Vermilion · Generational Series · Designed and built in Canada

An offset when you want it.

Move between the side firebox and the internal Convect Effect™ cooking system as your menu changes. Built for restaurants, caterers, and cooks who want room to explore, the Vermilion puts multiple techniques within reach of one cooking stage.

Use the side firebox for traditional low-and-slow smoking, then explore internal live-fire cooking for grilling, roasting, and baking.

THE DETAILS

Built around
the way you cook.

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.

Two ways to tend the fire.

Run the side firebox for traditional offset smoking, or work with the fire inside the main chamber. The Convect Effect™ system and adjustable draft give you options for slow cooks, direct heat, and wood-fired baking.

Built for repeat service.

A ¼-inch steel cook chamber and ⅜-inch firebox provide substantial thermal mass. Sliding stainless steel grates help you position food, while three Tel-Tru gauges let you follow temperatures across the cooker.

Included equipment

Two hanging water / basting pots, locking pins, anti-wind damper vent, chassis and trailer jack.
