This is a cool little thing

It'll be available in May, apparently.

 

"We have put the sizzle into bbq design. Your bbq and herb-garden in one. It looks like a terracotta pot, but conceals a bbq grill underneath. Grow your herbs on the top to season the food you cook on the grill. It is ideal for small terraces or balconies and even looks good when not in use.

"made from stainless steel 430 & steel / includes stainless steel tongs / heat insulating ceramic coating / 37 Ø x 27cm / cooking area 29cm Ø / 14.6 Ø x 10.6in / cooking area 11.4in Ø"

 

...The site has a lot of nicely designed stuff. I particularly like the fruit loop.

Cool! Or hot probably if you use it for BBQ.

My thought was that it's a way to hide the BBQ: "No, we don't have any nasty unhealthy food, we just grow herbs!" *g*.

Well, it LOOKS like a good idea

except that it doesn't leave anywhere enough room for the herb plant's roots to expand. A rosemary plant that size wouldn't last more than a few weeks with only that much soil. You'd have to water it constantly, which isn't good for it.

And not enough room to bbq anything, either. Two shrimp, a tiny slice of fish, and 1/4 of an anorexic corncob? Um...not when the same $124 will get me a decent regular grill sized enough for two persons' food.

Nice idea, needs work.
