Rich and I have taken this training and found it to be quite valuable. Dario provides a rundown of the benefits of Radiant Heating, an overview of the various Bromic heaters, and resources available to dealers. I encourage dealers and salespeople who are currently selling Bromic, and those who should be, to attend any of these training sessions.

2020 Top Sellers

For your information and planning, here are the Top Ten Sellers, based on units sold, for our main categories of products. The percentages shown for the Top Five are compared to the total for those in the top ten, not overall.


A quick analysis shows:

  • FireBalls continue to increase in popularity (both Vented and Vent-free).
    • Next to CA, the biggest markets for FireBalls are TX, TN, AL, and NC, and growing northward.
  • The CS burner overtook the FX burner as our best-selling burner style, another testimony to the popularity of FireBalls.
  • That more expensive styles sell more than lesser expensive ones.
  • The converse is true with Solaire, where our portables are the top sellers, but that is expected, given the greater cost difference between a portable and a backyard grill compared to differing gas log styles. The 27XL continues to be the best-selling “big” grill, being the convergence of size and price.
  • Within Bromic, 2020 continued with Electric outselling Gas at about 2 to 1.
    • Tungsten Gas exceeded Platinum Gas for the first time.
    • Tungsten Portables surged to the most sold Bromic heater, and we could have sold twice again as many if we could have had more to sell.
