Ball of fire
This bright orange barbeque looks like something you might find in
an old Martian movie.
Imagine friends and family (in bellbottoms and tie-dyed t-shirts)
gathered around its dome-topped cover waiting for juicy steaks and
hamburgers. Friends and neighbours were sure to notice if you owned
one these barbeques! In fact, the Ball-B-B-Q gained significant recognition
by winning a Design Canada award!
What's it called?
Playfully dubbed the Ball B-B-Q, it was the first of its kind built
with a double stack of cooking racks and an integrated cover that
rolled smoothly using two black wooden sphere handles. Its unusual
construction was created by William Wiggins for Shepherd Products
in Toronto. The lid is made solely of
spun aluminum and the aluminum body is painted bright orange. |
