Recently opened in the lower level of Curto’s Appliances in Yonkers, Ring of Fire was started because owner Jonathan Giannettino saw a need in the greater-NYC-metro area for a hands-on retail experience solely focused on specialty outdoor cooking and living. Ring of Fire offers outdoor cooking products and outdoor kitchens, carrying marquee lines like Weber but also unique brands, such as Alfresco, Yoder smokers, Alfa pizza ovens, Memphis Grills, and Goldens Cast Iron kamados, among others.
“Typically, if someone is going to buy a grill, they go to a home-improvement chain, a hardware store, or an appliance store,” says Giannettino. “All three of those types of retailers approach outdoor as a seasonal business and fully display products for only two to three months. I felt that we needed an experience that was solely focused, 365 days a year, on grills, smokers, pizza ovens, outdoor kitchens, and all of their ancillary products.”
Another exciting aspect of the new store is that they will be offering site surveys, kitchen renderings, grill-cleaning services, and the store’s Fellowship of Smoke memberships, for customers who are hardcore grill/smoke enthusiasts. Members are connected via email and have access to grilling and smoking classes throughout the year and special deals from Ring of Fire, as well as best practices for grilling and smoking.
Taking a cue from Amazon, Ring of Fire will offer either next-day or same-day delivery options on certain products.
