About Current
Current® is an electric outdoor cooking brand backed by W.C. Bradley Co., founded in 2023. Every product in the lineup runs entirely on electricity — no propane tanks, no charcoal, no open flames. The company targets apartment dwellers, rooftop cooks, and anyone in wildfire-restricted zones who wants a genuine outdoor cooking experience without a gas line.
The brand already has one grill generation and a smart pizza oven in the market. The G2 and P+ are direct successor models, both designed around the same plug-and-play premise: standard outlet, covered patio or balcony, no permits required.
Model G2 Electric Grill
The Model G2 is Current's second-generation flagship grill. It features a 422-square-inch dual-zone cooking surface — enough for a full rack of ribs alongside a row of vegetables at a different temperature. The Gen2 intelligent heating system is engineered for more even heat distribution across both zones compared to the original Model G.
Maximum temperature is 700°F, which is sufficient for a genuine sear on steaks and burgers. A notable upgrade over the previous model is QuickRelease heating elements: they detach in seconds, making it far easier to scrub the cooking surface without fighting the hardware.
App connectivity lets cooks monitor temperature remotely, receive alerts when the target temp is reached, and download firmware updates. The grill ships in three finishes — Eclipse, Slate, and Ocean — and uses commercial-grade stainless steel throughout, rated for year-round covered outdoor use.
Model P+ Electric Pizza Oven
The Model P+ Electric Pizza Oven reaches 850°F — the threshold needed for Neapolitan-style pizza with a properly charred, crisp crust. It uses a cordierite stone insert for stable, even heat retention and comes preloaded with eight cooking modes. An app-based Pizza Build Calculator™ lets users dial in cook parameters based on crust type, pizza size, and toppings.
Current also positions the P+ as a high-heat multipurpose oven: it can sear, broil, and bake at temperatures no standard kitchen oven can reach. Available in Sand, Slate, and Ocean finishes, it connects to a standard household outlet like the rest of the lineup.

Why This Matters
A large share of US renters and condo owners are prohibited from using gas or charcoal grills on their balconies and rooftops — by building rules, local fire codes, or wildfire ordinances that have expanded significantly across western states in recent years. Electric grills have historically failed to fill that gap: older models produced weak heat and poor sear results that made them a compromise, not a solution.
Current's Gen2 platform pushes back against that reputation directly. A 700°F ceiling and dual-zone precision control bring the cooking performance meaningfully closer to what a mid-range gas grill delivers. For home cooks who have written off balcony grilling entirely, this is a more credible option than what the category offered three years ago.
The P+ pizza oven addresses an equally specific gap. Popular home pizza ovens like the Ooni Koda run on propane or wood — both prohibited in many apartment buildings. An electric option that genuinely hits 850°F is the first viable high-heat pizza solution for that audience.
Neither product is cheap. At $1,199 for the grill and $699 for the oven, these are considered purchases. But for cooks who've been locked out of outdoor cooking entirely, the premium reflects real capability, not just branding.
Conclusion
Current's G2 and P+ give apartment-dwellers and fire-restricted home cooks new high-heat tools for summer outdoor cooking. Both are electric, app-connected, and built around serious temperature performance rather than convenience compromises. The G2 is available now; the P+ follows in mid-June 2026.
