Dinner's over, dusk has passed, the moon
has started its arc in silence.
The family sits around the campfire. Stories are told. You've found the
perfect log to sit on. Now the job is to find that balance between being
chilled by the nighttime air & too hot from the fire. "It must
be midnight",
you think excitedly, but it's probably only 8:30. Someone brings up the
subject of dessert. What else needs to be said? Mom & dad pull out
the
Pie Irons and the ritual begins.
This memory could be from the mid-60s or last weekend. It's a tradition
shared
by generations of campers that we're pleased to uphold today with our
full line of
Pie Iron sandwich cookers which we've proudly produced since 1964.
Below are some details on the complete range of Rome pie irons organized by use and material.

The following designs are designed specifically for use on a BBQ grill, a gas stove top or two-burner campstove.. They feature the same quality cast iron molds, but have shorter handles for ease of use on a stove or BBQ where longer handles just get in the way of the cook and serve no real purpose.
These designs also have 16" screw off rods for easier cleanup. Normally for use on a campfire you would want the rods to be securely pinned to the cooker, but since these designs are for the BBQ, the rods do not have to deal with the same rigors.
