Smart, safe, and reliable -- American Hotbox products are reshaping the way Americans think about roasting.

Barbecue is a cherished style of American cooking. From the backyards of Texas to the roasting shacks of North Carolina and everywhere in between, people all around the country love the taste of fresh, juicy smoked meat.

The only problem? It takes an expert, a lot of expensive equipment, and a ton of time to make.

For the everyday consumer, getting a plate full of roasted meat means going to a restaurant, hiring a caterer, or spending the time and money to do yourself - which many people do not have the resources or skills to do.
 

For caterers, chefs, BBQ competitors, and even farmers, the time it takes to roast a big — traditionally, 14 to 20 hours minimum — makes it nearly impossible to profit from. The process is too time consuming, and the revenue earned from doing it does not equal the many hours spent prepping, cooking, and cleaning up after it.

The problem is a simple one to spot: roasting takes too long.
Traditional roasting boxes have tried and failed to innovate and find new ways to shorten roasting times while preserving food quality.

A solution to that problem is American Hotbox. 

An All-American company that takes pride in all of its products. American Hotbox is revolutionizing the way people roast, smoke, and barbecue. Powered by a charcoal design that utilizes top-down heat to create a convection effect. This innovation creates substantial time efficiencies as compared to conventional roasting tools.

American Hotbox products function like a dutch oven without the need for batteries, gas, or electricity. Made from American sourced solid stainless steel, our handcrafted units are versatile, reliable, and unlike anything else on the market.
