About the Product
Our Second Chance Treasures are perfect for those who love a great deal without compromising on the charm of Rusty Deer creations. These pieces may be ex-demo items, feature small scratches, minor bends, or other slight imperfections. Rest assured, these flaws do not diminish their visual appeal or overall quality.
Each piece remains a stunning representation of the craftsmanship and beauty Rusty Deer is known for. While they may not meet our standard for perfection, they still bring the same character and uniqueness to your space.
Please note: All sales are final, and seconds are sold as-is.
Introducing the Donkey BBQ/Firebox— based on the flaming success of the Sheep BBQ, we thought, "Let’s up the ante," and thus, the Donkey BBQ was born.
Same great functionality, just with longer ears.
Features:
-
Artistic Design: Let’s be honest, it’s a BBQ shaped like a donkey. What’s not to love? The laser-cut details give it a bit of a rustic vibe, and if you're into quirky garden features, this little guy will fit right in. Not to mention, it’s guaranteed to make your neighbours just a little jealo.
-
Versatile Functionality: Whether you’re cooking up a feast, warming up on a chilly night, or using it as a herb garden when it’s too cold to BBQ, this donkey can do it all. Day or night, summer or winter—it’s got you covered.
-
Durable Construction: Made from corten steel, this donkey is Eeyore tough, weather-resistant, and designed to last longer than any New Year's resolution. The 2mm body and 4mm firebox mean it heats up quickly and cooks your food evenly. Nice, right?
-
Portable and Practical: Handles? Yep, it’s got them. Easy to clean? Of course. You can even swap out the firebox for a planter box if you’re feeling particularly green-thumbed. Plus we've popped in some clever airflow openings to make sure your fire stays lit while you sip your drink and pretend you’re doing all the work.
-
Easy to Maintain: Look, you can clean it every time you use it if you’re feeling industrious, or just leave it—we’re not judging. It’s built to withstand the elements and some occasional laziness (yep, we’re guilty too).
Dimensions:
- Length: 1450mm
- Width: 450mm
- Height: 1000mm
Options:
Comes in either flatpack (for those who enjoy a bit of DIY) or fully assembled (for those who don’t).
Assembly: Everything’s included, and it’s pretty straightforward. You’ll have it up and cooking in no time, ready to impress your friends with your new four-legged BBQ.
Grilling: Chuck in some charcoal or wood, let it heat up, and you’re good to go. The grill grate gives you plenty of space to cook up whatever you fancy. Maybe even some veggies if you’re feeling healthy. Again, we ain't here to judge.
Fire Pit: When it’s not BBQ season, just remove the grill and throw on some logs. Instant cosy vibes my friend.
Care Instructions: Honestly, it’s pretty low maintenance. Empty out the ash when you're done, or don’t—it’ll survive either way.
Why Choose Our Donkey BBQ/Firebox?
Because who else has a BBQ shaped like a donkey? It's a bit of a conversation starter. In fact it would probably make a pretty mean LinkedIn post, but you know, you do you boo!
So whether you're knocking up a few snags, gardening, or sitting around the fire with friends, the Donkey BBQ/Firebox will keep the good times going. So go on, add some fun to your outdoor space—or our copywriter's cooked!
