       [0001]    The invention relates to a grill heating apparatus preventing the problems arising from related art during brazier and barbecue. 
         [0002]    The invention particularly relates to less cost, environment/friendly, high efficient grill heating apparatus which can be used in open areas such as gardens and terraces as well as for cooking units specially designed for restaurants by means of locating in the stoves or cooking units, without need for flammable liquid and to blowing. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE RELATED ART 
       [0003]    Today great amount of brazier coal, to burn the coal flammable fluid such as thinner, bushes, papers, wood etc. are needed to have barbeque. First of all, papers, bushes and small size wood are located into the body of the grill. Then, they are burned by help of a lighter, match etc. Brazier coal is located on the burned papers, bushes, wood etc. A long time is required for obtaining ember form of brazier coal. In order to burn and help ember of the coal one person has to blow it continuously, which causes loss of time and great amount of effort by the person. 
         [0004]    Since blowing required for ember of the coal takes long time, more environment hazard gases such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide gases are caused. 
         [0005]    In conclusion, in order to eliminate the above mentioned problems and disadvantages it is needed to develop less cost, environment/friendly, high efficient grill heating apparatus which can be used in open areas such as gardens and terraces as well as for cooking units specially designed for restaurants by means of locating in the stoves or cooking units, without need for flammable liquid and blowing and thus it has been necessary to make a development in the related art. 
       PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION 
       [0006]    From the known status of the related art, the purpose of the invention is to develop a less cost, environment/friendly, high efficient grill heating apparatus which can be used in open areas such as gardens and terraces as well as for cooking units specially designed for restaurants by means of locating in the stoves or cooking units, without need for flammable liquid and blowing. 
         [0007]    Another purpose of the invention is to develop a heating apparatus where start of burning is easy without need for flammable fluid and blowing. 
         [0008]    Another purpose of the invention is to help the coal become ember within 3-5 minutes from burning process by help of provided air circulation. When compared to conventional braziers, obtaining ember is considerably high. 
         [0009]    Another purpose of the invention is to provide, an environment-friendly heating apparatus as it uses less brazier coal and wood which causes environmental pollution when burned. Thus, emission of hazardous gasses such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide is reduced. 
         [0010]    A further purpose of the invention is to prevent use of flammable fluids and blowing during cooking and thus prevent adverse impacts of hazardous gasses on the food so as to provide healthy cooking.
