Claim:
A portable and adjustable grill apparatus for cooking, comprising: a “Y”-shaped base comprising: a stem; a first base arm extending horizontally outward at an angle therefrom said stem; and, a second base arm extending horizontally outward at an angle therefrom said stem; a first leg assembly extending vertically downward therefrom said base comprising: a first upper leg section removably attached to said first base arm of said base; and, a first lower leg section adjustably attached to said first upper leg section; a second leg assembly extending vertically downward therefrom said base comprising: a second upper leg section removably attached to said second base arm of said base; and, a second lower leg section adjustably attached to said second upper leg section; a third leg assembly extending vertically downward therefrom said base comprising: a third upper leg section removably attached to said stem of said base; and, a third lower leg section adjustably attached to said third upper leg section; a mechanically-operated rotary winch mounted on said stem of said base; and, an adjustable cable controlled by said winch and connected at a first end to said winch, traversing along said base therethrough an aperture and connecting at a second end to a grill surface, wherein said apparatus provides a means for vertical adjustability thereby enabling a user to control an amount of heat thereto said grill surface when cooking over an open heat source; wherein said first lower leg section allows a user to adjust a length of said first leg assembly allowing said apparatus to be used on uneven surfaces; wherein said second lower leg section allows a user to adjust a length of said second leg assembly allowing said apparatus to be used on uneven surfaces; wherein said third lower leg section allows a user to adjust a length of said third leg assembly allowing said apparatus to be used on uneven surfaces; wherein said cable provides a means of transferring horizontal adjustment from said winch to vertical adjustment of said grill surface and; wherein said apparatus further comprises: a first folding extension having a first lip pivotally connected to said first base arm of said base at a first pivot point by a first fastener, wherein said first lip provides a horizontal rigidity to said first folding extension and said base; and, a second folding extension having a second lip pivotally connected to said second base arm of said base at a second pivot point by a second fastener, wherein said second lip provides a horizontal rigidity to said second folding extension and said base.
