It’s Fourth of July today, and while you and I are maybe grilling up burgers and hot dogs to celebrate—a nice steak or maybe a whole fish if we’re feeling fancy—those fortunate enough to own an open-fire grill by Fire Made are having an entirely different experience cooking outdoors. They may be hanging up several whole chickens to slow-cook over flames, roasting a half dozen large lamb rumps on grates, sautéeing seasonal veggies in a pan, and char-cooking beets directly on the embers—all on one grill. Thanks to its multiple tiers, even their smallest Portico Grill can accommodate a surprising amount of food.
But perhaps most appealing is the built-in drama that comes with using this minimalist grill. Because of its open sides, the cooking is on full display—every sizzle, drip, searing can be appreciated by all.
