Square braziers

Square

— a rather rare variant, found mainly in hearth grills (see "Type"), as well as in individual models of barbecue grills.

In the first case, the advantage of a square surface over a round one (which is also used in such models) is that it does not heat up so evenly: the temperature is the lowest in the corners, a little higher at the edges, and the highest near the centre. This can be attributed to the advantages, since this provides a greater variety of temperatures within the same work surface. The downside of this advantage is the rather high cost of square models — even by the standards of hearth grills in general.

In turn, for barbecue grills, a square is a kind of transitional option between a rectangular and a round shape (especially since the corners of such devices are often made rounded). It is convenient to approach such a grill from almost any side, while its usable area is slightly larger than that of a similar round model. However, such advantages are not so often fundamental, and round products are somewhat easier to manufacture. Therefore, there are few square barbecue grills.
