Live-fire grills, fire pit cookers & fuel
Cook over real fire.
Hand-picked live-fire grills, fire pit cookers, and fuel from makers who build them to last.
Who we are
Live-fire cooking gear, chosen by people who cook over fire
GetBackyarding is a small, service-disabled veteran-owned shop for people who cook over real fire. We carry Argentine and Santa Maria grills, kamados, fire pit cookers, wood-fired pizza ovens, charcoal and hardwood, cast iron, tools, rubs and sauces — a short list on purpose, chosen because we cook on this gear ourselves. We're an authorized dealer for every maker we carry, so your warranty is the maker's full warranty and parts stay available for years. Wherever we can, we favor steel and iron built in the United States by shops that still answer the phone. Small items ship from our partners in a few days. Big cookers ship by freight straight from the maker: the carrier calls you to schedule a delivery window, the pallet comes to your curb, and you inspect it before you sign. If you're not sure what fits your patio, your crowd or your budget, take the grill advisor or email a real person who cooks over fire every week.

Backyarding is a verb.
It's the hour before dinner when the coals come up and people drift toward the heat. We started GetBackyarding because that hour deserves gear that works — steel that lasts decades, fuel that burns clean, and honest answers from people who cook over fire every week.
We're a service-disabled veteran-owned shop. We carry a short list on purpose: only makers we'd put in our own backyard.

Before you order
- How do big grills and fire pits ship?
- Large cookers ship by freight from the maker. The carrier calls you to schedule a delivery window and brings the pallet to your curb. Inspect the crate before you sign — note any damage on the delivery receipt and we'll sort out a replacement with the maker. Read the full answer
- What's your return policy?
- Thirty days. If it isn't right for your yard, email us within 30 days of delivery and we'll walk you through the return. Items come back by mail or freight in original packaging; return shipping is the customer's cost unless the item arrived damaged or defective, and some freight items carry a maker restocking fee we quote before you commit.

- Can I pay over time?
- Shop Pay Installments is available at checkout on qualifying orders. Plans, rates and approval are decided by Shop Pay — we show an estimate only, never a promise. Read the full answer
