Why Choose a Saffire for Your Outdoor Kitchen or BBQ Island?
Stainless Steel is the Best for Outdoor Kitchen BBQ's and Smokers
Saffire’s grill heads come with all 304 stainless steel hardware. This means they can handle the weather all build-ins need to endure. 304 stainless steel is a higher-quality grade of stainless steel. It has more nickel and chromium alloys than typical, cheaper grades of stainless steel. This greatly enhances its rust resistant properties in damp, salty, and chlorinated environments. This is especially important in an ocean-side climate, where the air is salty and metals rust quickly! Between the protection of a grill cover, the rust-resistance of 304 stainless steel and the ultra durable ceramic body, a Saffire can be the best, longest lasting grill you own near the ocean! And on top of all that, stainless steel just makes the Saffire look all the more elegant!
You put a lot into a nice outdoor kitchen. Don’t compromise it’s durability and aesthetics with lower quality. With Saffire you’ll get durability, flexibility and outstanding aesthetics to enhance your outdoor cooking area for many years to come.
Saffire Grills Fit Flush to Your BBQ Island Counter Top
The hinge on a Saffire is flat on the bottom and opens upward. This allows it to rest just above the surface of your build-in counter. Unlike many other brands which open downwards, Saffire’s hinges don’t need to be cut around or elevated high above the counter surface to make them work. We specifically designed the Saffire hinge with build-ins in mind.
Easily Add Smoking Chips to Your Built-In Grill
Saffires have always come with our patented Smokin’ Chip Feeder port. This little port allows you to dump smoking wood chips into your Saffire smoker with ease, without lifting the lid while you cook. Just unscrew the Smokin’ Chip Feeder port cap (be careful, it will likely be hot), slide the Smokin’ Chip Feeder tool partway into the port, add wood chips to the tool, and then push the tool in and twist to dump the chips onto the burning charcoal. Instant smoke. It’s that easy!
Less Cleanup in Your Outdoor Kitchen, and It's Easier When You Do Clean
Many kamados still require you to scrape out used ash through a little ash door at the bottom of the grill. Others have little ash drawers that fill up really fast. Because regular ash cleaning is so important for the integrity of your grill, all of Saffire’s Platinum Large and XL grills come standard with a charcoal basket and ash pan! With our huge lift-out ash pan, you won’t need to clean out the ash nearly as often. In addition, when you do need to clean out the ash, cleaning is as simple as lifting and shaking the charcoal basket, and then lifting out the ash pan and dumping the ash. It’s the best, easiest cleaning experience in the kamado industry!
Safely Grill on Combustible Surfaces
It’s extremely important to have some form of heat shield between the bottom of your grill and any combustible surfaces. Saffire offers an innexpensive build kit for placing your Saffire on a combustible surface, such as a wooden table, which adds 1 1/2″ of space between your grill and the surface beneath it. This kit adds two separate levels of air between your grill and the surface below, which greatly reduces the heat transfer between the bottom of the grill and what lies beneath. In addition, Saffire Platinum grill heads come with either an Ash Pan or an Efficiency Plate, both of which act as a heat shield inside the grill itself.
Alternatively, solid, noncombustible, materials can be placed between the combustible surface and the bottom of your Saffire, however in this case we recommend that surface be at least 1 1/4″ to 1 1/2″ in height to provide the heat resistance needed for safely using your grill at high temperatures.
