Forge 15
The HitchFire Forge 15 Grill is the ultimate companion for outdoor cooking, combining rugged adventure-ready design with family-focused convenience.

What Reviewers Are Saying
Men’s Journal writes, “I’ve used the Forge 15 off and on for a few years, and I’m always pleased with the convenience of having a powerful grill wherever my adventures take me”. Outdoor Magazine and Gear Junkie have echoed praise for its quick setup, dual burners, and the swing-arm design that lets you fire up burgers in front of the game or at a remote trailhead. Car and Driver commends its space-saving hitch mount and rugged build, noting, “The Forge 15 makes vehicle-based cooking easier and cleaner without sacrificing grilling power”.

No mess, it swings out so you don't feel squished next to your car… Huge fan!”

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
Do your products work with all van models?
Yes! Most of our parts specify compatibility with Mercedes Sprinter, Ram ProMaster, and Ford Transit platforms. Check each product page for exact fitment. Still unsure? Shoot us a message — we’re happy to confirm before you buy.
How long does shipping take?
Orders usually ship within 2–3 business days. Transit time depends on your location, but most U.S. customers receive their order within 5–7 days. You’ll get tracking info as soon as it ships.
Some items may ship separately depending on vendor, inventory, or warehouse location — so you might receive multiple packages for a single order. You’ll get tracking numbers for each one.
Do you offer returns or exchanges?
Yes — we accept returns within 30 days of delivery for unused, uninstalled products in original packaging. Just contact us and we’ll help get the process started.
Please note: Some products ship directly from our vendor partners, and in those cases, the final decision on return eligibility is made by the vendor. We’ll always advocate for you, but policies may vary slightly by brand.
Can I pick up my order locally?
At this time, all orders ship from our warehouse — we don’t offer local pickup. If you’re working with our van build team, parts can be coordinated into your build directly.
Do you offer bulk discounts or fleet pricing?
Yes! We work with upfitters, outfitters, and van builders nationwide. Reach out to us with what you need and we’ll get you a custom quote.
