BBQ Donut Pontoon Combines Rafting and Grilling
Or, 'Smoke on the Water'
Imagine one of those amusement park water rides—the ones where you float down a "river" atop one of those large rubber doughnuts, with five other people, snaking under waterfalls and through "rapids." Now imagine you're all facing a flaming grill instead of holding on to safety rails.
This completely insane rig from Germany—called the BBQ Donut—brings that imagined scenario to life.
The BBQ Donut is customizable, with accessories like a sound system, a "chill out" pad that replaces the grill center of the float with a sunbathing platform, and an umbrella attachment.
Don't worry, you won't float rudderless. Looks like there's a small outboard electric motor to keep you on course to Leisure Island. [via Fast Food Critic]

It doesn't look insane. Of course it would be insane if you took it on an amusement park rapids ride. Looks perfect for recreational lakes.
It's hilarious that they gave out donuts as a promotion or whatever that was.

Wow. This sounds like a fun time. I feel like it's a safety hazard, more so in combination with eating, beer (i mean, its a floating vessel!), and fire.

Um, I think this looks like summer heaven. What's better than brewskies, barbecue and floating on a lake?

I contacted the company to request a price list.
A basic model: 15.990 € / $25,220 USD
A loaded model: 24.399,00 € / $38,500 USD
The loaded model has everything they offer, including the sound-system w/subwoofer, and all kinds of upgrades.
