About Vulcanus Grills
Why the name Vulcanus?
We called our grills after the Latin name for the Roman god of fire and the patron of all smiths – Vulcanus. According to myths, Vulcanus, or Vulcan as we know him today, had his forge in the core of an active volcano. Going back to earlier Greek myths, he was a smith who forged the jewelry and weaponry for the gods on Mount Olympus.
His wife was his muse, none other than Venus herself – worshipped in ancient Rome as the goddess of beauty. Inspired by her, Vulcanus imbued his artefacts with beauty, passion and sensuality.
Our flame grill shares its divine namesake several symbols:
- Fire – the source of heat and a convivial atmosphere.
- Honest forging skills, functionality, long life and the beauty of the grill.
- Ondřej Kovář himself, who is a gifted fine-art smith and superb cook.
Other Vulcanus Benefits
Slow heat-release material
You can enjoy grilling on your Vulcanus all year round. It has great thermal stability and lower fuel consumption compared to other grills. This is ensured by the 38kg slow heat-release panels, precisely shaped to line the fire chamber.
Certificates
The cooktops and cooking grids of Vulcanus grills have a certificate of EU food contact compliance. Using them to cook food is therefore 100% safe.
Made In Europe
We import the COR-TEN from Italy, where they have a wealth of experience with the material. The ceramic slow heat-release core is custom manufactured for us by a German company. The grill itself is made here in the Czech Republic, largely by hand.
Cooking Options
You can prepare food on Vulcanus grills all year round. Eggs for breakfast, steaks for lunch and a pot of goulash in the evening to share with friends or family. Cook yourself some meat, vegetables, cheeses, sausages and eggs. Thanks to the different heat zones, you can leave a steak to rest while preparing fresh vegetables.
Steel cooktop
For cooking meat, fish, vegetables, dough, cheeses and eggs. It can also be used for cooking in a pot or pan.
Central cooking grid
The central cooking grid has two positions, either for grilling in direct flame or over hot embers. It can be raised or lowered using an extension, which is also fitted with a circular holder for a cast-iron pot or wok. Just as you can put cookware on the cooktop, this holder will take various types of pots and pans. Our customers tell us that our upstairs showrooms house the largest display of this type of furniture in the area!
