Design, Construction and Modeling of a Mechanical Portable Barbecue Machine
It is an undisputable fact that the existing skewers we come across our various homes and roadsides are heavy and thus, are not easily carried around. Their source of heat which is charcoal is also a danger to the environment in that the process of even acquiring the charcoal promotes deforestation which is tantamount to global warming. The operator is exposed to unfriendly working conditions since the flow of heat cannot be easily controlled. The emission of smoke during operation on the larger skewers pollutes the environment and more importantly, can cause cancer of the respiratory systems. Ashes can be present in the products which can change their taste. Moreover, it is difficult to attain uniform heat distribution. It is by these observations that the initiation of the portable gas barbecue is designed. The primary objective is to provide a barbecue which is portable that is, can be moved from place to place with ease. This design seeks to eliminate the health hazards associated with the use of charcoal in the larger skewers as their source of heat. Notwithstanding, this design in reality would be a perfect substitute if not an alternative to the use of the larger skewers. Moreover, with its safe operating conditions, economical usage, faster cooking time rate, complete burning processes, environmentally friendly characteristics, uniform heat distribution and heat regulating abilities; the portable gas barbecue is not only the best alternative but also, an excellent substitute with regard to the existing local skewers.
