Our story
From one beach BBQ to outdoor cooks all over the world.
It started the way a lot of good ideas do: at a BBQ with mates. The food was great; lugging the grill there wasn’t. Why wasn’t there a BBQ that was properly compact, easy to take anywhere and actually enjoyable to use?
It didn’t take long before the first concept was on the table. Months of designing, testing and tweaking later, nomadiQ was born: a portable BBQ we’re still proud of every single day.
Here’s how we got here, who’s behind it, and where we’re heading.
Our mission
Cook outside, wherever the day takes you.
Our mission is simple: make it easy to grill and cook anywhere, your way.
Whether you’re doing the lap of Australia in a caravan or catching up with mates at the local park after work, nomadiQ means a proper cook-up wherever you end up.
What we stand for
It all comes back to three things.
01
Freedom
No fixed spot, no fuss. The balcony, the park, the boat, a campsite down south or a beach up north: you pick the place. We make sure you’ve got everything you need to cook properly when you get there.
02
Easy
Good gear should make life easier. Our BBQs and stoves are simple to use, easy to carry and ready to cook in minutes. Less time setting up, more time enjoying it.
03
Connection
The best feeds are the shared ones. nomadiQ isn’t the main event; it’s what gets everyone around the table. Just expect the odd “Hey, what’s that?” from the campsite next door.
