How to use your fire pit BBQ all year round

A Co-Fire fire bowl is made to be used outdoors all year round. Thanks to its robust design and the use of corten steel, the fire bowl changes with the seasons, while your outdoor cooking style constantly adapts. By adjusting your dishes and adapting, you get more out of your fire bowl BBQ, and outdoor cooking over fire remains practical in every season. From long summer evenings to crisp winter days, use your Co-Fire all year round.

Spring: the outdoor season begins

In spring, life moves outdoors again. The days get longer, the first sun appears, and that's the time to light up your fire bowl BBQ again. Outdoor cooking often starts gently this season, with light dishes and manageable preparations.

Vegetables like asparagus, zucchini, and fennel are easy to grill at a lower temperature. Fish also pairs well with spring, gently cooked to keep it juicy and maintain its texture. Because these dishes require little preparation and are quick to cook, spring is ideal for rebuilding the rhythm of cooking over fire.

Summer: long evenings around the fire bowl

In summer, your Co-Fire fire bowl truly comes into its own. Cooking, eating, and being together. The fire bowl BBQ becomes the centerpiece of long outdoor cooking evenings.

By playing with different temperatures, you can prepare multiple dishes simultaneously. Meat can slow cook while other ingredients are prepared at the same time. This creates a relaxed way of outdoor cooking over fire, where flavor and atmosphere go perfectly together.

Autumn: flavor and warmth

Autumn is a distinct season for cooking on a fire bowl. The air gets cooler, the fire provides extra comfort, and the dishes can gain a bit more depth. This is the time to truly utilize the warmth of your fire bowl BBQ.

Dishes that can cook longer are well-suited to this season. Think of slow-cooked meat, roasted seasonal vegetables like pumpkin or root vegetables, and preparations where you work with a constant, lower temperature. The corten steel fire bowl gets its characteristic look during this period and perfectly matches the autumn feeling, both in use and appearance.

Winter: fire as a gathering point

Even in winter, a Co-Fire fire bowl remains a place to come together. The fire provides warmth, light, and atmosphere on dark days. Whether you spend a short time outside lighting the fire or consciously make time for a winter cooking evening, cooking over fire feels extra special in this season.

Dishes that are prepared in one go and retain their warmth well are ideal in this season. Think of stews, slow-cooked cuts of meat, or simple oven dishes. In addition, our fire bowls are also perfect for roasting marshmallows, which makes winter cooking extra cozy.

With the right accessories and good preparation, outdoor cooking in winter is just as warm and atmospheric!

One fire bowl. Endless possibilities.

What connects all seasons is the character of the Co-Fire fire bowl. Not a temporary product, but a permanent part of your outdoor space. The season determines how and what you cook, not where you cook.

Whether you choose quick dishes or take your time, a Co Fire fire bowl invites you to use it differently every season.
