Student Design Grill Survey

hollerbach · Joined: 06 Oct 2006 Posts: 1

I am currently a 4th year Industrial Design student at Georgia Tech working on designing a multifunctional grill for the everyday common bbq grill user. My main focus is a grill that gives the user a great amount of cooking freedom while also instilling a sense of ease and confidence in outdoor cooking; hopefully introducing the grill as a cooking tool that can be used as often as the common kitchen convection oven or stovetop burner. I unfortunately can�t achieve any of my goals without feedback from you. Your knowledge and experiences in outdoor cooking is single-handedly the most important element in my design. I ask you to please take 5 minutes out of your day and fill out a simple grilling survey that will tell me your grilling preferences. The larger the sample group I can collect from means the information collected is able to most accurately portray my user.

Thank you for your time, any help you can give me is very much appreciated.

My two sons, my two brothers, my two nephews, one niece and I are all engineers. Four North Avenue trade school, two Auburn and two Florida grads. Tough around the family table when we all get together with so many passionate opinions, but fun.

Best of luck in your coming career.

Hollerbach, I will take your survey. In return, please post the results you get- should be interesting!

Good luck designing a better mouse trap! Very Happy

I am a former machine builder, and built my own smoker, oven, and grills. Although I would make a few changes if I had to do it all over again, I LOVE my bbq rig! Very Happy

I just filled out the survey. I'm a Tool and Die maker with access to CNC mills and lathes. If you need any parts made PM me the specs. I keep trying to talk my boss into building a smoker for the shop big enough to do a whole pig in. ..Wish me luck Smile
