BBQ Fire Pit Innovation: Can This Classic Entertainment Hub Be Improved?

BBQ fire pit

Good food and the company of loved ones can turn a dull evening around, which is why the classic BBQ fire pit is a much-loved addition to your family’s backyard. Whether you are celebrating a birthday, a national holiday, or the start of a long weekend, a BBQ fire pit provides an opportunity for friends and family to get together over a meal and make lasting memories.

Traditionally, fire pits have been around for thousands of years, just not in the form we know today. Ancient fire pits have been unearthed at excavation sites all over the world. The simplest form of a traditional fire pit is digging a hole in the ground and filling it with coals. This was used not only for cooking meals but was also great for community-building activities and to keep warm. Over time, while the spirit has remained the same, the traditional pit has evolved into a modern BBQ fire pit which offers much more than an opening filled with hot coals.

This ancient practice nourished both body and soul for our ancestors all over the globe. Inventions are evolving all the time as our needs grow and change, and the classic BBQ fire pit is no different. Today, it is no longer the cheap or bulky contraption of decades past. Those limited-use aging devices have been replaced by a modern and multi-purpose grill which is designed to make entertaining easy and fun for you and your guests. Yes, you can level up your BBQ fire pit with innovative new applications designed for today’s entertaining.

If you are still working with a traditional grill, it is time to upgrade to fit your modern-day get-togethers. Gather Grills offers a revolutionary outdoor grill experience that will make you a popular host with your friends and family. The highly customized and aesthetically designed grills will make you the center of your party – literally and figuratively. And it’s not just an attractive design. Gather grills walk the talk of innovation with many features that you will not find in a traditional BBQ fire pit or other competitors on the market.

Why Are Fire Pits So Popular?

Fire pits are a quintessential part of the American entertainment experience. We love outdoor cooking. Whether it is reliving childhood memories, love for the fresh air, or celebrating festivals, get-togethers around grills are a common and popular activity. Many families have traditions around the pit that get carried on by their subsequent generations. Feelings of love, belonging and comradery remain the same, but what has changed is the approach to the experience. Today, we might not be roasting a whole pig over an open flame, but it doesn’t stop us from enjoying freshly grilled pork chop on a much easier and convenient to use grill.

According to a survey conducted by the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association, nearly 64% of U.S. adults and 72% of Canadian adults own a grill or smoker. While the Fourth of July is the most popular holiday for a cookout, it is hardly the only one. Memorial Day, Labor Day, Father’s Day, and Mother’s Day all rank high for popular days to indulge in America’s favorite backyard activity. Recent trends show a rising increase in year-round grilling as cooking outdoors becomes even more popular.

Consumers who miss those smoky grilled flavors are moving away from the utilitarian gas fueled grills and opting for new and innovative approaches to using charcoal. Gather Grills gives you the flexibility to easily switch between smoker, grill and fire pit features and offers a built-in dining table for you and your diners. With Gather Grills, every meal is an opportunity to connect and form lasting memories. With four sizes to choose from, we’ve got your crew covered.

Entertaining Made Even More Fun with a Table Fire Pit

 A traditional BBQ fire pit restricts your movement and it can be hard (or even dangerous) to gather your guests around it.  With a traditional fire pit, it’s not as easy to experiment with your outdoor space and try out new ways to entertain the crowd. Even worse, the party often moves to find its own comfortable spot while you are stuck in the corner frying patties and worrying about whether your guests are having a good time.

It is time to push this routine to the past and move into the future. BBQ fire pit designs have grown to include so much more. With Gather Grills, you as the host get to be the center of your gatherings and enjoy the party as much as your guests. Gather Grills give you the functionality to put your table fire pit in the perfect spot instead of being a permanent feature dictated by your landscape. You’ll also enjoy multipurpose cooking and the rotating grill with a built-in table feature. Everything that has been holding you back from having a good time is now possible with a table BBQ fire pit from Gather Grills.

When you invest in a modern table fire pit, you are investing in your relationships because entertaining becomes convenient and hassle-free. You can form bonds and interact with your guests with ease because the grill table itself is the center of attention.

Gather Around with Gather Grills from Meal Prep to Dessert

Gather Grills give you the convenience and flexibility of interacting with your guests while you go about preparing the dinner. Gone are the days when a BBQ fire pit was stationed in some corner of the backyard. You no longer have to work in isolation while your guests gather around a table, drinking and waiting for dinner to be ready. With Gather Grills, the center of the party is wherever you want it to be. A built-in dining table gives you the perfect opportunity to converse with your guests and cook at the same time. Once you’ve finished, you can easily serve it to your guests – fresh and hot, right off the grill! 

Another common grouch while grilling is the delay in getting the food ready. With large crowds, this is especially a challenge. As you struggle to quickly dish out the meat, your guests wait patiently (most of the time) in line for their meal. But with the large grilling area on Gather Grills, you can cook a large amount of food quickly and keep your guests happy. 

For your largest crowds, go for the Entertainer or the Reunion that can conveniently seat 9 and 10 people respectively, and can cook for up to 10 times that number.

A True Multipurpose Combo BBQ Fire Pit

For the ultimate cookout experience, you need a grill that can also be used as a fire pit, smoker, griddle, and grill table. As meat connoisseurs, we know that each of these brings an entirely different dining experience of a BBQ. The fire pit gives you the hallmark camp-like feel. The open flames in a fire pit are not only inviting on a cold winter evening but are an ideal setting for intimate conversations.

Gather Grills was built upon the need for human interaction and given it a modern twist. You can gather with friends and family any time of day. Now you can enjoy a sumptuous breakfast of eggs, pancakes, hashbrowns, and bacon on a griddle. In the evening, set up the grill to sear meat and get those browned strips which are classic to outdoor grilling.

Sitting down for a meal with friends and family is a special moment. Gather Grills’ rotating grill table makes it easy and convenient to serve. Why pass the plate of grilled ribs back and forth when you can simply rotate the grill and get access to your favorite food easily? The lazy Susan feature was intuitively added to give you and your guests the best BBQ experience.

Innovative Design Features to Bring Your BBQ Fire Pit into the 21st Century

Gone are the days when the BBQ fire pit was a piece of black equipment tucked away in the corner of your backyard or patio. Today, grills form an essential part of your home’s outdoor entertainment area. For the same reason, Gather Grills puts in considerable effort to ensure that the design of the grill matches your aesthetic sensibilities.

The tabletop material is available in either stainless steel or Ipe Brazilian hardwood. The stainless steel gives the grill a rugged look and heats up slightly more than the Ipe hardwood, so enjoy the warmth during cooler times of year or use our heat-resistant placemats. On the other hand, Ipe Brazilian hardwood lends a premium feel to your grill and is built from one of the finest wood products available. It all depends on what you want your experience to be.

For intimate and smaller gatherings, opt for the Tailgater which can easily fit on smaller decks and patios. It seats up to seven guests and can cook for more than twice that number. If you find your gathering size is increasing with time, you can level up with the Pioneer, our most popular model for the grilling enthusiast who loves to have friends and family over regularly. One of the best design features you’ll find on any size Gather Grills is that once you have dined, you can remove the grates and add fire wood, successfully converting your grill into a fire pit to keep the night alive.

Gather Grills vs. Traditional Fire Pit

Over the years, fire pits have evolved drastically in terms of functionality and design. From a hole dug in the ground to elaborate structures of stone, brick and metal, fire pits can come in varying shapes and sizes. However, a feature that unites them all is the function of portability – namely, lack thereof. Fire pits generally cannot be moved around easily since they are installed. That is a big limitation when you want to move houses, or just want to shift your get-together from the backyard to the patio. Unpredictable weather can also cause hiccups with your plans. Even if you have a portable fire pit, you are still usually restricted to use it for only one style of cooking – over open flame.

Gather Grills is a modernized and innovative version of your traditional BBQ fire pit.

Think of all the things you could do with your backyard grill, and you will find those features and more in Gather Grills. A tabletop adds an aesthetic value to your gatherings and serves a multipurpose function. When planning a dinner, you don’t have to think twice about the kinds of food you can and cannot serve. Gather Grills gives you the flexibility to burn both charcoal and wood. With a multi-function smoker, grill and griddle combo you can appeal to your guests’ food preferences with ease.

Easy to Use and Maintain

Gather Grills are designed to make your life easier. You don’t have to worry about messy cleaning and oil residue. The grates in all the variants of Gather Grills are made from 304 stainless steel. You can easily clean the grates while they are still hot by using your grill brush to scrape off any grease and leftover food. Once you are done with your meal, take a few minutes to clean off the grates and convert it into a fire pit to keep the night alive. The high-quality stainless steel also resists any rust and corrosion. In addition, each variant comes with a heavy-duty, weather-resistant cover ensuring years of service for you and your family. 

The grill rotation feature is one of the best design features of Gather Grills that you won’t find in other outdoor cookers on the market. Gather Grills not only gives you the flexibility to cook half-and-half, like using the grill and the skillet at the same time, but also lets you rotate the grill from high to low heat without moving around individual food. Give your Juicy Lucy burger a twist with an addition of fried egg on the patty. You can easily fry up your burger patty on the grill while your fried egg cooks on the skillet. And for maintenance? Just oil the bearings every few times you use your grill and keep your rotating grill table rolling smoothly.

Unmatched Flexibility

Gather Grills give you the flexibility to switch between smoker, grill and griddle functions on your BBQ fire pit. You can swap the grates at your convenience and use whole or part of the cooking area for one or multiple functions. With the 360-degree rotating grill feature, you can move the entire cooking area and distribute food for direct and indirect cooking with ease.

About us

When Jed Strange bought a fire pit in February of 2020, he had no idea that it was about to inspire him to create one of the most innovative multi-function outdoor cooking devices available today.

With the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown closing operations at Strange Farms, a family-run corporate and private retreat venue, Jed found himself with some extra time on his hands. He sat down and looked at his new fire pit. His goal of gathering people around it physically was put on hold, but the desire for connection remained.
