(Propane attachment optional Item # 90-302)
Opening and closing the Volcano Collapsible grill is very easy. In its closed position the unit is only 5” high x 15.5” diameter, by simply pulling up on the handle, the entire grill pops open to 10.5” high, the legs unfold, and you have a self-contained grill. To close the grill you lift up from the bottom, the grill folds in on itself, and the legs retract.
The Volcano grill's unique heating chamber that channels the heat upwards towards your food, instead of wasting fuel by expelling heat out the sides and bottom. This also means that the area surrounding the grill is cooler, allowing you to cook with the grill on a variety of surfaces without damage from heat.
The Volcano collapsible is designed to be a portable, adjustable and efficient cooker and self-contained fire pit. Once your are finished with the grill, allow it to cool, dump out the ashes, wipe it out, collapse it, and store in its carrying bag.
The Volcano is also ideal for Emergency Preparedness.
The Volcano is an award-winning Dutch Oven cooker. The Volcano is the only cooker on the market today that will allow you to use either; Charcoal, Wood or Propane to prepare a Dutch Oven meal. The Volcano's patented heat-chamber creates the most efficient, adjustable and effective Dutch Oven cooking available. A standard 12" oven fits perfectly inside the Volcano, creating even heat distribution.
Normally 12-13 briquettes will supply enough heat for Dutch Oven cooking and will give you 1 ½ to 2 hours of cooking time. Control of the air flow is important and by using it properly you can extend the total cooking time. If it is necessary to add more charcoal during the cooking process, as when cooking a large roast or chicken, etc., simply lift the Dutch Oven from the Volcano and place a few more briquettes against embers in the fire basket. Open the air vents to supply more air. No top heat is necessary unless you are baking, stacking Dutch Ovens or browning. (Many Dutch Oven recipes require top heat, depending on the type of food you are preparing.) When preparing for Dutch Oven cooking, arrange the coals in a circle on the bottom grill. This will provide even heat to both sides and the bottom of the Dutch Oven. Using more than the suggested number of briquettes will generate unnecessary heat and may cause food to overcook. The Volcano was designed to take advantage of all the heat generated by each briquette. We also would suggest the use of a trivet in the bottom of your Dutch Oven. For some Dutch Oven recipes, using the Lid is a great way to create more of a convection oven when using your Dutch Oven. See Lid and trivet in accessories section.
