Insulated barbeque unit

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention utilizes a pair of half cylinders which are hinged along one of their edges so that they can fold from an open position wherein their diameters form a continuous plane to a closed position wherein their diameters are in facing relation and the two cylinder halves together combine to form a circular cylinder.
The cylindrical walls of the present invention are of double thickness, including an inner wall and an outer wall which are separated by an insulative layer.
In cross section the insulative layer appears crescent shaped with the widest portion of the crescent being located at the bottom of the half cylinders when the half cylinders are in their unfolded position.
Since the charcoal within the units rests adjacent this widest portion of the crescent shaped insulated material, the maximum insulation is applied at the point where the maximum heat is encountered.
The insulative material protects the outer surface of the cylinder from the heat of the charcoal within so that the paint on the outer surface will not become peeled or blackened due to the heat from the inside.
The ends of the two cylinder halves are each provided with vent openings and movable covers over the vent openings to provide adjustment thereof.
Folding legs are also mounted on the end walls of the device and are adapted to unfold to a position wherein they support the two cylinder halves on a supporting surface when the cylinder halves are opened to their open position.
