If you have limited outdoor space, the summer ritual of barbecuing can bypass you altogether—it’s hard to fit a grill on a balcony without creating an eyesore or taking up all available room. Unless, that is, it’s the Hot-Pot BBQ, a grill that’s cleverly disguised as a terra cotta pot, complete with a place to grow plants.

If you have limited outdoor space, the summer ritual of barbecuing can bypass you altogether—it’s hard to fit a grill on a balcony without creating an eyesore or taking up all available room. Unless, that is, it’s the Hot-Pot BBQ, a grill that’s cleverly disguised as a terra cotta pot, complete with a place to grow plants.

As designed by Dan Black and Martin Blum, the Hot-Pot BBQ looks like any other large terra cotta pot—until you lift off the top to reveal the metal grill. Remove the grill, fill the stainless steel liner with charcoal, replace the grill with the stainless steel tongs, and you’re ready to start cooking.

Whether you’re sitting on your patio or relaxing by the pool, the Hot-Pot BBQ works great anywhere you want to grill without dealing with outlets or moving a full-sized grill.

And because it’s also a functioning planter, you can grow herbs in the top part to season the food you grill in the lower part.

The Hot-Pot includes a two-part terra cotta planter with heat-insulating ceramic coating, a stainless steel liner to hold charcoal, a stainless steel grill and stainless steel tongs. Though compact, you can comfortably grill a couple of steaks or several kabobs on its surface.

Enjoy s’mores on your balcony or kebobs by the pool with the Hot-Pot BBQ, giving suburban grilling a stylish urban twist.
