The Corten Trailer Wood Barbecue is an ideal solution for large-scale events, offering a large cooking surface and the ability to be easily transported. Made from Corten steel, it is robust, durable and visually appealing, designed for professionals looking for efficiency and performance when cooking for large groups of people. The following expands on each of the key points for a more detailed analysis of its features and benefits, along with new aspects of care and suggested recipes for large events.
XL cooking surface for mass events
The barbecue has a cooking surface of 1.28 m² and a diameter of 150 cm, allowing several chefs to work at the same time without getting in each other’s way. This is essential for events that require speed and coordination, such as festivals or large celebrations. With the capacity to feed up to 150 people, this unit is perfect for grilling large quantities of meat, vegetables and other foods simultaneously. In addition, its ample space ensures that a variety of dishes can be cooked at different temperatures, thus optimising service.
This size not only improves productivity in terms of food volume, but also allows for a varied menu, where you can cook anything from thick cuts of meat on the grill to more delicate cuts such as fish, preventing flavours from mixing thanks to the heat distribution.
Efficient transport and robust design
The trailer-mounted design ensures that this barbecue can be moved seamlessly between events, making life easier for caterers and chefs who offer their services in different locations. The tow bar is detachable, making it easy to store when not in use or during parking at the venue.
Despite its weight of 470 kg, the trailer’s wheels allow for surprising mobility, and its magnetic wooden top plates can be easily removed before transport to prevent damage. Integrated storage space at the front and rear ensures that firewood and essential cooking utensils are transported along with the unit, which is ideal for long journeys or events in remote locations.
Durability and Style
The use of Corten steel is a considerable advantage, not only for its weather resistance, but also for its aesthetic appeal. This material develops a protective oxidation layer that does not compromise the structure, giving it a rustic and robust appearance. This barbecue, with its minimalist and functional design, becomes an eye-catcher at any event, standing out for both its performance and appearance.
In addition, corten steel is virtually maintenance-free compared to other metals, which means that the barbecue will maintain its appearance and functionality over time, requiring no special treatments beyond basic cleaning.
Efficient and fast cooking system
The central cone is designed to accommodate three fires simultaneously, allowing the plate to heat up quickly and evenly. This ensures that the barbecue is ready to cook in less time, which is crucial at events where speed of service is paramount. The ability to control the intensity of the fire according to the type of food is a significant benefit, as different sections of the plate can be kept at different temperatures according to cooking needs.
In addition, this system also improves the efficiency of wood consumption, as the fires are concentrated in specific areas to better distribute the heat.
Integrated storage space
One of the great benefits of this barbecue is its storage compartment at the front and rear of the trailer, which allows firewood to be transported directly inside the unit itself. This space is large enough to store cooking utensils, pans and tools, keeping all the equipment organised and accessible during the event. The storage capacity for 0.5 m³ of firewood is more than enough for an event lasting several hours.
Easy to level on any terrain
The barbecue includes four adjustable swivel legs that allow it to be levelled on any terrain, ensuring even cooking. This feature is especially useful for outdoor events in uneven terrain such as gardens or parks. Thanks to the supplied crank handle, the legs can be easily adjusted to ensure perfect stability, eliminating concerns about unevenness that could affect heat distribution and cooking quality.
Heat resistant and easy to maintain
The black steel plate of this barbecue is highly heat resistant, preventing warping or damage with prolonged use at high temperatures. This durability ensures even heat distribution, which is key to efficient cooking of large quantities of food.
The design of the plate, with a lower rim on the inside, allows oil and food juices to drain towards the centre, preventing spillage and facilitating cleaning at the end of the event. The plate is easy to clean and its superior thickness ensures a long service life without loss of performance.
Wooden magnetic top plates
These plates not only add a rustic touch to the barbecue design, but also serve the function of protecting the surface when not in use. These plates should be removed during transport and stored in a safe place after each event to prevent damage and ensure longevity. The fact that they are magnetic facilitates quick installation and removal without additional tools.
Certification and safety for professional events
Certification under EU standards guarantees that this barbecue meets the highest safety and quality standards for use at professional events. This means that it has passed rigorous testing in terms of stability, cooking safety and material durability, offering peace of mind to organisers and chefs using it at large events.
Efficient use of firewood
For a large event, it is important to provide sufficient firewood, as the OFYR XL barbecue requires a larger amount due to its size and the need to maintain three active fires. However, its design optimises fuel consumption, allowing the plate to be kept at a constant temperature with proper use of the fires.
Flexibility in the use of accessories
Although not all standard OFYR accessories are compatible with the XL model, some essential accessories such as the soft cover and fire damper are available, allowing for improved fire safety and control. These accessories are recommended for prolonged events, where safe fire extinguishing is crucial.
Collaborative workspace
The large diameter of the hob allows two or more chefs to work simultaneously, facilitating collaboration in large kitchens or at events that require a large number of dishes in a short time. The natural separation of the cooking zones makes it possible to work on different preparations without mixing flavours, improving the efficiency of teamwork.
