The BabyQ design by Erik Lieberenz is “brat friendly.” Perfect for the times when grilling a brat hits you but you don’t want to lug out the massive party griller. It actually looks like four brats would fit just fine on the 9 x 6 inch (22 x 17 cm) grill top.

The grill was actually designed for light eaters, or for bachelor dining.

Made from stainless steel, the halves nest together to reduce storage area. It also has a little baggie to store and carry the briquets included.
