Abstract:
A cooking grill uses infrared radiant top-down heat from burning a solid carbonaceous fuel to cook food. The cooking grill includes a grill body having sidewalls, a fuel rack disposed substantially horizontally within the grill body and adapted to hold a carbonaceous solid fuel, and a food rack disposed substantially horizontally within the grill body below the fuel rack. A method of grilling a food item includes placing the food item in a food rack and inserting the food rack into a grill body in a substantially horizontal orientation, placing a solid carbonaceous fuel in a food rack in a substantially horizontal position above the food rack in the grill body, igniting the solid carbonaceous fuel, and removing the food rack from the grill body when the food is cooked.
