OUR STORY
Every Hooray grill is manufactured by hand in Hesston, Kansas. We are a family-owned company passionate about bringing the authentic Santa Maria style of grilling to backyards across America.
After years of entertaining guests at their former ranch, Eric and Wendy realized they needed a grill that could accommodate their growing circle of family and friends. They discovered Santa Maria style and made it their own.
The first Hooray grill was built in 2008 and became the center of attention at every cookout. Nobody had seen anything like it. After developing numerous prototypes — each one improving on the last — the Dunns created the ultimate open-fire cooking experience.
And you're invited. Join the party. Light the fire.
SANTA MARIA STYLE
Santa Maria style grilling originated in the Santa Maria Valley of California in the mid-1800s. Local ranchers would gather for community barbecues, cooking beef over red oak coals on adjustable iron grates.
What sets Santa Maria style apart is the crank-operated adjustable grate that lets you control the distance between your food and the fire. This gives you precise heat control — from searing hot to slow and low — all without adjusting the fire itself.
Our grills honor this tradition while incorporating modern engineering and premium materials. The result is the ultimate open-fire cooking experience that brings people together.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Every grill is hand-built with premium heavy-gauge steel and meticulous attention to detail. No shortcuts, no mass-production — just quality that lasts.
COMMUNITY
We believe in the power of gathering around the fire — sharing food, stories, and making memories. That's what Hooray is all about.
