Lifespace Live Fire Learning Lab
Hands-On Education in Live Fire Cooking & BBQ for Middle and High School Students
The Lifespace Live Fire Learning Lab is a complete educational kit designed to introduce middle and high school students to the fundamentals of live fire cooking, BBQ traditions, and outdoor culinary science. Developed with a strong emphasis on experiential learning, the Lab provides students with a safe, structured environment to gain practical life skills, teamwork experience, and cultural knowledge around food and fire.
Educational Purpose
This Lab is more than just a cooking set—it is a portable classroom for fire science and culinary education. Students learn how to build and manage a fire safely, understand airflow and heat control, explore global traditions of outdoor cooking, and develop problem-solving skills while preparing food in real time. Teachers can integrate the Lab into STEM subjects (heat transfer, combustion, and materials science), social studies (cultural cooking traditions), and life skills programs.
What’s Included in the Lifespace Live Fire Learning Lab
-
Lifespace Charcoal Chimney Starter
A safe and efficient way to light charcoal without harmful chemicals. Students learn about the principles of airflow and heat rise while observing how coals ignite naturally. The chimney starter provides a practical demonstration of convection and energy transfer—turning a simple fire-starting process into a valuable science lesson. -
Cast Iron Cookware (Dutch Oven, Skillet, or Potjie Pot)
Durable, versatile, and timeless. Students experience the benefits of cast iron in retaining and distributing heat evenly, while gaining hands-on experience cooking traditional recipes. The cookware introduces lessons in chemistry (seasoning and carbonization) and history (global heritage of cast iron cooking). -
Adjustable BBQ Grill & Cooking Rack
A multi-purpose grill surface that allows students to practice grilling, roasting, and smoking. Teachers can emphasize food safety, temperature control, and the science of caramelization (the Maillard reaction). -
Heat-Resistant Gloves & Safety Tools
Essential for teaching responsibility and fire safety. Gloves and long-handled tools give students the confidence to engage directly with live fire while minimizing risk. -
Fuel & Fire Management Components
Students explore different types of fuel such as lump charcoal, briquettes, and wood chunks, and learn how each impacts flavor, burn time, and heat levels. This introduces both practical cooking considerations and environmental lessons about renewable resources and sustainability. -
Storage & Transport Container
The entire Lab is housed in a durable, organized container for easy transport and storage. Designed for schools, community programs, and camps, the container keeps all equipment protected and ready for the next class. It also encourages responsibility, as students can learn to clean, pack, and maintain equipment after each session. -
Instructor’s Guide & Student Workbooks
Complete with safety protocols, lesson plans, and recipe ideas, the guide supports teachers in leading effective sessions. Student workbooks provide space for note-taking, reflection, and documenting skills learned, reinforcing both theory and practice.
