DescriptionA female mannequin wearing a chef's hat, a white dress, and an apron with the words "Genius / At Work" is standing by an outdoor fireplace made of artificial stones, touching what appears to be a steak with a long fork. Logs are in the firebox below. The arched oven is in the back of the unit, beneath the fireplace chimney. The interior unit is displayed at the left. Large photographs show different installations in different outdoor settings. A split rail fence and a painted backdrop depicting rolling hills with scattered trees and distant mountains is in the background. Painted on the backdrop are the words "The / Amazing New OUTDOOR Oven FIREPLACE".
