Middleby today, but it was founded by Bobby Brennan back in 2008. He’s now back in the live fire industry with a new company and product. The brand is Emberhaus, a luxury outdoor cooking brand, and the product they just released is a charcoal oven called Fire Oven.

motor compatible with any USB-C power source.
Ooni announced a new CEO at the beginning of last month. That wasn’t the only change though, as they continue to navigate this difficult sales environment, they laid off 50 people. This comes a year after they did another reduction in force.
Finally, Ace Hardware has partnered with Affirm to offer flexible payment options for in-store shopping. With grills being one of the more expensive categories at Ace, they
