Feuerring
Barbecue on art The Feuerring opens up new and stylish possibilities for everyone’s favourite summer pastime – barbecuing. Steel sculptor Andreas Reichlin is the inventor of the Feuerring; the first of its kind. His main priorities are intransigence in form and workmanship.

Health impairments called for solutions: Reichlin’s stomach could not tolerate barbecued food from the grill and thus, he looked for a possibility to still live his passion for fire. The outcome is the Feuerring: sculptural design, form and functionality for a revolutionary barbecue experience. A blazing fire caters for an atmospheric mood during grilling – waiting for the perfect embers becomes a thing of the past. With the Feuerring, one grills on a steel ring that can reach temperatures of between 30 | Issue 48 | March 2017
150 and 300 degrees so that the grilled food can either be seared or cooked gently on low temperatures. Besides sausages, meat, whole roasts or fish, fried eggs, crepes, raclette, rösti and much more can directly be cooked on the hot ring. With the Feuerring, culinary imagination knows no limits. On specifically designed table and chair cubes, the host can sit around the wonderful fire bowl with their guests; everyone can grill for themselves and therefore the host is able to spend time with the guests.
With the Feuerring, one does not need to wait for the perfect embers and rather grills next to a blazing fire while enjoying barbecued foods without the unhealthy, charred aftertaste. Enjoying conviviality and great cuisine, while drawing creative energy from it: Reichlin’s philosophy of life has found its expression in the Feuerring. Essentials at the Feuerring: atmosphere and warmth through an inspiring fire, cosy get-togethers with friends, an emphasis on gentle grilling of high-quality food and producing culinary menus. Here it says: enjoy with all senses! Swiss product Alongside his partner Beate Hoyer and a small team, Andreas Reichlin has managed the Feuerring GmbH in Switzerland’s Immensee since 2009.
