Meet the Commander: Built for Fire, Built to Last

See the Commander in action and watch the adjustable grates and live-fire cooking system in action.

There’s something satisfying about a grill that feels solid the moment you put your hands on it…

Two Grilling Styles. One Grill.

One of the things that makes this setup unique is the split cooking surface design.

On one side, you get an Argentine V-grate with drip pan that channels grease away from the fire for cleaner cooking and controlled flare-ups.

On the other side, you get a round rod Santa Maria–style grate that delivers traditional open-fire cooking and excellent heat exposure.

This combination gives you the flexibility to cook different foods, different styles, and different temperatures at the same time.

Whether you're:

• Reverse searing steaks
• Grilling vegetables over a gentler heat
• Cooking chicken with less flare-up
• Running multiple cooking zones for a crowd

…the split grate setup gives you options.

Precision Heat Control with Adjustable Cooking Grates

One of the features that stands out immediately is the dual wheel lift system.

With smooth height adjustment, you can raise or lower the cooking surface over the fire to dial in the perfect cooking temperature. Bring the grate close for searing steaks and burgers, or lift it higher for slower cooking and better temperature management.

That simple mechanical control gives you a level of flexibility that gas grills just can’t match.

Multiple Cooking Zones for Real Outdoor Cooking

This setup also features separate cooking areas, making it easier to cook different foods at different temperatures.

Whether you’re:

• Searing steaks over direct heat
• Finishing vegetables at a gentler temperature
• Rotisserie cooking for even roasting
• Managing a full family cookout

…the Commander gives you room to work.

Why Live Fire?

Cooking over wood or charcoal creates something different.

The heat feels different.
The flavor is different.
The experience is different.

There’s a reason people gather around fire.

If you’ve been thinking about stepping beyond traditional grilling and into true live-fire cooking, the Commander was built for exactly that.
