Bucket in general

Of the bucketwas and is a simple yet versatile invention of man. At that time it was mostly made of leather or wood, whereas today it is made of plastic or metal. Predominantly, the bucket comes as a means of transport in use, usually water (liquids in general) or bulk. Conveniently, each bucket has a handle to facilitate transportation.

The term bucket comes from the Middle High German „e (i) mber“ / „eimpar“, which in turn is derived from the Latin word „amphora“ and translated means „Henkelkrug“.
Already in the 6th century BC buckets were used, which were probably used for cult purposes. The „first“ buckets were mainly made of bronze or other metal, in the former Roman Empire also made of brass. The Roman buckets were used for wine and continued to be distributed in Europe by the Romans‘ great trading business, where they were used, among other things, as grave goods or urns. For everyday purposes, however, wooden buckets with metal fittings were also used in ancient Rome. This form remained an integral part of the transport in the Middle Ages. In the 18th century it was introduced that every household had to have a fire bucket filled with water in the event of a fire. This order came from the Count Palatine Charles IV and was strictly handled.

Today, the bucket has developed into many different variants and has found a versatile use: Trashcan, Sand pail, transport and storage equipment, planters, fire pails, Pütz and Grill bucket ,

Use and safety instructions

Of the Grill bucket is a bucket converted into a barbecue. Below it stands on small legs and has few holes for ventilation. Above is a rust set on it. The use is the same as with the grill, only that in advance the hot coal is ignited in a separate tub and only in the white state in the Grill bucket is transferred.

When using the grill bin, some important safety instructions must be observed, as it can often lead to fires or injuries if used incorrectly. So the fire danger is very high. Of the Grill bucket becomes very hot during use of hot coal itself. Therefore, it should always be placed in a location where the risk of fire is low, for example on stone and open areas, not in the forest or on loose grass or leaves. A bucket of water or a fire extinguisher must always be available in case a fire should happen. The distance to easily flammable or heat-sensitive areas should be at least 1 meter. In addition, pay attention to the capacity of the coal that it does not become too much, and only pour out when it has burnt out and completely cooled. During grilling, it is recommended to use suitable grilling gloves to prevent possible burns. Since sparks can also come out of the grill bucket, no quick-inflammatory clothing should be worn. The coal should never be lit in the cricket bucket, not even afterwards, as possible flames can no longer be controlled.

Recommended barbecue buckets

First, the material is most important. It must not contain plastic or generally contain chemical components that could release toxic particles by heating the coal. The best is steel, metal or similar. However, since these are heat-conducting, the grill timer is very hot and can cause significant burns when touched. The legs of the grill bucket must be stable and sturdy, must neither bend nor buckle at the weight of the coal. It’s best to test in advance with cold coal by simply pouring it into the bucket. If the bucket keeps the weight out and can not be knocked over easily, it is robust enough and therefore usable.
It is therefore advisable not to buy cheap products and to better invest in modern grill buckets.
