There’s still meat in him, I can feel it… UK-based Burned by Design has been making Vader wood burners for a while now, but they have finally added a grill to the Sith lord, so you can barbecue with the Dark Side of the Force.
This beautiful wood burner/grill is handmade from a propane gas cylinder. It has a hinged BBQ lid, stainless steel mesh behind the eyes, a two level charcoal grill, with a swing-out cooking surface. About the only thing it doesn’t do is open up to reveal Anakin’s scorched skin, or lack thereof.
It will cost you £399 (~$508 USD) plus shipping – which could be quite a bit from the UK. Check out the Burned By Design website or Facebook page to request one.
