Martinsen is a family-owned Danish manufacturer that has been building charcoal barbecues since 1973.

**Known for:** premium charcoal kettle grills and built-in barbecue kitchens. Run by the Martinsen family as Martinsen Nordic A/S, the brand designs simple, functional grills in the Scandinavian tradition, built from stainless steel and aluminium to withstand the harsh Nordic climate.

Its kettle barbecues — the 1500, 1600 and 1800 models — use a patented insert system that collects grease and ash while pre-heating the combustion air, improving cooking performance and cutting charcoal use. The result is a grill admired for its craftsmanship, beautiful finish and very long lifespan, making it a design-led alternative to Weber's classic kettles.
