LoCo Cookers has released a new 2-burner griddle that's available exclusively at The Home Depot. Retailing for $299, it has their popular SmartTemp for dialing in your griddle surface temperature. Unlike their other griddles that have a digital dial, this one is cordless.
Ooni's financials for 2022 were released this week. They had flat revenue year-over-year, but operating income was crushed
by the crazy inbound freight costs. All things considered, ending the year at breakeven is better than many outdoor cooking companies can say.
For this year, Ooni will get a little marketing boost heading into the holiday season. The electric Ooni Volt 12 was included on Oprah's Favorite Things list. Many people shop from that list and it gets reported on by a lot of different news sources.
Finally, Char-Broil has taken an important step in promoting their
modular outdoor kitchen line. They added a planner to their website, so you can now build the outdoor kitchen of your dreams and even see it in your space through a QR code on your phone. It's a necessary technology advancement to compete with companies like RTA Outdoor Living and sell direct to consumers.
