Backpack Outdoor Barbecues

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Xplor BBQ' Can be Carried or Strapped to a Backpack

— September 27, 2016 — Art & Design
The majority of outdoor barbecues are notoriously large and cumbersome when it comes to portability, so the 'Xplor BBQ' looks to help change this with a design that's focused on ease of carry.

Designed by William Pilgrim, the 'Xplor BBQ' features a rucksack attachment that enables the charcoal BBQ to be carried on a campers pack rather than carried. This helps to ensure that going from the parking spot, to the campsite won't develop into a pain cause from fumbling with equipment.

The 'Xplor BBQ' features a variety of handy features that enable the outdoor barbecue to be inherently useful including a handle that indicates heat intensity and a push button venting system. Silicone rubber feet help to lift the 'Xplor BBQ' up off the ground to the perfect level for safe, convenient grilling.

1. Portable Outdoor Barbecues - Opportunity for disruptive innovation by creating compact and lightweight barbecues that are easy to carry and transport.
2. Campers' Equipment - Opportunity for disruptive innovation by developing multi-functional camping equipment that integrates various tools and accessories into a compact design.
3. Smart BBQ Technology - Opportunity for disruptive innovation by incorporating advanced features such as temperature indicators and automated venting systems into outdoor barbecues.

3. Smart Home Technology - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the smart home technology industry by integrating smart features and connectivity into outdoor barbecues for enhanced user experience and control.
