Our Story

"Born from the open flames of Terra Firma Dining, Terra Grills brings the raw beauty of open fire cooking cooking into everyone homes where meals are remembered, and fire becomes the heart of every gathering."

- Charly Pretet, Founder & Designer

At Terra Grills, we believe fire is more than just a way to cook; it’s a way to connect.

Since the beginning of time, people have gathered around the fire pit  to share food, stories, and memories.

The Portico Open-Fire Grill was born from that same spirit: to bring people together through the primal yet refined experience of cooking over fire.

Designed by chef and fire master Charly Pretet, the Portico is not just a barbecue, it’s a complete open-fire kitchen. Inspired by years of catering immersive fire dining events across Australia and beyond. The Portico has been tested in both households and large venues, proving that it can transform any gathering into a memorable occasion.

What sets Terra Grills apart is the way our products turn cooking into an experience.

With the Portico, preparing food becomes a performance, a moment of connection between cook and guest, host and family, fire and flavour. Whether in your backyard or at a grand event, the Portico is designed to create atmosphere, ignite conversation, and turn simple meals into unforgettable feasts.

At its heart, Terra Grills is about more than equipment—it’s about community, craft, and celebrating the raw beauty of cooking with fire.
