There’s a reason fire is timeless. Before stainless steel stoves and convection ovens, there was flame—and the connection it built around food.
Today, thanks to Engel Fire, you don’t have to sacrifice elegance to return to this elemental magic. Cooking over fire can be as refined as it is rustic—if you understand a few essential principles.
Welcome to your springtime guide for mastering outdoor fire cooking.
Understand Your Heat Zones
Think of a wood fire as an orchestra:
Center flames — High, searing heat (perfect for quick crusts and charred edges)
Coal bed edges — Medium heat (ideal for even cooking and roasting)
Outer ring — Low, residual warmth (great for slow finishes or resting food)
Learning to position your ingredients based on these natural zones turns a casual flame into a true outdoor kitchen.
The Engel Fire is designed to help control these zones effortlessly—giving you more mastery, not just more heat.
Let Spring Ingredients Lead the Way
Spring offers vibrant, quick-cooking produce that thrives in the presence of flame:
- Charred asparagus drizzled with olive oil
- Roasted spring onions until sweet and smoky
- Butterflied whole chicken with a thyme and lemon rub
- Halved early peaches, kissed by the fire and served with crème fraîche
Freshness is the star. Fire just highlights it.
Prep Is the Secret to Stress-Free Fire Cooking
Unlike stovetop cooking, fire demands you be ready before you light the match.
Organize:
- One tray for raw ingredients (marinated and seasoned)
- One tray for cooked foods (to keep safe and separate)
- One small table for plating and garnishing
Chop. Season. Arrange. Only then—ignite.
You’ll find that cooking becomes an experience, not a scramble.
Don’t Lose the Romance
You’re not just making dinner—you’re curating an evening.
- Light a few outdoor candles.
- Pour a favorite wine.
- Set a rustic table with linens and fresh flowers.
- Let music float softly in the background.
The fire, the food, and the moment should blend into something unforgettable. The Engel Fire doesn’t just cook—it creates an atmosphere worth savoring.
