The unique BBQ is meant to integrate into its boulder strewn landscape. The design exercise of resourcing, composing and siting the granite base was led by Todd Richardson.
A Perfect Grill for Gatherings
The base cradles a pair of beer kegs that have been sliced and diced into a grill. The keg’s rework was a collaboration with blacksmith Tim Greene. Features include a split and hinged lid, removable racks, adjustable vents, and heat-dissipating handles. The fuel is charcoal. The Firebox lining is soapstone, slotted for racks.
The Results
The final BBQ is a unique, custom-built piece that blends perfectly into the boulder-strewn landscape. The combination of granite, stainless steel, and soapstone results in a durable and functional grill that is as much a work of art as it is a cooking tool, providing a striking yet practical outdoor feature.
