Hybrid Party Chests

Grill or Set a Chilling Ice Box with the Funston Fire-Pit/Ice-Chest

— June 21, 2011 — Lifestyle
Barbecue season is among us and I'm sure most are looking for grills and coolers to get the party started. Why buy separately when you can have them as one with the Funston Fire-Pit/Ice-Chest?

With the Funston Fire-Pit/Ice-Chest, you're getting the best of both worlds in a party situation. On one side you can start a fire and warm up or even possibly put a grill on it to start making some food. Already have a BBQ grill? Then flip it on the other side, fill it with ice and use it as a cooler to put a couple of cold beers in. There's even a bottle opener on the side in case you don't have one! This is the ultimate party package that'll do its job no matter what you choose to do with it.
