Charcoal grill accessory KOPA CO-T500

A coal oven tray holds solid fuel in a professional oven, distributing heat evenly across the cooking chamber. The tray sits beneath the cooking surface, allowing air to circulate around the burning fuel. As the coal ignites, the tray conducts heat upwards, creating a consistent temperature that bakes, roasts or grills without cold spots. This method relies on the tray's construction to support the weight of the fuel and withstand the intense heat of combustion.

To use the KOPA T500, the operator loads the tray with coal or other solid fuel, ensuring an even spread for balanced heat output. The tray is then positioned inside the oven, typically on a dedicated shelf or bracket. Once the fuel is lit, the tray's design channels air to maintain steady combustion. The operator monitors the burn rate and adds fuel as needed to sustain the required temperature. After cooking, the tray is removed once the fuel has fully burned out and cooled.

The T500 is constructed from heavy-duty materials built to endure high temperatures and repeated use. Its dimensions of 900 mm in length, 721 mm in width and 825 mm in height provide a stable base for solid fuel, while its 54 kg weight ensures it remains securely in place during operation. The tray's footprint fits standard commercial coal ovens, taking up minimal space while maximising heat transfer.

Cleaning involves removing ash and residue after each use. The tray's smooth surfaces allow for easy scraping and brushing, while its durable build resists warping or corrosion from frequent heating and cooling cycles. Regular maintenance ensures consistent performance and extends the tray's lifespan in a busy kitchen.

This tray is categorised under solid-fuel oven accessories in the KOPA professional range.
