Be Prepared:
Emergency/Survival Cooking with Saffire

One big advantage of the Saffire is the high efficiency. Thick, multiple layers of ceramics, and a tight gasket seal drastically reduce both radiant and convective heat loss. This gives you multiple advantages in cooking all types of food:

• Big reduction (up to 70%) in charcoal/wood needed for cooking (with lid closed).
• Extended cooking times (18+ hours) on one load of charcoal.

• Holds even temperatures – less time monitoring the grill.
• Controls and stops flare-ups.
• Minute air-flow preserves moisture in food.
• Safer exterior temperatures.

• No electricity needed.
• Uses commonly available fuel.
• Unmatched cooking versatility from: ceramics, design, patented features and set-up configurations.
• Compact design takes up minimal space while still offering large cooking capacity.
• Extreme Durability and Longevity from:
  • Very low chance of needing to replace key operational parts, especially with Crucible Firebox.
  • Major portion of grill is ceramic with no corrosion. LIFETIME WARRANTY.
  • Extremely resilient and durable, fired-on ceramic glaze finish for beauty and longevity.
  • Platinum Series features all 304 Stainless Steel hardware for the lowest possible corrosion and a very long life expectancy. LIFETIME WARRANTY.

Saffire makes the best multi-fuel emergency appliances. All you need is charcoal or wood. You don’t need electricity, you don’t need gas, and you definitely don’t need a Bluetooth or Internet connection to regulate your grill’s internal temperatures. That leaves you in complete control of your cook and able to divert your batteries and electrical or gas resources to other needs. In fact, all types of cooking, from toaster to microwave to range or oven, all require a significant amount of electricity or gas that may be unavailable or in limited quantities during emergencies.

• Electricity needed to operate the circuit board controller, ignitor, auger and combustion fan.
• Will not operate without electricity.
• Electrical parts are vulnerable and difficult to replace if marketplace or transportation is compromised.
• High fuel consumption that is multiplied in cold weather.

• Significant supply of gas needed.

• Uses a large amount of air causing low efficiency.

• Large thin exterior shells also cause very low efficiency.

• Thin exterior shells cause low efficiency and higher fuel usage, and lack the radiant properties of ceramic.

• Almost universally more difficult to set up for indirect, convective cooking, and usually lacking in multi-level cooking versatility.

• Usually have thin, uninsulated and very large exterior shells, causing low efficiency and very high fuel usage.

• High fuel consumption that is multiplied in cold weather.

• Typical interior fireboxes are highly vulnerable to breakage.*

* Saffire’s Crucible Firebox is the only one that has a higher density, higher-temperature firebrick liner that is completely encased in high-temperature Aluminized-Steel to prevent any structural failure.

• Natural Lump Charcoal
• Natural Wood Charcoal Briquettes
• Charcoal Briquettes (all shapes)
• Wood Chunks
• Seasoned or Dry Wood in all Forms
• Wood Chips (primarily for added flavor)

The Saffire uses much less fuel than most cookers for the reasons mentioned above. Then when you’re done cooking, it’s easy to save even more fuel for later by closing the dampers to quickly snuff out the fire. Quite a bit of charcoal will usually remain for the next time you cook.

The XL Saffire has a large cooking capacity with up to 1,090 square inches of cooking surface over three levels. That’s equivalent to an 18” x 60” rectangular area! The best for cooking multiple types of foods at once. It weighs near 300 lbs. The grill may be handled in separate components to make transportation easier. The ceramic head lifts out of the cart and the inner firebox and grate may also be lifted out to make it easier to handle.

The Large is great for having good capacity to cook for several people as well as being fairly easy to transport. It weighs 200 lbs and can also be handled in multiple components to lighten the load.

The Medium Saffire weighs 140 lbs. This lesser weight makes it quite easy for two people to lift into a vehicle for transport. As with the the 19” & 23” you may lift the grill head out of the cart and handle them separately to fit into a vehicle easier.

The Small Saffire was built with portability in mind. 90 lbs, weight. Easily carried by two people with the built-in handles. May also be carried by one strong person. It’s small enough to be packed in the backseat of a car. This grill is excellent for camping, or even if you need to bug-out in a hurry (just remember the charcoal!).

Saffire grills are so durable, all our grills come with a limited lifetime warranty on the grill head ceramics and internal ceramic parts*. That’s how much we believe in the durability of our products! All Saffires come with extra-thick ceramic walls. Our carts are designed with ultra-strong cart construction, are under a 7+ year warranty and include two solid locking casters. We offer (and recommend) our Platinum series, which features 304 stainless steel for the longest grill durability. Finally, our super-durable Crucible firebox, which comes with all new Large and XL grills, highly reduces the likelihood you will ever need to file a warranty claim (but we’re here if you do). Bottom line: Saffire is the Most Durable, longest lasting grill in its category. And just about anywhere!
