The invention discloses an air blower for barbecuing. The air blower structurally comprises a hand-cranking rod, an air funnel, a base, a base cushion, a hand-cranking rod protection sleeve and an airblowing device. One end of the hand-cranking rod penetrates through the hand-cranking rod protection sleeve in threaded connection with the upper end of the air blowing device to be movably connectedwith the air blowing device, the base cushion is welded to the middle of the air blowing device and is in threaded connection with the base, and the air funnel is in threaded connection with the lower end of the air blowing device. By means of mutual combination of the components, the air blowing work process of equipment is achieved, the base and the air funnel of the air blower are both detachable, carrying is convenient, manual air blowing can be carried out for use at any time, the air blowing capacity can be better controlled in the barbecuing process, food is prevented from being burnedin the barbecuing process, use and carrying are convenient, practicability is high, pure mechanical transmission is achieved, and labor is saved.
