Definitions

  • This invention relates to a barbecue, portable and/or fixedly installed and for use in preparing food by heating.
  • Barbecues for preparing food by heating are known that util- ize combustion of solid fuels such as charcoal, coal and the like to provide the required heat.
  • Other known barbecues utilize combustion of a fluid fuel such as butane gas either alone or combined with a heat distributor in the form of lava pebbles or stones. It is also known to utilize electrical heating devices for heating the food in a barbecue.
  • Some food is best suited for one or another of the above mentioned heat sources. Meat with a high content of meltable fat thus often gives rise to problems with flames resulting from ignition of the fat deposited for instance on the lava stones of a fluid fuel fired barbecue. Other problems or unsatisfactory results are connected with utilization of solid fuels and electrical heating.
  • U.S. -patent 4,819,614 discloses a duel fuel barbecue grill having a burner element such as a gas burner or an electrical heating element and a tray for carrying charcoal briquettes.
  • the gas burner is stationary mounted to the bottom part of the barbecue grill while the tray in a first position is suited for carrying charcoal briquettes and in a second position is placed in a shielding relationship to the burner element.
  • the prior art barbecue grill according to U.S. -patent 4,819,614, however, is not flexible with regard to exchangeability of the two heat sources as the burner/electrical element is an integral part of the barbecue grill. Thus, it is difficult or even impossible to detach the burner/electrical element from the barbecue firebox and consequently it is inconvenient or even impossible to utilize the barbecue grill as a portable grill. Further, this prior art barbecue grill does not provide alternative or additional heat sources, e.g., for better control of the cooking process .
  • a barbecue of the type in reference comprising adapting means for receiving any one of a first and a second holding member at a time, each of the first and the second holding member carrying at least one of at least two different heat sources such as combustion of solids such as charcoal, wood, coal or the like, combustion of fluids such as butane gas, paraffin, kerosene or the like, elec- trical heating and any other suitable heat source.
  • the same barbecue may utilize different heat sources thereby allowing the most desired preparation of the different types of food with a single barbecue.
  • the user of the barbecue may choose to possess only one holding member, or he may choose to transport one holding member only when transporting the barbecue from one location to another .
  • Each of the first and second holding members may carry one heat source only. Thereby one heating source carried by the first holding member may be removed and substituted by another heating source carried by the second holding member.
  • the barbecue may comprise additional heat sources.
  • the holding members may be trays for receiving charcoal, coal, wood or the like or devices for combusting and/or containing fluids such as butane gas, paraffin, kerosene or the like or they may be electrical heating devices or any other suitable devices.
  • the adapting means may allow alternative use of at least two different heat sources, simultaneous use of at least two different heat sources and that at least partially different regions of the barbecue are heated by the different heat sources.
  • the barbecue is very flexible for use either for uniform preparation of the same food in relatively large quantities, combined treatment with different heat sources (electrical heating for sausages and charcoal heating for steaks) , broiling with one heat source and keep- ing warm with another or simultaneous preparation of different types of food such as meat and vegetables with different heat sources.
  • different heat sources electrical heating for sausages and charcoal heating for steaks
  • Other desirable combinations will obviously also be possible.
  • the principles of the invention may be incorporated in a barbecue having any suitable construction, for instance having lateral or top heat application to the food, a particularly simple and practical solution is obtained according to the invention by the barbecue comprising a shelter contai- ner, a grid or the like for supporting the food to be prepared thereon arranged in or on the shelter container, a solids container for ash and/or solid fuel arranged in a first position relative to the container below the grill and displacement means to allow the solids container to be dis- placed to a second position thereby allowing arranging a device for combustion of fluids, an electrical heating device or any other suitable heat source below the grid.
  • the shelter container may be provided with a bottom opening, the solids container at least partially closing said opening in the first position.
  • combinations of heat sources may have any suitable configuration, for instance for lateral heating, circumferential heating and so on, a particularly simple and practical solution is obtained with a barbecue having a shelter container that is open at the top, a lid being provided for closing the open top, the lid being provided with an electrical heating device and/or a combustion device for fluids or solids and/or any other suitable heating device.
  • one or more separate containers for solid fuel may be arranged in and/or on the solids container, the one or more containers for solid fuel being replaceable or supplementable by an alternative suitable heat source in the second position of the solids container such that the solids container transports the alternative heat source into a position below the grid when displaced back to the first position.
  • a barbecue portable and/or fixedly installed and comprising a shelter container, at least one grid or the like for supporting the food to be prepared thereon arranged in or on the shelter container, at least one solids container for ash and/or solid fuel arranged in a first position relative to the container below
  • the grill may have displacement means to allow the solids container to be displaced to a second position allowing emptying of the solids container.
  • the shelter container may be provided with a bottom opening, the solids container at least partially closing said opening in the first position thereof .
  • the invention also relates to a combustion device for fluid fuel for preparing food in a barbecue, and according to the invention the device is adapted for arrangement in and/or on or instead of the combustion chamber for solid fuels such as charcoal and coal or in and/or on or instead of the ash container for a portable and/or fixedly installed barbecue.
  • a combustion device may be retrofitted on existing barbecues .
  • the invention further relates to an electrical heating device for preparing food in a barbecue, and according to the in- vention the device is adapted for arrangement in and/or on or instead of the combustion chamber for solid fuels such as charcoal and coal or in and/or on or instead of the ash container for a portable and/or fixedly installed barbecue.

  • Metal wire baskets 8 for solid fuel such as charcoal are supported on the bottom edge of the container 1 and a tray 9 for ash having a handle 10 is releasably attached to the bottom of the container 1 thereby substantially closing the open bottom thereof.
  • the releasable interconnection of the tray 9 and the container 1 comprises interacting transverse flanges (not shown) at the bottom transverse edges of the container and at the top transverse edges of the tray 1.
  • the tray 1 is thus attached to the container 1 by sliding it under the bottom of the container 1 such that the corresponding transverse flanges slidingly abut one another.
  • the tray 1 In operation, the tray 1 is in the shown position below the container in which it substantially closes the open bottom of same in such a manner that air for combustion of the charcoal in the wire baskets 8 may enter the container 1 from below.
  • the tray 1 may be removed by pulling on the handle 10 thereby sliding the flanges of the tray 9 along the flanges of the container 1. Any ash in the tray 1 may thus be discharged in a simple and practical manner.
  • the grid 5 may be adjusted vertically relative to the container 1 with the lid 2 in its closed position by moving the rods 7 from one to another notch 4.
