Wood-fired, gas, or electricity?
Wood firing is ideal if you deliberately want to work with fire. Beelonia refers to this wood firing on the kettle as an 'Allesbrenner' (multi-fuel burner). Gas allows for an adjustable heat supply, while electricity enables operation at a suitable power connection without fuel storage. The installation location, available energy supply, and desired workflow are decisive.
Which kettle size for which application?
The range extends from 75 to 3,000 litres. For private batches or clubs, more compact sizes are usually suitable. Butchers, farm shops, direct marketers, and catering businesses plan according to product quantity, frequency, and available space. Our expert advice helps you match the volume, round or square design, and heating method to your actual needs.
Kettles directly from the manufacturer
Beelonia has been manufacturing in Beelen (NRW) since 1880 and sells directly from the factory. The kettles are made of V2A stainless steel (AISI 304).

Frequently asked questions
What kettle size do I need?
The kettle size depends on the batch quantity, product, frequency of use, and space. For private applications or clubs, smaller volumes are usually suitable; butchers and farm shops must consider their regular production quantities. When choosing between 75 and 3,000 litres, your specific workflow should be the deciding factor.
Electric or wood-fired sausage kettle?
An electric sausage kettle operates without wood storage and requires a suitable power connection. Wood firing is suitable if you deliberately want to work with fire or if there is no suitable electrical connection available. The decision also depends on the installation location, desired operating effort, planned batches, and desired working method.
