Favorite OGC Product?

The Uptown Gas Fire Pit Table is my favorite product. While walking through a billiards store, there was a coffee table in one of their displays. I thought it was pretty cool and had one of the engineers take a picture of it. In the next few days, there was a drawing made up, and the rest is history!!
