If you're throwing a massive Super Bowl Party on Sunday, you may need a grill that can serve up burgers fast.

The new Fuego Element Grill by Partner Ammunition Group can cook 16 quarter-pounders in 20 minutes, with only 346 square inches of grate space.

The grill, designed by Robert Brunner, the former head of industrial design at Apple, costs about the same as a mid-level grill, ranging in price from $300 to $400 depending on the model and add-ons. You can order it on its site or Amazon.

Check out its sleek design.

The Fuego Element is a gas grill that looks like an upright tube. It features a 21-inch-diameter cast iron grate, two circular burners, and a domed lid.

To ignite it, you turn the knob in the center and press and hold the black button beside it. The electronic igniter will spark, make a click, and light the burner.

It heats to 500 degrees Fahrenheit in five minutes, which means 16 burgers can be done in about 20 minutes. A standard 20-pound propane tank will provide 60 cooking cycles, or about one grill session per week for a year.

The burner is close to the grill grate, which is how the Fuego Element stays consistently hot across the entire cooking surface. Charcoal grills can still reach 500 degrees, but most affordable gas grills will suffer from hot and cold spots, Brunner says. Not this one.
