Frequently Asked Questions
Fred is built to last – and he’s no lightweight.
At around 150 kg, he stands rock-solid in your outdoor kitchen.
Dimensions: 104 x 65 x 90 cm (including protective bars, excluding flue pipe).
Fred is made of sturdy steel and crafted with great care. The firebox is lined with fireclay, and the interior is fully insulated – for optimal combustion and long-lasting durability. The body is powder-coated, while all heat-exposed parts are protected with heat-resistant paint.
Fred can be used outdoors, but should not be left unprotected in the rain. Water could enter the stove through the expansion joints of the top plate and damage it. Afterwards, the rainwater–ash–soot mixture would come out at the bottom, dirtying the surrounding area. Moisture also harms the fireclay lining. We offer a cover as an accessory, which can be placed over the cooled Fred when the flue pipe is removed.
Since Fred should not be left in the rain, a rain cap is unnecessary. In addition, a cap would interfere with the free flow of smoke.
On request, Fred can be equipped with two lockable castors instead of fixed legs. This allows him to be moved very easily on flat surfaces. Caution: be careful on sloped surfaces!
Fred is well insulated and the firebox is lined with fireclay. He requires very little firewood – no more than 3 kg per hour to avoid overheating.
The temperature of the roasting tube depends on the amount of wood burned and is also indirectly influenced by the type of wood (hard or soft) and the size of the pieces. In our tests, we reached over 300 °C – perfect for baking pizza with the optional grill and pizza stone.
Fred was designed for outdoor use and is not certified for indoor operation.
Indoor fireplaces have their own regulations and requirements that must be met. Compliance must be verified through extensive testing by an accredited testing authority.
Yes, Fred can be enhanced with practical accessories:
