Most expensive BBQ in world is gold, worth £100k, and stressful to clean
« 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 £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 – 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'.

Point well made -- but you gotta give the Brits a break. To them, the name of a well-known pudding is "spotted dick."

I am not kidding.

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

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
