Specs Tell Part of the Story

Product specs tell you part of the story. The Outdoor Burn shows you the rest. Watch exhibitors operate their appliances throughout the day, compare how different fuels perform side by side, and taste what comes off the grill. Then grab a drink in the Biergarten and talk shop before heading back inside.

What to Expect

Live-action appliances

Appliances at the Outdoor Burn are not just on display. They are lit and running. Exhibitors demonstrate their products in action so you can see ignition, heat output, and performance for yourself and ask questions on the spot.

Various fuels, burning in real time

Propane, charcoal, pellets, and wood are all burning at the Outdoor Burn. See real-time results from each fuel type and compare flame and heat in one place: the kind of firsthand look that helps you talk confidently with customers back home.

Samples from the grill

Grill demonstrations mean food. Exhibitors hand out samples from their demos, so you can taste the results along with seeing them.

Biergarten

Grab a drink and take a seat or peruse the outdoor booths. The Biergarten is a natural place to catch up with colleagues, meet new contacts, and take a break from the show floor.

Attendees can move freely between the third-floor indoor show floor and the street-level Outdoor Burn with ease throughout the day. HPBExpo badges are required for both exhibit areas.
