Le Canopé Brazier

On a brazier, you cook directly on the plancha and the grill. The metal that makes them up is therefore in direct contact with your food, at high temperature.

Most braziers on the market use a seasoned carbon steel plancha. We had this material tested by an independent laboratory: the tests revealed an iron release reaching nearly 7 times the authorised limit during the test. Result: non-compliant.

Like many manufacturers, our first braziers used this material. In light of the test results, we chose to abandon it and switch to stainless steel for all our cooking surfaces.

The stainless steel used today for our planchas and grills was also submitted to laboratory tests and came out compliant.

This choice represents a higher manufacturing cost, but for us, it must not be a matter of compromise.

You cook with peace of mind: it’s tested, not just promised.

The other advantages of stainless steel:

– No seasoning required.

– Does not rust.

– Simplified maintenance.

At Nalunes, each brasero is manufactured, welded and assembled by hand in our workshop, near Angers.

We have chosen demanding manufacturing: thick steel, robust assemblies and careful finishes. Each brasero is created with the same objective: to offer a durable product, capable of accompanying you for many years and becoming a true place of conviviality in your outdoor space.

Two materials. Two functions.

The brasero body — the tank and the cabinet — is manufactured in thick steel, available in Corten steel or black powder-coated steel, depending on the finish you choose.

The cooking surface — the plancha and the central grill — is made in food-grade stainless steel tested in the laboratory, in order to offer cooking with complete confidence.

Designed to last… and to be practical

The Canopy is composed of four removable elements: the central grill, the plancha, the tank and the cabinet. This design facilitates its transport, handling and maintenance.

The plancha is naturally inclined towards the centre to promote the flow of fats towards the hearth, thus limiting splashing and simplifying cleaning.

The cabinet includes a shelf allowing you to create two storage spaces. In the version without wheels, the brasero rests on adjustable feet in height, which protect the floor and allow you to level it perfectly.

Robust manufacturing

Unlike many models on the market, the cabinet is entirely welded: you do not receive a cabinet in kit form to assemble. This design provides greater rigidity and durability.

Corten steel is an alloy steel to which copper, chromium, nickel and phosphorus are added in particular. This composition allows it to naturally develop a protective patina on the surface.

Unlike ordinary rust, this patina gradually forms a denser and more stable layer, which significantly slows corrosion and protects the steel over time.

This is what gives Corten its unique appearance: a warm, vibrant hue that evolves over the months depending on exposure, humidity and external conditions.

1 to 3 months: The brazier begins to be covered with a yellow/orange patina. During this phase, rust streaks can appear and stain certain sensitive floors, particularly limestone floors. We recommend that you place a fire-resistant outdoor mat if this is your case.

3 to 6 months: The patina gradually becomes darker, more uniform and more resistant.

6 months to 1 year: The colour becomes uniform. The Corten layer stabilises and streaks become much rarer.

1 to 2 years: The brazier gradually reaches its final hue, generally orange-brown to dark brown. Each Corten sheet evolves differently: each brazier therefore has a unique patina.

For the black finish, the brazier receives different treatment depending on the parts that compose it.

Finish of the bowl:
High-temperature powder coating.

Finish of the cabinet:
Anti-corrosion primer, then blasted black powder coating.

Powder coating consists of applying a paint powder to the steel, then placing the piece in an oven at approximately 200 °C. This baking creates a uniform, slightly textured and highly resistant coating.

On the cabinet, this finish offers excellent durability over time, whilst providing an elegant and modern blasted black appearance.

The bowl benefits from a powder coating adapted to high temperatures, to better withstand the use of the brazier.
