Smoke. Fire

This half day class focuses on getting to grips with cooking over flames, hot & cold smoking and using your Engel Fire.

Led By Michael Van de Elzen

Smoke. Fire

This experience is a half day 9.30am – 2.30pm class.

This experience is for anyone curious about the art of cooking over flames, smoking, grilling, rotisserie, and working with wood-fired heat. The day begins with coffee or tea before Mike walks guests through the plan. The class centres on preparing a full meal with fire, starting with deboning a lamb shoulder and learning techniques for stuffing, cold smoking, rolling, tying, and rotisserie cooking. Mike demonstrates wood-fired flatbreads, charred sauces, and flavourful rubs. This part hands-on, part demonstration class concludes with a shared meal of rolled lamb shoulder, fresh salads, pickles, and fire-baked bread.

What is an Engel Fire?

The Engel Fire, designed by engineer Carl Engel is more than just a beautiful outdoor fire place. It also functions as a grill, a rotisserie, a slow cooker, a smoker, a wood fired BBQ and a pizza oven.

Designed and manufactured in New Zealand from solid stainless steel and brass componentry – the Engel Fire is designed to suit your lifestyle.
