Handcrafted & One-of-a-Kind
Written By Rich Helmer

Grill in Western style with our handmade metal Burro Grill — a life-size, functional piece of art from Mexico. Now available at Milagros Rústicos in Mesa, AZ.

Yes, it’s a burro. Yes, it’s a grill. And yes — it’s functional, fabulous, and handmade in Mexico.

The Metal Burro Grill is a showstopper. Life-sized, handcrafted from solid metal, and made to grill with serious style, this one-of-a-kind piece is more than just garden art — it’s your new backyard favorite.

Each grill features a lift-up top on metal hinges, a sturdy iron grill plate with a horseshoe handle, and a charcoal-ready firebox for that unbeatable smoky flavor. It’s practical, it’s clever, and it’s 100% unforgettable.

Whether you’re cooking up carne asada or just showing off your Western flair, this grill isn’t just a conversation starter — it’s the whole story.

Now available at Milagros Rústicos in Mesa, Arizona. Come see it in person at our showroom inside the Village Square at Dana Park.

Grill in style. Grill with soul.

Rich Helmer

Originally from the Chicago suburb of Elgin, Illinois, Rich Helmer's family headed west to Arizona just before his final years of high school. Rich became instantly fascinated with the desert southwest. Its renowned grandeur and mysterious energy would profoundly influence his later work, as would the endless beaches of Mexico and Southern California. Rich's sonic creativity emerged at an early age, as did his unorthodox approach to artistic ventures.

As a primarily self-taught guitarist and songwriter, Rich has never been one to live by a handbook. However, after devoting most of his life to music, he abandoned his true passion and decided to seek a more "realistic" vocation. The decade-long diversion is something that Rich still occasionally laments, but he also knows that the past is just that - the past. Fortunately, Rich decided to dust off his vintage Telecaster and pursue his love of photography, leaving him with little time for regrets.

Rich dares us to consider what possibilities may lie along the path less traveled with both humility and purpose. Whether provocative, soul-stirring, inspiring, disconcerting, or some combination of these, the overarching theme in Rich's work is that, for him, the lens is much more than a curved piece of glass; it is a vehicle through which viewers can experience worlds that might have otherwise remained hidden.

Join his journey.
