SmashGrill

The SmashGrill is a breakthrough in outdoor cooking — a purpose-built system that delivers restaurant-quality results in your own garden. Crowned Best Gas Barbecue at the Ideal Home Garden Awards 2024 and 2025, it stands out as a truly innovative take on the modern BBQ thanks to its patented non-stick ceramic shield.

Cooking on a SmashGrill griddle plate is all about maximising direct contact, high heat, and efficient surface area. Unlike traditional grills with grates, a flat griddle plate creates full-surface conduction, which allows for an even Maillard reaction—the chemical process responsible for that deep browning and rich flavor.

One of the key advantages is thermal consistency. Once preheated properly, the plate retains heat extremely well, meaning food sears immediately on contact. This is especially important for smash-style cooking (e.g., burgers), where pressing the food increases surface contact and accelerates caramelisation. The result is a crisp exterior while maintaining moisture inside.
