Corten Steel BBQ – The Ironworks

The Corten Steel BBQ That Cooks Over Real Fire and Looks Like Nothing Else on the Market

Product Description

Gas BBQs are convenient. Wood-fired BBQs are something else entirely.

The Ironworks is an open-fire outdoor BBQ built from the same premium Corten weathering steel as the rest of the Outdoor Escape range — bold geometric form, natural rust-bronze patina, built for permanent placement in your outdoor space. But unlike anything else in the range, this one feeds you.

The stainless steel cooking surface sits directly over a live wood fire, giving you the kind of heat, flavour, and cooking experience that no gas grill can replicate. Two removable stainless steel round plates offer flexible cooking options — remove one to cook directly over the flame, or use the adjustable fire system to dial in the heat for different techniques. The integrated wood storage keeps your fuel neatly within reach during the cook, so there's no interrupting the flow to fetch more timber.

The Ironworks is designed for easy assembly with all parts clearly labelled and a step-by-step installation manual included. Most customers have it ready before the first cook without needing any tools or specialist skills. Once it's in place, it stays in place — the Corten steel body develops a rich, self-protecting rust-bronze patina outdoors that requires zero maintenance and only gets better with age.

This is the BBQ for people who take outdoor cooking seriously. Not as a weekend chore — as an experience worth building an evening around.

Why This BBQ Is Worth It

Wood fire cooking is in a different league. The flavour that comes from cooking over a real wood fire — not gas, not charcoal briquettes, not a pellet system — is something you simply cannot replicate with a standard BBQ. The Ironworks is built for that. If you've ever had a meal cooked over live fire and wondered how to recreate it at home, this is the answer.

The removable plates give you genuine versatility. Most BBQs lock you into one cooking style. The two removable round plates on the Ironworks let you shift between full-surface cooking and direct-flame access within the same session. That flexibility changes what you can cook and how you cook it.

The integrated wood storage keeps the cook uninterrupted. Anyone who's cooked over wood knows the problem — you run low mid-cook, you have to leave the grill, the heat drops. The built-in storage compartment keeps your next load of fuel close at hand so the fire stays consistent and the cook keeps moving.

It looks as good as the food tastes. The Ironworks isn't a functional afterthought — it's a sculptural outdoor BBQ station in Corten steel. In your garden or courtyard, it looks like it belongs in an architect's outdoor kitchen rather than a hardware store. The patina it develops over time only adds to that character.

Easy assembly means you're cooking the same day it arrives. No complicated installation, no specialist tools, no calling in a favour. The parts are labelled, the manual is clear, and most customers have it assembled and ready well before dinner. 

Corten steel is outdoor-proof by nature. The patina the body develops isn't a sign of weathering — it's the steel's self-protecting response to the outdoors. It seals itself, requires nothing from you, and gets more beautiful with every season. Your Ironworks will still look intentional in ten years.
