US Patent 10517428 Grilling assembly

A grilling assembly for grilling over an open flame includes a frame that is tripoidal. A shaft is rotationally coupled by a first end to the frame. The shaft extends from proximate to an apex of the frame toward a base of the frame. A power module and a motor are coupled to the frame. The motor is operationally coupled to the power module and the shaft. The motor is positioned to rotate the shaft. A grate is coupled to a second end of the shaft. The grate is configured to position substantially horizontally over an open flame, such as a campfire. The grate is positioned to rotate coincident with the shaft such that food items that are positioned on the grate are positioned to be heated by the open flame.
