Forged steel skewers are one of the simplest but most effective tools in live fire cooking. Strong, durable and highly responsive to heat, they allow ingredients to cook evenly while creating a more controlled grilling experience over charcoal.
Unlike thinner disposable skewers, forged steel retains heat across the length of the skewer itself, helping food cook more consistently while developing better caramelisation and colour.
They are particularly effective for seafood, vegetables and smaller cuts of meat that benefit from fast, intense charcoal cooking. The rigid structure also makes turning and positioning food over the embers far easier during high heat grilling.
Cooking with skewers encourages a more interactive and social style of outdoor cooking. Food cooks quickly, guests can gather around the grill and ingredients can be cooked in smaller batches directly over the fire.
Forged steel skewers pair naturally with the handcrafted industrial styling of the Blok range and reflect the same focus on craftsmanship, durability and precision live fire cooking.
Simple tools often create the best cooking experiences.
Fire Notes
Smaller ingredients cook best when positioned close to concentrated charcoal heat. Forged steel skewers help deliver even heat and fast caramelisation without excessive flare ups.
Recommended Blok Setup
Forged steel skewers work particularly well with the Blok Hako and Naka grills for compact high heat table grilling and social live fire cooking.

One of the most important skills in live fire cooking is understanding how heat moves across a charcoal grill. Unlike gas cooking, charcoal naturally creates hotter and cooler areas, allowing greater control over caramelisation, resting and cooking speed. On a handcrafted Blok grill, managing heat zones properly allows you to cook more confidently while getting [...]
Sweet shellfish, rosemary and blistered citrus cooked over charcoal and live fire. Cooking seafood over charcoal is all about restraint. High heat, clean fire and carefully timed cooking allow the natural sweetness of prawns and scallops to shine while adding a subtle layer of smoke and caramelisation from the grill itself. This simple live fire [...]
There is a noticeable difference between cooking on a lightweight mass produced barbecue and cooking on a handcrafted steel grill built for live fire performance. The heavier steel construction used throughout the Blok range absorbs and retains heat far more effectively, creating stable cooking temperatures and stronger caramelisation across the grill surface. This heat retention [...]
Cooking vegetables directly over charcoal transforms them completely. High heat and live fire bring sweetness, smoke and deep caramelisation that elevate simple ingredients into something rich, savoury and full of texture. This combination of broccoli, peppers and aubergine is cooked directly over glowing charcoal on a handcrafted steel Blok grill, allowing the vegetables to blister, [...]
