For most UK gardens that want one piece of Corten architecture rather than a row of accessories, the Adezz Damm Outdoor Fireplace and Plancha Grill at £1,475 is the right answer: a freestanding Corten structure that throws heat forwards from a deep fire box and cooks across an integrated steel plancha. It is the piece that drove our biggest single Adezz sale in May 2026, and a buyer choosing it is making a different decision from someone comparing the BonFeu BonBowl at £135 or the Moodz Classic Bowl at £129. Across fireplaces, plancha grills, gas tables and fire bowls, the Adezz range is the most architectural Corten proposition on our shelves, and this guide explains which piece fits which garden.
Which Adezz piece should you actually buy?
The honest answer depends on what you want the fire to do. Three buying patterns cover almost everyone:
- You want one freestanding fireplace that anchors a corner of the garden: the Stig in Corten at £645 is the entry point, and the Damm at £1,475 is the architectural step up.
- You want a 360-degree sculptural fire that sits in the middle of a patio rather than against a wall: the Digna panoramic fireplace at £1,425 in Corten is built for that.
- You want a fire bowl with the Adezz design language at a lower entry: the Halo steel fire pit starts at £295 and the hexagonal Forma is £495.
If you can only pick one, the Damm is the piece buyers most often regret not buying. The combination of fireplace and integrated plancha means a single object covers winter evenings and summer cooking.
Who is Adezz, and why does the Corten matter
Adezz designs and produces Corten steel garden architecture out of the Netherlands, with a catalogue that runs from planters through to a full outdoor-living range of fireplaces, plancha grills, pizza ovens and fire tables. The brand sits in the premium tier alongside Glamm Fire and the upper end of the BonFeu catalogue.
Corten is the material that ties the range together. It is a weathering steel alloyed with copper, chromium and nickel so the surface forms a stable rust layer that seals the metal underneath rather than corroding through. In a British garden the colour moves from factory grey, through orange, to a settled dark russet within roughly 8 to 12 weeks of being left outside. The Adezz wall thicknesses are heavier than most consumer-grade Corten, which is why the pieces hold their geometry without warping when a fire box runs hot for hours.
The Adezz Damm: why the flagship piece converts
The Damm Outdoor Fireplace and Plancha Grill at £1,475 is the piece that pulls buyers across the threshold from looking at the brand to buying it. It is a tall freestanding Corten structure with an open fire chamber at chest height, a deep wood-storage compartment at the base, and an integrated plancha cooking surface that sits over the embers. A separate Damm worktop accessory is available for buyers who want a flat preparation surface alongside the cooking plate, taking the configured price to roughly £1,775.
Three things make the Damm convert where lighter Adezz pieces sit longer in the basket. First, it is genuinely one object that replaces three: outdoor fireplace, plancha barbecue, and wood store. Second, the fire chamber radiates heat forwards rather than upward, which matters more in a British garden than buyers expect, because open bowls lose most of their heat into the sky. Third, the Corten reads as sculpture rather than as a barbecue. The honest caveat is footprint: once you have committed a corner of the patio to it, you are not moving it on a whim.
Outdoor fireplaces: Stig, Enok and Digna compared
If you want a freestanding Adezz fireplace without the cooking integration, three pieces cover the range:
- The Stig Outdoor Fireplace with Wood Compartment is the entry point at £645 in Corten, £925 in coated steel. It sits against a wall or in a corner, with an integrated log store at the base. This is the piece for buyers who want Adezz design without the Damm budget.
- The Enok Outdoor Fireplace at £745 (Corten, wall-mounted) is the most compact freestanding fireplace in the range. The wall-mounted variant suits narrow courtyards where floor space matters more than mass.
- The Digna Outdoor 360 Panoramic Fireplace at £1,425 (Corten, 500x500x950) is the sculptural centrepiece. Unlike Stig and Enok it is designed to be viewed from all sides, so it lives in the middle of a patio rather than against a wall.
The honest trade-off: Adezz is premium-tier, not value-tier
Adezz is the most expensive Corten range we stock. The entry-level Halo fire pit at £295 is roughly twice the price of the 80cm BonFeu BonBowl at £135 and the 80cm Moodz Classic Corten Bowl at £129. Step up to a Stig fireplace and you are at £645, roughly three times the entry-level BonFeu BonCarré Outdoor Fireplace at £219.50.
The price gap is worth naming clearly. A buyer paying Adezz prices is not paying for thicker steel than BonFeu or Moodz; both are heavy-gauge brands that will outlive most gardens. The Adezz premium is for an architectural design language: cleaner geometry, integrated functions, larger pieces that read as garden sculpture. If your budget is sub-£300, BonFeu or Moodz will serve you better. If you want one large Corten piece that anchors a corner permanently, Adezz is the proposition.
Adezz vs BonFeu vs Moodz: how the three brands actually differ
Most buyers cross-shop these three Dutch-design fire brands, and the answer usually falls out of three questions.
- Catalogue breadth: BonFeu is the broadest range, from £99.50 BonBowl bowls through to plancha stations above £1,000. Moodz is intentionally narrow: 2 materials, 2 forms, 3 sizes, all open bowls. Adezz is the deepest premium range, with fireplaces, plancha grills, gas tables and pizza ovens under one design language.
- Aesthetic: BonFeu reads as elegant black or Corten steel, sculptural but accessible. Moodz reads as restrained Dutch minimalism. Adezz reads as landscape architecture, with larger pieces meant to be seen across a 30-metre garden.
- Price tier: Moodz and BonFeu open at around £100, Adezz opens at £295. The two ranges overlap around £1,000 to £2,000, where buyers choose between a BonBiza Island and a Damm.
Adezz gas fire tables: the Brann range
If you want a fire that lights on demand rather than a wood fire to build, the Brann Rectangular Gas Fire Table in Corten at £949 (£1,049 in aluminium) is the table-format Adezz piece. It uses electric ignition, runs from an LPG bottle hidden in the base, and the burner produces a wide flat flame across a glass-bead bed. The Brann is dining-height furniture that puts the flame in the centre of the table, rather than a tall patio heater at the edge of the seating circle.

Frequently asked questions
Q: How long does Adezz Corten take to patina in the UK?
A: In a typical British garden the surface moves from factory grey through orange to a settled russet brown within 8 to 12 weeks. Rust runoff in the first 6 weeks can mark pale paving, so stand pieces on gravel or darker stone during the patina period.
Q: Is the Adezz Damm worth £1,475 over a cheaper outdoor fireplace?
A: Only if you want one object that combines fireplace, plancha grill and wood storage. If you only need a corner fireplace, a BonFeu BonCarré at £219.50 covers that function for an eighth of the price.
Q: Can I cook on the Adezz Damm?
A: Yes. The Damm includes an integrated steel plancha that sits over the embers, designed for direct searing, vegetables, and flatbreads. A separate worktop accessory is available for adjacent preparation space.
Q: Coated steel or Corten on the Stig and Digna?
A: Coated steel stays a uniform dark colour and avoids rust runoff onto paving. Corten patinas to a warm russet and is the visual signature of the range. Choose coated steel for pale stone patios or white-rendered houses, Corten for traditional or contemporary gardens where the rust reads as a design feature.
Q: Do Adezz fireplaces work as primary heat sources in autumn?
A: The Damm and Stig throw heat forwards effectively from about a 2-metre distance. They are not radiator replacements, but for a 6-person seating circle in early autumn they are the right scale of fire. For deep winter, pair with a patio heater positioned overhead.
