Most of us don’t like to spend a penny more than $3 million on our kitchen appliances, but Iron Dog has an oven that might make you dig just a little deeper into your pockets. The Iron Dog 05 Huraxdax is a $4 million gold-plated, wood-fired range that looks like something out of Austin Powers rival Goldmember’s kitchen.
L.A. Weekly reports there’s also a silver-plated version available, for those less fortunate. The range doubles as a heater, capable of ratcheting up the temperature for a 1,000 square feet area.
What would you do with a golden stove?

Isn’t the melting point of gold rather low? Would be kind of depressing if the gold dripped off during the first use
Yeah, definitely a deal-breaker as I often cook at 1950°F
well, you could melt it with a lab bunsen burner. I don’t see why a wood fire would not melt gold
Bunsen burners can burn at 1760 °C, the melting point of pure gold is 1064.18 °C. In free air, solid fuels such as wood can only burn at about 270 °C, so no.
And still… would you really USE a 4 million dollar stove?
I would use the hell out of it. Damn thing cost $4 million dollars, would be a waste to let it go unused.
“$4 million dollars”
And this message was brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department.
“What would you do with a golden stove?”
I would cook my $1000 Kobe beef hamburgers topped with white truffles and beluga caviar in it.
Ugh… artists…. :
Use it to fire my golden poo..?
make boxed mac and cheese.
You wouldn’t have to, but you would, and more of it. You could probably get some fancy ketchup to go with that.
Haven’t you always wanted a monkey?!

Picture looks like sand in the air
this is why the terrorists hate us
This is why I hate us. Not all us, just the fabulously wealth us.
The stove is actually from the UK. But your point is no less valid.
Because all those stupidly wealthy Arabs never do anything ostentatious ?
+1
Maybe they hate us because we can have heat-producing appliances, and they can cook hard-boiled eggs by holding them out the kitchen window in July.
They are jealous that they don’t have wood.
you assume all terrorists are Arabs?
One big reason I couldn’t do this, there is no way this would fit into a stocking.
What I want to know is-what the heck is a “huraxdax”? Google can’t ken it.
“HURAXDAX is a bavarian [sic] word and means something like ‘decampment to joy’.”
it is not that functional as well…
Seem like I can’t cook anything in the fire pit area, just one thing on the top… at least make it so you can cook two things…
what about smoke? where would smoke go??
what about cleany greese and junk off from it? can I use somethign abbrasive to clean it?
If I have 4 million to spend on a stove, I’ll pay someone else to design a build it to met my usages.
Why would you worry about any of that? That’s what the help is for.
This is the kind of thing you would put in the lobby of some ridiculously fancy hotel. I just can’t imagine it being a functional piece in a home or any other type pf business. I think some people make this kind of thing and advertise it just to create publicity. They know full well that nobody will buy one, but the fact they can sell you one if you want just adds to their catalog I guess. Sort of like that life size gingerbread house. Nobody will buy one, but it is something interesting which will attract attention to the catalog and website.
There’s no accounting for taste.
Could it be:
DR: Showoff Expense $xxx
CR: Cash $xxx
or it may be an asset where Taste-Accumulated Showing off(contra taste account)=Net taste on B/S:
DR: Showoff Expense $xxx
CR: Accum. Showing off $xxx
Another stupid “expensive” product. What reason is there for it to be covered in gold? Cover it in diamonds and sell it for a $50 million. Just like those diamond covered iPhones. It’s still just an iPhone.
Are we sure this isn’t a bargain? Their website indicates the stove has 260kg of gold, which by my calculations would be $11.6m.

What’s the point? Who is foolish enough to drop 4 mil on a stove?
I am the huraxdax. I burn up the trees.
Correct me if I’m reading the website incorrectly, but they claim that the stove is made of SOLID gold or silver, not plated cast iron.
What would I do with it? Return it for a refund.
