A fuel-fired multifunctional cooker system is useable for deep frying, submerged cooking in water, steaming, griddle frying, grilling, double-boiler operation and simultaneous combinations thereof. Some examples of cooker system 4 include features such as a cylindrical flue with a perforated upper discharge ring plate for even heat distribution, a removable upper flue deflector ring (annular deflector) for shielding a user and creating an “air curtain” across the cooker system's upper food-receiving opening, an invertible griddle/grill cooktop with a central flue gas opening, an adjustable skewer, a steamer hood, an annular lower heat deflector around the burner, an annular flue gas baffle in the combustion chamber, a series of legs or feet creating a combustion air inlet between the floor and the cooker system's lower edge, a removable table, and a lifting device for handling one or more cooker components.
