Abstract

The need to solve the problem associated with the traditional method of
grilling food necessitated the design and fabrication of a barbecue
machine, using locally sourced materials in Nigeria. Demand for barbecue
food (meat, fish and vegetable) has been in the increase; and there is need
to design modern equipment to achieve this purpose. The methodology
centres on fuel analysis and design calculation from which dimensions
and materials for construction are selected. Solid charcoal was chosen as
the fuel for the barbecue machine. The barbecue machine is compact,
does not produce smoke yield faster grilling process, and the process is
hygienic. The barbecue machine has a maximum temperature of 3030c.
The machine is tested using cat fish and the grilling is found to be excellent.
The machine cost N 40, 000.00 to be produced.
