THE PROBLEM
Outdoor cooking is booming — but consumers are stuck choosing between overpriced “big brand” gear and cheap tools that break.
Grill and griddle enthusiasts deserve tools built by real BBQ pitmasters — not marketing departments.
Most BBQ tools today are:
- Overpriced for the quality (BBQ's "Big Brands")
- Poorly designed for real backyard cooking
- Unreliable, with low ratings and cheap materials
That’s why we created BBQ Tools — to give pitmasters and backyard chefs premium-quality, pitmaster-designed tools at fair prices.
Final Message from the Founders
“When we stepped onto the Shark Tank stage, we believed America deserved better BBQ.
Fifteen years later, that same belief fuels BBQ Tools — giving every backyard pitmaster the tools to make great food and great memories.
Now we’re inviting you to be part of our next chapter.
Join us, and let's build the next great American BBQ brand together.
