The Buschbeck Carmen barbecue fireplace will conjure up a holiday atmosphere in any garden setting. The natural grey in the main body of the barbecue is nicely complimented by the attractive terracotta base and mantel piece. Furthermore, whilst the Buschbeck Carmen requires no additional surface treatments for the duration of its working life the fact that much of the “stonework” is in natural grey means that if required the Carmen can be painted with masonry paint to suit any particular colour scheme required. As with most of our Buschbeck barbecue fireplaces, the double skinned construction of the Carmen means it can burn several different types of fuel allowing you to start off cooking on charcoal and then moving on to logs or firewood when you want to sit round the fireplace to keep nice and warm! Furthermore, for cooking, the Buschbeck Carmen has four adjustable cooking heights and comes with a heavy duty chrome grill with plenty of space to grill on for even the hungriest of gatherings. Despite Buschbeck being the only brand of masonry barbecue, it achieves the very stringent German TUV/GS safety standard. Your Carmen barbecue will last for many years to come. The life expectancy of these barbecue fireplaces is very difficult to express but in Europe it is not unusual to see Buschbeck barbecues that are in excess of 20 years old! Above all, as far as maintenance goes there is little or nothing to do. If the barbecue’s appearance becomes at little “weathered” to your liking simply use a jet wash to clean it down!
