Camp Chef
The motto at Camp Chef is, no matter where you are, with Camp Chef, you’re never too far away from home. And, with their innovative and portable grill designs, they’ve made this statement true. Camp Chef is a unique company with deep roots burrowed into the great outdoor, and this is just one of the many things that give them a better understanding of what it takes to create and manufacture the perfect portable grill. It was back in 1990 when Ty Measom found himself both frustrated and inspired by the size and quality of the outdoor cooking equipment available on the market. He not only wanted something with the power to smoke up his favorite meats, but he wanted something that he could talk along with him on his treks. This is about the time that he created the first model, which lead to innovation in the industry.
While the models have improved and enhanced over the years, this first model was applauded by outdoorsmen everywhere and still is today. The company holds very true to its roots and puts the same craftsmanship into all their products.
