Where Craftsmanship Meets Outdoor Foodcraft
Five generations of American craftsmanship and a shared passion for outdoor cooking come together to create tools that give you the control, confidence, and consistency to master your foodcraft.
Our Story
Rocket Outdoors is rooted in five generations of metal fabrication, dating back to 1958. We’ve been shaping metal for decades, and building quality products with true rural American craftsmanship.
Over time, that experience met something else we cared deeply about, outdoor cooking. We wanted grills that combined intuitive design, precise control, faster cook times, lasting performance, and made gathering outside more enjoyable. When we couldn’t find equipment that met our expectations, we built it ourselves.
Today, every Rocket Outdoors product brings together that heritage of craftsmanship with a passion for amazing grilled food. We build more than equipment. We build tools to help you master your foodcraft, entertain with confidence, and experience the finest in outdoor cooking, every time you lift the lid.
Why We’re Excited About
Outdoor Foodcraft
GRILLING IS ABOUT MORE THAN PREPARING FOOD. It’s the smell of charcoal in the evening air. The sound of laughter drifting across the patio. The quiet focus as you tend the fire, anticipating the mouthwatering delights to come. Outdoor cooking draws people in. It slows the pace. It turns ordinary evenings into something worth remembering.
At Rocket Outdoors, we believe outdoor cooking is a craft worth refining. When you begin to refine your foodcraft, something shifts. You cook with more intention. You experiment and gain confidence. What once felt stressful becomes enjoyable. You’re no longer making dinner, you’re shaping an experience.
And with that confidence comes freedom. Grill, bake, smoke, roast; your grill, your way. Outdoor cooking becomes an outlet for creativity and hospitality. It’s where stories are shared, traditions are built, and friends linger just a little longer.
MOST OF ALL, IT’S ABOUT CONNECTION. When you can entertain with confidence, you’re free to enjoy the moment. You’re present at the table. You’re pleased with what you’ve created. And everyone around you can share in the experience.
Rocket Outdoors was built by people who love this experience as much as you do. Who believe the finest outdoor cooking isn’t about flash, but about mastery, memories, and meaningful gatherings.

Common Questions
What’s the difference between the Silver Rocket and Sonic Rocket Grills?
The Silver Rocket is made from 304 stainless steel for maximum durability and long-term use, while the Sonic Rocket uses aluminum with a powder-coated finish for a lighter, more economical option. Both use the same core cooking system and deliver similar performance.
Do the Silver Rocket and Sonic Rocket grills come in the same sizes?
The Small and Medium models share the same size grilling surface. Overall dimensions vary slightly between the two lines, but they are very similar. The Silver Rocket also includes a Large size, which is not available in the Sonic Rocket line.
How much grilling space do the Silver Rocket and Sonic Rockets Grills offer?
Grilling space varies by size: Small is 11½” × 17½” (201 sq in), Medium is 16″ × 23″ (368 sq in), and the Large Silver Rocket is 20″ × 32″ (640 sq in).
How long does it take for the grills to reach cooking temperature?
Typically 15–20 minutes, depending on charcoal, airflow settings, and weather conditions.
How do I know when it’s time to replace the gasket?
Replace the gasket when you notice smoke leaking around the lid or if the material becomes hard and brittle.
What is the difference between ceramic grills and Rocket Grills?
Rocket Outdoors grills have a rectangular cooking surface and use an insulated metal design instead of ceramic. They won’t crack or break, heat up faster, use less charcoal, and maintain steady temperatures with precise airflow control. The sealed, double-wall construction helps retain heat and moisture for consistent results.
