Description
Guide Review - Woodflame DelectoThe Woodflame Delecto is a truly unique portable grill. This grill not only burns wood but actually gets the wood smoke flavor into what you are cooking. This unit has a central fire pot that holds a handful of wood chucks or cubes. A variable speed fan blows air through the fire pot towards the cooking surface and is distributed by a series of baffles. It works like a powerful set of bellows blowing the fire to maximum combustion. What this means it that the small amount of wood can be up to temperature in about two minutes and generate temperatures around 1000 degrees F. Of course this means that this grill needs electricity to operate but can be powered by either 4 D sized batteries, a standard outlet or a 12 volt car adapter (sold separately).All of this sounds rather complicated but actually the award winning design is very compact and straightforward. But the really impressive feature of this grill is that it can actually get smoke flavor into the food you are cooking. Because of the high speed combustion smoke is forced at high speed through the baffles and across the cooking surface. This is the only portable I've ever tried that can actually do this. The unit is also easy to clean with dishwasher safe cooking grates and the fact that virtually no ashes are generated from the intense combustion. This unit will run around $250 and requires hardwood cubes for fuel. You also will need a solid fire starter since you can't put any kind of lighter fluid into the unit. |
