  • the present invention accordingly relates to a grill device with a fire bowl for holding combustible material and a grill grate arranged at the upper end of the fire bowl, which is characterized in that an electrical heating element is arranged in the region of the bottom of the fire bowl, which is connected to the combustible material can come into contact.
  • the direct contact between the heating element and the combustible material ensures rapid and energy-saving heating and ignition of the combustible material.
  • the electric heating element is arranged in the area of the base of the fire bowl and does not have to be held or moved by the user. A particularly safe handling of the grill device according to the invention is therefore ensured.
  • the heating element is, however, preferably arranged removably in the fire bowl.

  • the spacers can be made of ceramic material or metal.
  • cuboid blocks on which the heating element rests can be used as spacers.
  • the spacers can also be designed as clamps which encompass the spiral windings of the heating element, for example, and thus fix it to the base of the fire bowl.
  • the heating element has a control device which comprises an electrical or mechanical timer. This can ensure that the heating element switches off automatically after a certain heating period typical of the combustible material used, so that the grill device according to the invention can be operated in a particularly energy-saving manner.
  • the heating element can be designed as a heating spiral, the line of which is fixedly or detachably connected to the control device.
  • the control device preferably also has a power cord for releasably connecting the grill to a power source.

  • connection socket of the control device is directed downward, so that the mains cable can easily come loose if the cable gets caught in obstacles or if the user or another person accidentally stands on the cable while the grill device is being moved.
  • the slight loosening of the power cord ensures that the grill device according to the invention, in which, for example, there may already be glowing coals, does not tip over and endanger people in such a case. If the timer is activated by the user for a certain time, the heating element heats up, begins to glow and ignites the combustible material.
  • the timer switches off the power supply to the heating element and the combustible material which has already been ignited can continue to burn without further assistance and produce the embers required for grilling.
  • the user can remove the mains cable and transport the grill device to the desired location regardless of the mains connections. Since grilling is nowadays mostly done in the home garden, on the terrace or on the balcony, the corresponding mains connections are usually also available.
  • the control device it is also possible to provide the control device with a cable which can be connected to a battery, for example a car battery. Since the grill device is typically used outdoors, the control device preferably has drainage channels through which penetrated water, for example rainwater, can flow off.
  • the grill device has a pivotable cover which has at least a first, essentially horizontal position, in which the cover covers the fire bowl, and a second, preferably vertical position, in which the cover serves as a windbreak can.
  • the lid is preferably brought into the vertical position to ignite the combustible material. After the combustible material has been ignited, the food to be grilled can be placed on the grillage and the grill device according to the invention can be operated like a conventional charcoal grill.
  • the lid preferably also comprises a hotplate, so that after the charcoal has been ignited, the lid is in the first, horizontal position. can be pivoted in which he covers the fire bowl, so that the hotplate is heated from below.
  • the hotplate can be used for roasting, braising or even heating food.
  • the hotplate preferably has a flat cooking area and / or a grooved cooking area, so that a wide variety of dishes can be prepared. The grooved
  • the cooking area is particularly suitable for preparing fatty foods or dishes that are coated with oil or another liquid during preparation.
  • the excess oil or the fat escaping from the prepared food can then be collected in a suitable container so that the oil or fat cannot come into contact with the hot flammable material and therefore no harmful decomposition products can be formed.
  • the hotplate preferably has at least one hole which, in the horizontal position of the hotplate, communicates with a collecting container for the oil or fat located underneath.
  • ventilation slots are provided in the pivotable cover, which ensure that smoke and steam can be drawn off when the cover is closed.
  • a cast iron grill plate for example, can also be provided, which is detachably mounted on the grillage if necessary.
  • the grill plate advantageously only partially covers the grillage.
  • the grill plate can have a side spout through which oil or fat can flow into a collecting container.
  • the collecting container can, for example, have dimensions that correspond to the dimensions of conventional beverage cans.
