Paul Teutul Jr. "I'm going to send (the stove) out for powder coating, and then chrome, and, hey, it's metal and it runs on gas," laughs Teutul, on the phone from New York last week explaining how he came to leave his famous family business, Orange County Choppers, to try his hand at designing a cooktop for campers. it was just time." It was a big decision for the 34-year-old, who has spent the past two decades working alongside dad, the first 10 in their steel fabricating shop, Orange County Ironworks, and the second honing his now renowned skills for custom motorcycle design out of the OCC complex in Newburgh, New York. With the debut of American Chopper in 2003 (which airs Thursdays on TLC), Paul Jr., along with his tattooed dad and his wise-cracking little brother Mikey, introduced North American audiences to motorcycle design as high art, creating bikes for celebrities like Jay Leno and Lance Armstrong, high-profile businesses like Snap-On tools and the New York Jets and, yes, even for Jon Gosselin, the divorcing dad of Jon & Kate Plus 8. "Coleman said, 'We want to innovate our way out of the recession,' and I want to motivate young and old, to get them out of the house and get away from computers, and go outside." To that end, "I'm customizing this grill just the way I would a chopper, and the beauty is that it's under $200." Junior is still appearing regularly on American Chopper , mostly in his new incarnation as his own boss. Absolutely." These days he's working out of his house, doing more noodling and less fabricating, and says girlfriend Rachael is a big part of Paul Jr Designs, collaborating with him on the company's new logo, a stylized crown fashioned from the initials J and R.
