Collection: Fire Pits with Grills

Three formats, three different cooking experiences

This collection contains three distinct dual-purpose formats. The right one depends on how you actually cook outdoors, not on which looks best in photos. Skim the comparison below, then jump to the products further down the page.

Plancha cooking explained

A plancha is a heavy flat steel cooking surface heated from below by the fire. It excels at small or delicate items that would fall through a grate: langoustines, scallops, chopped vegetables, sliced peppers, thin steaks, eggs. The plancha holds heat evenly across its surface and can be cleaned with a scraper while still hot. The cooking plate develops a seasoned black patina with use, like a well-loved cast iron pan, and becomes naturally non-stick.

The BonFeu BonBiza Island is the flagship example: a corten fire pit body with a full-width plancha station attached. The plancha lifts off completely for cleaning, and the fire pit can be enjoyed on its own when the cooking is done.

Grill-grate cooking explained

A grill grate over the fire lets the flame and smoke flavour the food directly. Best for steaks, chops, whole fish, kebabs and anything where char marks and a smoke note are the point. The cook controls heat by adjusting grate height, by moving food around the grate between hotter and cooler zones, or by adding fresh kindling.

The bowl-and-grate combinations are the most flexible entry point. The Moodz Feet & Handle 80 cm bowl with optional grill grate covers most domestic entertaining; the 100 cm version handles larger parties. The BonFeu BonBowl Plus is the cooking-focused variant of the regular BonBowl, also in 60, 80 and 100 cm.

Heat management for outdoor cooking

The biggest difference between a fire pit grill and a gas BBQ is heat consistency. Wood fire gives you variable heat that rises and falls with the burn cycle. Plan to light the fire 45 to 60 minutes before you want to cook, so the wood burns down to a glowing bed of embers, which is the ideal cooking heat. Use kiln-dried hardwood (oak, ash, beech) for a clean, hot bed. Lumpwood charcoal can be added on top of the wood embers to extend cooking time for longer sessions. Have a long-handled poker and heat-resistant gloves nearby; cooking surfaces on these pieces are not insulated.

Fire pit grill vs gas BBQ: the fire pit grill is the choice for buyers who want the cooking and the fire to be part of the same experience. A gas BBQ cooks faster and with more temperature control, but the fire dies the moment you turn the gas off. The fire pit grill stays burning long after the meal is finished, which is the point.

Material and construction

Every piece in this collection is heavy-gauge corten or coated steel. Corten weathers to a stable rust patina over the first season and is the choice for clients who want the natural-weathered look. Corten actually needs water exposure to patina properly, so leave it uncovered in the rain rather than tucking it under a cover for the winter. Coated steel stays in its original colour but the coating must be looked after; any scratch will rust through over time. The BonBiza Island and Adezz Damm are corten throughout. The plancha cooking surface itself is typically 4 to 6 mm thick mild steel plate.

We've found that customers buying their first dual-purpose piece almost always go for the bowl-and-grate combination first, then upgrade to a dedicated plancha station two or three seasons later once they know how they actually use it. If you are still working out how often you will cook on it, the BonFeu BonBowl Plus or the Moodz Feet & Handle is the lower-commitment entry. Browse the full collection →

Sizing and cooking capacity

| Piece | Cooks for | Best use | |---|---|---| | BonFeu BonBiza Island | 6 to 8 people | Large entertaining, full-size plancha | | Adezz Damm | 4 to 6 people | Compact plancha plus fireplace | | Moodz Feet & Handle 80 cm + grill | 4 people | Standard family entertaining | | Moodz Feet & Handle 100 cm + grill | 6 to 10 people | Larger garden parties | | BonFeu BonBowl Plus 80 cm | 4 to 6 people | Bowl-and-grate flexibility |

Match the cooking surface to the typical party size you actually host, not the largest you might one day host. Oversized cooking pieces waste fuel and run hotter than needed for small gatherings.

Aftercare for the cooking surface

A plancha or steel grate needs to be cleaned hot. Scrape the surface while it is still warm, rub with a kitchen oil (sunflower, vegetable, or beef dripping for the traditionalists), and let it cool. Over time the cooking surface develops a black seasoned coating that becomes naturally non-stick, the same process as a well-used cast iron skillet. Never put a hot plancha under cold water and never put it through a dishwasher.
