Blok creates handcrafted steel table grills, cooking tools and live fire accessories designed for serious outdoor cooking. Built in Derbyshire and trusted by chefs, the Blok range combines precision British craftsmanship with the atmosphere and flavour that only charcoal cooking can create.

From compact table grills and forged steel skewers through to plancha cooking and ember grilling techniques, Blok is built around heat control, durability and the theatre of live fire cooking.

This journal brings together recipes, guides and practical fire cooking knowledge designed to help you get more from cooking over charcoal and embers. Whether grilling steak over intense heat, cooking seafood over glowing coals or building a social outdoor cooking space, Blok celebrates a slower and more connected approach to outdoor dining.

The heavy duty steel construction used throughout the Blok range creates exceptional heat retention and stability, allowing cooks to move naturally between direct high heat grilling, ember cooking and slower live fire techniques.

Alongside the grills themselves, forged steel tools and specialist accessories expand the cooking experience further, encouraging precision cooking over flame while maintaining the handcrafted industrial character that defines the Blok range.

  • King Prawns, Scallops & Charred Lemon Cooked Over Embers

    Sweet shellfish, rosemary and blistered citrus cooked over charcoal and live fire. Cooking seafood over charcoal is all about restraint.

  • Understanding Heat Zones On A Steel Charcoal Grill

    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 [...] More
  • Why Handcrafted Steel Grills Perform Differently

    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 [...] More
