Sci-Fi-Inspired Wood Burners

The Dalek Wood Burner from Burned by Design is Cyborg-Like

— May 30, 2019 — Art & Design
The Dalek wood burner has been created by Burned by Design as a science fiction-inspired outdoor BBQ unit that looks straight out of the Doctor Who TV series. Standing 1.2 meters in height and weighing nearly 45 kilograms, the unit was created by Alex Dodson and his team along with help from Premier Engineering Yorkshire Ltd. to give the burner its lifelike appearance. The entire unit is crafted from mild steel that has been fashioned using laser cutting technology and features an array of different features that make it perfect for providing warmth, cooking meals and more.

The Dalek wood burner has been treated with a heatproof lacquer that enables it to withstand the exceeding high temperatures its capable of reaching.
