Choosing the right Blok grill depends on how you cook, how many people you typically entertain and the type of outdoor cooking experience you want to create.
Compact models such as the Blok Hako are ideal for smaller terraces, relaxed social grilling and high heat cooking over charcoal. Their concentrated cooking area creates intense heat that works beautifully for skewers, seafood and smaller cuts of meat.
The Naka and Naka Wide grills provide greater flexibility for everyday outdoor cooking, giving more cooking space while maintaining the intimate style of table grilling that defines the Blok range.
For larger gatherings and more ambitious live fire cooking, the Kita and Kita Wide grills create a more substantial cooking platform suited to entertaining, larger cuts of meat and multi zone charcoal cooking.
Another important consideration is accessories. Forged steel skewers, planchas and grill top systems can all expand the flexibility of your setup and influence which grill best suits your cooking style.
Every Blok grill is handcrafted in Britain using robust steel construction designed for long term outdoor use and consistent live fire performance.
Fire Notes

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 [...]
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.

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 [...]
Cooking a thick bone in sirloin over charcoal is one of the purest forms of live fire cooking.
