Bull BBQ that's life-size and 'anatomically correct' for sale in Calgary

A charcoal barbecue shaped like a bull thatblows smoke out of its nose once you throw a few steaks on itcould be yours for $3,500.

And apparently that's a dealbecause the original owner paid "in excess of $10,000" for the custom-madebrass sculpture.

"It's quite a piece of art," saidKelly Kask, co-owner of the Reclaimed Trading Company aCalgary storethat salvages material and decor from barns, restaurants and offices.

It scooped up the 500-poundbull from a local eaterythat had changed ownership.

"Our mission is to divert construction waste from the landfill and in some cases you come across a nine-foot [long]brass bull," said Kask.

'Anatomically correct'

He says there has been plenty of interest in the piece, includingamanwho owns anisland in Ontario.

Kask says the clientwants it for his cabin but hiswife vetoed the bull.

"UntilI hear from his wife, there is no firm sale."

It's life-size and life-like in every way possible if you know what we mean.

"Ironically enoughmost women are quick to point that it's anatomically correct."
