The base heating unit includes a housing adapted to support burning charcoal, and at least one air opening above and below the support, respectively, that are closeable to control air flow. Several different cooking chambers are provided that nest against the heating unit and/or nest into each other and/or stack on each other. The heating unit includes a funnel to direct food grease to a collection place, and a seasoning pan that both shields the funnel from heat and that holds seasoning for flavoring food being cooked. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An outdoor cooking apparatus 20 (FIG.
1) includes a base heating unit 21 (FIG.
2) and a plurality of cooking chambers 22-24 adapted to interlockingly engage the heating unit 21 so that the heating unit 21 and cooking chambers 22-24 can be carried separately or as a unit.
The base heating unit 21 includes a housing 25 (FIG.
2) with an internal support 26 adapted to support burning charcoal, and at least one air opening 28 above and at least one air opening 29 below the support, respectively, that includes doors 28A and 29A closeable to control air flow.
The different cooking chambers 22-24 are nestable against the heating unit 21 and/or nest into each other and/or stack on each other.
By the various arrangements, a number of different heating conditions can be created, permitting a complete connoisseur dinner to be simultaneously cooked, even with a novel chef.
An important aspect is that the heating unit 21 includes a funnel 30 shaped to direct food grease through the burning charcoal to a place of collection on a bottom of the heating unit 21.
A seasoning pan 32 includes a hole through which the funnel 30 extends, such that the pan 32 both shields the funnel 30 from the direct heat of the charcoal, and also is able to hold seasoning for flavoring the food being cooked.
As noted above, the base heating unit 21 (FIG.
2) includes the housing 25 and internal support 26 for supporting charcoal.
The housing 25 includes a cylindrical sidewall 36, and preferably include an open bottom 35.
The support 26 includes brackets that fixedly support an open mesh grating 37.
A second grating 38 can be placed on the first grating 37, and is made rotatable so that ashes can be shaken off the grating 37/38 by rotatingly oscillating or vibrating the grating 38 on the grating 37.
A small flange handle can be attached to the grating 38 to assist in shaking the grating 38, if desired.
A tube section 40 having a 1½ inch to 2-inch diameter extends up from a center of the grating 37
