GrillSymbol UK: We are so excited here at firepit.co.uk to finally get to announce that we are now the sole distributor for GrillSymbol in the UK, bringing their entire range of fire pits (and other incredible products) to the UK.

This is an announcement we have been wanting to make for a long time and we are finally here!

GrillSymbol is an incredible company with a long history and a range of products that really are the best on the market.  We are big fans, so we wanted to give you a quick introduction to who GrillSymbol are and what they do.

What this means is that we now not only offer GrillSymbol to our retail customers but offer trade accounts to retailers.

Let’s dive in…

Who Are Grillsymbol?

Grillsymbols history and origin date back almost 100 years to 1925 in the city of Tallin, Estonia.  Johannes Moisar opened a smithy (or ironmongery) by the Paldiski avenue and started off making small iron pans and stove details.

In 1940, however, the company was nationalised due to the Soviet annexation of Estonia which meant their incredible product and expertise were lost to the public.  This lasted an incredible 57 years!

Then, in 1997, once the Estonian Republic was restored and entrepreneurship was once again allowed in the country the brothers Ivar and Laur Suurvali revived the family traditions and brought their expertise back for public consumption.  They formed the company Symbol OU and began making pots once again.

These pots were larger than their 1925 ancestors, but the materials they used remained the same.  If there’s one thing their original pots showed it was the longevity a great thick bottomed iron pan can have.

In 2008 they took their next big step and the manufacturing company GrillSymbol OU was born to cater to the growing demand for their pans.  More specifically the incredible PRO line of products that the company produced are amazingly durable, safe, and very easy to use.

They quickly added to their range of products including BBQ Smokers which they developed using their extensive experience and many BBQ experts.

GrillSymbol UK Fire Pits

In 2017 GrillSymbol returned to its roots and revived its experience and love for fire pits.  Sticking to their core, and using only the best possible materials, all of their fire pits are made from Corten Steel (which we will cover in more detail below).

Their design follows the Nordic people’s lifestyle of simplicity, practicality, and using weather-resistant materials.  This combined with ancient mythological symbols gives GrillSymbols fire pits their gorgeous and truly unique aesthetic.

Their range of fire pits is now 14 strong and growing each year.

We are incredibly proud to be the UK’s exclusive and sole distributor of not only their fire pits but also their extended range of corten steel products including planters and outdoor wood storage.

What Makes GrillSymbol So Great?

You may think us biased, but their incredible international reputation speaks for itself, and their products more than stand up to that reputation.  So, what makes GrillSymbol fire pits so great?  Let’s have a look at some of our top reasons:

Corten Steel

We’ve written a lot about corten steel a lot in other blog posts, if you read some of these you’ll realise we’re big fans.  Corten steel is incredibly durable, light and portable, has a beautiful, rusted aesthetic (don’t worry is stable rust that protects the metal), and it requires little to no maintenance (you can just leave it outside all year round). 

It really is a bit of a super material, and definitely the best material for making a fire pit.  And it’s certainly one of our favourite things about the GrillSymbol fire pits! 

Excellent Price Point

Price is an important factor for everyone and GrillSymbol’s fire pits are incredibly good in that area.  You can get yourself a stunning corten steel fire pit for less than £300 if your budget is tight, which is incredible when you think that corten steel can last for well over 20 years unlike the usual mild steel fire pit.

They of course have a range of fire pits that cost more than £300, but the value for what you get is never lost! 

Wide Range of Options

Their incredible range of options means you will almost certainly find something that suits just about any size of outdoor space you can think of.  On top of that, they also have some incredible options if you are looking for something a bit more than a nice fire pit to sit around.

Some of our Favourites

It’s incredibly hard to actually pick our favourites as they are all stand out items, but if forced to narrow it down, here they are:

Piazza – We love the celtic symbol design on the side of this unique square fire pit, that really shines at night.  It’s also incredible value at £299!

Piazza Corten Steel Fire Pit with Flames

Laterna – Is a stunning tall, boxed fire pit that is ideal for a small outdoor space but packs a huge punch when it comes to producing heat.  It also comes with the Arttu stainless steel grill with adjustable height which makes it ideal for turning your fire pit into a BBQ.

Sisters Planters - Metal planters can degrade and rust away in your garden all too quickly. Not so with corten steel planters. That's why we love corten steel so much, not only are they great to look at it, they will last an age! The Sisters Planter Set curved design will compliment the circular GrillSymbol fire pit or look just as stunning on their own.

Smoky Beast – is the perfect example of what GrillSymbol have to offer – something unique, stylish, and incredibly well made.  The Smoky Beast is a BBQ grill and smoker in one and is ideal for turning your garden or patio into an outdoor kitchen.  If you really want to get to grips with the Smoky Beast then have a look at our previous blog post.
