From the workshop

Built to
our standards.

Our welders cut, weld, and finish each frame to order in our Ellaville shop. Every grill is meticulously crafted and every poly wing is test fit prior to shipping.

A note from the shop —

Your Pioneer will be welded and built to order in our Ellaville workshop. Frame, bowl, ring, and wings, all built up by our crew, one circle at a time.

We’ll send a build update when it’s on the line, and another when it leaves the shop.

Most Versatile Grill!

We’ve had our Gather Grill for about a year now, and it’s hands-down one of the best purchases we’ve made for our backyard. What sold me initially was the versatility and it has more than delivered. It’s a grill, a fire pit, and a table all in one. The rotating tabletop is brilliant you can cook in the center, spin the surface to serve food, or just use it as a big communal table when you’re not grilling. It completely changes the dynamic of hosting. Instead of the cook being stuck off to the side, everyone gathers around together. The fire bowl underneath throws off an incredible amount of heat, which makes it usable year-round. In the colder months, your legs and feet stay warm while you sit around the table, making winter grilling and fires actually enjoyable instead of something you rush through. Beyond the function, it’s beautifully designed and incredibly well built. Every time we have people over, it becomes the natural focal point for meals, conversations, and late-night fires. If you love cooking, entertaining, and creating a space where people genuinely gather, this grill isn’t just a piece of equipment it’s the centerpiece. I couldn’t recommend it more.

Awesome Grill!

We bought our Pioneer for the lake where we entertain 6-12 people almost every night. The grill allows us all to sit around the grill and socialize. It’s such a versatile grill which allows us to smoke, grill and bake my pies.

Great Versatility

Cooking on this grill with my family is a huge hit! From Hibachi Night to killer smash burgers, it’s always fun for the whole family. Everything is done on the grill (including veggies) and my wife loves that it keeps the kitchen clean!

Best of the Best

The Pioneer Gather has been the centerpiece of my back deck for the last 2 years. New friends are always very impressed by it and my regular crew continues to make memories around it. Thank you Gather Grills for making something that will last a lifetime, look beautiful and bring us together.

Questions

FAQ.

  • Every Gather Grill is built to order. The current queue is 6–8 weeks from order to dispatch. Transit by freight is another 3–5 days once it's picked up.

    Have an upcoming event? Let us know by emailing us at ignite@gathergrills.com and we will try our hardest to get it to you by the event time, but cannot guarantee it.

  • Palletized and shrink-wrapped on a standard freight pallet, with liftgate service and curbside drop off. Residential addresses will come with appointment deliveries. Business and club addresses will be delivered during normal business hours.

  • Charcoal or firewood right out of the box. For propane, add the Propane Insert ($249.99–$449.99 by model). The insert drops into the bowl, fuel lines run out of the baffle, and control panel hooks onto a poly wing spot on the Grill.

  • Wings are available in Black (standard), Brazilian Walnut, or Coastal Gray.* That's the only color premium across the catalog. The 304 stainless frame is always bead-blasted matte silver.

    *Brazilian Walnut and Coastal Gray each add $50 per Poly Wing.

  • Five years on structural metal and cooking surfaces. Two years on ancillary components. One year on accessories. Built to last, backed by people who care.

  • Every Gather Grill comes with a 60-day return guarantee: if it isn't right for you, send it back within 60 days of delivery for a full refund. Just keep the original packaging it shipped in, and we cover return freight.
