BarBProp

Abstract

A BarBProp is an auxiliary device that is used for temperature control in a barbeque grill. It offers multiple levels of heat control and helps to regulate the intensity of the heat within the grill chamber. The device can be used in two different ways to regulate the cooking temperature. First, the leg of the device can be made to rest on the edge of the grill while the lid rests on one of the fishhook shaped supports. Second, the user can choose to rest the fishhook supports on the edge of the grill while the leg of the device holds the lid. In either of the two approaches, the user determines the height at which the barbeque lid remains open for to heat escape. A novel aspect of the device is that the heat tolerant handle provides for easy and safe use without any risk of injury or fire burns. This device can be attached to the barbeque grill for easy access when needed.

1 . A heat tolerant, universal, auxiliary barbeque device for controlling the temperature of barbeque grills with hoods.  
   
   
       2 . A heat tolerant, universal, auxiliary barbeque device as described in  claim 1  further comprising of: 
 a. A heat tolerant grill prop (for keeping the grill's hood propped up at different angles);    b. A handle made of heat-tolerant material that protects the handler from the heat from the grill prop;    c. A heat guard made of a heat-tolerant material that separates the leg housing from the handle;    d. A screw hole for fastening the grill prop to the heat guard;    e. An interior fastener that fastens the handle with the grill prop; and    f. An exterior fastener that secures the interior fastener to the handle and the grill prop.    
   
   
       3 . A heat tolerant grill prop as claimed in  claim 2  further comprising of a grill prop attachment that has fishhook shaped notches with U-shaped depressions.  
   
   
       4 . A method of using a heat tolerant, universal, auxiliary device as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the device is used to prop open a barbeque grill hood in such a way that the food cooking temperature can be set by the user.  
   
   
       5 . The barbeque device as claimed in  claim 3  wherein the grill prop has the fishhook shaped notches that are used to set the grill at different temperatures, the U-shaped depressions are used to anchor the barbeque device on the grill equipment, and the grill prop attachment hole is used to attach the barbeque device to the grill equipment.  
   
   
       6 . The barbeque device as claimed in  claim 5  wherein the heat guard and handle are made of heat-resistant materials to protect the user from the heat generated from the barbeque grill.  
   
   
       7 . The barbeque device as claimed in  claim 6  wherein the screw hole, the interior fastener, and exterior fastener are used to attach the heat resistant handle to the barbeque grill.
