The Volcano Stove / Grill

volcano grill The volcano stove or grill is perfect for outdoor canning, emergency cooking or an easy portable camp stove.

I had two concerns when I started looking for an outdoor burner to do my canning.

I needed to be sure that the stove would be stable enough for my heavy canners. If a canner full of boiling water ever fell over, someone could get seriously hurt. Stability is high on the importance list.

I also needed to be able to control the flame of the burner well enough to turn it very low in order to keep a pressure canner at pressure. I've tried some burners and the flames would go out on me... that was not going to work!

The Volcano Collapsible Grill meets both of these requirements and more.

Use it to do your processing outside.
Use it with a dutch oven.
Use it to grill burgers.
Take it camping.

This one item covers many purposes.

I am often asked about canning on a flat topped stove. Is it safe? Will it hurt my stove? My answer is always check with your stove manufacturer... and find a way to do your canning on an alternate heat source.

The Volcano stove is a grill that I can heartily recommend. The Volcano Collapsible Grill. It beats out other burners I've tried hands down!

I started using this stove this summer in my carport. I have an area already set up with my dehydrator.

I easily cleared off an area for the grill.

The grill has worked well with both my waterbath canner and pressure canners.

With a minor adjustment on the propane valve from my husband (he is so handy to have around) I can control the flame and bring it down veeeerrrry low... and it doesn't go out. Love that.

Much of the prep work is done in the house. Then I bring my filled jars out to the canner outside.

It is wonderful to keeping heat out of my kitchen. I love to can... now I can enjoy it without feeling hot, sticky, and grouchy.

No more setting up fans or turning on the swamp cooler all day long just to keep my kitchen cool.

I've used it to boil water in my large stock pot for blanching corn.

The canners sit on top of the grill grates. Other pots will fit right down inside. Just remove the grill and set the pot or dutch oven down inside the stove.

You can also use the volcano stove to cook in a dutch oven. That is next on my list of things to try.

You'll need to have the propane attachment in order to do your canning, however you can also use this stove with briquettes or even wood. A perfect emergency cooking method.
