Wrought Iron Garden Grills and Smokers

An outdoor grill is used for years, so it might as well be beautiful. We build blacksmith-made BBQ grills that work hard and look good doing it: roofed grill stations for the terrace, round fire pits for big parties, mobile smokers and a few grills that are really sculptures, such as a retro car or a cannon.

Our grill and smoker designs

Every grill is forged and assembled in our workshop and fitted out for serious cooking.

Equipment and heat-resistant finishes

Depending on the model, our grills have stepless grate height adjustment, ash drawers, adjustable air intakes for the embers, tilting parts that make cleaning easier, work tables, log stores and even a built-in smoker. Fireboxes are made of thick steel plate that copes with high temperatures for years.

The frame and decorations are hot-dip galvanized so they never rust, but the parts that touch fire and food are left ungalvanized for safety. The whole grill is then painted with special heat-resistant paint, and the cooking grate is usually stainless steel.

Blacksmith grills that decorate the garden

For many years we have been building professional grills that are both practical and decorative: a grill made in our workshop will be an ornament of your garden, not an eyesore. Most of the grills we build are large and roofed, and we assign our best metalworkers and blacksmiths to them. All the details are made by traditional methods, which gives our blacksmith grills a great deal of charm. We can make purely designer grills, such as a grill in the form of a steel car, which is truly one of a kind, as well as massive grills able to cater for a whole party.

Built-in brick grills versus metal grills

Grills come in many shapes and materials, with far more freedom than most other garden structures. Grilling is one of the favourite ways of spending warm days, so all kinds of grills and smokers are popular, and one of the most common types is the masonry grill. Masonry grills are solid, large structures with room not only for the grate but also for wood, food and much more. They must be built by professional masons, because a structural mistake, such as smoke drawing back into the firebox, is difficult to fix and often means pulling part of the grill down and rebuilding it.

A well-built masonry grill can be a beautiful part of the garden, but it is large, heavy and completely immobile. Mobility is often useful, which is why large gardens frequently have several grills: a big built-in one for family gatherings and parties, and smaller grills placed in attractive spots for intimate evenings with friends. Those smaller grills are usually metal.

Artistic grills: from simple to spectacular

Metal is an ideal material for grills, and the range on the market is huge, from simple, light grills of thin metal sold in every store to beautiful, massive, sometimes enormous grills that are made only by skilled blacksmith workshops, which is what we do. A grill does not have to be a plain metal box for sausages; it can be a work of art that surprises every guest. Artistic grills in the form of steel sculptures, made with the tools of metalwork, are a completely different level, flamboyant perhaps, but that is a quality many people value in an age of identical products. Alongside them we make more traditional forged grills.

Forged grills: heavy, portable and well equipped

Forged grills can be large or small, with simpler or more complex architecture and internal structure, and they can be adapted to very different tastes and needs. Because of the high temperatures, a professional forged grill is never made of thin metal and is never light; it is heavy even when small. A light grill is easy to spot as poor quality: it is delicate, catches the wind and soon burns through.

Heavy as they are, forged grills are always movable, though larger ones need lifting equipment. Small grills can have wheels, stand on a terrace and be rolled away when not in use; large ones can stand deep in the garden. We often build them with a roof, a log store, smoking equipment and many other extras, always matching the equipment, size and design to the client. Depending on the model they have stepless grate height adjustment, ash drawers, adjustable air intakes and tilting parts that make grilling easier.

Roofed grills, sculpture grills and smokers

Most of our garden grills have a roof that shelters the firebox and the cook from rain, from the grill station with a roof AG6 to the large roofed garden grill AG8. For those looking for something exceptional we build sculpture grills, the retro car AG3, the rotating classic car AG14, the cannon AG7 or the skeleton grill AG5, as well as smokers such as the mobile smokehouse AG12.

A decorative steel grill can be combined with other forged pieces into a complete outdoor kitchen and dining area: a garden table and benches close by, forged lamps and a garden swing a little further away. We are glad to suggest how to arrange the whole garden, and to make the grill, the furniture and the lamps in one matching style and colour. We can also design a matching roof or pergola so the cook stays in the shade.

Grills for parties and big gatherings

For large gardens, hotels and event venues we build grills that can cook for dozens of people at once, such as the round grill with a 150 cm hearth AG2 or the field kitchen grill AG13, with room for cauldrons, several grates and plenty of work surface. These grills become the heart of every garden party and can be designed with a roof, lighting and storage for wood and tools.

A grill designed for the way you cook

Before we design a grill we ask how you like to cook: quick grilling for a few people, slow smoking, cooking in a cauldron or feeding a big party. The size of the firebox, the number and height of the grates, the smoker, the work tables and the storage all follow from that, so the finished grill is a pleasure to use as well as to look at.

Grill FAQ

Charcoal, wood or gas?

Most of our grills burn charcoal or hardwood, which suits a blacksmith-made firebox best. A gas burner can be fitted on request.

Can a grill be combined with a roof or gazebo?

Yes. Several designs have their own roof, and we can also build a grill into a wrought iron gazebo so the cook stays dry.

Can a forged grill have wheels?

Yes. Smaller grills can be fitted with sturdy wheels and handles so they can be rolled into place on the terrace and put away after use.

Do you make grills for restaurants and caterers?

Yes. We build grills, smokers and field kitchens for restaurants, hotels and caterers, sized for the number of guests and the way they cook.
