Good Morning! 

Ooni has a new electric pizza oven coming out for use in the kitchen. A little over two years after they first moved indoors with the Volt 12, they're releasing the Volt 2.

It has a big temperature range from 200 degrees F all the way up to 850 degrees F. It also has a bigger viewing window, nicer controls, and an overall sleeker look to it. What's most surprising is they made all these improvements but they're also releasing it at a much cheaper price.

Pitts & Spitts grills and smokers are made from heavy duty steel right here in the USA. I know, I’ve toured their facility in Houston, Texas and seen a sheet of steel get molded into a beautiful smoker by skilled craftsmen. They’ve recently expanded their line-up with the Built-In Pellet Grill, the Griddle, and new touchscreen controller.

As a family-owned business, they’re looking to partner with other local businesses. If you own a dealer and are looking to carry high quality cookers that customers won’t find in big box stores, give them a call at their shop at 844-650-6250 or email them at sales@pittsandspitts.com!

Academy Sports reported earnings this week and had a heathy revenue increase over last year. They noted that they're continuing to take share in outdoor cooking, a trend that's been happening for at least a couple years at this point.

They're also seeing higher traffic from wealthier consumers. There's a dynamic playing out where they're losing traffic from their lowest quintile by income, but more than making up for it with the higher income brackets.

Grilla Grills' parent company, American Outdoor Brands, also reported earnings this week. Their sales were hit pretty hard on the quarter, but they said that Grilla performed well relative to other outdoor brands in their portfolio. With the headwinds they're feeling, they likened the market to 2023.

Finally, just in time for football, recteq has released the Road Warrior 340P Rivalry Edition. It's a collapsible pellet grill designed for tailgating. It comes in a variety of lid colors to match your favorite team.

Pellet grills from GMG do things that other grills can't. It's apparent without even having to get to the technical specs. Getting the most out of your grill comes from its ability to cook as many different ways possible. Sure, a GMG pellet grill will make a killer brisket and pork butt, but other food is unlocked with accessories like a side burner, rotisserie, a pizza oven, and a rack system for optimizing space.
