To all morons that think sticking a hole in meat affects anything.. please try this at home. Stab you hand with a compass, then put it over a 400 degree grill. Notice the blood stops? It's called "searing"... also known as cauterizing. That is what happens to flesh when cooked. So stabbing a hole or even making a small incision in your meat will immediately sear before it looses any substantial juices. Plus the holes are usually on top.. so the juice doesn't go anywhere.
Now, to the product at hand.. so someone took the all-too-popular fork thermometer and put it in tongs and its worth mentioning on gizmodo? Is the tech world that dry?
@DssTrainer: Try this at home. Take two pieces of meat, cook them nicely on the grill without poking holes in either. Remove both from the grill, allow one to rest 5 min. before slicing, slice the other immediately. See the problem?

You are not cauterizing the meat, because it's not *bleeding* you are worried about. Moron.
Looks like it has some kind of probe in the tong that punctures the meat. This leads me to thinking this is a bad idea for anyone serious about their food. First, sticking holes in cooking meat is generally a bad idea. Juice tends to leak out, giving you a dry cooked lump. Second, it looks like hell to clean. Third, where the probe ends up inside your grilled cut is anyone's guess--could be dead center, could just be below the surface.

I love technology. But old school here may just work better. Get a pair of tongs and learn how long it takes. The side benefit is that you can cook a bunch of steaks to perfect your technique.
Note that by code the chimney will have to be 2' taller than anything within 10' of it. What they don't show is the 8' or so of pipe sticking above the edge of the roof, and the less-than-attractive bracing holding it up.
@Hiphopopotamus: I don't think that's accurate. I have included built in BBQs and fireplaces on terraces in proposals to the DOB that have passed. They were all gas however, that might be a condition. I should look it up.
@OMG! Ponies!: Don't try to frighten us with your sauciers ways, Lord Ponies! Your sad devotion to that ancient grill has not helped you conjure up the stolen steak tips, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the rebels' hidden kitchen...
@Sir Gibler: I think Pushing Daisies' Olive put it best when she said, "You know what noone tells you about cooking with the Dark Side? The food is really good!"
@TheBastion: Try to find a painter friend as well. This looks cool, but a bit on the plain side. It desperately needs some detail paintwork on the main body.
So I click and drag over the hotdogs. Then click on "Create from Selection" and follow the dialog box to select "Chili Dog with Onions and Cheese". Then, under Formulas, click "Insert Function" and select "Jalapenos".
