Germany
Burnhard is a German direct-to-consumer barbecue brand that has grown into one of Europe's biggest online grill sellers since launching in 2018.
Known for: gas barbecues, pizza ovens and smokers sold direct to the customer. Started in Düsseldorf as an offshoot of the cookware retailer Springlane, Burnhard began by selling other brands from a small 'grill garage' and listening closely to customer feedback before releasing its own gas grill, FRED, in 2018.
Engineered in Germany and manufactured in Asia, the brand sells directly online with no dealer mark-ups, which keeps prices low across all major European markets. Burnhard is popular for value-priced quality — a budget-friendly Weber alternative — though some owners note durability isn't quite at the level of premium marques.
