Netherton Foundry 24" Black Iron Split Barbecue Chapa

The ultimate open-fire griddle, forged for feasts. Two semi-circular black iron plates join together to form a 24" (60 cm) outdoor cooking surface — inspired by the Argentinian Gauchos. A chapa is a traditional flat iron griddle, rooted in Argentinian cooking. Designed for use directly over fire or charcoal, it delivers searing heat for meat, vegetables, breads, and more. Versatile, tough, and communal — the chapa turns any flame into a feast.

The split design lets you sear on one half while keeping food warm on the other, or separate meat from vegetables with ease. Pre-seasoned with natural flax oil, it’s a rugged and adaptable fire companion built for everything from sizzling steaks to frying eggs under the stars.
