  • Publication number: 20250098897
    Abstract: Provided in the present application is a barbecue cylinder. The barbecue cylinder includes a cylinder, and an end cover and a handle which are connected to the cylinder, where an accommodating cavity is formed at the back of the cylinder and is configured to place food; an opening is formed at one end of the cylinder; the end cover is configured to cover the opening; and at least a part of the end cover is detachably connected to the cylinder, so that the end cover can be opened or closed relative to the cylinder. A user needs to open the end cover to put or take food during barbecue, since the opening is away from a heated main body portion of the cylinder, the temperature at the end cover is relatively low, thereby reducing the risk of scalding the user.
