Fire & Steel have created a unique line of artistically designed charcoal grills, perfect for that backyard barbecue. Each DesignerGrill from Fire & Steel is suspended, a design I've never before seen on a BBQ. These are some of the most elegant looking grills around and they're priced as such. Still, when you consider how you're getting a work of art *and* a grill for $2000, it doesn't seem like such a bad deal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Artistic Grilling:** Opportunity for designers to create luxury and unique charcoal grills that are not only functional but also showcase high-end artistry. - **Suspended Bbqs:** Opportunity to create innovative and visually appealing barbecue designs that can be suspended instead of the traditional stationary grills. - **Functional Art:** Opportunity to create practical products that can double as artistic displays, targeting consumers who value aesthetic appeal and uniqueness. ### Where This Applies - **Outdoor Living:** Opportunity for the outdoor living industry to expand its product offerings to include luxury and unique grilling designs that add a touch of artistry to any backyard. - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for home decor companies to expand their product offerings to include functional art pieces like suspended BBQs, which can serve as statement pieces in outdoor spaces. - **Luxury Goods:** Opportunity for luxury goods companies to create high-end charcoal grills that not only offer functionality but also showcase artistic craftsmanship and design innovation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cooking-Friendly Outdoor Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/regg-surprise.md) - [Connected Backyard Charcoal Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-charcoal-grill.md) - [Grill-Topped Portable Firepits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-firepit.md) - [Old-Fashioned Toolbox Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-blaze-charcoal-grill.md) - [Smart Broiler Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summit-fs38-e.md) - [High-End Flattop Barbecues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traeger-flatrock-grill.md) - [Suitcase-Style Outdoor Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b2q-kit.md) - [Streetwear-Branded Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supreme-grill.md) - [Multilayer Portable Charcoal Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbeall-portable-charcoal-grill.md)
