Outdoorchef Barbecue Grills

Outdoorchef is a renowned brand in the barbecue industry, specifically credited with innovating the gas kettle grill. Founded in Switzerland, the brand revolutionized outdoor cooking with its unique funnel system that prevents flare-ups and allows for both direct and indirect grilling. This 'Easy Flip' technology has made it a favorite among barbecue enthusiasts who value precision and versatility in their cooking equipment.

The global operations of Outdoorchef are managed out of Switzerland, where the product design and engineering take place. While the heart of the brand is Swiss, manufacturing is largely outsourced to specialized facilities in Asia, particularly China, to ensure scalability while maintaining rigorous European quality standards. Today, the brand remains a leader in the premium BBQ market across Europe.

The brand was originally part of the Swiss company DKB (Diethelm Keller Brands). As of the current landscape heading into 2026, Outdoorchef operates under the ultimate ownership of the Diethelm Keller Group, a major Swiss holding company with a diverse portfolio. They continue to distribute their high-end grills through a network of local subsidiaries and specialized retail partners across the globe.
