TYTUS Modular Grills — Build Your Backyard Kitchen Your Way

Most grills ask you to choose a size and live with it. TYTUS grills work differently. The TYTUS modular grill system lets you start with what you need today — a gas grill, a pellet smoker, a griddle, a pizza oven — and connect additional cooking stations as your backyard setup grows. Each unit links to the next without tools, without parts, and without the hours of assembly that most outdoor grill purchases require. The result is an outdoor cooking setup that looks like a custom-built outdoor kitchen but assembles in minutes and can be reconfigured whenever your needs change.

RC Willey carries TYTUS modular grills and the full TYTUS outdoor cooking lineup. Browse TYTUS at RC Willey and explore our full outdoor grill collection to find the setup that fits your backyard.

The TYTUS Story

TYTUS Grills was founded by Michael O'Shaughnessy — CEO of O'Shaughnessy Holding Company — with a clear mission: solve the two most frustrating problems in outdoor grill ownership. The first is assembly. Most grills arrive in boxes requiring 45 minutes or more of tool-intensive assembly before you can cook a single burger. TYTUS spent years researching, designing, and patenting a no-tool assembly system that gets a grill set up and ready to cook in under ten minutes — and in some configurations, under five. The second problem is flexibility. A standard grill is a fixed purchase — one cooking surface, one fuel type, one configuration for the lifetime of the product. TYTUS's modular design solves this by making the cooking setup expandable — add a pellet smoker this season, a pizza oven next season, a griddle when the mood strikes — without replacing the core grill.

The brand is built around outdoor cooking enthusiasts who want the look and functionality of a custom outdoor kitchen without the cost, complexity, and permanence that a built-in outdoor kitchen installation requires. TYTUS grills are designed to transform a deck or patio into the most-used space in the house — and the no-tool assembly system means the setup can be changed, moved, or expanded whenever the backyard situation changes.

Why Buy a TYTUS Grill

The no-tool assembly system is a genuine differentiator. TYTUS's patented assembly process requires no tools and no loose parts — units connect and secure in minutes rather than the hour-plus process most assembled grills require. For anyone who has spent a frustrating afternoon assembling a grill from a box full of hardware, the TYTUS system is a fundamentally different experience. Two people can have a full TYTUS modular cooking setup assembled and ready to use in under ten minutes.

The modular system grows with you. A TYTUS setup isn't a fixed purchase. Every TYTUS modular unit is designed to link directly to any other unit in the system — gas grill to pellet smoker, pellet smoker to pizza oven, pizza oven to griddle — creating a connected outdoor cooking station that covers every cooking method in a single cohesive setup. Add units over time as budget and appetite allow. Reconfigure the layout whenever the occasion calls for it.

304 stainless steel construction throughout. TYTUS grills use heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel grates — the same grade used in commercial kitchen equipment — for the cooking surface. 304 stainless steel is more corrosion-resistant than the 430 grade used in many competing grills, which matters for equipment that lives outdoors year-round in humidity, rain, and temperature swings. The double-walled hood construction on TYTUS gas grills improves heat retention compared to single-wall alternatives, delivering more consistent cooking temperatures across the full cooking surface.

Serious BTU output for serious cooking. TYTUS gas grills deliver a minimum of 48,000 BTUs of cooking power — output that puts them firmly in the serious home grilling category rather than the casual weekend-use segment. The Anaheim 4-burner gas grill reaches cooking temperatures across its 721 square inches of cooking area that handle everything from a quick weeknight sear to a low-and-slow indirect cook for a full crowd.

The look of a custom outdoor kitchen — without the custom kitchen cost. TYTUS grills are available in multiple finish options — stainless steel, black stainless steel, and configurations that incorporate wood accent and stone accent panels — that give the setup the visual character of a built-in outdoor kitchen. A TYTUS modular setup on a deck or patio reads as a designed, intentional outdoor cooking space rather than a standard freestanding grill pushed against the house.

An industry-leading warranty. TYTUS backs its grills with a 10-year parts and service warranty when the product is registered within 90 days of purchase — one of the strongest warranty commitments available in the outdoor grill category at any price point.

The TYTUS Modular System — How It Works

The TYTUS modular grill system is built around a core gas grill — the Anaheim 4-burner — that serves as the anchor of the cooking setup. Modular add-on units connect directly to the gas grill using TYTUS's patented no-tool connection system, creating a unified cooking station that shares a visual design language and structural footprint across every connected piece.

The Anaheim 4-Burner Gas Grill

The Anaheim is the foundation of the TYTUS modular system — a 4-burner propane gas grill with 721 square inches of cooking area on porcelain-enameled cast iron grates, 48,000 BTUs of total cooking power, and a double-walled hood that retains heat more effectively than standard single-wall hood designs. The Anaheim includes a removable cutting board, built-in bottle opener, and the patented no-tool connection points on both sides that accept any TYTUS modular add-on unit. It's available in multiple finish options — stainless steel, black stainless, and combinations with wood and stone accent panels — and works as a standalone grill or as the core of a larger modular cooking setup.

The Emberwood Pellet Smoker

The Emberwood Pellet Smoker is the most popular TYTUS modular add-on — connecting directly to the side of the Anaheim gas grill to add wood-fired smoking capability without a separate standalone smoker taking up additional space on the patio. The Emberwood uses porcelain-enameled steel grates, an 8-pound pellet hopper, and a digital temperature controller for consistent low-and-slow smoking results. Paired with the Anaheim gas grill, the Emberwood Pellet Smoker gives the full TYTUS setup the ability to sear, grill, smoke, and hold — covering every primary outdoor cooking technique from a single connected unit.

The Emberwood Pizza Oven

The Emberwood Pizza Oven connects to the TYTUS modular system to add high-temperature pizza cooking capability — reaching 600°F in approximately ten minutes and hitting a maximum temperature of 900°F for Neapolitan-style pizzas and high-heat flatbreads. The pizza oven adds a cooking dimension that neither a gas grill nor a pellet smoker can replicate, and its connection to the TYTUS system keeps the outdoor kitchen footprint consolidated rather than requiring a separate standalone unit.

The Gas Griddle

The TYTUS gas griddle add-on connects to the modular system to provide a flat cooking surface for smash burgers, breakfast foods, stir-fry, and any cooking application where a grill grate isn't the right tool. The flat griddle surface retains heat evenly across the full cooking area and handles foods that fall through traditional grates — eggs, pancakes, diced vegetables, and smaller items that a standard grill burner arrangement makes difficult.

The Charcoal Grill Add-On

The charcoal grill add-on brings live-fire charcoal cooking into the TYTUS modular system — for households that want charcoal flavor without giving up the convenience of the gas grill as the primary cooking surface. The charcoal unit connects to the Anaheim using the same no-tool system as every other modular add-on, making it easy to add, remove, or reposition within the overall setup.

The Fresno Island Grill Series

Beyond the modular system, TYTUS offers the Fresno Series — a 5-burner propane island grill available in multiple finish configurations including stainless steel with shadow stone, gunmetal gray with ash stacked stone, and stainless steel with carbon wood. The Fresno is a freestanding island grill designed to serve as a permanent outdoor cooking centerpiece — larger than the Anaheim-based modular system and suited for households with a dedicated outdoor entertaining space where a full-size island grill fits the scale of the setup.

TYTUS vs. The Competition

TYTUS is most frequently cross-shopped against Weber, Traeger, and Blackstone in the outdoor cooking segment. Here's how the brands compare across the factors that matter most to outdoor cooking shoppers.

TYTUS's clearest advantages are the modular system — no other mainstream grill brand offers a linkable, no-tool cooking station system — the design versatility of the finish options, and the 10-year warranty that exceeds most competing brands at comparable price points. Weber leads on brand recognition and the depth of its gas and charcoal grill lineup. Traeger owns the pellet smoking category for shoppers whose primary outdoor cooking goal is low-and-slow barbecue. Blackstone leads for flat-top griddle-focused cooks. For shoppers who want one connected outdoor cooking setup that handles every method — grilling, smoking, griddle cooking, and pizza — TYTUS is the only brand in the mainstream market with a system designed to do all of it from a single platform.

Grilling Season and Beyond — When to Buy a TYTUS Grill

There's never a bad time to upgrade your outdoor cooking setup — but a few moments in the year make the decision feel especially right.

Spring and early summer are the peak buying season for outdoor grills for good reason. Warmer weather, longer evenings, and the return of backyard entertaining all arrive at the same time — and having a TYTUS modular setup ready before Memorial Day weekend means the most-used outdoor cooking months of the year start with the right equipment already in place. Spring is also when RC Willey's outdoor grill selection is at its fullest, with the complete TYTUS lineup available and delivery scheduling at its most flexible before the summer rush.

Father's Day is consistently one of the strongest single-purchase moments for outdoor grills — and a TYTUS modular setup is the kind of gift that delivers every weekend for years rather than once. The Anaheim gas grill makes a strong standalone Father's Day gift, with the Emberwood Pellet Smoker or pizza oven as natural follow-on additions for birthdays and holidays that follow.

Memorial Day and Labor Day are the two most reliably discounted outdoor grill purchase windows of the year. RC Willey typically runs appliance and outdoor cooking promotions across both holiday weekends — checking our outdoor grill collection before either weekend is worth doing if a TYTUS purchase is already on your radar.

Late summer and fall are an underrated buying window. End-of-season inventory moves quickly at this time of year, which can mean stronger value on outgoing configurations. And a TYTUS modular setup with a pellet smoker isn't a seasonal purchase — it's a year-round cooking platform. Low-and-slow smoked brisket and pork shoulder taste just as good in October as they do in July.

Holiday gifting season — November through December — brings another strong purchase window for households upgrading their outdoor cooking setup ahead of the new year or purchasing for a serious backyard chef on the gift list. TYTUS's modular system is particularly well-suited to gifting because it scales — start with one unit this holiday season and add another for a birthday in the spring.

Things Worth Knowing Before You Buy TYTUS

Is the no-tool assembly as easy as it sounds? Yes — and this is one of the areas where TYTUS consistently earns praise from owners. The patented connection system genuinely requires no tools and no loose hardware. Units click and secure into position. Most owners report getting the full setup assembled well within the advertised ten-minute window, and several note it as the primary reason they chose TYTUS over competing brands that require extended assembly sessions.

Can I add modular units after my initial purchase? Yes — and this is the core design intent of the TYTUS system. Every TYTUS modular unit is designed to connect to any other unit in the system at any time. Buying the Anaheim gas grill first and adding the Emberwood Pellet Smoker later is exactly how TYTUS intends the system to be used. There's no compatibility concern between units regardless of when they were purchased.

What fuel does the Anaheim gas grill use? The Anaheim runs on propane — a standard 20-pound propane tank connects to the grill via the included hose and regulator. Natural gas conversion is not standard across the TYTUS lineup — confirm fuel type compatibility at the time of purchase if natural gas is the preferred fuel source for your outdoor kitchen setup.

Is TYTUS built for year-round outdoor use? Yes. The 304 stainless steel construction, double-walled hood design, and the quality of the cover accessories are all chosen for durability in outdoor conditions across seasons. Using the TYTUS grill cover — available separately — during periods of non-use protects the finish and internal components from rain, UV exposure, and temperature swings that accelerate wear on outdoor cooking equipment.

How does the TYTUS warranty work? TYTUS offers a 5-year limited warranty against manufacturer defects at purchase, which extends to a 10-year limited warranty when the product is registered within 90 days of purchase. Labor is not included in the warranty coverage. Registering your TYTUS grill immediately after purchase is the most important step to securing the full warranty term — and RC Willey's team can walk you through the process at the time of sale.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a TYTUS modular grill? A TYTUS modular grill is an outdoor cooking system built around the Anaheim 4-burner gas grill that connects to interchangeable add-on units — including a pellet smoker, pizza oven, gas griddle, and charcoal grill — using a patented no-tool assembly system. The result is a connected outdoor cooking station that covers every major cooking method from a single expandable platform.
• Where are TYTUS grills made? TYTUS Grills is an American company founded and operated by O'Shaughnessy Holding Company. Specific manufacturing location details are available directly from TYTUS — confirm with RC Willey at the time of purchase for the most current production information.
• What is the TYTUS warranty? TYTUS offers a 5-year limited warranty against manufacturer defects at the time of purchase, extending to a 10-year limited warranty when the grill is registered within 90 days of purchase. Labor is not included. Registering your product promptly after purchase is essential to securing the full 10-year coverage.
• Can you convert a TYTUS grill to natural gas? The Anaheim gas grill runs on propane as standard. Natural gas conversion availability varies by model — confirm with RC Willey at the time of purchase whether a natural gas conversion kit is available for the specific TYTUS configuration you're considering.
• How big is the TYTUS Anaheim cooking surface? The Anaheim 4-burner gas grill offers 721 square inches of primary cooking area on porcelain-enameled cast iron grates — sufficient for cooking for a crowd of eight to twelve people in a single session. When connected modular units are added, the total cooking surface expands significantly depending on the configuration.
• Does TYTUS make a standalone grill? Yes — in addition to the modular system, TYTUS offers the Fresno Series — a 5-burner propane island grill available in multiple finish configurations including stainless steel with stone accents and carbon wood panels. The Fresno is designed as a permanent outdoor cooking centerpiece rather than a modular expandable system.
• Is TYTUS a good grill brand? Yes — TYTUS earns consistently strong owner reviews for build quality, the no-tool assembly system, and cooking performance. The 304 stainless steel grate construction, 48,000 BTU minimum output, double-walled hood design, and 10-year warranty with registration are all specifications that compare favorably with competing brands at similar and higher price points. For shoppers specifically looking for a modular outdoor cooking system, TYTUS is the most purpose-built option in the mainstream market.
• What is the difference between TYTUS and Weber? Weber is a traditional grill brand with a wide range of standalone gas and charcoal grills — no modular system, standard tool-based assembly, and a 10-year warranty on gas models. TYTUS is built specifically around the modular system concept — linkable cooking stations, no-tool assembly in under ten minutes, and a design aesthetic that reads as a custom outdoor kitchen rather than a standard freestanding grill. Weber leads on brand recognition and the depth of its standalone grill lineup. TYTUS leads on flexibility, assembly ease, and design versatility for shoppers building an outdoor kitchen setup.
• Can you use a TYTUS grill on a deck or patio? Yes — TYTUS grills are designed for deck and patio use. Standard fire safety guidelines apply — maintain adequate clearance from combustible structures including overhangs, fences, and exterior walls, and never use a gas grill indoors or in an enclosed space. TYTUS's freestanding and modular configurations are designed to be positioned and repositioned as the outdoor space layout requires.
• What pellets work with the TYTUS Emberwood smoker? The Emberwood Pellet Smoker is compatible with standard food-grade wood pellets available from most outdoor cooking retailers. Popular wood varieties — hickory, apple, cherry, mesquite, and competition blends — all work with the Emberwood's 8-pound hopper. Using high-quality pellets with low moisture content produces the best smoking results and reduces the risk of hopper bridging that lower-quality pellets can cause.
