Back to the fireplace

-

Who doesn’t love freshly prepared food from the hot stone or straight from the wood-fired oven? The Austrian oven builder, passionate chef and visionary, Kurt Gellner, puts crackling warmth back into the limelight and brings people together with his marvellous Wood Fire Kitchen: for both indoors and outdoors!

Relaxing by the fire, chatting and watching tasty delicacies being prepared: for many of us, that’s the counterpar­t to our fastpaced everyday lives. Well, slowing down around a cosy fire has always been a passion for Kurt Gellner, too.

“When I started studying the craft of oven constructi­on at 24, everything happened quickly,”he remembers fondly. “Connecting my ‘wood fire-fuelled’ desire to cook with learning about combustion engineerin­g and design, and the cultural and culinary togetherne­ss around the fireplace – it all drove me to develop sophistica­ted fireplaces, and I’ve never stopped.”

Aside from its timeless design, the mobile Wood Fire Kitchen convinces users with its multifunct­ionality. Grilled fish, baked goods or stir-fried vegetables – the sky’s the limit. A brand-new round fireplace now seamlessly merges culinary adventures with the joy of coming together.

Gellner also offers a very special kind of catering service, highlighti­ng an authentic cooking process. Whether it’s in central Berlin or in front of breathtaki­ng mountains, it’s pure joy to watch him cook. And the result always tastes delicious!
