Weber release the new Master-Touch 26", which has a really smart grate design. The middle of it can be fitted with the Weber Crafted accessories. That means you can seamlessly use their griddle, pizza stone, wok, etc. all on the grill.
Premium outdoor brand Coyote released the DUOMO Pizza Oven. It's a wood-fired oven that looks as good as it performs. I especially like the carbon fiber handles
on the oven door.
For anyone that wants a good summary of the pizza oven landscape, Fast Company put together a really good article on the subject. They did a great job of identifying the brand positioning of each pizza oven company.
Traeger issued a voluntary recall for their
Flatrock griddle that they released this year. The control knobs on the burners may be incorrectly labeled, which can lead to the griddle being left on unintentionally. If you have a Flatrock, check to see if yours has the issue. On the corporate side, they estimate the recall will cost $3 million - $4 million, but they re-affirmed their previous 2024 guidance.
Finally, SharkNinja, who recently ventured outdoors, appointed a new Chief Marketing Officer. He comes from PUMA, so
he has experience with well-known brands.
Enjoy Your Weekend!
