The Flintstones Kitchen

This is poolside outdoor alfresco kitchen area that Im building. I was hoping to get some ideas and opinions on the stone chimney cowl. When I initially envisioned this concept, I was thinking of a simple idea for a chimney cowl, just a big dirty organic roundish looking rock, faced on the bottom and slightly hollowed out to fit over the chimney. Something interesting, but simple. The clients on this job have been divided from the get go. The husband likes my work and wanted to give me free reign to go nuts and come up with something special. The wife wanted a brick BBQ. So after dealing with the domestic relationship disputes, I scaled back my design to this, Which is a pool pump cubby with stone shelves, pizza oven, fridge, wok burner, 6 burner bbq and a 1200mm concealed spit in a counter levered, domed vaulted arch structure with a high volume adjustable extraction fan. The problem is that they think the stone cap makes the chimney look like stubby stone penis. Ive knocked off the chunky bits and smoothed it off a little, but now I think it looks more penisesque than it did before. I was just going to throw it out there, so to speak, and see if anybody had a shape or idea that I could do out of stone. Perhaps someone has experienced this kind of criticism before? Probably not. I would really rather keep it stone, but the client is leaning towards a stainless steel cap. What do you think?
