Brand story and tradition

The story that was born from the flame

A stove that is not merely a tool, but a symbol of experience.
CRATERFLAME® was born in the heart of Transylvania, where fire has never been just a source of heat, but the forge of communities. Here, where wood, metal, and stone have shaped human life for centuries, the concept of outdoor cooking has been redefined.

  • Craftsmanship traditions with a history spanning over 100 years
  • Every piece is born in the heart of Transylvania with artisan care
  • Sustainable, high-quality materials designed to last for generations

This is the meeting of tradition and innovation – a dialogue between ancient fire and 21st-century design.
