By Signe Hansen | Press photos
A fun fact that not a lot of people know about Scandinavians is that we are one of the most BBQ-loving people on the planet. What’s more, grilling is not just a summer activity in Scandinavia. Thanks to robust, weather-resistant grills, Scandinavians are known to grill year-round, even in cold or rainy weather. We take a look at some of the region’s most popular, stylish and versatile BBQs, and we promise they will elevate your BBQ experience to a new level.

GRILLSKÄR from IKEA
IKEA may be best known for flat-pack sofas and meatballs, but the GRILLSKÄR outdoor kitchen proves they know their way around a BBQ, too. True to form, IKEA delivers a budget-friendly BBQ setup that’s practical, clean-lined, and ready to handle everything from weeknight burgers to full-blown garden parties. With four independently controlled burners and a generous cooking area, GRILLSKÄR gives you space and flexibility – whether you’re searing, slow-cooking, or just trying not to burn the corn.

Grill ’17 from Morsø
The traditional Danish foundry business Morsø has a long-standing talent for turning cast iron into things you never knew you needed – until now. Take the Grill ’17, for instance: part sculptural statement, part culinary multitasker, and part bonfire buddy. This is the kind of piece that quietly transforms your terrace into the most popular gathering spot in the neighbourhood (whether you planned for guests or not). With a rotating grill grate and plancha that adjust to different heights, the grill provides plenty of options while the cast iron soaks up all the good stuff (flavour, fat, flair), to make sure nothing goes to waste in the taste department. And when dinner’s done? Swing the grill elements aside, toss in a few logs, and you’ve got yourself a proper fire pit – just the thing for marshmallows, storytelling, or pretending to be the kind of person who always lights a perfect fire on the first try.
