The Firebird Grill (formerly Pot-de-Feu) is hand-cut by artist John T. Unger from scrap 20 lb propane tanks. Each is an unique work of art, never to be exactly repeated. Great Green Goods has called the Firebird Grill “the eco-friendly, hip and happening wedding present of 2006."
The Firebird is a great way to turn cooking into a fun and sociable event— place the grill at the center of an outdoor table and gather friends for an evening of conversation and tasty treats.
Combining elements of Mongolian barbeque, tapas and fondue, the Firebird is perfect for grilling kebabs, satay, veggies, and is well suited for sausage and burgers. For best results, cut food into bite-size pieces and arrange on stainless steel skewers. Use tongs to turn the skewers for even cooking.
For hors d'oeuvres or snacks, it's easy to share one grill among 3-4 people. For a dramatic dinner party, consider ordering several grills so that everyone can have their own. Side dishes of rice, couscous or other grains round out the meal. The Firebird grill encourages leisurely, healthful dining at a relaxed pace.

Safety tips: Please note that the grill does get hot when used for charcoal fires and that the points of the flames are sharp. When using the Firebird as a tabletop grill, set a paving stone or other protective material under the grill. The inside of the grill can be rinsed with a garden hose or cleaned with a long handled wire brush. Allow grill to cool before cleaning. Wear leather gloves when cleaning with a brush. |
