Turn your Fourneau 30" Fire Pit into a wood-fired flat-top grill. With a wood fire below the plancha griddle surface, you'll easily generate cooking surface for searing at 700ºF and higher. The outer perimeter of the plancha maintains a lower temperature which allows chefs to cook with both high temperature and more moderate temperatures at the same time.
Our plancha is heavy 3/16" plate steel cut and formed to shape. It is reinforced on the bottom by a robust ring of steel to resist twisting from hight heat. The reinforcing ring registers the plancha on an included 16" fire stand. Not only does the 1/8" thick rolled and welded fire stand support the plancha, it also serves as a convenient structure to support your firewood as you build your fire.
You'll be surprised at how little wood you need to cook a meal on the plancha. A single cooking session will usually consume just three or four pieces of conventionally sized fire logs (4-5 inches in diameter). To get cooking fast and maintain maximum control over your fire, split your fire logs into roughly 1.5-2" diameter splits.
Hand-built in the Fourneau Factory, each plancha is fabricated with strong TIG-welded joints from thick-gauge steel. The plancha is supplied RAW with no coating or finish. To cook on the plancha, make your fire and apply grape seed oil to the cooking surface with long handled tongs and paper towels. The high-temp oil will polymerize as it is heated, creating an oil-seasoning coating that is food-safe and easy to maintain.
Our plancha is designed to fit in the Fourneau 30" Fire Pit but it can be used in other ways too. The fire stand and plancha can be used directly on the ground as long as it's on a suitably hard, level, and fire-proof surface. If you have a fire pit that is 30" in diameter or larger, the fire stand and plancha may fit. Check in with the Fourneau team by email or telephone before ordering a plancha for your existing fire pit.
