I have recently been given responsibility of selling BBQ grills in Brazil. I am looking for what companies sell the most grills? Wh might be a good distributor for grills in Brazil?

Look forward to hearing back, thanks

"Coal or gás?" mild morning humor is good set for my day.
thank you.

2nd edit: Bruce - If you are indeed real - an American seeking to find distribution for BBQ grills in Brasil - this question will sound odd to many here. The BBQ is very popular in Brasil, and its tradition modal is ubiquitously already set in stone, i.e., the market is simply and totally already saturated with many "BBQ grills."
Unless your grill offers wildly innovative new features at super low prices and you can support a huge marketing campaign, the chances for success are very low...IMO.

Why? You don't tink there is a market for gas burning bbq's in Brazil?

I sure hope this wasnt a promotion.

there are sites like this all over the place. they are available at home centers. it is a growing business for sure but unless you're bringing webers here i think you've missed the boat.
do a search, perhaps?

In fact we are one of the fasting growing grills companies in the world! our products are very innovative and lower cost. We sell in many countries around the world as well as six countries in South America.

We are committed to excellence and to marketing in Brazil.

Weber is actual not the primary competitor as our price point is lower and we are actually more focused on charcoal.

thank you all for your help.

Gas grills available at home centers? Never seen them here in Rio. Brick bbq's are still the most common. A huge percentage of potential customers of such bbq's live in apartments with a BBQ area and in apartments that would not allow bbq's on balconies.

Using a smoker however is a little uncommon.

Different areas in Brazil have different BBQ cultures. You should check into that first.
