We looked at the reasons for buying a bbq grill. Alternatives are outdoor kitchens with multiple burners, gas barbeques or charcoal barbeques. Increasingly, we are put off by gas grills (it would be like cooking in your kitchen). A charcoal barbecue has its charm but the learning curve before you can use a Kamodo egg successfully is disheartening.
We found the perfect BBQ grill. We are passionate about our Vulcanus Range and as a matter of fact, here are twelve reasons why.
1. The Vulcanus makes outdoor cooking a spectacular social event. The joy of cooking out in the open, gathering around an open fire and seeing food cooking is one of the great pleasures in life. The Vulcanus makes cooking a social event. It differs vastly from cooking under a lid or in an oven. If you do want a closed environment, use gorgeous cast iron pots and pans that entice people to lift a lid, stir the food and be part of the process. Gather around the Vulcanus, enjoy the spectacle or get involved, the Vulcanus is big enough!
2. The barbeque for foodies. Cooking on a barbeque often requires some niftiness around controlling the temperature and getting a stable, consistent temperature going. Instead of fiddling with levers to control airflow and heat, the Vulcanus has a unique thick ceramic lining in its fire pit. The ceramic takes heat on slowly and then radiates a stable, consistent heat to the cooking surface. As a result, it gives you multi-temperature cooking zones. Move your food around the various heat zones so it cooks just how you like it!
3. Modern timeless but eye-catching, innovative design. It is square for a reason. The unusual square design with ceramic lining has a patent. The unique design of the fire pit provides you with clear cooking zones of varying heat. The cooking surface of 10mm thick boilerplate steel (also used for making ships!) is perfect for cooking food and extremely hard-wearing. In addition, grooves around the edge of the cooking plates drain away excess fat and juices. The Corten steel frame gives it a beautiful orange/ brown finish that ages well and naturally blends in with the garden. A simple .stainless steel cover protects the cooking surfaces from all elements when the Vulcanus is not in use, removing the need for storage.
4. No assembly is required. Whilst the Vulcanus can be taken apart, it arrives in one piece. We will unpack and place it where you want it. The Vulcanus is extremely heavy, made of Corten steel and has a heavy-duty ceramic lining.
5. Very easy to light and maintain a fire. Three small steps, and you will have a lovely fire heating up your contemporary barbeque. Start by constructing a Jenga tower from kindling in the centre. Secondly, place a couple of fire starters in the centre. Finally, surround this with a few logs. Ensure you use kiln-dried logs for an easy start of the fire. Light the firestarters, and that is that.
6. Good things come to those who wait. The time to first cook is 45 minutes. Light the fire and then wait for the ceramic lining to absorb the heat and radiate it out. With the Vulcanus however, you light the fire, sit back and relax. Grab a drink, and entertain your guests as there is no need to fan the flame or manage the airflow. It is all taken care of!
If these reasons are insufficient to persuade you, here are six more reasons to buy a barbeque, particularly the Vulcanus!
7. Incredibly easy to cook on. The extremely hot cooking zones are located near the centre, right by the fire. Move it further away from the fire for medium heat. The coolest zones are the corners, perfect for keeping food warm or slowly heating up dishes. In addition, you can cook directly on the fire by using the cast iron grid. Either place it directly in the square opening or use the legs provided to elevate the cast iron grid directly above the fire. Remove the ring in the centre, and you have a perfect holder for a wok.
8. Love a touch of smoke. Add subtle smokey flavours by adding wood chips to the fire. As the fire and faint smoke leak over the edges of the cooking surface, a light smokey flavour is added to the food.
9. No need to control the temperature. Keep the open fire going. It is that simple! The square design already creates clear cooking zones of varying heat. As a result, all you have to do is move the food around into the zone with the right temperature. Start a fire and add a log as and when needed to keep a steady fire going. The fire pit is designed so that wood burns evenly and efficiently.
10. Cosy up by the fire. It doubles up as a fire pit. The metal surfaces radiate a beautiful heat, taking the chill out of the air.
11. Easy to clean. Cleaning the Vulcanus is easy and requires minimal effort. First, remove the core plug at the centre of the fire pit, and brush the ash into the ashtray. Remove the ashtray to empty it and give it a rinse. Place the tray, and the core plug back in their place. Wipe the cooking surface clean with a cloth and some rapeseed oil. Put the lid on the cleaned Vulcanus, so it is ready to use the next time you want to barbecue.
12. Weatherproof. The durable Corten steel makes the Vulcanus perfect to leave outside. Consequently, it will weather every season perfectly. Use a cover to protect the grilling surface and ceramic lining.
In short, we want to cook food on an easy-to-light, easy-to-clean barbeque. We want an excellent cooking surface to keep food warm without any special effort. Not to mention a barbeque that uses wood as fuel, a sustainable resource. In addition, we would like a smokey flavour without applying the complex science of smoking food over a long period of time. Finally, an easy-to-operate BBQ that can cater for groups, large and small and ads ambience. By all accounts, the Vulcanus is perfect for all these reasons!
