PiRO bbq was founded in 2021 by Maarten de Wilde and was born out of a passion for outdoor cooking. I (Maarten) had purchased for my kamado an accessory to bake pizza and a rotisserie spit. Both accessories were not working optimally. There was room for improvement and I set to work with the following ambitions:

• One accessory for multiple functions.
• Being able to see what is happening in the kamado without losing heat.
• Apple quality. Beautiful design and robust execution.
• Locally produced as much as possible.

After two years of development there was a working prototype. A patent was applied for and when it was granted, the first series was produced. The hobby that got out of hand became a business: PiRO bbq.
