why you'll love it?
85cm of cooking surface — everything on at once
The 85cm plate gives you space for a full spread — steaks, kofta, burgers, merguez, vegetables, bread — without queuing. The 10mm thickness distributes heat evenly to the edge. No cold spots, no cooking in rounds unless you choose to.
Three heat zones. One fire. Complete control
The ARK 80 runs three distinct cooking temperatures from a single fire. Center griddle for searing, inner ring for slower cuts, outer edge for resting. Move food between zones as the cook progresses. No knobs, no settings — just fire and steel
Firewood stored at arm's reach
The base has an open-front cubby that holds a full load of firewood directly below the fire cone. Load the fire from the top, reach down to replenish from the base — the next log is
always within reach while you're standing at the grill
10mm carbon steel — built to stay outside permanently
At 10mm, the cooking plate is thick enough to live outdoors year-round without warping, cracking, or degrading. The cone is 3mm high-heat painted steel. The base is electrostatic coated. At 85kg, this is a permanent fixture, not a seasonal appliance.
The grill people gather around
An open wood fire at waist height, on a plate wide enough to hold a full spread, in the middle of a rooftop or garden — the ARK 80 changes the shape of a gathering. No lid, no barriers. Everyone sees what's cooking, and everyone stands close.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why does the plate need to be 10mm thick?
A thin plate loses heat the moment cold food touches it — the surface temperature drops, the food steams instead of sears, and you lose the crust. 10mm of carbon steel holds its temperature under load. When you place a cold steak on the plate, the plate barely registers it. That mass is what gives you consistent results across the entire 85cm surface, not just the part directly over the fire.
- How do the three cooking zones work in practice?
The ARK 80 produces three distinct temperatures from one fire. The 40cm center griddle sits raised directly over the fire cone — maximum heat, for searing and fast cuts. The inner ring of the plate runs at medium heat — good for slower cooking and thicker pieces that need sustained heat without direct flame. The outer edge of the plate is the coolest zone — for warming bread, resting finished meat, and keeping food hot without overcooking. You move food outward as it finishes. No settings, no knobs — the three zones are a natural result of fire and 10mm steel mass.
- How much food can it handle at once?
The 85cm plate gives you more cooking surface than most restaurant grills. In practice: enough for 15–20 people in a single load across both zones. The image on this page shows the capacity — a full spread of steaks, burgers, kofta, merguez, corn, and vegetables, all on simultaneously, with room to move things around.
- Can I use charcoal instead of firewood?
The ARK 80 is designed and optimized for firewood. The cone shape and the open fire bowl are built around the behavior of wood — how it burns, how it produces heat, and how it creates the smoke that flavors the food. Charcoal can technically be used but it won't give you the same heat profile or the wood-smoke flavor that defines the cooking experience.
- How do I clean the cooking plate?
Carbon steel is maintained through use, not through cleaning products. After the cook, while the plate is still warm, scrape off any residue with a metal spatula. Wipe down with a dry cloth or paper towel. Don't use soap or water on the plate — it strips the seasoning. Over time the plate builds up a natural seasoned layer that improves with every cook and makes cleaning faster, not harder.
- Does it rust? How do I protect it?
The cooking plate is raw carbon steel — it will develop surface oxidation if left wet or exposed to prolonged moisture. After each cook, wipe the plate dry and apply a very light coat of cooking oil while it's still slightly warm. This protects the surface and builds seasoning at the same time. The base and cone are coated for outdoor durability. If you're not using it for an extended period, keep it covered.
- How does the firewood storage work?
The base has an open-front cubby that holds a full load of firewood directly below the fire cone. It's accessible while you're standing at the grill — reach down, grab a log, feed the fire without walking away. The 20kg Smokebox firewood pack that comes with the ARK 80 fills it comfortably for a first cook.
- Is it actually made in Egypt?
Yes — designed and built in Egypt by Grillit, a team with a family background in steel production. The 10mm plate, the 3mm cone, the base, and the griddle are all fabricated here. Not imported, not assembled from imported components.
