Read Our Google Reviews

  • Most grills put the cook at the edge of the gathering. Sudfire brings the fire, food and people into the same circle.

    A real wood fire heats a substantial 360° carbon-steel cooking surface, giving you room to sear, cook, finish and serve without leaving the conversation.

    Fire. Food. Fellowship.

  • Steak, chicken, fish, vegetables, breakfast, burgers, tacos and full shared meals — all on one cooking surface.

  • Sear closer to the fire, cook across the middle, and move food outward for gentler heat, finishing and holding.

  • The Hearth is both a serious cooking instrument and a place people naturally gather around.

    Your How It Works page already supports the three-zone and simple-care story.

Why Sudfire Exists

While living and playing professional basketball in the South of France, I experienced a different way of gathering.

Through my fiancée and her family, I discovered the brasero—a circular live-fire grill that kept the fire, food, cook, and guests in one shared space. People cooked together, talked longer, and stayed well after the meal was finished.

When I returned to California, I wanted to bring that experience home.

So I created Sudfire: a live-fire centerpiece built not only for cooking, but for the moments that happen around it.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Sudfire makes premium, 360° live-fire grills inspired by the brasero tradition of the South of France. A central wood fire heats a substantial carbon-steel cooking surface, allowing the host and guests to cook, serve, and gather around the same circle.

  • Hearth 34 offers a 34-inch cooking surface for everyday meals, patios, and gatherings of up to 12.

    Hearth 39 offers a 39-inch surface for frequent entertaining, larger outdoor spaces, and gatherings of up to 20.

  • A regular grill has one heat zone and a lid between you and your guests. The Hearth has three: a center opening for a removable cast-iron grate over direct flame, a surrounding carbon-steel plancha ring for griddle cooking, and the option to pull the grate and run it as an open fire pit. One fire, three ways to cook, no lid — so the person cooking is still part of the conversation.
