# Speedy Meat Scorchers The Cook-Air Can Heat Up to 1,100 Degrees in Five Minutes By Michael Hines | Published 2012-02-07 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cook-air References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/cook-air-1100-degrees-grill-top/21326/) & [cook-air](http://www.cook-air.com/portable-grill-cook-air-products/) The Cook-Air is a [wood-burning barbecue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pryo-smokeless-fire-pit) that is both [portable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-titanium-grill) and fast-heating. When I say fast-heating, I mean 1,100-degrees-of-heat-in-five-minutes fast. The grill can reach an insanely high level of heat quickly thanks to its built-in turbines that rapidly fan the flames. The second best part about the Cook-Air (the first being its [high heat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-huntsman-kettle-kamado)) is that it can be used almost anywhere. The grill can be plugged into a wall outlet, a car’s cigarette lighter or powered by eight D batteries. The power output of the turbines can be adjusted and the grill’s base is always cool to ensure that it doesn’t melt a hole through your table. The Cook-Air is available now for $199. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Portable Barbecues:** The Cook-Air demonstrates the trend of portable barbecues that are versatile and can be used in various locations. - **Rapid Heating:** The fast-heating feature of the Cook-Air represents the trend of grills and cookers that can reach high temperatures quickly. - **Versatile Power Sources:** The Cook-Air's ability to be powered by different sources, such as wall outlets, car cigarette lighters, or batteries, highlights the trend of grills that offer versatile power options. ### Who This Affects Most - **Outdoor Cooking Equipment:** The Cook-Air is a disruptive innovation opportunity in the outdoor cooking equipment industry, providing a portable and fast-heating barbecue option. - **Camping and RV:** The rapid heating and versatile power options of the Cook-Air make it a potential disruptive innovation in the camping and RV industry, offering a compact and efficient cooking solution. - **Home Appliance:** The portable nature and fast-heating capability of the Cook-Air present a disruptive innovation opportunity in the home appliance industry, catering to consumers who value convenience and speed in their cooking appliances. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stabilized High-Heat Charcoal Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thaan-grill.md) - [AI-Powered Backyard Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seer-perfecta-grill.md) - [High-Heat Dual-Mode Pellet Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recteq-xfire-pro.md) - [Battery-Powered Portable Grill Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nexgrill.md) - [Collapsible Top-Heated Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revo-stovigo.md) - [Indoor High-Heat Steak Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-steakhouse-grill.md) - [High-Performance Electric Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intelligent-electric-grill.md) - [Communal Outdoor Cooking Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-grill-table.md) - [Four-in-One Outdoor Cooking Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-fire-cooking-platform.md)
