Just over a year ago 67 year old, semi-retired Atlanta based entrepreneur and food fanatic Ray Palermo came to Kickstarter with an ambitious vision: create the world’s greatest naturally fired cooker for restaurant quality, amazing meals. By any stretch of the imagination the QUADCooker, an absolute gamechanger for home cooks everywhere succeeded. In their first ever foray into crowdfunding Ray and his beautiful wife of 45 years succeeded, hitting 166% of their goal and getting this ultra-high heat cooker into the hands of foodies everywhere.
Over the past year Ray and Luchi received hundreds of emails from backers around the nation with photos of the amazing meals they made with the QUAD, and were inspired to further refine the design and redefine what cooking can be. One day a challenge was raised by Ray’s grandkids that would forever transform the face of the company, “Make a QUAD we can take to the park!”
Several months, many mistakes and plenty of prototypes later the HEXX Cooker was born. The HEXX is the super versatile, picnic portable, actually affordable cooker Ray and Luchi are bringing back to Kickstarter starting September 30th. With a patented insulation technology known as the QUADRock and a revolutionary grill face the HEXX Cooker delivers restaurant quality, 900˚F+ temps while maintaining constant, even cooks over a wide range of culinary creations. From tantalizing tailgates with beautiful brats, savory stir-fry served up in the park or the most mouthwatering steaks imaginable right at home you’ll find the amazing chef quality results the HEXX delivers to be truly one of a kind.
In order to accomplish the ambitious goals of truly portable, perfectly savory cooking and making mouth’s water everywhere the founders, Ray and Luchi, have decided to go again to Kickstarter to raise the funding. The team is seeking an all-important $10k all or nothing project goal to make HEXX the best grill….anywhere, come to life. If you are interested in joining in the movement and taking your grill master game to the next level or just want to learn more you can check out the Cooking with Fire team in their Kickstarter campaign launching September 30th.
