How to find your way around this category
Basque grills (Basque/Baskick, the PVJ range) are open grills inspired by the traditional Basque grilling technique, available in Individual (single), double and triple versions according to the capacity required. The counter-top grill is intended for placement in an open kitchen visible to guests. The Mangal is a traditional type of charcoal grill. The Hibachi Josper HGJ-PRO is a compact model available from stock, suitable even for smaller establishments.
For establishments focused on show cooking and on the guest's direct contact with the preparation of the dish, Basque grills are the ideal choice; for smaller or home use, consider the compact Hibachi Josper.

Open vs. closed Josper grill
Unlike closed Josper Grill units, which also work as a smoker, open grills offer direct visual contact with the flame and the food being grilled - they are often used in show cooking concepts, where preparing the dish is part of the guest's experience. The Basque grilling technique is characterised by fast, intense grilling over high heat.
An open grill requires more experienced operation than a closed model, because temperature regulation depends more on manual work with the fire and on the position of the grate.
