If your barbecue is beginning to rust away and wasn’t quite up to the job on Memorial Day weekend, then why not replace it with this one?

The world’s most expensive barbecue - all individually plated in 24-carat gold and built by hand - is yours for around $165,000.

Australian firm BeefEater Barbecues produces the ‘ultimate in backyard bling' - a grill completely plated in gold apart from the cooking surfaces.

It boasts a six-burner barbecue and wok burner, quartz start ignition, warming rack, roasting hood, high-output burners and vaporiser grid.

The company said it made the golden grill for those who ‘want to make a statement with their barbecue and have the money to burn’.

‘Part of the fun of having a barbecue is putting on a show, and that’s what we do best,’ a BeefEater Barbecues spokesman said.

He added that it was only made to see how much in 'opulence, price and features' the company could fit into one product.

With the gold price currently above $1,500 per ounce it could also represent a decent investment if the price continues to rise.
