My family and I absolutely love…
My family and I absolutely love our Gather Grill. We use it with charcoal all the time, and it’s become the centerpiece of our backyard gatherings. There’s just something special about everyone hanging around the grill, cooking together, relaxing, and actually spending quality time outside.
One of our favorite things is how versatile it is. After dinner, we usually pull the grates off and throw on a few oak logs to turn it into a bonfire pit. Later in the evening, once the fire settles down, we’ll toss a pizza into the pizza oven for late-night snacks or friends who showed up late. On Sundays, we switch things up and use the griddle for brunch — eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, the works.
Honestly, it’s been a huge win for our family. It combines a grill, fire pit, pizza oven, and griddle into one setup, which saves a ton of space on our patio while creating an awesome atmosphere for hanging out together. I would 100% recommend the Gather Grill to any family looking for a fun way to cook outdoors and reconnect with each other.

My go to!
I have a GG Pioneer and loved it so much I purchased a Mini for smaller daily grilling. I've been using it non-stop and love being able to rotate on and off direct heat, using the griddle is amazing and then finishing with removing the grates and having the kids make smores over the fire is second to none. Highly recommend. Bomb proof grills from these guys!

Mini is a whole Lotta fun!
I got my Mini in August and have had so much fun exploring different ways to use it! Though I have not done pizza yet, direct grilling, reverse searing, and 6-8 hour smoking has all been successful!
It took me a couple times to get the long, slow smoking down, but now I feel very confident in the results. I use the "Snake" method, where hot coals start on one end, and a line of charcoal and smoking wood chunks circle the perimeter of the firebox. I have successfully slow smoked salmon, pork shoulder, whole chickens (spatchcocked), brisket and chuck roast. Once you learn to control the heat, the results are wonderful!
Great features and fun to use!
I love this grill and fire pit. There is so much variety of how to cook and serve food and entertain.
Awesome grill I am looking forward to owning one
I have had the privilege of being served from one of the grills. The grill is such a fantastic idea and works so good. The food was awesome too. Just being around the rest of the family made all the difference in the world. It looked to be very well built and easy to use. The name says it all... Gather (with friends and family) grills. Love it!
Great grill and experience
Talk about a great grill the little mini has it going on. It has so many features on it from the pizza oven to the fire pit, but the coolest one is how it spins like a lazy Susan to get whatever you are grilling off the heat. Another great feature is the table around it so you can gather with your loved ones and chat with the chef. I highly recommend this wonderful grill.
New Favorite everyday gril
I am super impressed with the versatility of this grill. This perfectly replaced my built in Big Green egg, and offers a lot more versatility and a higher end finish. Easily switches from high heat to indirect and is my new go to for steaks.
Little Slice of Heaven
We got our grill 3 months ago and have enjoyed it! We have it set up in our patio area and have outdoor string lights hung up.😍✨ When we grill, it’s like a little oasis- we play music and all hang out around the fire after we’re done eating. My husband loves cooking on it-breakfast, steaks, stir-fry, you name it! And I love that I can be right there with him while he’s cooking!
We love having friends gather around the grill with us! We’ve had as many as 7 people around the mini one time and it was a blast!

Perfect for my family of 5
This grill is so cool, we get to use it as a family gathering centerpiece and even open up one of the sections so the kids can help cook when they want to. It been a fun grill to have.
I have never used a more versatile grill
The Mini is one of the most versatile grills on the market that I have ever owned. I’ve cooked steaks, hamburgers, vegetables, sausage, pancakes, bacon, and much more on this grill. The ability to spin the middle of the grill to utilize hot zones and take food on and off the heat is extremely intuitive. It makes grilling much easier for a novice like me. There still is a learning curve to it, as with any live fire cooking, but I am excited to tackle this challenge using the Mini. I’ve had anywhere from one person to up to six people around the grill at once. Being able to cook and serve food right off the grill is an awesome experience, and one that I recommend to everybody.
The pizza oven feature is a game changer
I've used a lot of charcoal grills, but the social aspect of this one is unique. We had friends over last weekend and everyone sat around the grill cooking their own skewers, which was a lot of fun. The surprise hit for me was the pizza oven setup. I was able to get a crispy crust that rivals dedicated pizza ovens. It’s expensive, but it replaces a table, a fire pit, a grill, and a smoker, so the value is there and well worth it.
Awesome grill
This is an awesome grill to entertain guests and perfect for a small family
