My family and I absolutely love our Gather Grill. We use it with charcoal all the time, and it’s become the centerpiece of our backyard gatherings. There’s just something special about everyone hanging around the grill, cooking together, relaxing, and actually spending quality time outside.
One of our favorite things is how versatile it is. After dinner, we usually pull the grates off and throw on a few oak logs to turn it into a bonfire pit. Later in the evening, once the fire settles down, we’ll toss a pizza into the pizza oven for late-night snacks or friends who showed up late. On Sundays, we switch things up and use the griddle for brunch — eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, the works.
Honestly, it’s been a huge win for our family. It combines a grill, fire pit, pizza oven, and griddle into one setup, which saves a ton of space on our patio while creating an awesome atmosphere for hanging out together. I would 100% recommend the Gather Grill to any family looking for a fun way to cook outdoors and reconnect with each other.
I have a GG Pioneer and loved it so much I purchased a Mini for smaller daily grilling. I've been using it non-stop and love being able to rotate on and off direct heat, using the griddle is amazing and then finishing with removing the grates and having the kids make smores over the fire is second to none. Highly recommend. Bomb proof grills from these guys!
We got our grill 3 months ago and have enjoyed it! We have it set up in our patio area and have outdoor string lights hung up.😍✨ When we grill, it’s like a little oasis- we play music and all hang out around the fire after we’re done eating. My husband loves cooking on it-breakfast, steaks, stir-fry, you name it! And I love that I can be right there with him while he’s cooking!
We love having friends gather around the grill with us! We’ve had as many as 7 people around the mini one time and it was a blast!
I got my Mini in August and have had so much fun exploring different ways to use it! Though I have not done pizza yet, direct grilling, reverse searing, and 6-8 hour smoking has all been successful!
It took me a couple times to get the long, slow smoking down, but now I feel very confident in the results. I use the "Snake" method, where hot coals start on one end, and a line of charcoal and smoking wood chunks circle the perimeter of the firebox. I have successfully slow smoked salmon, pork shoulder, whole chickens (spatchcocked), brisket and chuck roast. Once you learn to control the heat, the results are wonderful!
I love this grill and fire pit. There is so much variety of how to cook and serve food and entertain.
I have had the privilege of being served from one of the grills. The grill is such a fantastic idea and works so good. The food was awesome too. Just being around the rest of the family made all the difference in the world. It looked to be very well built and easy to use. The name says it all... Gather (with friends and family) grills. Love it!
Talk about a great grill the little mini has it going on. It has so many features on it from the pizza oven to the fire pit, but the coolest one is how it spins like a lazy Susan to get whatever you are grilling off the heat. Another great feature is the table around it so you can gather with your loved ones and chat with the chef. I highly recommend this wonderful grill.
I am super impressed with the versatility of this grill. This perfectly replaced my built in Big Green egg, and offers a lot more versatility and a higher end finish. Easily switches from high heat to indirect and is my new go to for steaks.
This grill is so cool, we get to use it as a family gathering centerpiece and even open up one of the sections so the kids can help cook when they want to. It been a fun grill to have.
The Mini is one of the most versatile grills on the market that I have ever owned. I’ve cooked steaks, hamburgers, vegetables, sausage, pancakes, bacon, and much more on this grill. The ability to spin the middle of the grill to utilize hot zones and take food on and off the heat is extremely intuitive. It makes grilling much easier for a novice like me. There still is a learning curve to it, as with any live fire cooking, but I am excited to tackle this challenge using the Mini. I’ve had anywhere from one person to up to six people around the grill at once. Being able to cook and serve food right off the grill is an awesome experience, and one that I recommend to everybody.
I've used a lot of charcoal grills, but the social aspect of this one is unique. We had friends over last weekend and everyone sat around the grill cooking their own skewers, which was a lot of fun. The surprise hit for me was the pizza oven setup. I was able to get a crispy crust that rivals dedicated pizza ovens. It’s expensive, but it replaces a table, a fire pit, a grill, and a smoker, so the value is there and well worth it.
This is an awesome grill to entertain guests and perfect for a small family
Fantastic grill to socialize around. Love the spinning top grill for cooking multiple items at once. Really love this grill
I did the pre-order after seeing it and thought what an unique and amazing idea. When it finally came I was blown away. Very well built and works just as described. All my kids love it and fight over who can spin the grill. I've done a few cooks on it and very happy each time. Can't wait to finally try out the pizza grill option. Definitely a must buy.
I cannot say enough about the versatility and amazing design of the gather grill mini. This thing does it all. Highly recommended.
I haven’t had this long but so far I am very impressed with the quality and function.
This is a great grill. It looks sharp and is very versatile.
The mini is the coolest grilling item on the market. To be able to seat 4-5 people around an active grill is so cool. We've loved using it as a friend group and family.
The Gather Grill arrived a month ago and my family has since cooked: wings, burgers, pizza, peach cobbler, & s’mores. Tonight, cinnamon rolls in a cast iron skillet are being added to the list of cooking feats. Several nights we’ve used it simply as a fire pit.
The grill does exactly what its name says it does….it Gathers. It could also be named the Linger Longer grill because it does that too.
It is usually the kids that spark the usage….“can we use the Gather Grill tonight?”
Of course!
You don’t need permission. Just go buy it then read my review to confirm you made the right decision!
I’ve put this thing through its paces—steaks, burgers, pork chops, veggies—you name it, the Mini Gather Grill has handled it like a champ. The stainless steel grates and griddle give you restaurant-level sears without the restaurant-level stress. And the temperature control? Spot on. It’s like cruise control for your cookout.
And here’s the kicker—the bottom pizza oven area isn’t just for pizza (though, yes, I’ve crisped up a mean margherita). I’ve used it for potatoes, sides, and bread. Basically, it’s the part of the grill that makes me look like I have a sous chef hiding in the bushes.
From the grill to the company itself, you will not be disappointed.
