Current Backyard burst onto the scene a little over a year ago as the first electric outdoor cooking brand. Their products are differentiated by their industry leading performance and smart tech to make cooking easier.
Food Network star chef, and all around food genius, Alton Brown, has joined Current Backyard as a brand ambassador. He’s endorsed their outdoor cooking products for their authentic taste and for their temperature precision.
Current Backyard represents the future of outdoor cooking. Whether we’re talking about pro-level chefs looking for consistent high heat and precision control, or beginners who want a smartphone app that guides them at every step, the backyard has entered a new culinary era. And the days of running frantically to the store for charcoal or a propane tank are over.

If you’re reading this article, I’d be pretty shocked if you don’t know who Alton Brown is. If somehow he’s slipped by you, go binge watch Good Eats, and thank me later.
Given Alton Brown’s vast knowledge of food science, it’s a big endorsement for the Current Backyard brand. As a brand ambassador, he’s going to be advising the brand and creating custom recipes to drive guided cooks on the Current Backyard smartphone app.
Throughout his career, Alton Brown has been a culinary mind that hones the cutting edge for American cooking. His endorsement is a clear validation of our mission at Current Backyard – to use electricity to reimagine the way people experience outdoor cooking.

Current Backyard first released the Model G grill, which has two zone cooking and temperatures up to 700 degrees F. We tested it and turned out a bunch of steaks with perfect grill marks, and also played around with smoking ribs. It offers the same flavor as a gas grill and the infrared cooking meant we had no trouble using it in a Michigan winter.
Current is making outdoor cooking smarter, safer and more sustainable. It’s not just the precision and control that any chef would love – with electric cooking, you also don’t have to worry about an open flame and it’s six times more energy efficient than traditional gas grills.

At the end of the month, Current Backyard is adding a smart indoor/outdoor electric pizza oven to their line-up. It has some really impressive features, and it’s at a great price point for its performance.
