The request for this word was: "the word for a barbecue roast, a grid usually made of steel, underneath which one makes fire to burn meat on top. Expanded from this: what is the term for any grid that you would use on a window, for instance to avoid birds or even intruders to enter the building?" [qepHom 2023)

mo'		cage (n) 
bIghHa' 	jail (n)
pat 		system,  grid (n)

  -  "It's the fireplace, the place in your home where you cook the food." Regarding usage for modern stoves, Okrand said "Now you might use it for that, but that was not the original meaning. The original meaning is like a stone thing where you make a fire." - {qerjIqDaq nIm vItujmoH} "I heat up the milk on the stove". is okay to say: "Now you can, but that's not the original meaning." [addition: it can also be used for a fire place like on the barbecue.] (MO's qepHom 2018 Video Interview)

meQ 		burn (be on fire) (v)

TREK NOTES:
KURN: 	     How long has the bird been dead? It appears to have been lying
                     in the sun for quite some time.
LAFORGE:  It's not dead, it's been replicated. You do understand that we 
                     cook most of our foods.
KURN:        Ah, yes. I was told to prepare for that. I shall try some of your
                     burnt replicated bird meat.  [TNG "Sins of the Father"]
