Everything you need to know about CRATERFLAME® grills — from first fire to daily use.

CRATERFLAME® is an award-winning, dual-wall outdoor cooking unit that functions as both a high-performance grill and a centerpiece garden furniture piece. Its outer shell stays cool to the touch, making it safe for families with children or pets. Its elegant design, versatile accessories, and all-season usability offer a truly premium grilling experience.

The 10 mm thick carbon steel cooking plate heats up in approximately 20 minutes over an open flame, reaching optimal grilling temperature quickly and efficiently.

Absolutely! CRATERFLAME® is a true all-season product. Whether you're grilling in the snow or hosting a winter gathering with mulled wine and chimney cake, it performs flawlessly year-round.

The grill is available in two sizes:

  • S size - Cooking surface: 740 x 740 mm
  • XL size - Cooking surface: 1000 x 1000 mm

Each CRATERFLAME® unit comes with a wide range of thoughtfully designed accessories:

  • Rotisserie with motor
  • Ceramic dome for baking dough-based foods
  • Chimney cake baking rod
  • 8 attachable table panels made of solid pine wood
  • Hanging ring for stew pots or cauldrons
  • Central 4-leg support ring for pans and pots
  • Large steel lid
  • Ash collection container
  • Waterproof protective cover
  • Integrated perforated LED lighting with timer and remote control

The grill is low-maintenance. After use, wipe down the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth or paper towel and a mild, non-aggressive degreaser or alcohol-based cleaner. Avoid abrasive or corrosive substances to preserve the powder-coated finish.

Always remove the wooden table panels after use and store them in a dry, sheltered location to protect them from weather exposure.

After cooking, while the plate is still warm, clean it using a scraper (wearing heat-resistant gloves), then wipe it with a paper towel. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil after each use and before the next to protect the steel and ensure optimal performance.

Yes — safety is a key feature of CRATERFLAME®. Thanks to its dual-wall and dual-firechamber construction, the outer shell does not heat up, making it a safe choice for families, public spaces, and hospitality settings where burns must be avoided.

Ash collects in a removable ash pan. It is important to wait until the grill has completely cooled down before removing and emptying the ash container.

The CRATERFLAME® is available in two exclusive design lines:

  • Meteorite Bloom
  • Meteorite Radiant

Both styles feature a rust-brown, electrostatically powder-coated finish and come in S and XL sizes.

CRATERFLAME® arrives fully assembled, securely packed in cardboard on a pallet for easy transport. Installation is quick and straightforward:

  • Ensure the grill is placed on a flat, level surface.
  • Use a spirit level and the adjustable threaded feet to fine-tune alignment.
  • If placing the grill on grass or in a park, we recommend creating a simple base — e.g. a sand bed topped with paving stones — for stability and proper leveling.

CRATERFLAME® is perfect for family gatherings, backyard dinners, and social cooking events. It's also an excellent choice for restaurants, hotels, event venues, and guesthouses that want to offer something premium, unique, and visually striking. It's economical to operate, heats up quickly, and enables guests to enjoy live cooking experiences that bring people together — ideal for team-building, private parties, and public events alike.
