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.

Hi Jane,

I'm totally happy to send one to Vancouver. I'll see what the shipping charges would be and email you to let you know.

Larger items that ship via freight can be sent to Canada at no extra charge, but items that ship via UPS or USPS are generally a bit more expensive when going to Canada.

Very cool fire bowls. Have you ever done one that is really big, like 45" or larger?

Hi Christian,

Yes, I've done a number of 48 inch and 51 inch firebowls, some of which you can see on my Flickr account:

I only get to do a couple a year because the oversize tanks are very hard to come by.
