"You dream it. We build it."

Every Own The Fire® custom build starts with a conversation and a chef's eye for how the fire actually performs. We design around your space, your cooking style, and the tradition you want to pull from, whether that is Argentine parrilla, Santa Maria live fire, or a purpose-built reverse flow smoker.

Why settle for factory specs when the build can be designed around your cook?

Off-the-shelf grills are built to a price point. Ours are built to a standard. That means heavy gauge steel, proper firebox geometry, and hardware that holds up to actual use, not a showroom floor. We do not build "one size fits all." We build "one size fits your kitchen."

What We Build

Custom Argentine parrilla and Santa Maria grill hand fabricated on Long Island

Argentine Parrilla and Santa Maria Grills

The 66 by 30 build that started the fabrication side of the business. A live fire grill designed around the Argentine parrilla tradition, built with a hand crank system that raises and lowers the grates over open flame for full control of the cook.

Heavy gauge steel construction, wagon wheel height control, and optional brasero firebox for ember driven cooking. Every custom Argentine grill is built to order and spec, not pulled from a catalog.

Custom reverse flow smoker built on Long Island New York

Custom Reverse Flow Smokers

Reverse flow smokers designed from the ground up to your exact specifications. A compact patio offset, a competition ready rig, or a 250 gallon build for the serious operation. Every smoker is engineered around its intended cook.

Even heat distribution, long burn times, and precise airflow control through a properly engineered firebox and baffle system. Built from professional grade materials designed to run for decades.

Custom Own The Fire® BBQ prep cart and fire station

Custom BBQ Prep Carts and Fire Stations

The command center of the cook.

Every custom cart is designed around how you actually work, from butcher block depth to burner placement to the travel distance between prep and fire. Heavy gauge steel chassis, commercial grade casters, and storage that makes sense for live fire cooking.

Sear steaks, hold sauce, break down a primal, and feed the fire from one station. Every detail is designed around your workflow so the cart keeps up with the cook.

Engineered to perform. Built to last.
