If the real intent was just to get geometric grill patterns then they should design JUST the grate because the rest of their design makes little sense to someone who actually grills. The lid is essential in grilling. This one is basically unusable. NO control of air flow, which is crucial. That grate would be a pain in the a$% to clean after using it more than once... That all being said, it's definitely... handsome. HONESTLY.

That all being said, it’s definitely… handsome.

All of the above issues as mentioned, plus: is powder coating the ideal finish for the inside of a bbq bowl? Beautiful object, don't agree at all with the application however.

The traditional domed barbecue lid is used to trap in some of the smoke, moisture, and flavour - what is that acajou wood lid supposed to do? It's as flat as a pancake. Being suitable for a small outdoor space isn't really a unique selling point - a disposable barbecue is compact, and you don't have it lying around taking up space afterwards. How would that acajou wood age? What happens if it's left out in the rain (as I'm sure everyone is familiar with). And yes, I know it's designed in sunny Barcelona, but it's still an important factor to consider. Anyway, it's pretty - that's all that really matters. Right? So over-designed.
