Description

TECHNICAL AREA

The present invention relates to a multifunctional griller.

STATE OF THE ART

There are a variety of grills known in a variety of variants and at very different prices. The variety spectrum ranges from portable wood and coal grills, stationary grills, disposable barbecues, smoking ovens, electric grills and gas barbecues to oversized barbecues with special applications.

In addition, grills are known, which also allow a smoking function in addition to a grill function.

When entertaining people outdoors, especially in the cold season, so-called heat fungi are often used. These electrically or often gas-powered devices have a heat radiator, which emits heat in the upper region above the persons down, which is relatively unfavorable in particular with respect to the feeling of warmth for the persons to be heated, since the heat escapes relatively quickly upwards and people under it get "cold feet" relatively quickly.

Outdoor heaters or patio heaters are also used outdoors in cold temperatures. The radiant heaters always have the disadvantage that they are operated either with gas or electricity. In addition, they have a poor energy utilization. The large energy consumption is associated with the disadvantage that such radiant heaters generate heat from above, whereby much heat is lost to create a sense of well-being of the people below.

Based on the following functional description, the advantages of the multifunctional griller according to the invention are particularly clear.

Heating works like a normal fireplace. The fuel, especially wood, is inserted into the combustion chamber and ignited. In order to regulate the temperature, the draft can be reduced or increased by means of the door unit and / or a slider in the lower part of the housing unit and / or the means for controlling the flue smoke in the flue, thereby achieving a reduction in the fire or a firing. This function of heating is preferably used in conjunction with the counter unit. Then the grill forms a communication meeting point. After burning the wood within the combustion chamber, the ash accumulates in the bottom of the ash box and can then be disposed of accordingly. Alternatively, charcoal or pellets can be used instead of wood.

For grilling, the lid unit is removed and the lower first grate unit (fire grate) covered with wood, charcoal, charcoal. Depending on the temperature intensity and the desired grilling duration more or less charcoal is added. After lighting, wait until the embers are covered with an ash layer. For the actual grilling process, the second grate (grill grate) is placed in a next step and loaded with grilled food. Here you can control the heat with the door units or sliders by opening or closing the air supply. After grilling, the coal burns to ash, which then collects again in the ash box.

The multifunctional grilling device according to the invention is also suitable for smoking. Smoking is a distinction between warm smoking and cold smoking. In both methods, the incense is suspended from the second grate unit or placed on the first or second grate unit and the lid unit is closed. When cold smoking, the sawdust glimmers on its own, which does not generate much heat. To do this, place the sawdust or smoking flour in the ash pan and ignite so that it only smolders. Depending on the duration of the smoking process, this must be repeated. The smoke intensity can be controlled with the throttle valve in the furnace tube and / or the door and / or the slide.

In hot smoking, the sawdust or smoking meal is added to the combustion chamber. Subsequently, a fire is ignited in the ash box, whereby the smoking flour above it is made to glow and thus the smoking process is initiated. By the heat is also a cooking of the inserted good.

It is also possible to bake with the multifunctional grilling device according to the invention. For baking, the combustion chamber with fuel, especially wood or other fuel, filled and ignited a fire. Beforehand, for example, a firebrick is placed on the second grate unit and the lid unit is closed. Subsequently, the grill is heated for a long time, so that the firebrick receives a certain temperature. When the desired temperature has been reached, the lid unit is opened and the dough is placed. Subsequently, the lid unit is closed and baked the baked goods according to the desired baking time. There may also be a third door for the dough or an insert for the combustion chamber.

For cooking, simply place a suitable pot on the first grate unit and ignite a fire in the firebox.

If you do not want to treat foods in the form of grilling, smoking, baking or cooking but only the heating function, the first and second locking unit can optionally be removed, the combustion chamber filled with fuel and lit, in which heating state the lid unit is placed and the resulting Smoke is discharged through the exhaust pipe upwards. This stands with the multifunctional griller according to the invention, a heater available that develops heat from below, which is perceived by bystanders who are in a cold environment, particularly pleasant. Through the existing counter unit, the surrounding people can put drinks or food on it, lean against the counter unit conditionally and interact with each other in pleasant communication.
