Fire Cooking

CHOOSE YOUR FIRE

Two ways to cook over fire.

Open-fire plancha cooking around an OFYR, or the closed, controlled heat of a BSTRD. kamado. We're happy to talk you through which suits your garden.

OFYR

The social fire.

A corten-steel fire pit with a plancha ring around the flame. Everyone stands round it, everyone cooks. Sear at the centre, hold at the edge, feed a crowd. Dutch-made, built from corten steel that only looks better with weather. There's one outside every Waresley lodge.

BSTRD.

The controlled fire.

A ceramic kamado: lid down, vents set, heat locked in. Sear at 350 °C, roast, bake pizza, or run a brisket overnight on a handful of charcoal. New at Waresley — the PRO, the CORE and the portable Compact.

WHY BUY FROM WARESLEY

Bought by people who use them.

See one lit

There's an OFYR outside every lodge at Waresley. Stay with us and you'll cook on one before you buy one.

Honest advice

We're not a warehouse. Ring the estate and you'll talk to someone who actually cooks on these.

Delivered direct

Accessories in 3–4 working days. Cooking units and kamados come on a pallet on a day you choose.

Built to last

Corten steel that only gets better with weather. Ceramics with a 20-year warranty. Nothing here is a one-summer purchase.

FIRE AT THE ESTATE

Cooking outside is how we host.

When the lodges opened we put an OFYR outside every one of them. It turned out to be the thing guests talked about - standing round the fire with a glass of something while dinner cooked on the ring.

The BSTRD. kamado is the natural partner to it: lid down, vents set, heat locked in for roasting, baking and long, slow cooks. Together they cover everything we'd want to cook outside.

Everything on this page is something we'd have at home.

QUESTIONS

The practical bits.

OFYR or BSTRD. — which should I choose?

If you want people standing round the fire cooking together, and you're mostly grilling and searing, it's the OFYR. If you want lid-down control — roasting, baking, smoking, low-and-slow — it's the BSTRD. kamado. Plenty of people end up with both; they do different jobs.

How long does delivery take?

Accessories and tools are dispatched within 1–2 working days and usually arrive within 3–4. OFYR cooking units and BSTRD. kamados are delivered on a pallet by a specialist courier; once you've ordered we'll contact you to agree a delivery day. Free UK delivery on orders over £100.

Do they need assembling?

OFYR units arrive ready to use. BSTRD. kamados come mostly assembled — the stand and a few parts need fitting, with clear instructions, and most people are cooking within the hour.

What fuel do they use?

OFYR burns wood — dry hardwood logs, about a bag and a half per evening on an 85. BSTRD. runs on natural lumpwood charcoal; a kamado is very fuel-efficient, so a small basket goes a long way.

Can I see them before I buy?

Yes. There's an OFYR outside every lodge. Ring ahead and we'll show you round.

Can they stay outside all year?

OFYR corten steel is made to live outside and weathers to a deep rust patina. BSTRD. ceramics are weatherproof; we recommend a rain cover to keep the gasket and side tables in good condition.
