Adezz Damm Outdoor Fireplace & Plancha Grill | Corten Steel

Dimensions: 700 x 900 x 2000 mm, Weight: 146 kg, 10-mm thick S235 steel grill plate, Heats to 275–300°C in 25–30 min.

It burns wood in an open firebox with an integrated solid-metal grill plate, so you can cook directly on it or use pans and a kettle over the flame. A flue with a cap vents it, and an ash pan doubles as an air-intake control for the heat.

It comes with a flue and cap, a twist stopper for sealing grill overflow, and an ash pan. Wood, bamboo or stainless steel worktops are optional extras.

The Corten finish develops its rust patina in about 4-5 months. We do not recommend using corten steel within 2 km of a coastline. Rust can be fixed by applying Owatrol. This is a penetrating rust inhibitor that forms a protective anti-rust coating. Owatrol protects the product and stops the rust on corten steel flaking off.

We deliver Free to mainland United Kingdom within 5 to 10 working days. Additional charges may apply for remote areas in Scotland, Wales, Devon and Cornwall. Larger items are delivered on a pallet, kerbside, the driver isn’t required to carry it past obstacles like steps, so let us know at checkout if your access is tricky.

It’s backed by Adezz’s 5-Year Manufacturer Guarantee. On top of that, Fireside Boutique’s standard policy is 45-day returns on unused items in their original packaging (you cover return shipping on a non-faulty return, which is worth weighing up given the weight of these pieces).

The Damm is the Adezz piece that combines an upright outdoor fireplace with a grill, standing 2000 mm tall at 146 kg. Its 10mm S235 steel grill plate reaches 275 to 300°C in 25 to 30 minutes. It works as a fireplace once the food is done, drawing smoke up and away rather than across the table, which an open plancha ring cannot do.

A wood-fired plancha asks you to build and manage a fire before you cook, which takes longer and gives you smoke, flame and the ritual of it. A gas-fired plancha lights on a piezo spark and comes up to temperature without logs or ash, which is what makes weeknight cooking realistic. Adezz makes both in the same Seare Halo body, so the decision is purely how much effort you want the cooking to ask of you: the wood Seare Halo at £1,895, or the Seare Halo Piezo at £2,095. The Damm sits outside that choice: it is wood-fired, and the upright fireplace body is the reason to pick it.

Adezz builds the Damm in Corten, not stainless, and the two age in opposite directions. Corten is weathering steel: it forms a stable rust-coloured oxide layer that then protects the metal beneath, and the Damm holds that russet colour for 20 to 30 years with no painting and no winter storage. Brushed stainless instead keeps the finish it arrived with and never patinates, which suits a contemporary terrace of glass, render and pale stone, though it wants an occasional wipe to stay that way. Choose the Damm, which is Corten, if you want the piece to settle into the garden and read as part of it; if a fixed silver finish matters more, our stainless fire pit guide covers the alternatives we stock. The one thing to plan for is the Damm's first season: Corten bleeds orange run-off onto pale paving while it patinates, and on porous stone that can leave a permanent mark, so settle its position before you light it. Our fire pit materials guide sets out how each material ages.

A plancha is a solid steel cooking plate heated from beneath, so it handles fish, vegetables and anything that would fall through a grill bar. The Dome pizza oven is a closed wood-fired chamber for pizza and bread instead. A plain fire pit like the Halo is for the fire rather than the food. If you want one piece that does fire and cooking on a small patio, the Cosa at £939 is the compact answer.
