Title: Most expensive BBQ in world is gold, worth Â£100k, and stressful to clean
Post by: bijou on June 01, 2011, 12:22:29 PM: With forecasters predicting a heatwave is set to hit the UK this weekend, more than a few people will be giving their BBQ a quick spring clean.

But none of the grills are likely to be as extravagant as one produced by BeefEater Barbecues, which is plated in 24-carat gold and will set you back Â£100,000.

Everything but the cooking plates on the hand-built BBQ is covered in the precious metal, making users feel like they have a Midas touch.

Features of the specially-adapted Signature Series 6 Burner SL400 include a wok burner, roasting hood and warming rack â€“ as well as a less-than-subtle gold glow.

Summing up the potential customers for its gold creation, BeefEater Barbecues said the grill was meant for people who 'want to make a statement with their barbecue and have the money to burn'.

I am not kidding.

With that kinda terminology going around, I can forgive them the misuse of BBQ. :-)

Do you know why televisions aren't manufactured in England? Because they haven't figured out how to make them leak oil. (shamelessly stolen from a motorcycle forum).

BeefEater is an Australian company, you might want to go to another page in your big book of national stereotypes. :-)
