One fire. More possibilities.
Inspired by live-fire traditions from around the world, the Crimson gives cooks room to explore different techniques from one manageable fire. Its Convect Effect™ system, adjustable draft, and multiple temperature readings help you work across the cooking chamber.
Explore American barbecue, Argentine-style grilling, Japanese yakitori, Mediterranean skewers, and wood-fired baking with compatible accessories.
Built around

Manage draft and exhaust with the dual-damper chimney and anti-wind damper. Explore smoking, grilling, roasting, and more with a system built around real wood fire.
Explore more from one fire.
The Crimson’s internal Convect Effect™ system supports cooking across multiple heat zones. Smoke, sear, grill, or bake with compatible accessories, moving between techniques as your menu and service change.
