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 Tailgater 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.

“The grill’s innovative lazy susan design helps get great results for both novice and experienced grillers.”

We just received our new Tailgater…

We just received our new Tailgater grill and accessories, and my husband is so extremely impressed with the craftsmanship and thickness of the metal. He also LOVES that you only used 3 legs instead of 4. He always tells people that is the best way to keep something level. And the grill cover is also top quality. You guys really thought all of this through. The distance of the tables, for your chairs, from the grill is perfect to keep from burning your knees. lol!!! The lazy Susan is genius. We have used it almost every night since we received it. Just can’t say enough good things about your products. GREAT Customer Service and amazing products. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thanks again!

incredible experience!

I cooked for our family reunion and this grill was the HIT of the party! Steak and chicken fajitas, sautéed veggies and shrimp as well. All on one grill served up together hot and ready. No need for multiple grills, pots and pans. This grill was awesome and we all hung out around it for hours after. Get yourself one!

The grill we always wanted

Hey, instead of grilling and cooking in 2 different places, let's just cook in 1 place and as the food is ready, eat all together. This grill meats all our needs and grilling becomes the event. Everyone is interested in whats being cooked and loiters for morsels. I never had a grill that participated in the full days festivities. Breakfast, Fire, Lunch, Fire, Dinner, Fire, Smores.

Perfect Size for any entertainment space!

Perfect size for any entertainment space and fits the part. This is what I love about the GG Tailgater. Not too big, not too small. Dresses up very nice when I do not want a grill or Fire Pit showing. With a standard round tablecloth turns into a high-end dining table so no need to try to hide that ugly grill when company comes over. I love the charcoal aspect of this grill, nothing is better. I will have to admit that the gas option has caught my attention for speed and ease of use. This style of cooking, with the lazy susan, requires you to be manage the fire and heat for best results. So, a little learning curve is required, but all worth the effort. Love the quality and heavy gauge 304SS material used, I expect to have this unit for a long time. I also like the fact that there are a lot of accessories for this grill that will be fun to play with when I add them to the collection.

Great for extending your grilling

I have had my Gather Grill for over a year. We love to throw some wood on the coals after we are done grilling. It is different from everything on the market when it comes to combining grilling and hanging out around the fire!

The ultimate grill!

I absolutely love the functionality of our Gather grill. When my family and I are at the lake, we are definitely cooking on it. From bacon cheeseburgers to perfect steaks it truly is the ultimate grill. One of our favorite things to do is s'mores. When we're done cooking on the grill / griddle portion of it. We will remove the grates and throw a couple pieces of fire wood on the coals and we have a fire pit! We definitely love our Gather gill!.

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.
