Abstract
A disposable aromatic barbecue enhancer includes a foil housing formed in a generally cylindrical shape and defining an interior cavity. A combustible aromatic mixture is compacted within the interior cavity and a plurality of vent apertures are formed in the upper surface of the foil housing. In a fabrication method for the enhancer, a cylindrical receptacle supports a pair of extendable side pins and an extendable bottom pin beneath a movable piston. A plurality of pointed elements are supported within the cavity of the receptacle. A malleable incombustible sheet of foil material is initially placed overlying the receptacle and is formed by extrusion into the receptacle into a cup-like element. Thereafter, the combustible aromatic mixture is deposited therein. The mixture is compressed within the foil material and the foil is formed into a housing enclosure having the vent apertures pierced therein.
Description
- This invention relates generally to barbecue cooking units and particularly to those utilizing gas heating elements.
- Perhaps one of the most pervasive outdoor appliances in use today is that generally known as an outdoor barbecue or grill. The designs and structures of such barbecue grills have varied substantially as practitioners have sought to meet consumer needs. However, all such barbecue grills generally include a housing defining an interior cavity within which one or more tiers of grills are supported. At the bottom portion of the housing a heating apparatus is provided with the object being to create sufficient heat to cook the food articles placed upon the upper grill tiers.
- Originally, such grills utilize a disposable fuel such as charcoal brochettes which were consumed during the cooking process producing ashes which were later discarded. To enhance the flavor and aroma of the cooking food in such barbecue grills, consumers often supplemented the burning charcoal brochettes with various aromatic wood chips and similar material such as the ever popular mesquite wood or the like.
- As the use of outdoor cooking grills became more popular, manufacturers developed gas powered cooking grills in which the original charcoal brochette cooking elements were replaced by a group of gas burners and a layer of noncombustible heating materials such as various stones or rock. The object in such gas grills is to utilize the burner as the basic heat source while providing a generally even heat due to the heating action of the burner upon the stones or rock layer. Gas grills quickly became popular because of the avoidance of disposing of messy ash material as was the case in charcoal brochette heated barbecue units. In addition, consumers enjoyed the convenience of gas barbecue grills which did not provide the extensive delay associated with charcoal brochette barbecue units.
- As the consumer began switching to the economy and convenience of gas fired barbecue grills, many consumers missed the fragrance of the conventional consumable fuel-type grills. In addition, the use of supplemental aromatic wood chips and the like in such gas grills produces a problem in disposing of the residue and ash. Thus, consumers enjoyed the convenience of gas grills but missed the fragrance and aroma of consumable fuel grill devices. To address this need, practitioners in the art developed several types of aromatic wood canisters intended to be used in gas-powered grills. In general, these provide noncombustible containers within which a quantity of aromatic wood chips and the like are housed. The object is to place the canister on the lower heated rock layer of the gas grill and rely upon the canister to retain the ash produced as the aromatic wood is slowly burned. Such devices have been provided in both reusable and refillable species as well as disposable design.
- For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,779,525 issued to Gaines sets 15 forth a SMOKE GENERATING DEVICE for use in a barbecue or the like is disclosed comprising a smoke producing material, such as wood chips, enclosed in a noncombustible perforated container. The perforations are kept covered by a perforation cover until use so as to prevent leakage of the smoke producing materials from the container and to prevent the loss of moisture and volatile aromatic oils from the smoke producing material. This cover is preferably constructed of a combustible material so that when heated in a barbecue, it will ignite and burn off to expose the perforations, through which the smoke can then escape to flavor the food.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,048,406 issued to Cofer sets forth a DISPOSABLE/REFILLABLE SMOKE CARTRIDGE FOR GAS BARBECUE GRILLS including a single unit, ready to use device for flavoring food by smoking on a barbecue grill using gas or other fuels having a cartridge containing small pieces of one of the aromatic woods, such as Hickory or Mesquite, etc., or any combination thereof. The package can contain draft vent perforations to allow enough air to flow in to promote charring without allowing ignition, and smoke to flow directably out. In use, the package is placed directly on the gas heated lava rocks, burning charcoal, or other fuel. When the process is complete, the cooled package is disposed along with other household refuse, or it can be saved for recycling. Multiple cartridges can be made available in multi-cartridge carriers and more than one cartridge can be used simultaneously or sequentially. The cartridges can be refilled, if desired.
- While the foregoing designed prior art devices have provided 20 some limited capability for enhancing the aroma of gas powered barbecue grills, they tend to be expensive and of limited effectiveness. In particular, the refillable types of such devices are often messy and have been generally rejected by the consumer.
- There remains, therefore, a continuing need in the art for an effective, inexpensive and easy to use disposable aromatic barbecue enhancer which provides the aromatic and flavor benefit of consumable fuel barbecue grills without the attendant mess.
- Accordingly, it is a general object of the present invention to provide an improved aromatic barbecue enhancer. It is a more particular object of the present invention to provide an improved aromatic barbecue enhancer which is disposable and which is inexpensive to manufacture.
- In accordance with the present invention, there is provided for use in a cooking grill or the like, a disposable enhancer comprises: an incombustible malleable sheet formed into a closed housing defining an interior cavity, a plurality of vent apertures, and a crimped closure surface; and an aromatic combustible particulate mixture received and compacted within the interior cavity.
- The features of the present invention, which are believed to be novel, are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The invention, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in the several figures of which like reference numerals identify like elements and in which:
-
FIG. 1 sets forth a perspective view of a typical outdoor barbecue grill utilizing the present invention disposable aromatic barbecue enhancer; -
FIG. 2 sets forth a perspective view of a disposable aromatic barbecue enhancer constructed in accordance with the present invention; -
FIGS. 3 and 4 set forth section views of the present invention disposable aromatic barbecue enhancer taken along section lines 3-3 inFIG. 2 and showing the enhancer prior to and following combustion respectively; -
FIG. 5 sets forth a perspective diagrammatic view of an apparatus for manufacturing the present invention disposable aromatic barbecue enhancer; -
FIGS. 6A through 6G taken together set forth simplified diagrams describing a method of manufacturing the present invention disposable aromatic barbecue enhancer. -
FIG. 1 sets forth a perspective view of a conventional gas fire barbecue grill generally referenced bynumeral 10. In accordance with conventional fabrication techniques,grill 10 includes ametal housing 11 supporting a hingedly coupled metal cover 12.Housing 11 defines aninterior cavity 13 within which alower grate 14 is received and supports arock layer 15. Aburner 14 also constructed in accordance with conventional fabrication techniques is supported beneathgrate 14 and is coupled to a source of natural gas or the like (not shown).Grill 10 further includes a pair ofcooking grates 16 and 17 supported aboverock layer 15. In the position shown inFIG. 1 , cooking grate 17 is pivoted in the direction indicated byarrow 18 to provide access torock layer 15. - A barbecue enhancer constructed in accordance with the present invention and generally referenced by
numeral 20 is placed uponrock layer 15 at a convenient spot afterwhich cooking grate 17 is returned to its normal position in a generally planar relationship withcooking grate 16. During the heating process and while the food articles are being cooked uponcooking grate 16,barbecue enhancer 20 produces an aromatic smoke stream 21 which, under normal cooking conditions, fills the cooking enclosure formed byhousing 11 and cover 12 when closed. Thus, during the cooking process, the heat provided byburner 14 cooks the food articles uponcooking grates 16 and 17 while also supporting combustion of the aromatic combustible materials withinbarbecue enhancer 20 to provide an aromatic and flavorizing smoke which greatly increases the flavor and appeal of the food articles cooked withingrill 10. -
FIG. 2 sets forth a perspective view ofbarbecue enhancer 20.Enhancer 20 includes a generallycylindrical foil housing 22 preferably formed in the manner set forth below and defining anupper surface 23 and acylindrical side surface 25. In its preferred form,foil housing 22 comprises a single sheet of malleable incombustible foil such as aluminum foil or the like which has been crimped and compacted to form anundersurface 26. A plurality ofvent apertures 24 are defined inupper surface 23. - As is set forth below in greater detail,
barbecue enhancer 20 defines an interior cavity within which a compressed and somewhat compacted mixture of aromatic wood material and additional elements are received. The size and number ofvent apertures 24 inupper surface 23 is selected to provide the desired combustion rate of aromatic and flavor enhancing materials withinenhancer 20. The objective is to provide a slow long duration combustion and outward diffusion of the aromatic and flavor enhancing material withinenhancer 20. -
FIG. 3 sets forth a section view ofbarbecue enhancer 20 taken along section lines 3-3 inFIG. 2 . As described above,enhancer 20 includes afoil housing 22 having a generally cylindrical shape and defining acylindrical side surface 25, anupper surface 23 and acrimped undersurface 26.Enhancer 20 further defines aninterior cavity 27 within which a quantity of compacted combustible andaromatic mixture 30 is received. As described above, ventapertures 24 extend throughupper surface 23 and communicateinterior cavity 27 with the exterior ofbarbecue enhancer 20. - In the configuration shown in
FIG. 3 ,enhancer 20 has yet to commence the above-described combustion process and thuscombustible mixture 30 completely fillsinterior cavity 27. -
FIG. 4 sets forth a section view ofbarbecue enhancer 20 taken along section lines 3-3 inFIG. 2 following the combustion ofmixture 30 asbarbecue enhancer 20 is utilized in the above-described manner. As can bee seen by comparison ofFIGS. 3 and 4 ,combustible mixture 30 has been reduced to an ash andresidue mixture 31 which no longer completely fillsinterior cavity 27. In accordance with the anticipated use of the present invention barbecue enhancer,enhancer 20 once utilized is allowed to cool and thereafter simply discarded. It should be noted that whilefoil housing 22 is lightweight and inexpensive to manufacture, it completely encloses bothcombustible mixture 30 andash residue 31 during the use ofbarbecue enhancer 20 and the disposal thereof. As a result, the consumer is able to utilize the present invention barbecue enhancer without the mess and difficulties associated with the refillable prior art devices. In addition, the use of an inexpensive foil housing avoids the substantial expense involved in utilizing prior art disposable containers. - The combustible mixture within the foil housing of the present invention enhancer may be varied in mixture to suit the preferences of the user. It has been found advantageous to utilize a mixture having an aromatic wood such as mesquite or the like together with a spice or spices. In addition, a meat tenderizer may be utilized. Accordingly, it should be understood that in its preferred form,
combustible mixture 30 includes a mixture of aromatic wood particles together with a spice combination and a meat tenderizer. -
FIG. 5 sets forth a diagrammatic view of a simple apparatus for manufacturing the present invention flavor enhancer. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art thatFIG. 5 as well asFIGS. 6A through 6G which follow are intended solely to depict a suggested manufacturing method for the present invention enhancer and that several associated manufacturing components are omitted in the interest of clarity and simplicity. It will be further apparent to those skilled art in the art that such elements are easily and readily obtainable utilizing well known manufacturing apparatus and techniques and thus are not required to be set forth herein. - More specifically,
FIG. 5 sets forth a manufacturing apparatus generally referenced bynumeral 40.Apparatus 40 includes a generally cylindrical receptacle defining aninterior cavity 42 having a slightly taperedside surface 43 and a generally planar bottom 45.Bottom surface 45 further supports a plurality of upwardly extending tapered piercingelements 44 and acenter aperture 52.Side surface 43 defines a pair of oppositely positionedapertures cylindrical piston 55 defines anend surface 56 and is receivable withininterior cavity 42 ofreceptacle 41. A plurality ofextendable pins expander units Pins apertures interior cavity 42 in the directions indicated byarrows pin 62 is positioned withinaperture 52 and is extendable upwardly withininterior cavity 42 in the direction indicated byarrow 68. Thus, during the manufacturing process set forth below in greater detail, conventional operative means (not shown) are coupled topiston 55 and provide motion ofpiston 55 downwardly in the direction of arrow 65 to forcepiston 55 intointerior cavity 42. Similarly, the activation ofexpanders pins interior cavity 42 to provide the manufacturing operation set forth below inFIGS. 6A through 6G . -
FIG. 6A sets forth a simplified section view ofmanufacturing apparatus 40 at the commencement of a fabrication cycle. Thus, as described above,apparatus 40 includes acylindrical receptacle 41 defining a cylindricalinterior cavity 42 having aside surface 43 which defines abottom surface 45 supporting a plurality of upwardly extending piercing elements or points 44.Cylindrical receptacle 41 further defines a plurality ofapertures 50 through 52 which receive and support a corresponding plurality ofextendable pins 60 through 62 which in turn are coupled toconventional expanders 70 through 72 respectively. Acylindrical piston 55 is coupled to operative means for providing vertical motion therein (not shown) and defines a generallyplanar end surface 56. - At the initiation of a fabrication cycle, a
foil sheet 75 formed of an incombustible preferably malleable material such as conventional aluminum foil or the like generally referenced bynumeral 75 is positioned abovecylindrical receptacle 41 and beneathpiston 55. -
FIG. 6B sets forth the initial stroke ofpiston 55 in whichpiston 55 has moved downwardly intocylindrical receptacle 41 in the direction indicated byarrow 57 carrying foil sheet downwardly intointerior cavity 42 and forcingfoil sheet 75 to form about the outer surface ofpiston 55 to form a cup-like structure. It should be noted that the initial stroke ofpiston 55 is a partial stroke carrying foil sheet 75 a sufficient distance to form a cup-like depression therein but stopping short of forcing it againstbottom surface 45 ofreceptacle 41. -
FIG. 6C sets forth the configuration ofapparatus 40 following the initial step ofFIG. 6B and the withdrawal ofpiston 55 fromcylindrical receptacle 41. As described above,foil sheet 75 has, as a result, formed a cup-like structure and in accordance with the present invention method, a quantity ofcombustible mixture 30 has, in the configuration shown inFIG. 6C , been deposited within the cup-like formation offoil sheet 75. -
FIG. 6D sets forth the configuration ofapparatus 40 following the compacting and compression stroke ofpiston 55.Piston 55 has again moved downwardly in the direction indicated byarrow 57. In this instance,piston 55 is forced downwardly intointerior cavity 52 ofreceptacle 41 in a full compressionstroke driving foil 75 fully to the bottom ofcavity 41 and forcingcombustible mixture 30 againstbottom surface 45 to compact and compressmixture 30. Concurrently, the forcing ofmixture 30 againstbottom surface 45 also forces the lower portion offoil 75 against piercingelements 44 causing the formation of a plurality of vent apertures (seevent apertures 24 inFIG. 2 ). -
FIG. 6E sets forth the next fabrication step ofapparatus 40 in whichpiston 55 is withdrawn frominterior cavity 42 leavingfoil 75 and compactedmixture 30 withininterior cavity 42.Pins arrows foil 75. The character of this collapsing offoil 75 above compactedmixture 30 is adjusted in accordance with the desired crimping to be imposed uponfoil 75. Thus, it may be preferable using certain foil materials and thicknesses to provide nonsymmetrical folding offoil 75 by introducing uneven travel extensions ofpins FIG. 6E . The important aspect in the manufacturing step shown inFIG. 6E is the desired positioning of the upper portion offoil 75 to provide the desired crimping characteristic imposed thereon in step 6F set forth below. -
FIG. 6F sets forth the crimping step of the present invention fabrication method in which pins 60 and 61 are withdrawn from the position shown inFIG. 6F and thereafterpiston 55 is again driven downwardly intointerior cavity 42. Aspiston 55 is driven downwardly,end surface 56 folds and crimps the upper portion offoil 75 to form a sealed undersurface 26 (seen inFIGS. 2 through 4 ). In addition,piston 55 during the crimping step shown inFIG. 6F is able to impose a final compacting force uponmixture 30. -
FIG. 6G sets forth the final step in the present invention method of fabrication in whichpiston 55 is withdrawn from the crimping step shown inFIG. 6F and in whichpin 62 is forced upwardly throughaperture 52 in the direction ofarrow 68 to drive the now completely formedenhancer 20 outwardly frominterior cavity 42. This completes the fabrication andapparatus 40 is then ready for the next fabrication cycle by withdrawingpin 62 and returning to the position shown inFIG. 6A . - It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the manufacturing and fabrication process set forth in
FIGS. 6A through 6G provides a low cost and effective manufacture for the present invention barbecue enhancer. The use of a crimped foil enclosure forenhancer 20 avoids the previously encountered expenses and complexity found in the prior art devices. Furthermore, the resulting structure of the present invention barbecue enhancer provides a cost effective, inexpensive and easy to use device which is simply used and discarded. Thus, the present invention barbecue enhancer is virtually free of any attendant mess or residue. - While particular embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from the invention in its broader aspects. Therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.
