The Philosophy

Not A Grill.
A Fire
Structure.

A live-fire cooker is a permanent piece of equipment or it is not worth owning. That is the standard we build to.

A Brasero is a permanent acquisition. 1/4" heavy plate carbon steel. Mortared firebrick-lined cooking chamber. Pre-seasoned solid-rod steel cooking grates. A high-heat food-contact coating on the iron cross, chosen so the surface holds up to direct contact with food at live-fire temperatures.

We build the Argentine parrilla tradition into every unit, Brasero fire management, adjustable grate control, the live fire methodology serious asadors have used for generations. Wrapped in American fabrication that positions this alongside the finest outdoor cooking equipment in the world.

Every Detail Deliberate.

01
Food-Contact Coated Iron Cross

A high-heat food-contact coating on the iron cross, the 60-series signature. No flaking, no off-gassing, no compromise. Chosen so the surface holds up to direct contact with food at live-fire temperatures.

02
Cast Iron Chrome Crank

Cast iron chrome plated crank wheel. Precision height control, smooth under load. The signature feature that makes your neighbors ask what that thing is.

03
Golf Cart Wheels & Custom Rims

The La Fortaleza La Rueda Edition runs on golf cart wheels with custom black rims. The visual statement that stops everyone cold. Paired with the wagon wheel frame, this is the centerpiece.

04
1/4" Heavy Plate Steel

Quarter-inch American plate as standard construction, not an upgrade. Full quarter-inch plate. Holds heat for hours. Survives decades of live fire. When you stand next to one you feel the difference immediately.

05
Mortared Firebrick Lining

Thermal mass that gas grills cannot approach. The mortared firebrick lining keeps heat even, extends your fuel, and produces the radiant heat that makes Argentine asado what it is.

06
Built In House. Shipped Nationwide.

Every unit fabricated by hand in our Long Island shop and shipped across the continental US via freight. White-glove options available. The team that forged it stays with the build from steel to delivery.

Brasero Santa Maria with full rotisserie system over live fire
Rotisserie Integration

Live Flame. Spit Roast.
Asado.

Available as a build option on every fabricated Brasero. Heavy-duty motorized spit, fully welded uprights, balanced for suckling pig, lamb, porchetta, turkey, hams, or multiple birds and roasts.

Cooks over the same brasero firebox that runs the grate. One fire, two cooking systems, full control of both. Built into the rig from the first cut of steel, not bolted on after.

"We didn't build a grill company. We built the tool that didn't exist, and then couldn't stop building it."

Own The Fire® Culinary Group was built on twenty years of professional kitchen experience and a simple observation: the equipment available for live fire cooking didn't meet the standard serious cooks demanded.

We studied the Argentine asado tradition, built the first Brasero for ourselves, and watched what happened when people saw it in action. The questions followed. Then the commissions. Then the Forge Collection.

Every Brasero is built by hand in our Long Island fabrication shop and delivered across the continental US. That is not a marketing promise. That is how it works.

"Suckling pig on the iron cross. Wagyu tri-tip on the Santa Maria grates. Smoked pineapple. Fresh chimichurri. Everything cooked at its own pace over oak and cherry. Controlled by adjusting the heights on both the cross and the grates."

"Built two Santa Maria grills before I learned the brasero is everything. The extra steel from my smoker build became my first Santa Maria. Wanted live fire. Did my research. Built it. Got it completely wrong."
