Background/History

We are an information source of grilling tips, FAQs, and recipes, and we design and sell t-shirts, aprons, caps, coasters and accessories for the GrillJunkie in all of us to celebrate America's pastime... grilling and spending time with family and friends!

GrillJunkie set up shop in early Spring of 2005. We started as just a gathering of friends with an idea and a passion for grilling. Since establishing ourselves, we've developed our charter here at GrillJunkie "to celebrate and express the healthy addiction we share for grilling and the time that we share with family and friends". Based out of Chelmsford, MA, the GrillJunkie team strives to do business with honesty, respect, and integrity.

We design the apparel and accessories that we'd wear and sell them for prices that we'd pay. And most importantly, we treat our customers like we'd expect to be treated.

All of the designs on our site are our own. If there is something you love, like, or hate, let us know.

Your addiction is our addiction. It's all about you and your GrillJunkie experience.

All the best,

The GrillJunkie Team
