Petromax Grill Plate Tyropit and Pyron – for Plancha Grilling and Fire Cooking
The Petromax grill plate for Tyropit and Pyron extends both fire bowls with a large plancha and cooking surface. Instead of exclusively using open fire, it creates a uniformly heated steel plate on which a wide variety of dishes can be prepared simultaneously.
Made from 6 mm thick steel, the grill plate stores large amounts of heat and distributes it across the entire surface. This creates a temperature gradient from the hot zone near the fire opening to milder areas at the outer edge.
This very principle makes plancha grilling over fire bowls so versatile: food can be seared, cooked, and kept warm on a single surface.
Why this product?
A grill plate solves a typical problem with grates: small ingredients don't fall through, marinades remain more controllable, and you can work with zones.
- Searing in the hot zone
- Gentle cooking at the edge
- More control with vegetables, fish, burgers, or breakfast
Practical tip: actively use temperature zones
Don't work with maximum heat everywhere. Sear in the middle and cook delicate ingredients at the edge – this prevents burning and makes cooking more relaxed.

Our Assessment (Practical Value)
A grill plate extends a fire bowl significantly more than a classic grill grate. While a grate is primarily intended for direct grilling, a plancha allows working with different heat zones.
The areas near the fire opening reach the highest temperatures and are suitable for searing. At the outer edge of the plate, the heat decreases slightly – ideal for vegetables, side dishes, or for finishing meat.
In practice, this creates a complete outdoor cooking surface where multiple dishes can be prepared simultaneously.
Practical tip: intelligently use heat zones
- Inner area for searing
- Middle area for further cooking
- Outer area for keeping warm
By moving food across the plate, the temperature can be controlled without constantly having to change the fire intensity.
Practical tip: perfect for outdoor breakfast
- Fried eggs or scrambled eggs
- Bacon or sausages
- Vegetables and bread
Several components of a breakfast can be prepared simultaneously on the large surface.
Practical tip: seasoning the steel plate
- Clean the plate before first use
- Rub thinly with heat-resistant oil
- Season at high heat
Seasoning creates a natural protective layer that reduces food sticking.
