ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a barbecue grill, and more particularly, to a smokeless barbecue grill having a divider with a protrusion extending therefrom, the protrusion having a hole defined therethrough so that grease and carbon particles from the grill are condensed in the water sprayed from nozzles around the grill and will not be sucked into the ventilators located below the divider.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A conventional barbecue grill, especially the type used inside of houses, is required to reduce the smoke emanating from coals burning in the grill bed so that ventilators are arranged around the barbecue grill to exhaust the smoke. The ventilators are located in the table with the barbecue grill and are flush with the table so that the smoke is exhausted from the barbecue grill right after it is generated. However, the smoke includes so much grease and ash which attaches to the inside of the pipes in the table and the ground and the fans of the ventilators. The sticky grease and ash narrow the inner diameter of the pipes and reduce efficiency of the ventilators. In addition, after the grill has been used for a period of time, it takes a huge effort to clean the pipes in the ground and the table, and such cleaning process takes several days during which the barbecue grill cannot be used.
The present invention intends to provide a smokeless barbecue grill whose grease and ash are condensed in water sprayed from nozzles around the device, and the water drops through a hole in a divider below which the ventilators are located. Therefore, the air sucked by the ventilators contains very little of the grease and ash.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a smokeless barbecue grill comprising a grill received in a tubular frame with gaps defined between the frame and the grill, a plurality of nozzles located below the grill, a divider connected transversely in the frame and located below the nozzles, at least one hole defined through the divider, and at least one ventilator located below the divider.
An object of the present invention is to provide a smokeless barbecue grill wherein the ventilator will not suck the grease and coal particles therein.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a smokeless barbecue grill wherein the divider has a protrusion with a hole defined therethrough, water sprayed from the nozzles drops through the hole when the water level is higher than the protrusion so that the hole is sealed by the water and no air having grease and coal particles may enter through the hole.
Further objects, advantages, and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
