Abstract
Charcoal barbecue grills have a grate (coarse screen) for grilling foods which has generally a size of 430 mm×250 mm or a diameter of 550 mm (in kettle barbecue grills). With these dimensions it is not possible to soak the grate (coarse screen) in the sink of any household kitchen in order to remove residues which accumulate during barbecuing (grease and food remains) because without soaking the grate (coarse screen), it is impossible to completely remove the waste. With the cleaning basin it is possible to clean the dirty grate easily on the barbecue grill. In addition, the residual heat of the grilling coals is used to heat up the wash basin to thus be better able to loosen the impurities. Another advantage of this invention is that the cleaning basin is stored in or on the barbecue grill, thus requiring no separate place. The cleaning basin for rectangular barbecue grills is represented in FIG. 6. The cleaning basin for the round (kettle grill) barbecue grill is represented in FIG. 2.
