What makes this grill great is that it looks exactly like an oversized sawed-off shotgun and is as functional as it is fun. The Sawed-Off Shotgun BBQ was created by Randy McKnight, owner and proprietor of the [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/create-a-wedding-registry) store Fire Sculpture Art. Mr. McKnight is no stranger to gun grills, having created many revolver-inspired grills. While the Sawed-Off Shotgun BBQ may look like a gun a cowboy would sport, a closer inspection reveals that this grill is as gangster as they come. A five-gallon fuel tank is in the grip and the grill also has beach-friendly wheels. All of this greatness comes at a price, however. The [grill sells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-huntsman-kettle-kamado) for $9,550 and only one is available. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Gun-inspired Grills:** There is a trend towards grills that are inspired by guns, creating opportunities for businesses to innovate in this area. - **Functional Outdoor Decor:** The BBQ market is moving towards functional outdoor decor, allowing businesses in this industry to create products that are both practical and visually appealing. - **High-end Bbqs:** The market for high-end, unique BBQs is growing, offering opportunities for businesses to create more expensive and original grills. ### Who This Affects Most - **BBQ Manufacturing:** As demand for unique and high-end BBQs increases, there are opportunities for manufacturers to design and produce innovative grills. - **Outdoor Decor:** The trend towards functional outdoor decor provides opportunities for businesses to create unique pieces that also serve a purpose, like the Sawed-Off Shotgun BBQ. - **Luxury Goods:** As the market for high-end BBQs grows, businesses in the luxury goods industry can capitalize on this trend by creating expensive and unique grills for affluent customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wood-Fired Griddle Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recteq-smokestone-600.md) - [Suitcase-Style Outdoor Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b2q-kit.md) - [Grill-Topped Portable Firepits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-firepit.md) - [High-End Flattop Barbecues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traeger-flatrock-grill.md) - [Streetwear-Branded Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supreme-grill.md) - [Smartphone-Connected Outdoor Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-pellet-barbecue-grill.md) - [Slender Off-Grid Barbecues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weber-traveler-portable-gas-grill.md) - [Pro-Grade Griller Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grill-tools.md) - [Connected Backyard Charcoal Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-charcoal-grill.md)
