Changeable letters!

Changeable letters!

Have you ever fancied branding your meat? Course you have. It’s worth it just to hear that strangely satisfying ‘phsstt’ sound. Sadly most branding irons are only capable of scorching pre-determined symbols onto burgers and steaks. Not so the flesh-searingly brilliant BBQ Branding Iron.

With fifty-two letters and eight blank spaces, this ingenious aluminium branding iron allows wannabe cowboys and cowgirls to customise their food with whatever message they fancy, from ‘Nice Rump’ to ‘Dead Meat’. Char!

How to use the BBQ Branding Iron

Insert one of the locks

Slide the letters in

Insert the second lock


Simply arrange the letters, lock ‘em in place and shove the iron in the barbie. Then when it’s nice and hot brand your message – phsstt! Use it on steaks, chops, chicken, burgers or even (gasp!) tofu. No lassoing required.

Stick it in the fire

Heat it up on the fire and put on your cowboy hat

Thanks to two lines of text and a whole heap of letters, the possibilities are (almost) endless: ‘Happy Birthday’, ‘Road Kill’, ‘McTasty’, Eat Me’, ‘Vegans Suck’, ‘Crime Scene’, ‘Hot Stuff’, ‘RIP Daisy’, ‘What Diet’, ‘Medium Rare’, ‘Ouch’… and those are just the clean ones. Profanity-seared meat splattered with ketchup? What’s not to like!

Stick it in the fire

Make sure your friends stay away from your chops!

Perfect for adding a personal touch to all kinds of nosh, the BBQ Branding Iron is set to become every barbecue fan’s favourite novelty utensil. You can even pretend you’re a genuine spur-twirling cowboy, branding steers out yonder for old man Smithers. If you want.

Speaking of cowboys, the good ol’ boys over at the Firebox Ranch reckon this ingenious gizmo is gonna fly off the shelves faster than you can say ‘medium rare’. So quit lollygagging around and hit the Buy button. Phsstt!

press review "...it's really a sweet gesture that mom will surely appreciate..."
Crave - May '09
press review "Here's something that seems a little odd for a Mother's Day gift, but which somehow makes plenty of sense-BBQ Branding Irons. Given the countless times we remember out mothers yelling at us to "eat up!", "don't waste food!", or "finished those greens!", this is one strategic if novel way to get the message across right on the rump (the food's, not yours). Who knows, it may even spice up meal times with fascinating possibilities: "What diet?", "happy birthday!", "Don't forget the garbage", "road kill!", "homework after this!", "no TV!"...you get the drift..."
Cnet - May '09
press review "You know how ranchers brand their own walking pieces of meat so that they can claim ownership over them just in case a cow or two make their way across the fields over to another ranch? Well, the BBQ Branding Iron might work on bovines that are still alive, we don't doubt that, but why waste the tiem and effort when you can personally brand that piece of steak you've been BBQ-ing for the past 10 minutes so that nobody else can stake a claim on that juicy bit? Yes, each £14.95 purchase will reward you with 52 letter and 8 blank spaces, allowing you to brand customized messages on your food. Arranging the letters are a snap, all you need to do is lock them in place once you're done and shove the iron in the barbie."

Alex, Surrey - 27th February 2011

Gabby, Crawley, West Sussex - 21st April 2010
visitor avatar I thought I'd mention that this would be an excellent and rather unique way of proposing to 'that special someone'.
Prime, Chester - 6th March 2010
visitor avatar Nooooo, where has it gone! I wanted to order one as a Christmas present please tell me you will be getting more!?
Jemma, Kingston Upon Thames - 12th November 2009
Firebox says: Maybe next summer Jemma. Sorry!
visitor avatar No, no, no how many times did I tell them that I did not want "bite me" branded on my keister but after a few bevvies it had to be done.... Ouch!
Matt, Southend - 3rd September 2009
visitor avatar Just a thought / question. I thought cooking with aluminium pots was linked to Alzhiemers, is this a concern with this product?
Dave, Ottawa, Canada - 3rd August 2009
Firebox says: As far as we're aware there is still no scientifically proven link between cooking using Aluminium and Altzheimer's disease, and the risks associated with using Aluminium for cooking are very minimal, however if you have any concerns regarding this product, further information is available from the Altzheimer's society here: http://alzheimers.org.uk/factsheet/406
visitor avatar Omg I am SO getting one of these. I've been thinking up my phrases already! "Dead Cow" "Roadkill" "RIP" "I died a happy cow" Or for varying spiciness. . "Spicy" "Not so spicy" "Wimp".
CJ, Keele - 23rd July 2009
visitor avatar Nice idea! But tell me, how did you manage to write "EAT ME ANDREW" when there are only two Es in the set? Sorry, I'm too anal.......
James Dawson, Sale - 6th May 2009
Firebox says: We bought two branding irons and used letters from both. We're currently working on a phrase containing 4 E's! Any suggestions..?
