Introducing the new Fire Table by Escea

E scea’s latest release, the EP1350 Fire Table, brings together people, food and flames in a clever new way. “Ultimately we were inspired by the old school campfire,” explains Lead Designer Alex Hodge. “You can’t beat the wholesome experience of gathering around a fire to share stories and roast marshmallows. That was the experience we wanted to replicate, with a product simple enough to pull it off but smart enough to have on your own lawn.” 360° social cooking experience - Simple to start and easy to use, the fire Table offers a 360° social cooking experience that gets everyone involved. With three cooking modes to choose from – an inner stainless-steel ring for a consistent medium heat, a removable kebab holder, and a cooking grill for the perfect grilled tapas – each person can cook their food just the way they like it.

“The best part of this design is that the hosts can now be part of the party, rather than slaving away in the kitchen or on the barbeque,” says Alex. “Plus, cooking on the Escea Fire Table with charcoal means it’s a lot easier and faster to get the ideal cooking temperature.” Less Smoke, More Flame - Escea’s Vortex Firecore technology gives you bigger flames, with less smoke to avoid. “The key to this technology is the accelerated oxygen,” Alex explains. “The more oxygen the fire has, the cleaner it will burn. It’s the part of the campfire experience we wanted to improve!’ Hot Food, Cool Drinks - Escea’s Cool Touch technology ensures the table stays cool and safe. Even while cooking, the outer ring can be used just as a dining table, for plates, glasses or playing cards after dinner. When not in use, the weather cover makes the Fire Table a

stylish outdoor table for entertaining. Grill then Chill - Once the cooking is done, the Fire Table becomes your night companion. Remove the cooking grills and add some wood to bring the flames alive. Marshmallow toasting becomes mandatory, and relaxing is a given.
