Clear BBQ grill hood

Clear BBQ grill hood (to view cooking without lifting hood). That’s what we need. A cheap, after market BBQ grill hood. A see-through model. A self cleaning grill. Don’t forget the self cleaner. Does not need to be see-through.

 After cooking pizza, brat’s and biscuits on the barby, this writer found it difficult to see the progress of said delights. A see-through cover would be an improvement. Because it is difficult to regulate the heat it would be nice to at least see the progress. Without lifting the hood. The lifting of the hood causes a loss of heat. The loss of heat contributes to the difficulty of regulating said heat. A continuous round of lifting, heat loss, adjusting heat etc.. Using the barby is exhausting.

A see-through hood could be made for many makes and models. As a replacement any grill owner could replace. With a minimum amount of tools. Say a screwdriver, hammer and a bigger hammer. Maybe a bigger screwdriver also. Things any self-respecting BBQ owner has around his/her grill. Some cooks are not as experienced as this writer. Some cooks overcook the burgers. Thus the need for tools to remove the burgers from grill. This writer has said tools just in case they are needed. Has not happened yet.

 The hood could be made from a heat resistant plastic or just a metal hood with a heat resistant window placed in it. Much like modern ovens. We all recognize BBQ's are just a gas oven designed to work out doors. Don't forget the temperature gauge. It must have a temperature gauge. With just a few tap's with the old handy hammer, the old hood would be removed. And with a few more tap's with a handy hammer, the new hood would be added. Viola! A see-through barby! Screwdriver and other tools optional.

 Lets not forget the self cleaning grill. This also could be made as a replacement for many makes and models. The BBQ owner would use the same tools as mentioned earlier. Thus reducing the number/amount of different styles of tools required. After all, we do not want the BBQ owner to spend money on things other than BBQ accessories. That would be self defeating. The average BBQ owner/user is not a tool toting Neanderthal. although they (Neanderthals) may have invented BBQ'g. No, the average BBQ owner is a well educated high school graduate with a burning desire to cook out doors. Campfires not withstanding.

 The self-cleaning grill could, out of necessity, be an electrical appliance. plug it into an electrical source, set to cleaning temp, let it work. After a few minutes the charred food scrapes would fall off or at least soften so the grill could be scraped with out harming an elbow or two. Don't forget to unplug before doing the final cleaning step. Even a teenager would be able to clean the barby. Well on second thought........

   So, lets all support the BBQ industry. Lets demand new products that will be a benefit to us all. I challenge the reader to invent/build the items mentioned.

 

Hey, works for me.
