Flame Tamer pairs with HitchFire grills to deliver focused cooking heat while preserving your cargo space for overlanding gear and supplies. This hitch-mounted heat-management solution embodies Tailgate Freedom with 180-degree swing-away access, so you can open the tailgate without losing cooking efficiency. Designed for rugged real-world use, it anchors in a standard 2-inch receiver and integrates seamlessly with rigs like Toyota Tacoma, Ford Bronco, and Sprinter when the HitchFire grill system is mounted. The two-piece stainless heat-management panels sit directly atop HitchFire grills, offering edge-to-edge heat control across the entire cooking area and minimizing hotspots—even with thick steaks or delicate fish. The brushed satin stainless finish stands up to dust, mud, and rain, and wipes clean after dusty expeditions. Forge 15 grill is 15k BTU; F-20 grill is 20k BTU with upgraded stainless steel components. Life at the Hitch™ integration keeps cargo space available for gear while you cook, delivering simple installation, rugged reliability, and ready-to-cook performance in challenging environments. Pull up. swing out. adventure on.

Pull Up. Swing Out. Adventure On.

This is more than a tagline—it’s a way of life for those who live to escape the pavement.

With HitchFire, the journey doesn’t end when you park—it begins. Pull up to your favorite trailhead, campsite, beach bluff, or racetrack. Swing out our patent-pending dual arm and suddenly, you’ve got a fully functioning grill or cook station right at your tailgate—no tools, no hassle, no wasted time. It’s built to move with you, not slow you down.

LEVEL UP YOUR COOKING GAME

Whether you're grilling burgers in the backcountry or prepping coffee at a sunrise trailhead, HitchFire brings serious functionality to your outdoor kitchen. And it’s not just about convenience—it’s about trust. Our products have logged thousands of miles with our community, across deserts, coastlines, and mountain passes. The same grill you fire up in Moab is the one you’ll be using at the tailgate in Tuscaloosa.

Rugged, refined, and ridiculously easy to use—this is outdoor cooking done right.

Keep the Mess & Smell outside

With HitchFire’s hitch-mounted grills and cook stations, you keep the action (and the odors) exactly where they belong—outside. No more stinking up your ride with bacon grease or scrubbing pots in a cramped sink. Our systems give you the freedom to cook big, clean up fast, and get back to what matters.

Add an integrated sink basin, faucet hookup, and side prep surfaces, and you’ve got a full-blown kitchen in the fresh air. Sizzle, sear, and clean—without dragging the dirt and smoke back indoors.
