Barbecuing Picnic Tables

The Omega Outdoor Cooking Table Makes Alfresco Food Prep More Social

— January 22, 2014 — Art & Design
Instead of banishing the chef to the back patio to get the meal started, you can furnish your deck with the Omega Outdoor Cooking Table so that all can grill their food together. This is an enhanced wooden picnic table with a circular BBQ integrated into its center, accessible to everyone who sits on the built-in benches.

Edward J. Frame's design makes use of a gas heating mechanism that can be installed within a large hole in the middle of the eating surface. Several layers to the contraption include an insulating ring, controls, a hotplate and a grill tray, completing the convenient cooktop. The Omega Outdoor Cooking Table encourages communal food preparation for an extended social experience. When it's no longer the season for backyard dinners, the piece can be folded flat for storage.
