Pie Irons  
 
  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.

 So What Exactly Is A Pie Iron?   In its most basic function, a pie iron is a way to cook grilled sandwiches and fruit pies over a campfire. Read the full story here.

Our Complete Range Of Cast Iron & Aluminum Pie Irons Are Detailed Below.  The classic Rome Pie Irons are the heavy duty cast iron #1705 Square & #1605 Double.  That's just the start!! We make 14 different styles
