Floating Grill Cooks On The Lake
Kicking back and having fun is what you do at the lake. Minnesota inventor Kurt Scepaniak says his new floating barbeque just adds to the fun.
  “We live on a chain of lakes and go out to the sandbar a lot. We stand in the water all day long and chat with the neighbors,” he explains. “Out of laziness, I didn’t want to get out of the water to grill.”
  Scepaniak runs a commercial roofing company that has a sheet metal department, so he had a stainless steel grill welded up and mounted on lightweight plastic tubing.
  He anchors it to float perpendicular to the lake’s waves at a comfortable height to grill. It works like an ordinary grill.
  Scepaniak began the patent process for what he calls the “Floating Flamer” and created two models: the topless model and the Grand Flamer with hood. He’s interested in customized ideas and adding accessories to hold condiments and cups.
  “I would like to keep it fun and let customers come up with ideas like making it look like a pirate ship, or sandblast custom designs into the stainless steel,” he says. Bigger grills, such as a 6-ft. long model, are perfect for caterers and people who need to feed bigger groups of people. Prices start at $600.
