A barbecue device includes an oven container having a top, bottom, opposite sides, opposite ends, and a centrally disposed cooking zone wherein foods are suspended. One or more bins for holding combustible materials are mounted on sides and yet laterally removed from underneath the cooking zone so as to prevent liquids from dripping off of the suspended foods and falling upon the combustible materials. The bins are easily accessible when rigidly and obliquely mounted to extend inside the oven container through an aperture in the side. The portions of the bins facing inward are permeable to smoke and heat while the outwardly facing portions are not. The oblique angle of the bins allow the combustible materials therein to provide an even source of heat to the food, particularly when the food is suspending in rotating rotisserie baskets. A hinged lid and handle facilitate the loading and unloading of the bins. The barbecue device disclosed herein is adaptable to many types of barbecue ovens including, but not limited to, those having rotisseries, stationary grill racks, or an interchangeable combination thereof.

A jack system for a vehicle mounted camper including a first pair of jacks secured to the lower front corners of the camper and a second pair of jacks secured to the rearward end of the camper. The front jacks are adapted to be lowered into ground engagement at times to support the front end of the camper while the rear jacks are adapted to be lowered to the ground to support the rearward end of the camper. The front jacks have their upper ends laterally adjustably secured to the camper so that the front jacks may be closely positioned adjacent the vehicle when in a travel position and so that they may be moved outwardly therefrom to a support position to enable the camper to be loaded on the vehicle or unloaded from the vehicle. The vehicle has a pair of brackets secured to its frame which are adapted to have the lower ends of the first pair of jacks connected thereto to tie down the camper to the vehicle when the jacks are not being used to support the camper. The lower ends of the first pair of jacks are provided with a quick length adjustable apparatus.

A power element is provided for rotating the brackets about the axis of rotation. A second cooking apparatus can also be mounted in the cooking compartment and can be either a conventional stationary horizontal grill, or can duplicate the structure of the first cooking apparatus. Vertically disposed fuel baskets are laterally positioned with respect to the food cooking area.

A barbecue oven has a cooking compartment having a top and a bottom. A combustion chamber is mounted on the oven below the cooking compartment. An inclined floor is in the oven below the cooking compartment and above the combustion compartment, and is tilted towards a grease collection receptacle. At least one tube connects the bottom of the grease collection receptacle with the combustion compartment so that as the receptacle fills with grease, the level of grease will rise in the tube and gradually overflow into the combustion chamber, for combustion therein.
