Abstract
An adjustable searing grate for a barbecue grill comprises a cooking surface and an outrigger device. The cooking surface comprises a plurality of searing wires arranged in a substantially parallel configuration and a longitudinal member disposed substantially perpendicularly to the plurality of searing wires. Each of the plurality of searing wires has a substantially oval cross-section. The longitudinal member supports the plurality of searing wires. The outrigger device is adapted to slidably engage the cooking surface. The outrigger device is slidably fixed along one of the plurality of searing wires and the longitudinal member in order to adjust a dimension of the adjustable searing grate.
Claims13
An adjustable searing grate for a barbecue grill, comprising:
- a cooking surface, comprising:
- a plurality of searing wires arranged in a substantially parallel configuration, each of said plurality of searing wires having a substantially oval cross-section;
- and
- a longitudinal member disposed substantially perpendicularly to said plurality of searing wires, said longitudinal member supporting said plurality of searing wires;
- and
- an outrigger device adapted to slidably engage said cooking surface;
- wherein said outrigger device is slidable along one of said plurality of searing wires and said longitudinal member to adjust a dimension of the adjustable searing grate.
An adjustable searing grate for a barbecue grill, comprising:
- a cooking surface, comprising:
- a plurality of longitudinal members being arranged in a substantially parallel configuration, said plurality of longitudinal members being substantially linear and being defined by a length;
- a plurality of searing wires having a substantially oval cross-section and being arranged in a substantially parallel configuration having a space therebetween, and being disposed along the length of said plurality of longitudinal members such that said plurality of searing wires are arranged substantially perpendicular to said plurality of longitudinal members;
- and
- a pair of support tubes, wherein a first support tube of said pair of support tubes is arranged substantially parallel to said plurality of said searing wires and a second support tube of said pair of support tubes is arranged substantially parallel to said plurality of said searing wires;
- wherein said first support tube is disposed toward one end of said plurality longitudinal members and said second support tube is disposed toward an opposing end of said plurality longitudinal members;
- and
- an outrigger device, comprising:
- a support member being substantially elongated and defined by a length;
- and
- a pair of support wires being disposed at opposing ends of said support member, said pair of support wires adapted to slidably engage said support tubes of said cooking surface;
- wherein slideable movement of said support wires along said support tubes alters a dimension of the adjustable searing grate.
A barbecue grill comprising:
- a firebox having a heat source disposed therein;
- and
- an adjustable searing grate comprising a plurality of searing wires having a substantially oval cross-section, and being adapted to engaged a portion of said firebox such that said adjustable searing grate is suspended over said heat source, said adjustable searing grate comprising:
- a cooking surface;
- and
- an outrigger device slidably engaging said cooking surface;
- wherein said outrigger device is slidably moved along a portion of said cooking surface until said adjustable searing grate engages a portion of said firebox such that the adjustable searing grate is suspended over the heat source.
An adjustable searing grate for a barbecue grill, comprising:
- means for searing food over a heat source;
- means for retaining food on said searing grate;
- means for adjusting a dimension of said means for searing food;
- and
- means for movably fixing said means for adjusting a dimension to said means for searing food.
