GRILLING APPARATUS

Disclosed is a grill having a firebox with an open upper end upon which rests a cooking grate. A burning chamber is disposed within the firebox and below the open upper end for containing a burning fuel material. A lid is hingedly affixed to the firebox and liftable to access either the grate or the burning chamber. A capture mechanism enables the lid to engage the grate such that when the capture mechanism is in a disengagement condition the lid may be lifted independently of the grate to access the grate, and when the capture mechanism is in an engagement condition lifting of the lid causes simultaneous lifting of the grate off of the firebox to allow access to the burning chamber.
