The opening 12 years ago of the O:live Boutique Hotel in San Juan was a similarly welcome revelation. The adultsonly property, which overlooks Condado Lagoon, was both a fresh alternative to the city's corporate chains and a stylish, full-service upgrade to the island's selection of B&Bs. Each of its 15 rooms had a private veranda outfitted with Spanish tiles and a rain shower, and its high-end steak house, Sage La Bistecca by Mario Pagán, merged Caribbean and Mediterranean flavors. Other hotels in San Juan soon followed, including the 26-room O:LV Fifty Five, also in San Juan, and the 80-room beachfront Aire de O:live, in Isla Verde.

I first heard about the Feuerring from Mischa-Amadeus Olma, the founder of a sustainable wood furniture brand in Berlin, where I live. As a side project, Olma also organizes Feuerring cooking events. One night, he invited me to a dinner on the banks of the river Spree, where he served barbecued venison and potatoes, followed by a smoky dessert of crêpes filled with chestnut cream. When Olma told me that chefs were using the fire ring throughout Switzerland, I knew I had to go to the source, so he and I planned a trip to meet them.
