A cooking stage for your team’s ideas.

Cardinal’s adjustable draft and cooking grates give your team ways to work with the fire as preparations move toward service.

Good to know.
Should we choose offset or internal-fire cooking?
It depends on the dishes and methods you want to run. Vermilion provides a side firebox as well as internal-fire options; Crimson focuses on cooking with the fire inside the chamber.
Can we change the menu over time?
The cooking platform supports several techniques, and compatible accessories can expand your options. Confirm accessory compatibility with the selected model.
