More than
meets the fire.

Control the airflow, choose your cooking position and work with the heat you need. Cardinal brings those decisions within reach.

Smoke it slow.

Use the side firebox on equipped models for offset smoking, with steady heat and hardwood flavour throughout a longer cook.

Bring the heat.

Bring food closer to the coals for a sear, then move it to a gentler cooking position to finish.

Make it your own.

Add accessories for the cooking you enjoy, from rotisserie and asado to hibachi and wood-fired pizza. Availability depends on your model.

Airflow with intention.

The Convect Effect™ system manages airflow through the cooking chamber. Adjust the dampers as you work with the fire and the heat your food needs.

Cook across the zones.

Use different cooking positions to manage several dishes at once, from a slower roast to vegetables finishing over the coals.

Built for the long run.

Built in Canada with North American steel, each Firecooker is designed for regular use, with practical details you’ll appreciate every time you cook.

A firecook
at heart.

Marc Cardinali designed the Firecooker from a cook’s point of view: how the fire behaves, where the food sits and what makes a long day of cooking easier.

His more than 30 years of experience span barbecue, pizza and live-fire cooking. That same hands-on approach runs through Cluck & Squeal and every Cardinal Firecooker, built in Canada for people who care about what they serve.
