Fuego 01: Ultimate Design Grill - Josh Spear, Trendspotting

The Fuego 01 is the epitome of Father's Day gifts for the Dad who loves to grill, which I guess is pretty much all Dad's. Designed by former head of industrial design at Apple, and now Pentagram partner, the Fuego 01 has been crafted to meet every aspect of today's griller with convenience and style. The Quick-Change Drawer System allows you to change the heat source from coal to infrared, to gas by simply replacing the side drawer. Covered with shining Stainless steel, a counter top flanked with beautiful teak wood, and all the custom cooking electronics you could imagine, this grill is truly a piece of art and although it may not make it into MOMA's permanent collection, like many of Brunner's other designs, it will definitely be the centerpiece of your Dad's backyard! A barbecue designed by a former industrial designer for Apple? Our top pick for sure!

According to business plan the original price ranged from USD 2.000 for the standard version to USD 2.500 for the premium version. Plus USD 450 for accessories.
If they’ll sell it above it’s just because they want an extra-profit.
But believe me, it’s innovative only in the design and looking, inside it’s just ordinary, and the delay in launching it (should have been distributed in North America already past May) is due to 2 causes: technical problems (bad cooking) and conflict among shareholders (Siow & Brunner against Italians), which makes the Fuego business quite risky and “temporary”.
The Fuego is manufactured in Italy and is planned to move to China or Mexico, which means poor quality.

I guess we all hate things when we can’t afford them such as Deckard, and by the way, the reason they are planning to move to Mexico is simple, it’s way more cheaper to manufacture on these countries because of the hand work, nothing to do with the excellent product quality.
