Abstract: A portable barrier blocks smoke, heat, and grease spatter from coming into contact with an upper body of one who is grilling. The portable barrier includes a vertically adjustable transparent barrier arranged between two vertical risers. At least an upper portion of each vertical riser includes a C-shaped cross-section that accepts opposite ends of the transparent barrier. An adjustable opening is arranged beneath the transparent barrier and allows access to a grilling surface. A support member couples a lower portion of the vertical risers together. A base includes wheels or casters for ease in repositioning the portable barrier. The base may include a decorative panel extending between the lower region of the vertical risers which includes the base to the upper region to below the adjustable opening.
