Custom Made Planchas & Grates for Gas Grills.

All steels on the market that are 6mm and above are made from hot-rolled steel, which comes from the factory with a surface coating called mill scale.

Mill scale is a flaky surface layer that forms on hot-rolled steel during the manufacturing process. It consists of iron oxides that develop when the steel is heated to high temperatures, typically during rolling or heat treatment. Mill scale has a bluish-black appearance and is relatively brittle. While mill scale itself is not toxic, it’s generally not considered safe to cook on because it can flake off and potentially get into your food. For this reason, it is essential that the steel receives a surface treatment to remove this coating.

The steel we use undergoes a 6-stage process, starting at the material supplier and ending with a four-stage process that includes preparation and a final brushed treatment which is ideal for the seasoning to adhere to. The steel is then cleaned further, coated with our own beeswax seasoning wax, laser engraved, inspected, and packed. This is why our steels do not have scratches and arrive with an appealing shiny brushed surface finish.

We offer custom laser engraving to personalize your steel. These steels are often purchased as gifts, and adding a name or message can give it that personal touch. We don’t charge for this service; however, if you’re happy to, we suggest a small donation to Cancer Research via our JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/smokerig-bbq.

Simply leave your engraving requests in the notes section at checkout. Please allow 24 hours for us to complete this. If you have any questions about engraving, you can email us or even WhatsApp us at +447421 324084.
