All Things Chill

Introducing the Eva Solo Stainless Steel BBQ. Unica Home has them in stock with a detailed summary:

the eva solo barrel grill has been created by people who love barbecuing and design. designed by claus jensen and henrik holbaek, Tools, the ingenious, yet simple design of the eva solo barrel grill features a number of unique solutions to enhance functionality. first and foremost it is – unlike barbecues using enamelled, chrome or nickel-plated parts – made exclusively from stainless steel and will last longer. a portable coal bucket makes it easy to empty ashes, and the flat lid turns the grill into an extra surface on the patio when the grill is not in use. but as even the most enthusiastic of cooks will spend more time looking at the grill than actually using it, it is also important the grill is pleasing to the eye. there is no need to hide this grill away after use. eva solo designed a few accessories: the grill tweezers (1) have to be handled to be believed, there is a stainless steel cooking dome (2) and if you need an extra surface, you can create a table (3) with legs that turn the lid into a tabletop. a durable fabric cover (4) is also available. related products: skewers, spatula & grill starter.

Question. How can a website that sells premium products NOT cap the first letter in a sentence? Are they trying to make a statement or something? First off, I really don’t care if it’s a blog or even a design portfolio, but if they’re going to sell $500+ products, they better do it right.

Grammar aside, the grill is a beautiful thing. And for $560 US, it better be. The grill has a lot of matching accessories with matching price tags to make your grilling experience complete. And by complete I mean more expensive and unnecessary. And by expensive and unnecessary, I mean I want them desperately.

Sadly, I won’t be upgrading my current small time grill anytime soon, but if I had the money… I’d so totally get that life size cutout of Psylocke… oh wait. THE GRILL THE GRILL!!!! LOL. That joke never gets old.

MMMMmmmm… Char grilled telepathy
