Cast iron is indispensable for anyone who wants to get the most out of their barbecue. It retains heat extremely well, distributes heat evenly and provides that intense flavour and perfect grilling results that Grill Fanatics is known for. With our new cast iron line, you can add powerful, durable tools to your barbecue that are made for serious outdoor cooking.

Why cast iron is ideal for barbecuing

1. Enormous heat storage and stability
Cast iron absorbs a lot of heat and retains it for a long time. This ensures stable temperatures, even when cooking at high heat. This makes a big difference, especially when searing meat or frying over direct heat.

2. Even heat distribution
Unlike thin metal accessories, cast iron distributes heat evenly across the entire surface. This allows ingredients to cook more consistently and gives you more control over the end result.

3. Intense flavour and perfect crust
The high temperature quickly creates a nice crust on meat, fish and vegetables. This adds extra texture and deep, rich flavours – exactly what you want when barbecuing.

4. Durable and versatile material
Cast iron is made to last for years and is suitable for use on the barbecue, in the oven and – depending on the product – over an open fire.

Tips & Tricks

What can you make with cast iron on the barbecue?

  • > > Baking and roasting with a cast iron skillet
    A cast iron skillet is one of the most versatile barbecue tools. Use it to sear steaks, fry chicken or vegetables, make one-pot dishes or even desserts. Thanks to its stable heat, the skillet is ideal for controlled frying at high temperatures.
  • > > Fast and hot cooking with a cast iron wok
    With a cast iron wok, you can work quickly and powerfully over direct heat. Perfect for stir-fries, prawns, sauces or briefly searing meat and fish. Ideal for dishes that require speed and heat.
  • > > Controlled cooking on a cast iron plancha
    A cast iron plancha offers a closed cooking surface and is perfect for fish, vegetables, potatoes and smaller ingredients. Because nothing falls through the grid and the heat is distributed evenly, you have maximum control while cooking. A plancha is also ideal for making smash burgers!
  • > > Grillen met gietijzeren roosters
    Gietijzeren grillroosters staan bekend om hun uitstekende hitteopslag en het creëren van strakke grillstrepen. Ideaal voor steaks, burgers en groenten waarbij direct grillcontact essentieel is.
Universally applicable to most common kamados

Grill Fanatics cast iron accessories are designed for universal use and fit most common size L kamados. This makes them versatile and easy to combine with existing setups.

Half-moon accessories for more flexibility

With cast iron half-moon grates and planchas, you can create different zones on your kamado. This allows you to grill and bake at the same time, or combine direct and indirect cooking methods during a single barbecue session.

Coated cast iron: practical to use

Our new cast iron line features a special coating. This means:

  • > No seasoning required
  • > Better protection against rust

The coating makes the products ready for immediate use, without compromising the performance and properties of cast iron.

Proper maintenance extends the lifespan and is simple:

  • > Clean after use with warm water and a brush

This will keep your cast iron in top condition, ready for the next barbecue.
