We're 2 hours from the end of the campaign and almost $30,000 from meeting the funding goal ... I think it's safe to call it over, don't you?

It has been a fun ride though! Sharon and I just made four pizzas in the Fire Pit Grill pizza oven attachment – all in record time – and I'm happy to say that I've dialed in the temps better than ever. If the existence of this little pizza machine was the only thing to come out of this campaign, I'd still call it a success.

I'm dedicated to figuring out how to get grills together for those of you who backed and still want to take a grill home. I can't promise that I'll be able to make all of the options available – after all, that is what the $55,000 goal was all about. But I'll do my best. Anyone who is interested, please email me at [email protected] to discuss details.

The kind folks at BackerKit wanted you to know that you may see some confusing wording around your pledge. But since this is an all-or-nothing funding model and I failed to reach the all-or-nothing goal, you will not be charged anything for this campaign. As they put it, "you will still see a record of your pledge for now, but rest assured that the card on file won’t be charged."

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you and the support you've given us by backing this project.

I hope to be working with many of you soon to make a few cool custom grills.

Thank you from me (Ted) and the Fourneau Team

Hi Backers,

We've got one week remaining to fund the Fourneau Fire Pit Grill. The goal is far away so any hopes of reaching it are slim.

As someone who backed the project, I'd really like to know where you would like us to go from here.

Your feedback is hugely valuable to us. Please send your thoughts in a comment or in an email to [email protected]

Very best, Ted

Hi Everyone, I can't tell those of you who have backed the project, how thankful I am to have your support.

I have two favors to ask of you:

1) Is there anyone you can recruit to join the campaign? If each backer brought 1 new backer in, we'd likely reach our goal!

2) I want to know what we should be doing differently. What aspects of the campaign, visual communication, product design do you think we need to improve?

Happy Friday! Ted

I built a few different prototypes before arriving at this one.
Yes, the appearance is rough, but geez this functional prototype really performs nicely.

We estimate this attachment will cost about $350 when manufactured. If you want one, just increase your pledge by $250.
No doubt the design needs more work, but if you back us now, you'll get to have input in the rest of the design process.

What is left for us to do?

What do we need you to do?

Take care, Ted

Well, okay, two-thirds of the ring grill ... I ran out of wire!

I couldn't be happier with the performance of this thing. Getting the fire going was super easy thanks to the Fire Pit Grill design. I cut my firewood in half to make is supper easy to throw little chunks in and keep the cooker fueled. Of course, you could add some coals to this fire to maintain it too.

The big challenge now: Getting the project funded.
We all want that to happen, so please share the project far and wide!
If you like these videos (they are all on our YouTube channel and on instagram) share them with your communities! 

After sharing, please leave some comments about the new prototypes.
Let me know what you'd like to see turned into an add-on reward.

Ted
