Gourmet grilling Designed and produced in Denmark, a JensenGrill grill is stylish, functional and highly versatile. Making it possible to shift between, or combine, charcoal and gas, the grill takes barbequing to another level, opening up new possibilities for everyone from gourmet chefs to grill novices.

A keen huntsman and long-term foodie, Mads Hartvig Jensen, the founder of JensenGrill, became a dedicated grill enthusiast after a stay in Australia. “In Australia they barbeque all the time so, when I got back, I went and got both a charcoal grill and a gas grill. But eventually, as I had kids and my everyday life got busier, I was using the gas grill more and more but it always irritated me because it just wasn’t the same as with the charcoal,” explains Jensen. Not one to sit around and sulk about the problem, Jensen hoisted the gas grill into his car, brought it to his parents’ farm, took it apart and rebuilt it as a combination grill. Thus, the first JensenGrill was created. In 2010, he officially founded JensenGrill, producing the first combined gas and charcoal grill on the market.
All JensenGrill barbecues are still developed and designed by Jensen and are produced and manually assembled in Denmark, which has resulted in a sleek Scandinavian design as well as exceptional functionality and flexibility. “The first thing people say when they see one of our grills is ‘wow, this is really thought through!’ The next thing they mention is the design; to be honest I don’t think there are a lot of nice grills on the market and that is probably why people always compliment us. They just love the Scandinavian design, because why get a big, clunky grill for a Scandinavian house and garden?” The many qualities of JensenGrill’s products appeal to a wide range of customers: those who always want the
best, the design enthusiasts and, of course, the barbecue fanatics. Lately, the newest versions of the grill have also gathered a following among a number of high-end chefs and kitchens – including Meyers Køkken – who enjoy the fact that, as the charcoal is lit with the gas, the grill can be prepared and ready significantly quicker than other grills. JensenGrill is currently sold in Scandinavia and Germany but, next year, the Scandinavian super grill will be making its way further into Europe, the UK and eventually also the US and Australia.
