Our Story
BlackGem was born from a simple, unforgettable moment: a holiday in France, gathered around a plancha, where food, fire, families and friends came together in perfect harmony.
There was something magical about the way the flames danced, the flavours deepened, and time slowed down, a sense of effortless joy, laughter, and connection around the table.
That moment sparked an idea: to recreate that feeling, and to share it with others, with a plancha barbecue that captures the warmth of fire, the richness of taste, and the spirit of conviviality.
BlackGem is our answer. Designed to welcome large gatherings, it’s made for those who love cooking together, sharing plates, and staying outside just a little longer. No gas, no fuss, just real fire, sustainably lit with wood.
Built to withstand the elements and crafted for flavour, it’s ready to perform season after season, rain or shine.
What began as a memory is now a movement, back to simplicity, to the essence of good living, and to the fire that brings us all together.
