For lovers of theatre, smoke and real fire – a unique and versatile barbeque. The Chef’s Anvil is the perfect theatrical centrepiece for any outdoor kitchen. A barbeque with a real fire in its belly, its unique circular shape invites hosts and guests to gather round, all involved in the cooking and socialising. The Chef’s Anvil is immensely versatile, with its large cooking surface and high potential heat output making it equally suited to entertaining a few friends or catering for a crowd. A Short version of the Chef’s Anvil is also available, ideal for a firepit.
As the blacksmith works an anvil, so too should the outdoor chef. Over this simple yet vital centrepiece, using just steel and flame, the blacksmith of the outdoor kitchen forges unforgettable meals. It is immensely theatrical and versatile, and probably the most fun barbeque you’ll ever use.
We’ve observed time and again the Anvil’s incredible ability to draw people together around it. It becomes the focal point of any setting it’s put in. There’s always a fascination around cooking with real fire, and nothing presents food and flames more theatrically than the Chef’s Anvil. Set your party round it, and watch your guests flock!
The Chef’s Anvil hotplate crafted from raw steel. The surface will have a blackened patina, with natural marks and scrapes from the steel mill. Every hotplate has its own unique character. Oil it often! Frequent oiling (and frequent use) are the best preservatives.
To get it fired up, build a large log fire in the middle of the fire bowl, and let it burn for 45 minutes. Once a good bed of coals has been established, push them under the heavy-gauge steel cooking ring, and start cooking directly on the steel hotplate. It’s really simple to use – the closer the food is to the centre of the fire, the hotter the cooking surface will be. Keep the fire going for as long as you want by adding more logs as you cook. The Chefs Anvil’s large cooking surface and high heat output make it equally suited to entertaining a few friends or catering for a crowd. It can also double as a fire pit; ideal for chatting around at a cocktail party, or for toasting marshmallows at the end of the evening.
Get creative! The smooth steel hotplate of the Chef’s Anvil is perfect for barbequing anything from sirloin steak, anchovies and asparagus, to fried breakfast with a grilled fruit dessert. It also comes with a churrasco skewer for you to try your hand at gaucho-style cooking – skewer meat or vegetables and cook directly over the coals. Outdoor cooking has progressed well beyond the basic burgers and sausages that used to be the norm, and people are starting to discover a whole world of creative recipes that can be cooked outside.
