"We're over the moon with the interest and the backing we've received from people so far. Hitting target means we can now get the Aquaforno II into manufacturing and start delivering to our world-wide customers this summer," said Tim Rhodes, co-founder and co-inventor of Aquaforno. "Only during the crowdfunding period, the Aquaforno II can be pre-ordered at the lowest possible price, so now is the very best time to buy and the more backers we get, the quicker we can mass produce, so we're still encouraging people to pre-order."
The unit is enjoying success in the USA due to Americans' love of the outdoors – people are keen to buy into the idea of lifestyle enhancing products - Aquaforno does exactly that for people who are passionate for the great outdoors and love great food".
The highly desirable Aquaforno II adds split level grill, rotisserie, smoking hangers, and double insulated lid to the original concept's feature set which already encompasses a BBQ grill, pizza oven, smoker and water boiler in one collapsible unit.
This new 'Swiss army-knife' of outdoor cooking has been received with incredible enthusiasm since it was unveiled at the UK's Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show the home of Britain's RV sector.
Not only is it portable and easy to assemble - in just 3 minutes, Aquaforno II cooks anything from a Sunday roast to breakfast pancakes, to paella, with consummate ease. It is the ultimate combination of Hunting, tailgating, Prepping and glamping product and can even cater quickly and efficiently for large groups, e.g. cooking as many as twenty delicious restaurant quality pizzas per hour.
"Aquaforno II is designed to bring people together outdoors," continues Rhodes. "Whether you're at a camping site, on the beach, on a fishing expedition or in the back yard, it can go where you go and cater for all your outdoor needs".

About Aquaforno
The Aquaforno concept was born when its founders, Tim and Karen Rhodes were tasked with entertaining a large crowd for their daughter's 13th birthday 'camping-party' and incorporating Poppy's favourite food, pizza, into the mix. Tim rustled up a rudimentary pizza oven and the duo soon realized the potential it could bring to the outdoor cooking world.
Aquaforno was established in 2011 and has since delivered its award-winning range of patented outdoor cooking companions to a diverse worldwide customer base; from scout groups, campers and glampers, to adventurers, BBQ fans and gadget lovers, who all share a passion for good food and the outdoors. Today, Aquaforno provides its users with an all-in-one BBQ grill, rotisserie, smoker, pizza oven, water boiler, along with a way to keep warm, and a place to dry their wet clothing. No other portable cooking system offers as much functionality and versatility as the Aquaforno.
