From supply chain changes to price increases, we’ve covered the impacts of tariffs on the grill industry quite extensively. The focus though has been on how grill brands with an international supply chain are adapting to the changes. The theory behind the tariffs is to promote manufacturing in the US.
It only makes sense to also check-in with a grill company that manufactures in the US to see how tariffs have impacted their business. I caught up with Ryan Zboril, owner of Pitts & Spitts, a grill company based in Houston, Texas. I’ve toured their facility before and watched how they turn raw sheets of US steel into finished grills.
