Brio Kitchen Box Benefits & Features

Organized Compartments for All of Your Gear

No more rummaging through bins for a lighter or coffee maker. The Brio Kitchen Box can adapt to whatever the shapes and sizes of your gear. With a customizable interior, you can adjust shelving to suit your needs. Keep equipment neatly organized and accessible with a flat shelf, utensil tray, and a large drawer that comes standard with every Brio Kitchen Box.

Easy To Set Up

With the press of a button, the Brio Kitchen Box legs will drop to the ground. A little shimmy will lock them into place at a sturdy 105-degree angle for stability. Adjust the orbital feet to establish level ground then expand those wings to increase your cooking surface, and you’re ready to go!

Pack in, Pack out Seamlessly

Equipment often leaves your car and campsite messy and disorganized. The Brio Kitchen Box folds in and collapses to easily wipe down, fit in the trunk and take home, saving you time and hassle.

Stack and Connect Brio Kitchen Boxes

Brio Kitchen Boxes are modular so you can combine them in a variety of ways to gain space and customize your setup with family and friends or big groups. Stack Brio Kitchen Boxes on top of each other or connect them side-by-side to create larger kitchen spaces.

Extremely Durable Like Camping Gear Should Be

Built with sturdy and lightweight material to withstand the elements and high cooking temperatures, the Brio Kitchen Box is your reliable outdoor cooking companion for generations to come.

Outdoor Cooking Can Be Messy, Disorganized, and Chaotic!

We get outside to enjoy ourselves! The hassles of preparing for the trip, setting up the campsite, and disorganized cooking take away from the time spent making great memories. Do any of these thoughts cross your mind:

  • There is so much to pack! Did I remember everything?
  • It takes forever to set up…
  • Is that ground even enough for a table?
  • Where is that darn spatula!?
  • Who took the paper towel?
  • Where can I chop this onion?
  • There is so much stuff on the table. Where are we going to eat?
  • Gah… I don’t want to pack up and go home.

The Brio Kitchen Box Helps You Create Great Outdoor Memories

Stop wasting time messing around with your setup, rummaging through bins for a knife, or searching for a flat surface to chop on. Set up in a jiffy, keep equipment neatly organized and accessible, and gain peace of mind with the Brio Kitchen Box.

What sets the Brio Kitchen Box apart?

Innovative design and unparalleled quality. When we began to think about a better way to set up faster, stay organized, and create an optimized cooking space, we searched high and low for a durable solution but didn’t find anything that hit the mark like Evan’s Dad’s old hand-built system. There are great cooking set-up solutions out there. For example, camp kitchen tables, but these take time to set up and don’t include storage. Chuck boxes solve the storage problem but usually need to sit on a tailgate or picnic table and don’t offer enough cooking space.

We’ve engineered an all-in-one solution that allows you to store, transport, and instantly set up a complete outdoor cooking station. Unique features such as stackability, foldable wings, and extendable legs are in the process of patenting, highlighting the innovative nature of the Brio Kitchen Box.

The ability to stack and combine Brio Kitchen Boxes to expand your setup and store more gear is worth mentioning further. Continuously expanding your setup to meet the needs of a changing group size is highly unique. You can effectively build a kitchen the size of your kitchen at home if you want to. This allows unlimited counter space and storage in rugged and wild environments where cooking gets tricky.

When it comes to quality, organization, convenience, optimization, and the ability to spend more time enjoying nature, the Brio Kitchen Box stands apart… on its own four legs.

Inspired By Childhood Camping Memories

When cofounder Evan Sidwell was a kid, his family of five would head out for a camping adventure every summer weekend they could. With all that camping they did, Evan’s Dad became acutely aware of and frustrated by the hassles of packing and unpacking, disorganized bins, and lack of cooking space. He built custom camping boxes to stay organized and spend more time enjoying nature with his family.

25 years later, adventure buddies Evan, Colin, and Louis still had the same problems today. This is what inspired us to create the ultimate outdoor cooking companion. Just like Evan’s Dad wanted to spend more creating family memories, we want to help you do the same.

The Prototyping and Design Journey

The Brio development process began with our first prototype designed in 2023. It was made from medium-density fibreboard (similar to particle board). We originally thought a 16” cube was the way to go and took it out in the field. We hosted an outdoor brunch inviting friends and family to share their thoughts, and even set up outside the BC Outdoor Show inviting exhibition attendees to stop and share their feedback. While it was clear we were onto something special, we realized the space limitations and the desire to fit a two-burner stove inside… Back to the drawing board.

We are lucky to have Louis Dombowsky as a cofounder… He is an experienced carpenter and industrial designer who spent five years working in a Research & Development Manufacturing Plant focused on panelized building innovation. He knows 3D modelling, materials, and structural integrity like the back of his hand… Louis went to work on a new expanded and enhanced Brio model that a manufacturer could produce.

Through a search of over 100 manufacturing partners, we chose one with aligned values and a desire to collaborate on a long-term partnership. This manufacturer’s engineering team helped us refine the model and develop the second Brio prototype which you see in most of our videos and pictures. We are refining the Brio Kitchen Box even further to finalize the product and ensure it is ready for mass production… Introducing the Brio Kitchen Box 2.0

Design Update – The Brio Kitchen Box 2.0

We have already begun refining the Brio Kitchen Box and want to share the latest designs with you. After much feedback from early users, we settled on a few updates that will bring more value to you. The latest improvements include more customization in shelving, more robust hardware and materials in locations of greater material stress, and a reduction in wasted space. We have also added spring pins for quick setup, the top hatch for easy access, and an add-on clipping system for attachments.
