It Is Cheering That The Outflow Of Insane Ideas Hasn’t Yet Smashed

I find that someone has built a combined hot tub and barbeque. I’m really not kidding. It’s called a Dutch Tub, presumably because it’s orange. It’s very ingenious, it has a pipe that lead out top and bottom and which coils round a wood burning fire pit. This means that when you fill the tub, the water flows into the pipe and when the fire is lit, the water warms up which then runs up the pipe, into the tub and the unheated water at the bottom flows into the pipe, is warmed by the fire etc. Ingenious yes, but it also sounds a tad dangerous since there’s not much to prevent the water constantly heating to the point where it’ll only be good for cooking the vegetables to accompany the meat you can cook on the grill that sits over the pipe. All this for about 3000!

It makes you marvel at what else you can do with a bbq? Well, wonder no longer for I will tell you. There is a ‘carry and go’ briefcase that unfolds to provide barbeque in a very clever way and best of all is not at all costly. It looks fabulous for camping or a day at the beach.

Speaking of camping, the issue of not being permitted to use a barbeque at the campsite is solved as someone has made a solar grill that incorporates a flexible mirror to focus sunlight onto the bbq bowl to heat it up and cook the food without using a fire at all! Hurray! I can see a couple of issues here though, ie you can only use it in high summer and you need to have a completely sunny day and there doesn’t seem to be any idea of how long it needs to cook a chicken leg for instance. I think this is filed into the ‘nice idea but fundamentally useless’ category.

Other ideas include a car exhaust heated bbq. Guarantees are given that the fumes don’t in any way come into contact with the food but are utilised to warm the grill and cook a burger on the move. It doesn’t seem very good for a family outing.

There’s window box shaped charcoal grills for cooking on a balcony where there isn’t a lot of space for a more normally sized barbeque which would be useful in modern apartment blocks.

Then there is one that sits the bbq above a speaker into which you can plug your MP3 player to provide a complete party entertainment station.

But my total favourite, one that the inventor had a really had a great night out beforehand when they dreamt upthought of this one, is a floating restaurant table called a “bbq Donut”. This is inspired. It is a boat with a little electric motor, round as you would gather from the name, with an umbrella over the top and seating for around 10 people around a table which itself surrounds a barbeque pit. It’s rather like a tapenyaki arrangement on water. Cost-wise it is up to 23500. This is really not something for the family unless that family has a very big lake or river at the bottom of the garden, but it appears to be positioned as an off the shelf business opportunity for a waterside company.

The reports don’t whether it plays “Smoke On The Water” on a loop, but if it doesn’t then I believe they’re missing a trick.
