Engineered for Durability: Source High-Quality Grills, Not “Disposable” Metal
The outdoor cooking market demands ruggedness. A BBQ stand that rusts after one season or wobbles under the weight of meat damages your brand’s reputation. As your specialized sourcing partner in China, we connect you with the hardware factories in Yongkang and Guangdong that produce for top global outdoor brands. We ensure your products are built with the right steel gauge, heat-resistant coatings, and food-safety compliance.
BBQ Categories We Source
We provide access to factories capable of producing everything from budget-friendly promotional units to high-end backyard kitchens:
- Charcoal & Kettle Grills: Classic designs with porcelain-enameled bowls and ash catchers.
- Portable & Folding BBQ Stands: Lightweight, X-shape or suitcase-style designs perfect for camping and e-commerce shipping.
- Gas Grills (Propane/Natural Gas): Multi-burner units requiring strict valve safety checks (CE/CSA/AGA certified).

- Kamado & Ceramic Grills: Premium, heat-retaining ceramic cookers.
The Agent Value: Our Manufacturing Oversight
1. Material Thickness & Steel Grade
The difference between a premium grill and a cheap one is the gauge (thickness) of the metal.
- We Audit: We measure the cold-rolled steel thickness (e.g., 0.4mm vs. 0.8mm) to ensure the factory isn’t cutting costs.
- Stainless Steel Verification: We use chemical reagent tests to verify if the material is 304 (rust-proof) or 430 (magnetic, lower cost), ensuring you get exactly what you paid for.
2. Coating & Heat Resistance
Safety is non-negotiable. Poor quality paint peels under heat, releasing toxic fumes into food.
- Enamel Coating: We verify the porcelain enamel firing temperature to ensure it withstands 800°C+ without cracking.
- Powder Coating: For the legs and frame, we check adhesion to prevent peeling and rust.
- Food Grade Testing: We ensure cooking grates meet LFGB (Europe) and FDA (USA) food contact safety standards.
3. Stability & Structure
A wobbly BBQ stand is a safety hazard.
- Load Bearing Test: We pile weights (2x the rated capacity) to ensure legs don’t buckle.
- Assembly Check: We verify that screw holes align perfectly so your end customer doesn’t struggle during assembly.
Quality Control (QC) Protocols
Our inspection team performs rigorous testing on-site before your container is sealed:
- Salt Spray Test: Crucial for outdoor products. We test metal parts in a saline chamber to simulate years of weather exposure and ensure rust resistance.
- Drop Test: BBQ grills are heavy and prone to shipping damage. We drop-test the packaged cartons to ensure the product arrives without dents.
- Ignition Test (Gas Grills): Verifying that burners light up instantly and gas regulators don’t leak.
Why Source With Us?
- Access to “Hardware Capital”: We have deep networks in Yongkang (China’s hardware hub), allowing us to find competitive pricing on metal fabrication.
- Customization (OEM/ODM): Want to add a built-in thermometer, custom side-tables, or a branded logo plate? We handle the tooling and molding process.
- Logistics Optimization: BBQs are bulky. We help calculate the optimal “Loading Quantity” to maximize your container space and reduce shipping cost per unit.
