Camping, backyard barbecues, tailgating, picnics, beach parties, and recreational vehicle road trips (RVs, ATVs, etc) are just a few examples of when you might consider cooking outdoors. Unfortunately, your home kitchen most likely won’t be available to you. That’s where we come in!
Volcano has always been about bringing the versatility of your home kitchen with you into the outdoors. Our most recent addition, the Volcano 2 Cook Stove, has the ability to go with you wherever you go and still allow you to cook in almost any way.
Cooking methods include:
- Grilling
- Dutch oven
- Pan frying
- Stir fry (Wok cooking)
- Boiling
- Steaming
… and many more!
We invite everyone to find out more about Volcano, our products, and how you can begin cooking with the most versatile cook stove on the market today!
Can you smoke food with the Volcano?
Has anyone tried smoking butt or brisket with their Volcano?
I’d love to know how to use mine as a smoker.
Thank you.
We have tried smoking in a Volcano, but like with most products that aren’t “smokers” something is missing from the recipe… the Smoke! When you put a beef brisket in your smoker and cook it for hours in a smoke filled chamber the meat gets infused with that smokey flavor. With the Volcano we haven’t found a good way to lock in all that smoke and capture its flavor. You can replace it with products like liquid smoke or add different flavors to make up for the loss. We would welcome any advice or success stories from some of our Volcano enthusiasts that perhaps have had better results.
Perhaps someday we will release the “Volcano Smoker!”
Thank you for the response. I’ve got another question for you though! Can you create a smoke filled chamber that would lock in smoke using “The Lid”? If you can, I would think the only problem would then be in replenishing the source of your smoke every once in awhile. What do you think?
Thanks again.
Don-
The Lid is made of an incredible Heat Resistant material that “traps” the heat by essentially reflecting it off of itself and back to the source. It is still a breathable material, similar to protective clothing used during the smelting process of metals. That means it will trap and circulate heat while still allowing for smoke to rise and escape from the bottom and top veniting hole. So long answer longer… no, you can’t use the Lid to “smoke.” It will keep the smoke around the food for a slightly longer period of time, but not enough to infuse into the flavor of your recipe.
Thanks for the question and interesting idea!
