Open Casket Bar and Grill

BURN IN HELL
Or at least while attached to a hearse.
The man that designed this custom built bar and grill does just that at least once a year when he treks with the trailer to Hell, Michigan with his «open casket» grill.
The grill, which was built over the course of 80 to 100 hours at The TechShop of Allen Park, is made out of a modified casket. The shell of the casket is mounted to a portable tow-​behind trailer, so it draws onlookers when being transported behind a hearse, but with no visible tie-​downs.

It contains a four-​burner stainless steel grill that boasts 48,000 Btu of power. It boasts 496 square inches of cooking space, with electronic ignition and porcelain-​coated, heavy-​gauge wire cooking grates and a 20-​pound propane tank.
The other half of the casket includes a marine style waterproof radio and a 27-​gallon cooler with built-​in drainage features. Of course, the grill wouldn’t be complete without tools that all have «Open Casket Bar and Grill» laser etched into their handles, and custom-​made salt and pepper shakers.
Why a hearse? Because the creator, Steven Frye, is also the founder of the Nightmare Cruisers Hearse Club for car enthusiasts.
The club boasts more than 120 members, mostly from around Michigan, though some join from across the country.
«We like to get together and do the cruises,» Frey said. «When we do these cruises, we like to hang out with our friends, old friends and new friends. Anyone that has a hearse is welcome to join us, even if you are just a hearse enthusiast.»
Frey first bought his hearse to promote a product, «Dr. Frybrain’s Pumpkin Embalmer,» though most people thought it was just a name for his hearse, rather than an actual product.
After a couple of years of explaining the product on the car, Frey grew tired of answering questions and instead just painted over the advertising.
For a time, the club also held the record for most hearses assembled in a parade in 2011. Frey said the rule for any gathering of cars is that is has to be a parade; otherwise, the record would be held by the manufacturer.
«We held the record for about 11 months,» he said. «Then a group in the Netherlands broke the record. Almost all of them were ‘in the business,’ though. Only three of our hearses were owned by funeral homes.
