Abstract
An apparatus for dispensing a liquid basting sauce includes an elongated sauce delivery tube having multiple spray nozzles suspended in spaced relationship along the length of the tube. The sauce delivery tube is mounted on the barbecue grill in a position above the food being cooked or, alternatively, intermediately between the food and the firebox. Connected to one end of the delivery tube is a pressurized sauce supply bottle which contains the selected basting sauce. A timer-controlled injection valve connects the sauce supply bottle to the delivery tube, and upon activation of the valve by the selected timer device, sauce is injected under pressure into the tube and dispensed through the spray nozzles.
