Abstract
A lifter for lifting and manipulating a grill over a heat source such as a barbeque has a hooked portion shaped to pass between adjacent parallel bars of the grill and upon rotating the lifter, to locate under one of the adjacent bars with ends of the hooked portion spaced along this bar. A reaction element is spaced from the hooked portion for engagement with at least one further bar spaced from the adjacent bars; and a handle, the hooked portion and the reaction element are coupled in a fixed relationship relative to one another so that the lifter can be used to move the grill while maintaining the grill in a generally horizontal position with the reaction element in engagement with the further bar or bars, and to lift the grill with the grill hanging freely from the lifter.
