Rome Industries Kitchen Accessories: Campfire Cooking Rooted in Tradition
When it comes to open-fire kitchen accessories, few names carry the legacy of Rome Industries. Founded in 1964, Rome is a three-generation family business that has spent over six decades perfecting the tools that turn a campfire or backyard fire pit into a fully functional outdoor kitchen. Their kitchen accessories aren't mass-produced novelties — they're purpose-built, American-made instruments designed for real cooking over real flames.
The Original Pie Iron — A Category Rome Created
Rome Industries didn't just enter the pie iron market — they created it. The brand's cast iron pie irons are hinged, long-handled tools engineered to cook toasted sandwiches, filled pies, and savory snacks directly over an open fire. Available in square and round cavity designs, as well as a double-capacity version, each pie iron features heavy-duty cast iron cooking cavities, steel rods, and classic wooden handles that keep hands safely away from the heat. Rome's pie irons ship with seasoning instructions and recipes, and are backed by a 10-year warranty — a testament to the durability of their cast iron construction.
Beyond Pie Irons: A Full Range of Open-Fire Kitchen Tools
Rome's kitchen accessories line extends well beyond the iconic pie iron. Their Camp Bread Baker and Sausage Roaster brings the same hinged cast iron design to cornbread sticks and grilled sausages, while the Family Campfire Skillet — a 6-inch cast iron pan on a 39-inch angled wood-and-steel handle — is designed to let younger cooks safely participate in the campfire experience. Rome also produces traditional cast iron waffle irons for open-fire use, along with pie iron accessories including a dedicated cast iron seasoning oil and a wood scraper built specifically for cast iron cookware care.
For roasting enthusiasts, Rome offers what they claim is the largest selection of marshmallow and hot dog roasting forks in North America — from single-prong forks to multi-position 4-up hot dog roasting baskets, covering everything from solo campfire snacks to group cookouts.
Why Rome Kitchen Accessories Stand Out
- Made in the USA: Cast iron pie irons and campfire cooking accessories are manufactured domestically, maintaining a tradition of American craftsmanship since 1964.
- Family-owned legacy: As a three-generation family business, Rome brings a continuity of design philosophy and quality control that larger manufacturers rarely match.
- Versatility: Rome's tools are engineered for campfires, fire pits, barbecue grills, camping stoves, and chimineas — so they move seamlessly between outdoor settings.
- 10-Year Warranty: Backed by a decade-long warranty, Rome's cast iron kitchen accessories are built to last for generations.
- Recipe support: Many Rome products include recipe books — such as the spiral-bound Pudgie Revolution cookbook — making them accessible to first-time open-fire cooks.
Whether you're outfitting a campsite kitchen or upgrading your backyard fire pit setup, Rome Industries kitchen accessories deliver the tools, durability, and culinary creativity that have made them an American outdoor cooking institution for over 60 years.
