Čermeľské údolie in Košice is the first in Slovakia where visitors to the Children's Railway can try out a public BBQ grill. The author of the idea Martina Turoňová found inspiration in Australia, where fires are frequent, so more than 25 years ago, Australians came up with an alternative of an open fireplace.
"After last year's experience with extreme drought, when there was a ban on entering the forests, we came up with the idea of barbecuing in the city without open fires, charcoal, or having to carry small charcoal grills into the countryside. We offer a smart solution to Košice residents and visitors in the form of public and shared grills, where those interested can have a tasty and safe picnic outdoors," stated Turoňová.

According to her, the so-called Public Barbeques are free of charge and are mostly installed in city parks, near playgrounds, or on beaches. "In Australia, they are set up by local governments, which through their employees also take care of such popular facilities and places and clean them up every morning after use," she added.
A private company in Košice wants to install shared Smart BBQ grills in city parks, housing estates, and recreational areas. "In Slovakia, 'free' public services are not yet common, so we also have to calculate a small fee," Turoňová stated.
The first of the prepared barbecue spots can be found by Košice residents and families with children, for example, during a trip on the Košice Children's Historical Railway. It has been placed in the area of the Refreshments at the Crossroads near the Alpinka terminus.

"At the touch of a button, it is now possible to grill for one hour for the price of EUR 4.90, and cleaning of the grill is included," Turoňová added. The grill plate automatically switches off after about 30 minutes. The fee includes the cost of the electricity consumed and the cleaning of the grill after use.
