The Dimplex Crossray eXtreme is an electric outdoor grill that replaces conventional gas burners with dual 1100W carbon-fibre infrared heating elements capable of exceeding 300°C, with searing temperatures above 370°C. A patented angled burner design distributes heat evenly across the cooking surface, while a high hood accommodates larger cuts of meat and whole poultry. The grill also features a digital control panel, an integrated meat probe, and independently adjustable heating elements for precise temperature management.
A breathable design incorporates grill plates that shield the infrared elements from grease and splatter to reduce flare-ups and minimize smoke during cooking. The 23.6kg unit is designed for portability and supports grilling, roasting, smoking, and pizza preparation, while an optional trolley adds storage and mobility. Dimplex also offers a larger outdoor kitchen configuration with sintered stone countertops for permanent installations. The Dimplex Crossray eXtreme combines infrared cooking technology with a compact electric design for road-to-garden versatility.
