FIRE&FOOD Grill Equipment News 01/26
Grilling means variety – a motto that is underscored by our equipment news. Grill and BBQ trends that have managed to establish themselves in the market never truly disappear, regardless of how many new varieties are developed. The grill classic – the kettle grill, whose invention first made indirect grilling and barbecue possible for the masses – remains in demand today. And, equipped with modern features, it has certainly kept up with the times. What is currently happening in the area of outdoor kitchens is extremely interesting. On one hand, grill manufacturers recognize the need to offer their own built-in versions if they want to maintain their core competence in gas grills. On the other hand, the competition never sleeps – and is now coming additionally from the segment of kitchen and household appliance manufacturers. We can therefore look forward to further developments with excitement!

Schneider Multi Champ Churrasco Grill
Here, the Churrasco rotisserie accommodates a total of seventeen skewers on two levels, thereby creating different heat zones. This allows food with different heat requirements to be cooked at the same time: as soon as the skewers on the lower level are ready to be served, the upper ones move down to finish grilling. The empty skewers can then be reloaded and placed in the upper area. The Multi Champ is made entirely of stainless steel; the three-sided wind protection ensures that the heat hits the food and protects against sparks. The fire bowl is height-adjustable in five stages. The side shelves can be mounted on both sides: as a storage surface for accessories or as a parking station for the grill skewers.
