BBQ & Grill Coloring Book - a Surprise Castle exclusive

24 hand-illustrated scenes from grills and pits around the world, from a Caribbean jerk chicken to a Texas barrel smoker.

Coals are hot. Tongs ready. Color slow and low.

A hand-drawn adult coloring book, 24 scenes that run from beachside cabanas and Mongolian steppes to Greek courtyards and street kebab stalls. The pace is set by the slow pull of smoke and the sizzle of fat hitting fire, not the next notification.

Step up to a tabletop grill in a decorated garden, beef cubes and round buns laid out under an Asian pagoda. Walk to a marble courtyard where kebabs and shrimp skewers sit on the rectangular grill, flatbread folded beside. Pull up to a whole chicken spit-roasted over an open fire on a cross-stand, rural farmland behind. Then to a Greek-patterned restaurant grill of meat skewers and meatballs.

The pages keep moving. A round campsite grill of shrimp and meat kebabs in a forest clearing. A backyard cookout with chicken thighs and beef on the flat-top, coolers and picnic ready. A Caribbean jerk chicken on a round bowl grill under palm trees. A mountainside open-air spread of beef steaks and roasted vegetables.

Wander through the regions. A Mongolian stone-pit grill of whole steaks beside a yurt on the steppe. A wooden-wagon-wheel decor table of mixed kebabs and shrimp. A beach cabana grill of sausages with surfboards and ocean. A festival grill of burgers and hot dogs under balloons and tents.

Keep going. A pine-clearing campfire with whole fish on a spit. A restaurant carne asada hung in a stainless rotisserie kitchen. A street kebab stall under shaded umbrellas. A vertical shawarma rotisserie with the chef carving. A lakeside picnic grill of burgers and hot dogs. A brick-oven restaurant grill of shrimp and meat skewers. A barrel-style smoker with brisket and sausage and an open lid. A canvas-tent kebab market with hanging meats. A tropical luau pig roast in a fire pit. A street griddle of shrimp skewers manned by a chef in conical hat. A waterside grill of fish, shrimp, and lemon slices with sailboats. And to close, a beach-side grill of whole fish and shrimp skewers with the ocean beyond.

There's a reason coloring sticks around. It gives a busy mind somewhere to land, and in this case that somewhere is the char marks on a brisket or the curve of a kebab skewer. Some pages are bold and forgiving. Others will eat a whole afternoon. Works fine with colored pencils, fine-tip markers, or gel pens.

If you know someone with a smoker bigger than their kitchen, a friend who has a 14-step rib recipe, or a backyard host who fires the grill at the first sign of warm weather, this is for them. It's also for the person who'd quietly rather shade a brisket on a Saturday than scroll.

Stoke the coals.
