In order to showcase its talent for building novelty appliances, Dutch custom appliance-maker 'Kemkers speciaalbouw' created an impressively accurate Star Wars-themed Darth Vader stove.
The hooded black wood-burning stove looks terrifying, but would probably make a mean pizza. The Darth Vader stove is being raffled off on the Kemkers speciaalbouw Facebook page. Hopeful owners need only like and share the post for a chance to win the intergalactic cooking device. The menacing black stove joins other novelty appliances in the Kemkers speciaalbouw repertoire, like a hilarious stove shaped like one of the Minions from Despicable Me. The company's motto is "You dream it. We build it," so presumably a customer could request a My Little Pony or Spongebob Squarepants stove and have it custom-made, if that was a big dream of theirs.
