Outlaw Patio

From the beginning stages of engineering, all the way through the manufacturing processes and leading up to the welding stage, we take pride in each and every smoker that goes out our door. We do not grind our welds and feel that is a tribute to the skill and focus we have in every phase of building our pits. Each Outlaw may be a little different, but they are made with the same passion and pride by our talented, hardworking team. We at Outlaw feel that those who choose to use a stickburner will appreciate first and foremost, the responsiveness of our pits, as well as the hard work and craftmanship that goes into them.

Hooray Grills

Blackstone

Our products are designed and engineered in the USA with the latest technology and innovation, but we are more than just another outdoor cooking appliance company. Our main focus is on our consumers and designing quality products that yield the best results.

Smokin Brothers

In 2011, Smokin Brothers expanded its product offerings to Smokin BrothersTM 100% Pure Unblended Natural Wood Pellets and American Made Smokin BrothersTM Pellet Grills. Smokin Brothers was looking for pellets that provided more smoke flavor and bettter consitency without any luck. So we decided to start our own line that would be pure wood with no blends. The pellets give you a distinct smoke flavor, but also allow you to blend the pellets if you want a more complex flavor profile.

Our family has been competing and cooking on wood pellet grills for several years but have always found issues with each grill we used. The family has come together and designed a line of grills that perform to all of our specifications, by holding a constant temp, have plenty of grill space and are built in America with quality and care in mind. We have been using these grills at our competitions and our family cookouts with great success.

Kamado Joe

We’ve all been there: in the middle of something you love doing, only to be frustrated by the quality of a tool. Maybe it doesn’t break. But it doesn’t work like it could. That was our realization about grilling. We loved it. We did it all the time. But weekend after weekend, we’d find ourselves disappointed by our grills and tools. We knew there was a better way—which is what inspired us to design and develop a better grill. Kamado Joe isn’t just a line of products. It’s what happens when two guys who love to grill get serious about creating the world’s best ceramic cooker. Better quality. Smarter features. More innovative accessories. That’s the story of Kamado Joe.

Pit Barrel Cooker

The #1 Drum Cooker In The World!
HERE’S WHY:
Unlike traditional grills which cook food from a single, direct heat source, the Pit Barrel® Cooker’s cylindrical shape and “Hook-and-Hang” method places the food in the center of the action, heating the meat from all sides at once, producing consistently great-tasting, perfectly cooked meat every time.

Oklahoma Joe's

Oklahoma Joe’s started in 1987 when Joe Davidson designed and manufactured 12 meat smokers to sell at the Oklahoma State Fair. Not only did he sell all 12 of those, but he also managed to get orders for over a hundred more. He used this money to build his business and become the legend he is today.

Made from 12-gauge black oil pipe, Oklahoma Joe’s smokers are all about Texas-style barbecue. In fact, they’re modeled after the ones used by roughnecks in Southern oil fields. Durable and heavy-duty, these smokers are built tough — and built to last.

Traeger

Traeger pellet grills pack big hardwood flavor, from sweet cherry, to savory mesquite, into everything you grill, smoke, bake, roast, braise, & BBQ. Traeger’s wood pellets are made with 100% pure, natural hardwood giving you authentic flavor and nothing else. Grilling has never been easier—just set it and forget it and let the Traeger work its wood-fired magic.

Weber

Driven by his passion for grilling the best steaks for family and friends, Weber’s founder, George Stephen, invented the revolutionary kettle grill in 1952. At the time, he worked for Weber Brothers Metal Works in Chicago, Illinois and was inspired by the shape of a buoy.

George knew that a rounded cooking bowl with a lid was the key to success. So he cut the buoy in half, added three legs to the bottom, a handle to the top, and the rest is history.

The same innovative mindset and goal of grilling a perfect steak lives on in everything we do. It is our heritage, legacy, and future.
