It is a full-range barbecue modeled after a Smith & Wesson Model 500 revolver. Impressively created by Industrial Mechanics III welding students at Sandpoint High School in Sandpoint, Idaho, it stretches 15 feet long and is made out of materials donated by Wrenco Arms, a local gun shop. Conceived by Stefan Harlicker and his father Doug, one of the owners of the firearms retailer, the Smoking Gun Grill will be used as a promotional tool for Wrenco Arms. Sitting outside of the Lake Street shop, the Smoking Gun Grill will certainly draw eyes and potential customers. A unique barbecue, to say the least, this creation is sure to inspire companies to manufacture themed barbecues. The Smoking Gun Grill shows that there could be a market for them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Themed Barbecues:** Opportunity to innovate and manufacture barbecues inspired by different themes. - **Promotional Tools:** Opportunity to create unique and attention-grabbing promotional tools for businesses. - **Market for Unique Barbecues:** Opportunity to tap into a niche market for unique and unconventional barbecues. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Cooking:** Opportunity for the outdoor cooking industry to develop and market themed barbecues. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Opportunity for marketing and advertising companies to create eye-catching promotional tools. - **Home and Garden:** Opportunity for the home and garden industry to cater to customers seeking unique barbecues. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smartphone-Connected Outdoor Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-pellet-barbecue-grill.md) - [Old-Fashioned Toolbox Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-blaze-charcoal-grill.md) - [Chic Exterior Electric Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smeg-builtin-electric-bbq-grill.md) - [Hybrid Outdoor Smokers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asmoke-skylights-wood-pellet.md) - [Ultra-Modern Pellet Grill Companies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grill-company.md) - [Suitcase-Style Outdoor Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b2q-kit.md) - [High-Heat Dual-Mode Pellet Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recteq-xfire-pro.md) - [Air-Circulating Outdoor Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninja-woodfire-outdoor-grill.md) - [Connected Compact Outdoor Smokers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weber-smoque-pellet-smoker.md)
