Rome Ind Barbeques

Rome Industries: A Legacy of Open-Fire Grilling

Rome Industries has been crafting open-fire cookware since 1964, and their barbeque grills and accessories are a natural extension of that six-decade heritage. Founded as a family business, Rome has grown into one of the most recognized names in campfire and outdoor cooking — and their barbecue lineup reflects the same philosophy that has made their pie irons iconic: purposeful design, durable materials, and real-world practicality.

Built for the Fire — At Camp or in Your Backyard

What sets Rome Industries apart in the barbeque category is their dual-environment versatility. As the brand itself puts it, their products are just as likely to be used on a BBQ grill or backyard firepit as over a campfire. This design mindset results in grills and baskets that perform whether you're tailgating, camping, or hosting a backyard cookout.

Rome's barbeque products are constructed from chrome-plated steel, offering a clean, durable cooking surface that resists rust and is easy to clean. Their designs are original and protected, reflecting decades of iterative refinement rather than off-the-shelf manufacturing.

Standout Products in the Rome Barbeque Lineup

• Tri-Pod Camping Grill (#117EZ): A flagship Rome design, this chrome-plated steel tri-pod features a 20.5" diameter grill grate that is vertically adjustable up to 20" over the fire. Despite standing 42" tall when assembled, it packs down to just 24" x 11" x 3" and sets up in 90 seconds without tools — a hallmark of Rome's space-conscious engineering.
• Pioneer Camp Grills (#124 & #128): Rome's folding Pioneer Grills offer a time-tested platform for cooking over live fire. The #124 model features four heavy-duty support bars and a 24" x 12.5" cooking surface, while the #128 is a lighter, more compact option for backpackers and minimalist campers. Both feature legs that fold flat for storage.
• Hamburger Grilling Basket (#64): Six welded wire "pockets" hold burgers, crab cakes, salmon patties, and more securely during grilling. At 9" x 13" with a 29" overall handle length, it keeps your hands safely away from the heat.
• Grill Basket (#63): Designed specifically for delicate foods like veggies and fish, this basket's tight-fitting edges and small grid pattern prevent food from falling into the fire — a thoughtful solution for foods that challenge traditional grate cooking.
• Campfire Ring Grill Grate (#123): Engineered to fit the 24" diameter truck-rim fire rings common at campgrounds, this heavy-duty chrome wire grate also works with a wide variety of backyard firepits, making it a versatile choice for grillers of all kinds.
