About the Product
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.

This is the second stag's head I have purchased and the recipients were stoked to receive them.
My son, who lives in care, specially asked for the small size to put on his bedroom door
We’ve displayed this as a way to remember our beloved pet who passed away. We think about him every time we look at it.
Love it. It’s a perfect gift.
Thanks to the team. Awesome service and our gate sign is great
It’s beautiful.
