Dragon BBQ Grills
Not only are the Dragon steel sculptures impressive on their own, they are also fully functioning barbeques.
Artist Ed McBride has created two welded steel dragon barbecues, with a third in the works. The first in the series was sold for $65,000 at the Safari Club International 33rd Annual Hunters' Convention. The second in the series is currently up for sale at $90,000 and will be the biggest of the three.
The second barbecue in this series will be a towering 9 feet in height with a 10 feet wide wingspan. A theatrical touch was added in that propane powered flames will erupt from between the dragon's teeth. Also, a small dragon is used to heat a dutch cooking oven with its "dragon breath." It's first, and maybe only, showing will be at the SCI convention in Reno, Nevada in January
The third in the series will be the smallest of the three, costing $40,000. It will be 6 feet in height and length, and is scheduled to be completed in late 2007.
