If you’re in the market for a nice-looking grill but you aren’t too keen on spending thousands of dollars, Fuego’s new “Element” series might be more to your liking. Taking some features from the Fuego 01, which can be found for around $3000 and the Fuego 02 for around $1700, the Element grills slim down to a more patio-friendly size and run from $399 to $599. Oh, and the Element line’s looks come from former Apple designer Robert Brunner.
Aside from just grilling stuff, you can also use different attachments to cook various food in different ways. There’s a pizza stone top, a griddle plate, and a roasting lid with a built-in temperature gauge and vents that “transforms the grill into a convection-like oven, allowing consumers to barbecue, slow-cook, roast and even bake.”
The three grills will be “available early spring” — the stainless steel Element 01 for $599, the gray Element 02 with prep tray for $499, and the Element 03 available in white or red for $399. They’re pictured from left to right up top, with the red and white ones on the right both being the Element 03 model.

LOl…what is it with these people charging this amount. Do they really think we are going to fund their Gunite pool desire..

And does the fact that they “were” a former Apple designer have anything to do with barbeques..
I know plenty of people who have been laid off as well. Come on people. The stupid years are yesterday.
I would pay no more than 100 dollars US for a grill that size.
I do like the setup, its a very good size for a smaller back patio. I would pay 150 total if it included the optional pizza stone and griddle.
the fact that they were former apple designers have everything to do with that pricetag.
Nice grills. They’ll sell a few. Weber and Ducane and Big Green Egg charge comparable prices for their cookie cutter offerings. Some people like a little style in their lives, and are willing to pay for it.
I sold bbq grills and cooked lunch on the egg for six months. It was Very good. And it will last forever. I would certainly buy one if I lived somewhere that allowed it. I live in an apt. Your cooking will improve 50% if you start cooking on an egg. Really.. You will be happy. Thank you.
Interesting design. I’d do some research on what features are important for successful grilling (surface area).
