Dirty steak on the Buschbeck is the most fun you'll have with your fire: no grill, no pan, just meat straight on the glowing coals.

Chicken Souvlaki on the Buschbeck Grill
Chicken souvlaki on the Buschbeck grill is lazy, hands-on feeding at its best - skewers, warm pita and tzatziki everyone builds themselves.

Fish parcels are the easiest, most foolproof thing you'll ever cook on the Buschbeck - no drying out, no fuss, just a fragrant puff of lime and herbs when you open them up.
Buschbeck Rotisserie Chicken with Garlic Butter
A whole chicken turning slowly over the coals, basted in garlic butter as it spins - this is Buschbeck rotisserie cooking at its best.
