15″ Black Iron Chapa Griddle

A compact chapa built for fire cooking at home, in the garden, or out in the wild. At 15" (38 cm), this black iron griddle plate is portable, versatile, and made for real flames. A chapa is a traditional flat iron griddle, rooted in Argentinian Gaucho cooking. Designed for use directly over fire or charcoal, it delivers searing heat for meat, vegetables, breads, and more. Tough, simple, and communal — the chapa turns any flame into a feast.

Hand-forged in Shropshire and pre-seasoned with natural flax oil, this 15" chapa griddle plate resists corrosion and develops a natural non-stick finish with use. Detachable legs make it easy to set up over fire or pack down for storage, while its durable black iron build ensures it can withstand high temperatures again and again.
