Barbecue in style

Traeger Pellet BBQ Pig Lil Pig Now that summer is on the way, it's time to start planning all the fantastic outdoor parties you'll throw this season. In order to feed your fabulous guests without rushing off into the house every five minutes, you may want to consider buying a grill.

Before you go crazy and get the first thing that'll cook a hot dog, remember that there are a number of things to consider. For instance, which is better -- gas or charcoal? How much cooking area do you need? What about rotisserie burners, or side burners, or infrared burners? And just what in the hell is a BTU?

The list is almost endless, but -- while discussing the necessity of these features will undoubtedly be useful in determining how much you're willing to pay -- what most people don't consider (but should), is how it looks.

Not to say this pink piggy is going to make the burgers better, but it'll certainly make for better conversation at your next backyard get-together. And sure, if you get a massive outdoor cooking machine with unbridled power (no matter what it looks like), you'll undoubtedly receive compliments and firm slaps on the back from your buddies in the neighborhood. That's nice and all, but if you're into throwing really good parties, the Lil' Pig is your ticket.

For a mere $1599, you'll get 418 square inches of cooking surface, an internal hopper, a stainless steel door handle, a multi-position digital thermostat control, and a fine-looking piece of yard art.

Let the barbecue begin!

Oh, my. Just the thing to stick in the back yard of your tacky McMansion!

I'd rather cook out on my $20 charcoal blue-light special and use the rest of the money for, say, food?

EWE! When I clicked on the link and saw the "Lil' Pig" I couldn't help but thinking WHAT were THEY thinking (the people who made it)????!!!! It is SOOO tacky!!! YUCK! For that kind of money you would expect it to be solid gold! lol I agree with the first couple of posts, save your money and use it for food!

If u go to their website they also have a longhorn steer, just as tacky , but not pink lol I cant imagine paying the price for that when I wouldnt be able to stand to look at it, much less eat while it sits on my patio.

wow that is the most hideious thing i have ever seen!! what makes anyone think a woman or anyone for that matter would want to cook on that..... thing??? Im guessing it would have to be a man who designed that thing.... no self respecting woman how knows how to grill would be caught dead using that, nor would she come up with such a stupid idea! If i were to spend that kind of money on a grill.... it will be something that actually is stylish... how about taking a regular grill.... and maybe making it a few inches lower to accomadate women... Thats a much better idea than an ugly grill...

oh that thing is just wrong on so many levels... what girl in her right mind would want that tasteless hunk of metal sitting in her backyard. I would rather spend my money on a real grill.... this is definetly not "girl's grill" I think only men would find this appealing...
although im a little curious... would it be wrong to grill a steak on a grill shaped like a pig?

Disregard the pink piggy if you don't like it, this company makes THE BEST BBQ's around. We have owned one for over 10 years and the flavor that you get from this wood pellet smoker is out of this world. Gas just can't compare! They also make classic-styled BBQ's - along with fantastic rubs and sauces, too!

I'm TOTALLY insulted & feel that my intellect as well as senses have been criminally assaulted! Do they think we are idiots, or have such low IQ...granted we have low taste (because we like men...LOL), but that's as far we're willing to take our "lowly taste senses"; & I do draw the line at the assumption that we will like, or need this type of grill. Sheesh!
