Outdoorchef

Founded in Zurich in 1996, Outdoorchef started out with a simple yet effective innovation: a gas kettle with a patented funnel system that channels heat and grease to enable safe, clean, and reliable grilling. This idea laid the basis for the brand’s commitment to an easy BBQ experience, combining Swiss design pragmatism, intuitive operation, and straightforward, customerfriendly guidance. Today, Outdoorchef ’s portfolio ranges from its heritage kettle grills to Heat gas stations – a modular outdoor kitchen system, and an upcoming electric grill. A distinctive feature of the Heat platform is its open system architecture. A universal module allows third-party built-in grills to be integrated, enabling flexible and expandable outdoor kitchen set-ups tailored to individual needs. Commercially, Outdoorchef has evolved from broad market coverage to a focused distributor model with strong local partners, strengthening pricing, retail execution, and coordinated European roll-outs. Diethelm Keller Group has been a long-standing shareholder of Outdoorchef and has actively supported the brand, facilitating partnerships with leading retailers and collaboration with sister companies such as Burn Outdoor Kitchen.
