• - The universal grill allows the construction of seven in tent trays for storing drinks and food, as well as to take the meal with friends.
• - Maintenance and cleaning are simple and convenient. Un There is no danger of falling if the device is operated correctly ben.

3. Structure of the universal grill: a) The basic equipment:

• - some main dimensions of the universal grill: length: 750 mm width: 350 mm height (in compact form): 320 mm height (in operating mode): 550 mm height adjustment of the grillage: 250 mm height adjustment of the roaster: 180 mm dimensions of the roaster:
  Diameter (⌀): 450 mm edge height: 50 mm
• - For storage or transport in the luggage compartment the universal grill was compact and space-saving shapes.

In structured form, it presents itself as follows:

A strong light metal frame made of aluminum profiles or brazier supports the brazier made of stainless steel Sheet steel. The thermal protection of the pool is either through an inner lining with heat-insulating light metal or Ceramic plates or through an outer cladding with isolie render mineral wool guaranteed. The frame carries the still a number of welded pipe sockets for mounting the dining trays. Are on one long side the swiveling grill and the two cover plates strengthens while the opposite long side to the on acceptance of the breeder is provided.

The universal grill rests on four feet that come with the rectangular frames are firmly connected. At the bottom are the feet by welded rondelles against sinking protected in soft soil. The feet are in tele Skop construction and ver with locking screws see. By extending the telescopic feet independently the horizontal position of the grill on any floor texture can be secured.

Allow two handles welded to the transverse sides Transport to and from the luggage compartment.

The lighting and burning of the coal is done by an air bladder relieved and accelerated that below the Basin is attached to the grill frame. To accommodate the Air flow is the pool in the middle with a grille rust, which is covered by the coals during operation  becomes.

The air blower is powered by a low voltage electrical motor (12 V) driven, depending on the status either from the mains via a transformer or but can be done directly from the car battery. The Power consumption is low because the air blower doesn't all the time, but only needed to light the fire and then turned off again.

Below the basin, there is another bed on the support frame attached to the holder for storing and storing the Barbecue cutlery is used. So there is a loss of this to excluded during the "rest period" and the loading is always at hand when needed.

b) The grill equipment:

For grill purposes, the universal grill is with a mobi len large-area grate, and is made of non-rust Tender, heat and warp resistant material. The grillage covers the brazier all over and has a close-meshed grid to hold the food made of light metal rods.

The grill grate can be moved on one side on two grids support stored so that it is at another Grillbe use or for the purpose of pool and rust cleaning can be swung out by a rotary movement of 270 ° can, but without affecting the grill operation.

Depending on requirements, the whole can with intensive use Grilling surface can be covered with grilled food or at low rer number of participants, only the middle part of the grate. The the coating of the basin can also be used accordingly Coal done.  

The grate supports are firmly connected to the grill frame, but are adjustable. A gear mechanism enables the grate supports to move in the vertical direction and thus to adjust the height of the entire grill grate. The se device thus allows a manual adjustment of the optimal grate height, so that the grilling conditions can be adjusted according to the given food. The food can also be gently grilled by quickly and easily adjusting the grate height to the embers:
If there is a lot of embers , raise the grate, if the embers are low , lower them without any other complicated intervention.

c) The roasting equipment:

The roaster is a large, round bowl with sloping bottom and raised edge. It is made of rust-free sheet metal as well as the one hearing roaster lids. It is based on an exzen trisch (on the outer edge) welded metal rod (or pipe), which is further interpreted in a corresponding way tube and attached to the grill frame can. The height of the roaster is therefore no longer stu can be adjusted as in the case of the grate, but pre-set given distances, depending on the insertion of the support bolt in a corresponding opening of the sliding tube socket.

The roaster can therefore rotate around its eccentric axis:
in "rest position" it is swung out while being swung over the brazier when in use.

In the respective position, the roaster is actuated fixed against the locking screw.  

In its center and in the raised position is a screw attached to the inclusion of a metal handle for prob easy handling of the roaster. With the help of this The roaster can be rotated or used during operation Cleaning.

The part of the raised roasting rim from the area the axis of rotation can be used for the purpose of emptying or cleaning be opened. There are also two small ones in this segment Welded pipe socket to hold the roaster lid.

The center of the lid is provided with an opening through which a metal pin leads to a rosette at the outer end handle is attached while its inward end carries a thread. This pin is used to attach the Lid on the roasting pan by screwing it onto the bottom of the roasting pan welded screw to it so during transportation and Storage to protect against contamination or damage Zen.

The lid pin has an elastic spring Suspension to locate quickly with the lid closed the screw inside the roaster.

The lid is not fixed to the roaster, but is only loosely connected by means of two mobile pins and allows the roaster to be used properly:
during operation, it can be closed to prevent grease splashes or to preserve heat. It is easy to operate by means of the outer handle for loading or removing the food.

Likewise, it can be closed to fried food keep warm longer or during a "break"  its contamination by wind-blown dirt prevent.

If desired, it can be removed completely and set aside be placed.

d) The cooking equipment:

This equipment is primarily used for preparation " Place "of strong, spicy broths, of fondue dishes other dishes, puddings and creams, or coffee preparation in the Turkish way, among other things, as desired and ingenuity of the user.

The Trä rods of the tensioners introduced. These bars also have a corresponding square cross-section Dimension and are in the lower area of their outer sides with equidistant, dome-shaped notches for si cheren finding. In this way, one simple and quick height adjustment of the clamping device direction guaranteed.

The actual clamping device comprises a round rod that moves horizontally in the square support rod  Lich is stored, and one at its outer end Swivel arm with handle and a screw cone at the inner end carries the winch into the corresponding threaded opening of the Jaws engages. The jaws are with one fire-resistant asbestos covering, and their curvature dius can be used in sets of different pot sizes be fit.

The jaws can be actuated by operating the rotary arm horizontal for receiving or releasing the cooking vessels be adjusted.

For grilling larger single-piece items, one leads through the same cross two long pointed wire pins with their ends in corresponding openings the jaws engage. By operating the rotary arm The food can be grilled safely and evenly over the Brazier can be turned.
