FIRE UP THE GOOD TIMES.
Eric and Wendy Dunn believe the best experiences happen when people gather around a fire with great food. That philosophy drives everything we build.
“We designed our grill to rekindle the art of cooking out and spending time together.”
— Eric Dunn
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 grilling and adapted it for the heartland.
The first Hooray grill was completed 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.
SANTA MARIA STYLE GRILLING.
Santa Maria style grilling originated in the Santa Maria Valley of California in the 1800s. Local ranchers would gather for community cookouts, cooking beef over red oak coals on adjustable iron grates. They created barbecue pits by digging trenches and filling them with native red oak.
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. Hooray grills never fail to captivate and entertain.
