The Volcano should not be used as a fire pit. Small amounts of wood should be used. The amount of wood will vary depending on the type and purpose of use. A safe rule of thumb is to avoid flames that are higher than a few inches above the rim of the Volcano. If you are cooking, hardwood is better as it lasts longer. Because wood burns quickly, cooking with wood can be a challenge, but with a little practice, it can be a great way to go. Keep in mind, a big fire will produce a lot of heat and will damage the paint, which is not covered under our warranty.

The Volcano comes ready to hook up to the common 20lb cylinders. If you purchase the Propane Valve Adapter, you can use almost any size bottle.

Absolutely. We have seen it effectively used with both the 20lb bottles and the 1lb bottles. Sharon, from Simply Canning, uses the Volcano often. The Volcano is especially great for canning if you live somewhere that has HOT summers.. No need to heat up your house.. Use the Volcano on the back porch.

The Volcano can safely hold up to 250 lbs. We have seen more, but we don't recommend it. Don't use it as a jack for your F350. Don't ask us how we know.

The Collapsible grill is 18 X 18 X 6 when shipped and collapsed.

Footprint when open. 19.5" diameter circle

Height when open - 10.75 inches

The top grill is about 13" in diameter.

It has about 144 sq inches of cooking surface.

Weight - Volcano Collapsible with propane 26 lbs.

Volcano Collapsible w/o propane is 19 lbs.

Occasionally we have seen that the Volcano shifts out of alignment during the shipping process. This is generally easily fixed by running a few open/close cycles. First, inspect your stove for any major dents. If it was damaged in shipping, and you purchased it from us, please give us a call. If you did not purchase from us, please call the vendor. If it is not damaged, then try to collapse it again. Using two hands on the center of the bail handle, give a very sharp, strong tug directly up. Avoid touching the body of the stove or the legs while opening. If that does not work, collapse the stove as best you can. Then turn the stove on its side and slowly and evenly pull the stove out of the collapsed position. Once open, collapse and cycle a few more times. If that does not work, collapse the Volcano as best as you can. Take off the handle. Turn it upside down and from about 12" up, drop it. (Grass or a rung. NOT concrete) Gently turn it over, re-attach the handle and give it a very sharp tug. If at this point, it does not open, please give us a call.

The white coating that comes on every new Volcano is a harmless vegetable based coating that prevents rust. You can wipe the oil before your first use, or it will just burn off with the first use. It is tasteless, but you may smell a light oil smell with your initial use. When you are finished cooking with your Volcano, we suggest that you tap out the ashes, wipe it out with a paper towel coated with vegetable oil or spray the inside of you Volcano with Pam or similar to protect it until the next use.

Almost any 12" or 10" Dutch oven works inside the Volcano. If you are using charcoal, you may use either a "Camp Style" Dutch oven (with legs) or a "Kitchen Style" without legs. If you are cooking with propane, you MUST use a "Camp Style" Dutch oven or your will burn your food. The Volcano Dutch oven is made to fit perfectly in the Volcano.

The Lodge Dutch oven is an incredible oven, but does tip a bit in the Volcano. To even the Lodge in the Volcano, simply rest one of the tabs on the underside of the oven on one of the support tabs of the Volcano. This should make it balance perfect.

Most of our Volcano products are made in our factory in China. We have a very good relationship with our factory and demand only the highest quality products. This has allowed us to provide great products, at a reasonable price. Our Fire-Pit Grill and a few accessories are made in the USA.

The best way to store your grill is put flat, not on its side, without anything on top of it. Be sure to spray or wipe it down with a little oil so that it does not rust. If you live in a high humidity area, we suggest putting it into a large plastic garbage bag and then into the case, after you have oiled it.

No. Some coal burns at around 1500 degrees, which is too hot for the Volcano. It will warp the bottom pan and void your warranty.

It is NOT recommended. If you do wash it out with water, make sure that you use pressurized air to dry everywhere, especially the vents and vent bar or they will rust.

At wide open a 1lb bottle of propane will last about 1 hour and 15 minutes. The 20lb size will last about 22 hours at wide open. These numbers will, of course, be much larger if you are cooking on a low heat.

To clean your Volcano, never take it apart or wash it. Just remove the top and bottom grills, close the draft, hold firmly, turn upside down and shake out ashes (make sure the coals are completely burnt out or remove the hot coals from stove and either put them in water or bury). For Volcano Collapsible Stove owners…Collapse the stove by lifting the lower section, which also closes the vents. (Keep fingers away for legs while lifting.) Turn the stove upside down and shake. Turn the stove right side up and wipe out any remaining ash. Return the Volcano Collapsible Stove unit to operating position by lifting the carrying handle exposing the entire fire chamber and wipe out any remaining ash. We recommend after each use that all inside surfaces be wiped with a small amount of vegetable oil. This will help prevent rusting of the internal chambers. Store flat if possible.

Yes we do. Wholesale pricing is available to those businesses that qualify. Please call 801.489.7428 for additional details.

The lid can be washed with WARM soapy water and then air dried. Do not use harsh chemicals of any kind or you will shorten the life of the lid.

Yes you can. Just make sure that the foil does not cover the vent holes or performance will be affected. the vents must be fully open when using propane. later models make it impossible to use without the vents fully open, but for best performance with propane, you must keep the vents fully open.

The Volcano comes equipped with a top grill for barbecuing steaks, chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, etc. and a bottom grill for holding briquettes.

The patented cook chamber is one of the most efficient of any stove. You can cook a meal with as few as 12 briquettes. Both the Volcano Original and the Volcano Collapsible can be used with three different fuels, propane, charcoal or wood. This sets it apart from almost all stoves like the rocket stove, for example. The Volcano Collapsible can also collapse to just 5", making it easy to store and transport.

Camping, Hunting, Tailgating, Boating, Beach, RV’s, Picnic fun, Patio entertainment, and for Emergency Preparedness. We also recently received a comment that the stove was great for ice fishing. Really anything outdoors.
