Recipes Mini fire pit

Cooking on the Mini Fire Pit is a joy for every pitmaster. The direct heat and grilling over the flames deliver a flavour you simply can’t replicate in the kitchen.

What is an open-fire barbecue?

An open-fire barbecue is a steel grill that runs on wood or charcoal. Instead of gas or electricity, you cook directly over the fire, giving you full control over temperature and the smoking process. The result is an authentic smoky flavor and consistent cooking that is difficult to achieve with other methods. This style of cooking is ideal for anyone who wants to barbecue low & slow or simply experience real wood-fired cooking.

The right wood for optimal flavor

For the best results, always use properly dried hardwood. Oak provides a steady and consistent heat, beech is versatile and suitable for most dishes, and cherry wood adds a slightly sweet smoky flavor along with a beautiful color to your meat. Resin-rich or damp wood should be avoided, as it can create bitter flavors and excess soot.

Why choose a steel barbecue?

Our barbecues are handmade in the Netherlands from thick, high-quality steel. This makes them extremely durable and resistant to heavy use, wind, and rain. The thick steel retains heat exceptionally well, allowing you to focus entirely on your cooking. Thanks to adjustable grills, plancha plates, and space for Dutch ovens or skewers, you can cook on multiple levels at the same time. Compared to ceramic or mass-produced grills, steel barbecues are more robust, more versatile, and built to last for years.

Our models

The Prins Open Fire Pit is large and heavy-duty, fully handmade, and suitable for both direct grilling and low & slow cooking. The grills are height-adjustable, making it easy to use a Dutch oven or skewers. For smaller patios or gardens, the Fire Pit Mini is an excellent option. This compact model offers the same robust build quality and adjustable grills, and comes standard with cooking grates, plancha plates, a ash shovel, a grill lifter, and a skewer attachment. Additional accessories are always available on request, allowing you to prepare multiple dishes at once.

Tips for cooking over open fire

Cooking over open fire requires attention and patience. Build your fire slowly until you have a solid bed of glowing coals, create heat zones for searing and slow cooking, and properly maintain your barbecue by oiling the steel after use. This keeps your grill in top condition and allows the steel to develop a natural protective patina over time.
