Designed by General Electric in the early 1960s, the Partio Cart sold for almost $800. It is an electric range and oven on one side and a barbecue on the other.

ReplyDeleteA few years ago, I wanted two things in my backyard/deck.
An outdoor workbench and outdoor stove.
The landlord offered to run a gas line to the outside to hook this and the grill up... I passed on that, I wanted to keep it movable.

It now has slotted sides to enclose it a bit..
