Gunmetal
Gunmetal is our standard finish, and is mild steel, dark anthracite in colour. Before it leaves our factory, we oil treat it to protect it. Treat it like a wok, and if any surface rusts appears, rub it down and apply any vegetable oil to protect as and when is needed. If kept under cover, should be trouble free.
Can my Gunmetal be left outside year-round?
Yes, our grills are designed to be outside all year round, with autumn and winter being our favourite times of year for wood-fire cooking. When not in use, put the cover on.
How does my Gunmetal grill weather?
Your Gunmetal Grill base is raw steel, so if left untreated it will gain a rusty patina over time. For this reason, we pre-oil your Gunmetal Grill with rapeseed oil for protection so you just need to add fire to finish the seasoning process off - just like seasoning a wok or cast-iron pan.
Long-term you have two options:
Option 1: Keep seasoning your Gunmetal grill and keep covered when not in use. The ember maker will need a quick coating of rapeseed oil after each cook due to the heat in this area, whereas the rest of the grill will just need doing when needed.
Option 2: Let it weather naturally and develop its own patina over time. The thickness of the raw steel base means it will last 10 years without any issues.
Cor-Ten
Put simply, Cor-Ten steel (also written as corten or COR-TEN®) is a type of high-strength, low-alloy structural steel renowned for its resistance to abrasion and corrosion. Originally developed by United States Steel in the 1930s, it was initially used in the shipping industry for constructing durable shipping containers.
What sets Cor-Ten steel apart is its unique weathering properties. When exposed to the elements, it forms a protective rust-like patina on its surface. This distinctive layer not only gives the material its striking, industrial appearance but also prevents further corrosion, making it incredibly durable and long-lasting.
Why Choose Cor-Ten Steel?
- Durability: Cor-Ten steel is built to last, with a lifespan of 25+ years. The weathered surface protects the steel beneath, ensuring structural integrity over decades.
- Low Maintenance: Unlike traditional steel, the rust patina eliminates the need for painting or additional treatments, offering a truly maintenance-free solution.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Its evolving patina creates a rustic, industrial look that enhances outdoor spaces.
- Weather Resistance: Designed for outdoor use, Cor-Ten steel can withstand year-round exposure to the elements without compromising performance.
Fun Fact: The UK’s most notable Cor-Ten structure is the iconic Angel of the North, which beautifully showcases the material's strength and aesthetic qualities.
316 Stainless Steel
316 is marine grade stainless steel — the same grade used in coastal architecture, surgical instruments, and professional kitchens. What sets it apart from standard stainless is the addition of molybdenum, which gives it exceptional resistance to salt, heat, and the elements.
Unlike Gunmetal or Cor-Ten, 316 stainless requires no oiling, no treatment, and no painting. It arrives ready to cook on and asks very little of you beyond an occasional clean.
Why Choose 316 Stainless Steel?
- Durability: Built to last a lifetime. 316 stainless maintains its structural integrity across decades of outdoor use, backed by our 20-year warranty.
- Low Maintenance: No oiling, no seasoning, no treatments. Wipe it down occasionally and it'll look after itself.
- Aesthetic: Clean, modern, and precise. Unlike Cor-Ten's evolving patina, 316 stainless stays looking like steel.
- Weather Resistance: Exceptional resistance to salt air, moisture, and coastal environments — the material of choice for the harshest outdoor conditions.
Will my 316 Stainless Steel discolour?
Yes, over time heat from live fire will cause some discolouration around the cooking area. That's normal for any steel exposed to high temperatures and doesn't affect performance. A clean with a stainless steel cleaner will freshen it up when needed.
The Asado 316 Stainless is the same grill hundreds of Somerset owners cook on every week, just built from the most serious material we offer. No oiling, no treatment, no painting. Big enough for big groups, small enough for just four.
Built from 316 marine grade stainless steel, the same grade used in coastal architecture and professional kitchens. The addition of molybdenum gives it exceptional resistance to salt, heat, and the elements, requiring no maintenance outside even in coastal environments. Perfect for the professional kitchen too.
We use non-directional finish on the stainless, which gives it a more matt, less chrome type look. Food can be prepped directly on the side tables too. Hand finishing by us takes a full day, so it is a Grill we are really proud of.
It will subtly develop a heat patina around the ember maker over time. That's normal for any steel living with live fire, and it doesn't affect performance. Just clean it occasionally and it'll outlast almost everything else in your garden
The 660mm × 320mm cooking surface is bigger than most large family barbecues, with the ember maker adding extra space on top. Wind the handle to raise or lower the grill in seconds, no guesswork. Keep topping up the ember maker with logs and cook for as long as you like.
Cook thick-cut steaks, whole chicken, slow-roasted lamb shoulder, vegetables, pizza, casseroles, 12 ways to cook, all over live fire with the flavour and theatre that's made Argentinian grilling one of the fastest-growing outdoor cooking styles in the UK.
The 316 stainless steel V Grill channels fat away from the fire for clean, consistent cooking with zero flare-ups.
Is UK delivery free?
Yes. Delivery is free to UK mainland, Scottish Islands, and Northern Ireland, and included in all prices shown. For Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, we add a £85 surcharge.
How does delivery work?
Because of the size and weight (65kg+), each grill is delivered fully assembled on a standard pallet by specialist courier. The courier will unload by tail-lift to the kerbside or entrance of your property, getting as close as possible to where you need it. On gravel drives the lorry will get as close as it can.
Deliveries run Monday–Friday, 9am–6pm. Saturday deliveries available on request.
All grills with Woodstore stands have heavy-duty castor wheels, so they're easy to move into place. The standalone Asado takes two people to carry. The Grande takes four.
Access considerations
Delivery addresses need to be accessible by 7.5t lorry. A few things worth knowing:
