Pimp my BBQ

Barbie loving Aussies have made a flaming expensive cooking machine - a golden-grilled £100,000 barbecue. The glittering BBQ - which is gold plated all over - is the only one of its kind in the world.

Aussie makers Beefeater created the specially commissioned barbecue as part of a 'World's Finest' exhibition at Birmingham's NEC. The company are being included in a special 'World's Finest' book celebrating the most flash brands around the world like Rolex, Luis Vuitton, De Beers Diamonds and Maserati cars.

The fully-functional bling barbie has all the same parts as regular stainless steel outdoor cookers, and with features like a quartz start ignition technology system and vaporiser grid, makers Beefeater claim it has specs to make rocket-makers NASA jealous.

It also includes six high output burners, a wok burner, a roasting hood with viewing window, warming rack and reflector system. Alan Chater, Beefeater European Sales Manager, said: "We decided to do something to celebrate being part of the 'World's Finest' event, so we commissioned the gold-plated barbecue.
