All aboard! Hey there. How’re you faring? Got your BBQ
all cleaned, tested and fired up for the summer season? Fill your mug and
wrangle a virtual treat or two onto your plate to munch on while I tell you about one
absolutely ‘loco’ BBQ...
Locomotive-shaped grills are not exactly unheard of, but
a team of Russian metal workers have taken it upon themselves to set a new
standard by building a unique and awesome-looking Steampunk locomotive barbecue
grill.
This practical work of art was created by a group of
metal workers from the village of Deulina, near the city of Ryazan, in Russia,
who specialize in interior, exterior and landscape design. The one-of-a-kind
Steampunk grill was apparently forged from scrap automobile, motorcycle and
train parts, and is currently installed on a private property where very few
have the privilege to see it in person.
Luckily for the rest of us, the builders took a set of
photos for a Moscow exhibition-competition, since their locomotive was too
heavy to transport. The grill was apparently built in 2009, but the pics only
recently surfaced on a series of Western sites and forums. The little
information available on the Steampunk locomotive grill is in Russian, and
although Google Translate does a decent job of revealing the essential, there
are few paragraphs that don’t make much sense.
Here is what I was able to make out: the locomotive has
three work bays – two 60-cm-long grilling pits in the main body and a trailer
that acts as a stove. The first compartment is designed for barbecuing
kebabs and can accommodate up to twenty skewers, while the second one is
equipped with a rotating spit for roasting chicken and large pieces of meat.
Some of the locomotive parts are actually functional, like the large
brass wheel in the cabin that rotates the spit.
Yee haw! Bring on your steaks, chops, burgers, weenies, ribs,
chicken, kebabs, and anything else that will fit on the grill!
See ya, eh!
