The burner shields 77 can be removed from the burners 68 and washed in the dishwasher or by hand. The technical gas unit 62 can be dismantled from the frame 38 (if necessary) for cleaning and/or maintenance. The left cooking fat collection drawer 24 and the right cooking fat collection drawer 26 can be removed from the rack and washed in the dishwasher or by hand.

It goes without saying that the present application is not limited to the single embodiment described above by way of example, on the contrary it embraces all the variant embodiments.

In a variant embodiment the barbecue 2 is not a gas barbecue. Barbecue 2 can be an electric barbecue. The technical gas unit 62 can be replaced by an electrical technical unit comprising electrical resistors in place of the burners 68 and electricity regulation buttons in place of the gas regulation button 70 of the burners 68.

In a variant embodiment, the barbecue 2 does not include the trolley 4. The barbecue 2 can be separate from the trolley 4. The barbecue 2 can be mounted on the trolley 4 and alternately dismantled from the trolley 4. Thus, when the barbecue 2 is defective, barbecue 2 can be replaced while trolley 4 can be kept or vice versa. Maintenance can thus be carried out more easily and at a lower cost for the user. The barbecue 2 can also be configured to be locked on the carriage 4 and alternately locked on the carriage 4. Thus, the risk of accidental dismantling of the barbecue 2 from the carriage 4 in the use configuration or in the cleaning configuration is reduced.
