Lighting A Grill With Liquid Oxygen Is The Opposite Of Safe

Don’t try this at home: In this video, crazyperson Theo grey lights a grill with the help of some liquid oxygen. Suffice to say it’s a bit of overkill, but just the kind of overkill we like. [Instructables via PopSci]

Wall-Mounted Grill Saves Space, Won’t Burn House Down

Sean Fallon — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 21:00:00 +0000

If you have a small deck, porch or patio, the Plek 66 offers charcoal grilling in a compact wall-mounted unit.

By the looks of things, you don’t have a whole lot of surface area to cook—but the fact that the storage compartment below can hold around 100 pounds of ashes before cleaning is a big plus. There ialso a storage compartment for your utensils and the whole thing folds up into a lean box shape for additional space saving. And, most importantly, they also note that you can heat things up to 1,112 degrees Fahrenheit without reducing your home to a pile of smoldering rubble. No word on pricing unfortunately, but I wouldn’t go trading in the Foreman just yet if you are on a budget. [Rocal via Appliancist via DVICE]

The Meatball Grill Basket Changes Everything

When was the last time you visited Willams-Sonoma? Yeah, they’re expensive, but no one else is offering a product to grill your meatballs. Besides, sometimes they have food samples in there.

Indeed, meatball subs and spaghetti can now enjoy that smokey grilled flavour we all know and love with this innovative basket. It keeps your balls safe and secure while being cooked over the flames. If you think about it, there is probably a bunch of other stuff you could grill in one of these things as well. [Williams-Sonoma via Unclutterer]

Intimidate Neighbours And Cook Their Food With Uber Manly Imperial Grill XL

Jack Loftus — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 15:00:00 +0000

Time to talk grills. What better place to start than the Imperial Grill, which is held together by pure testosterone?

Housed within this stainless steel propane-devouring beast are two separate ovens and two cooking surfaces that erupt with up to 60,000 BTUs. The looks are pretty pedestrian (where is Leonidas, screaming with fury on the facade?), but the sound of all those burners charring the food inside will probably make up for that minor quibble. Hope your neighbours like a little side of “wet their pants” with their steak.

The rig costs $US1,800, which is also the amount of money you’ll need to keep this thing running all the way through spring and summer. Keep an extra gas tank or ten handy. [Born Rich]

Weenie Wing Commander Fires Meat Torpedoes

Mark Wilson — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 15:30:00 +0000

While I’ve always preferred encapsulating my hot dogs in a black crust of carcinogens prior to ingestion, there are others of you who prefer a slow roasted wiener…preferably involving a spaceship in some way.

From the same brilliant creators of the Roast My Weenie, the Weenie Wing Commander exploits the classic X-wing schematic to support a double armament of meat tubes. Simple. Effective. And an excellent way to tempt little ones into touching a fiery-hot grill. $US20. [Weenie Wing Commander via Nerd Approved]

The Stone Grill Concept: Foodie Addiction Taken Just Far Enough

Mark Wilson — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 23:00:00 +0000

While there’s nothing inherently flawed with grills as they are now, if you’ve ever seared meat on a hot stone, you’ve discovered there’s more to meat than charcoal and propane.

The Pebbles Grill concept is sort of like a George Foreman reinterpreted with a net of blazing-hot rocks. Electric elements heat a series of “pebbles” to deliciously dangerous levels—as indicated by warning lights—before you fold the mesh-like grill over your food. We’re betting that the resulting dish would come out polka dotted with scorch marks. But I for one have never turned down a piece of food that resembled a 1990s fashion staple. [Yanko Design]
