About HearthStone Outdoor
Vermont soapstone,
built for the patio
HearthStone has been making soapstone stoves in Vermont for decades; HearthStone Outdoor is the part of the company that took the same materials outside. Griddles in enameled cast iron or stainless, Genio pizza ovens that run on wood or gas over a thick soapstone floor, and fire pits cast with a cooking ring that turns them into a grill. It’s the line we recommend when an outdoor kitchen needs more than a grill. More on planning the whole kitchen: Outdoor Kitchens.
Where HearthStone Outdoor fits
What HearthStone Outdoor makes
Flat-top gas griddles in 22, 32, and 40 inches, with an enameled cast-iron or stainless cooking surface. Build them in, set them on a counter, or roll them out on a base.
Wood-fired or multi-fuel, with a thick soapstone floor that holds an even temperature. Gas models are ready to cook in minutes.
The Cosmo, Meteor, and Zenith. The LoSmoke design feeds air in from below the grate, so the fire burns hot and the smoke stays where it should.
The Meteor and Zenith take a cast-iron cooking ring on top — grill or griddle plates, plus soapstone accessories, so the fire pit cooks dinner too.
Brabura
Gas griddles — the flat top that gets used every week
A flat top does the cooking a grate can’t: breakfast for a houseful, smash burgers, onions and peppers that would fall through the grate. Brabura makes them in three widths with an enameled cast-iron or stainless surface, and in three forms — built into an island, set on a counter, or rolled out on a base.
- Three sizes, so the decision is counter space rather than ambition.
- Enameled cast iron holds heat; stainless heats faster and cleans easier. Both are right, for different cooks.
- Built-in versions need a cut-out — that goes on the island plan with everything else.

Pizza ovens with a soapstone floor
Soapstone holds an even temperature instead of spiking and dropping, which is the whole difference between a pizza oven that works on the fourth pizza and one that doesn’t. Genio makes wood-fired and multi-fuel versions; the gas models are ready to cook in minutes rather than an hour, which decides how often it actually gets used.
- Wood-fired for the evening you planned; gas for the one you didn’t.
- A thick soapstone floor is the part that matters — everything else is a box around it.
- Counter-top and built-in versions, so it can join an island or stand alone.
Thinking about a pizza oven? Tell us wood or gas and where it would sit; we’ll tell you what it needs underneath.

Fire pits that also cook
Cast iron rather than rolled steel, which is why these outlive the patio furniture. The LoSmoke design feeds air in from below the grate, so the fire burns hot and the smoke goes up rather than into the conversation. The Meteor and Zenith take a cast-iron cooking ring on top — grill or griddle plates, plus soapstone accessories.
- No gas line, no chimney, no structure — the lowest-commitment fire on this site.
- The Cosmo, Meteor and Zenith differ in size and in whether they are meant to cook.
- A cooking ring turns it into dinner; without one it stays a fire pit.

Good to know
HearthStone Outdoor questions we hear every week
Griddle or grill — which do I want?
A grill chars over grates; a flat-top griddle sears the whole surface, which is what you want for burgers, fish, vegetables, fried rice, and brunch. Most outdoor kitchens we spec end up with both.
Wood-fired or gas pizza oven?
Gas is ready in minutes and holds temperature with a knob. Wood takes longer and rewards you for it. The Genio multi-fuel ovens run on either, and the propane conversion kit is included.
Can these be built into a masonry island?
Yes — griddles and ovens are made for it. Send us the plans and we’ll get the cut-out dimensions to your builder before the countertop is ordered.
Will cast iron survive a Maryland winter?
Yes, with a cover and the usual care for cast iron. These are made in Vermont for that climate.
Do you build the outdoor kitchen?
No. We supply the equipment and plan what goes where; the masonry, countertops, and utility runs stay with your builder or landscaper, and we coordinate with them.
