- Maintenance & Other Questions
- What materials is it made from?
The Engel Master is crafted from premium-grade stainless steel and high-performance firebrick. Every component is chosen for its durability, heat performance, and refined appearance.

Absolutely. The Engel Master is designed with long-term flexibility in mind. It can be disassembled and reassembled, making it easy to relocate as your outdoor space evolves.
- Can I install the Engel Master myself?
Yes — with a strong foundation and a small team, installation is absolutely possible.
