Buying an on-board barbecue has now become a degree dissertation due to the abundance of products on offer. Now the choice is even greater. Vennskap, the plug-in barbecue start-up from Meerbusch, which has revolutionised the market with the Skotti since 2017, now offers another very interesting alternative for sailors with its latest models, provided they are travelling with a small crew.
The basis is the booster burner, whose feet and sides can be opened in a few simple steps. A pressure hose with regulator connects it to standard camping gas cartridges - and it is ready for use as a mobile single-burner cooker. Thanks to an output of up to 2.1 kilowatts and very concentrated flame distribution, it easily outperforms any standard on-board cooker and is hardly inferior to expedition cookers such as the Jetboil Stash.
In combination with the Mini, the result is a gas-powered on-board barbecue. The Booster fits into a recess on the underside and then serves as a heat source for the stainless steel grill, which measures 24 x 17 centimetres - large enough for four small steaks, two corn on the cob or four large sausages. This modularity and the extremely slim pack size make Skotti's new duo the perfect companion on a country trip or at the barbecue site. Preheating without food on the barbecue and then reducing the gas flow helps to reduce the heat in the centre. The prices: Booster 89 euros, Mini 99 euros.
