That's no moon, that's the Death Star Grill!


Geekologie Reader Bryan, inspired by the post on rejected Star Wars products, went and made a Death Star Grill. And I, for one, would slap my Rebel meat on it.

I started with two Weber grills and used the bottom portions because they were fairly spherical. I welded up the stand and fabricated the vent systems (there is a vent on the bottom also). The inside is painted in barbecue paint so it is safe to cook with. The outside is painted in engine enamel so it should be good to 500 degrees. I know it isn't perfect but it was a fun project. The grill is now up on eBay.com so check it out if you'd like your very own Death Star Grill!

Bidding starts at $50, and the grill is capable of cooking both Endor and dinner. *pew pew* Take that, tauntaun chops!


I'm disappointing looking

Yeah, that is disappointing. I guess it's beyond the abilities of the garage fabricator to mold good details on a steel hemisphere that's suitable for cooking.

Still, the laser dish as vent is an excellent improvement.
