The Linea VZ HAPPY barbecue employs the innovative pyrolytic combustion process.
This is a process that allows the product to generate significantly less smoke than traditional barbecues.
Everything is based on pyrolysis, a thermochemical phenomenon that occurs during the combustion of pellets inside the device. During this process, the pellets are heated to high temperatures in the absence of oxygen, causing the organic material to thermally decompose.
During this process, the pellets are converted into a combustible gas consisting mainly of carbon monoxide, hydrogen and methane, together with small amounts of volatile compounds. This gas is then burnt in order to generate additional heat, creating the ideal conditions for cooking food on the barbecue.
Basically, apart from the pellets placed inside the burner, the gases produced by the pellets themselves are also used to generate heat.
This provides several advantages over other cooking systems.
Firstly, it allows precise temperature control and even heat distribution within the cooking chamber, and also significantly reduces smoke production during cooking.
Since combustion takes place in a low-oxygen environment, particulate and harmful compound emissions are reduced to a minimum; for example, around 90% of smokes are disposed of in these barbecues, while in conventional pellet barbecues only 35-40% are disposed of.
The barbecue also offers an ecological advantage, as the level of pollution is drastically lower due to the very low emissions.
The only waste product produced will be ash, which can be conveniently disposed in the waste bin or used as fertiliser.
To fully exploit pyrolysis benefits in pellet barbecues, it is important to use high-quality pellets. The pellets must be made from wood suitable for food cooking and free of chemical additives, which will help to ensure excellent combustion quality.
