-
Tyler Hammers – Orgill Manager
Q: What are some important trends you see?
Orgill: What we see more often is that buyers often compare models online before you complete your purchase in the shop, where the opportunity to touch, open and feel the grill is critical. Processing quality, lid weight and general robustness strongly influence the purchase decisions, so that the ability to actually see the product personally is still critical.
Pellet and gas grills lead to growth in terms of product trends. We also see an increased interest in portable models for tailgers, camping and small space.
The shopping experience has become so much more complex than ordering a grill. While the grill itself is still a lucrative sale, there are enormous opportunities for add-on sales. Of course there are the must-have accessories tools (spatula, grill brushes, pliers, etc.), which are a natural addition to the purchase. However, the category of accessories has become much lower and offers a wider product range that complements a grill and are great cooking improvements for the consumer.
The variety of different fuels that are now available also affects the category because we see alternatives to traditional gas and charcoal growth in popularity. This trend offers great possible uses for retailers through the sale of articles such as premium charm carbon or pellets that significantly improve the taste.
Another niche area that has grown immensely are sauces, rubbing and spices. There is a great interest in this among consumers, and this category quickly expanded. There are some delicious spices that really improve experience and it is a great addition to the shops. It is also a great way to bring regular customers to the store.
Q: What innovations or newer grill lines do you look forward to the autumn and holiday season?
Orgill: An example that comes to mind is Correyqs new 10-fire professional. This new grill style brings some innovations to the pellet grill market. This grill offers traditional gas grants the gas experience they love, but with all the comfort, taste and control of cooking with wood pellet. The X-Fire Pro has a dual mode cooking: smoke mode (wooden grill experience with temperature control. Ideal for all your low and slow favorites) and grill mode (hot and fast, open, practical grill experience that you would get from a conventional gas grill).
Another area is the growing popularity of grill tops in the outdoor Griddle style. RESPEQ's Smokestone Griddle is the first wooden consumption of the world. In contrast to other grids on the market, the Sahlstein Rauzstufe Propan does not use. It is fully fueled by the technology that you can find in wood pellet grills. This unique frying pan has a digital controller that automatically keeps your chosen temperature. Comes with a 4-year guarantee.
Many grills offer add-on functions that complement and improve the grill experience. For many customers, the shelves are a popular choice, and new accessories offer additional cooking options that continue to lead to popularity. With these types of accessories, customers can now grill pizza's grilling, a frying post, make wok cooking, rotisseries and much more. Some even offer several fuel options. Napoleon offers a charcoal conversion kit that converts a gas grill into charcoal fuel. The Broil King Baron series offers a play-changing technology that offers an add-on function that converts a gas grill into a pellet smoker!
Q: Which grill provider partners do you currently work together and/or bring you on board?
Orgill: Our current provider listing is stronger than ever with brands that offer better functions, higher quality, more competitive price points and stronger dealer margins. We introduce several new programs for 2026, including a new Napoleon program that offers a wide range of prices that appeal to a wide range of buyers. Napoleon is proud of her commitment to quality and performance in every grill that you make.
We also organize a new Broil King program that has been a leading brand in the category for decades. Broil King gas grills are manufactured in North America. And as I have already mentioned, we continue to strengthen our Pellet Grill category, known for your robust stainless steel construction, which built your pellet grills “like a tank”.
These additions strengthen our already strong portfolio of brands, which includes trustworthy names such as Traeger, Big Green Egg, Masterbuilt, Coleman, Char-Broil, Dyna-Glo, Camp Chef and more. This selection width ensures that our dealers have access to the best brands, the best programs and the best ways to expand their grill sales. It also enables flexibility in the ranges. In this way, the dealer has a variety of brand options to select the products that best meet the unique requirements of its market.
Q: What are the latest trends in the outdoor kitchen and how does Or Or Or Organician help its dealers to be ahead of the curve with new products and technologies?
Orgill: The outdoor kitchen continues to attract consumers. It is a common experience that brings people together.
Even if sales with slower sales in some categories in some categories in some home improvements dare to grow in growth in home improvement, brands in the grill area keep the energy up through partnerships with influencers, chefs and celebrities. Companies also use more targeted advertising and strong messaging from social media. The combination of partnerships and focused media messages helps these cooperation in inspiration and encourages people to experiment with new recipes, accessories and cooking techniques.
A main topic we see is that you position the cooking outdoors as funny, creative and a little adventurous – which of course controls the demand for equipment that can keep up. Orgill helps the dealers to use this dynamic with curated ranges, from manufacturers supported marketing, grill events, targeted advertising campaigns and seasonal merchandising strategies that keep the independent relevant, competitive and trends.
Q: Which grill brands or types sell well and what do your dealers see in the corridors?
Orgill: Pellet grills remain popular, whereby Traeger continues to adhere to its place as a dominant brand in this category. Our Coleman Grill program introduced in 2024 exceeded expectations and offers a high -quality range that reaches important price points and benefits from strong brand recognition.
Our best ranges with good-bed provisions, supported by manufacturers, supported pop and merchandising AIDs as well as accessories cross-merchandising, will help our dealers to create profitable departments for the target-worthy grill.
Q: Which key factors take into account Or Or Or Or Organization in the selection of brands or products to support the grill category?
Orgill: We monitor the grill category all year round and remain emerging trends, technological advances and shift in consumer preferences. It is also important that we listen to our dealers and feedback from our sales team because they interact with consumers every day. This type of feedback from the field is invaluable to identify opportunities and refine ranges.
Q: What are some tips for improving grill sales?
Orgill: One of the things that can have an immediate influence on their success in the category is to concentrate on building additional sales around the grills. Additional sales are the key to maximizing profitability. If the dealers do not really concentrate on how the effects of these sales they missed by the sales they trigger can be maximized. When selling a grill, you are willing to improve a cover to protect the investment, to offer fuel for immediate use, to recommend improved tools such as pliers, brushes and thermometers and to recommend sauces or create them for the first heads.
The Sauces/Rubs/Seasoning category also offers great up-selling potential. There are now sauces and rubbing for so many grill experiences. Offering a diverse range in this category promotes additional sales and regular customers.
Q: What predictions do you have forward in terms of grilling?
Orgill: We are optimistic in the grill category and are confident in the strength of the program that organic retailers have access to in 2026. Our line -up includes many of the most trustworthy and sought -after brands in the kitchen outdoors: Traeger, Big Green Egg, Napoleon, Broil King, Coleman, Respep, Choger, Camp Chef and much more.
With our mixture, retailers can offer everything, from pellet and gas via charcoal, hybrid and special grills, all of which are supported by strong provider support, advertising campaigns and high -quality accessories. We expect further growth of the premium characteristics, the versatility of the hybrid fuel and the associated technology as well as the constant demand for accessories and fuels.
