Our Story: How Lite-Rite Came Home
In the beginning the first Lite-Rite prototypes were built right here in the USA. We had to prove the idea worked, a grill that could light charcoal in three minutes with no lighter fluid. Once we knew it was real we moved into mass production in Mexico to get grills into people’s hands and test the demand.
That worked. People wanted Lite-Rite. But we knew the real way to make it right was to bring it back home. Now every Lite-Rite is forged in American steel and built where we can keep an eye on the quality.
When it is built here we know the steel, we know the hands putting it together, and we know it is solid. That is how we make sure every Lite-Rite lights fast and holds up year after year.
Stainless Carriage Bolt Assembly. No Clips.
The whole Lite-Rite is built with stainless carriage bolts tightened to spec. No clips and no shortcuts. Every part of the grill from the barrel to the frame is assembled this way so it stays solid for years. Every nut is locked down with a washer. It takes us longer to build them but it is the quality you deserve.
Forged for Families
We build grills for families to gather around, so it is only right we support families facing the hardest fights. Lite-Rite has pledged to donate part of its profits to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital every year.
