Sea Island Forge

Sea Island Forge, a venture fueled by passion, ingenuity, and a love for outdoor cooking, was founded by the dynamic duo Steve and Sandy Schoettle. Renowned for his expert metalwork and artistic flair, Steve is a familiar name in custom metal craftsmanship, while Sandy’s background in photography and art infuses the brand with a keen eye for design. Their shared affection for coastal living is the driving force behind Sea Island Forge, permeating their dedication to community and connection.

At the core of Sea Island Forge’s offerings is the 30-gallon kettle, a revolutionary piece that transcends the boundaries of outdoor cooking. Modeled after a nineteenth-century sugar kettle, it is meticulously fashioned from cast ductile iron, ensuring longevity for generations. Beyond robust materials, the kettle’s standout feature lies in its thoughtful design.
