Charcoal lift grill KOPA CO-DP235D DROP-IN

A drop-in charcoal oven that concentrates heat from burning charcoal to grill food at high speed, not bake it. The thick refractory steel lining absorbs and radiates intense heat, cutting cooking times by up to 40% compared with open grills and raising throughput by up to 66%. The result is seared, juicy steaks, fish and vegetables, plus the flexibility to cook in pans directly on the charcoal bed. The oven is built as a drop-in unit with a matching under-counter stand on legs or wheels. The stand provides storage for utensils and charcoal, while a two-level stainless-steel heated rack above the oven keeps cooked food warm without drying it out. The entire assembly is finished in the same visual style, making it suitable for open kitchens where presentation matters. To operate, the chef loads charcoal into the firebox and lights it. Once the refractory lining is hot, food is placed on the grill grate or in pans set directly on the charcoal. The oven's high exhaust rate draws air through the fire, maintaining a steady temperature and removing smoke. After cooking, the food is transferred to the heated rack above the oven to hold at serving temperature while the next batch is grilled. The oven is constructed from thick refractory steel that retains heat and resists warping. The stand and heated rack are made of stainless steel for durability and easy cleaning. The drop-in design allows the oven to be installed flush with the worktop, saving space and creating a seamless look. Controls are minimal: a damper on the exhaust duct regulates airflow and temperature, while the heated rack requires no additional settings. The exhaust rate of 5500 m³/h ensures rapid smoke removal, keeping the kitchen environment clear. The stated charcoal consumption of 46-50 kg reflects the oven's high throughput and sustained operation. The weight of 690 kg indicates a solid, stable unit that must be positioned on a reinforced floor. The footprint of 2460 × 900 mm, plus two side shelves of 930 × 735 mm and two upper racks of 960 × 305 mm, defines the space required for installation and workflow around the oven. Cleaning involves removing ash from the firebox and wiping down the stainless-steel surfaces. The refractory lining requires occasional brushing to remove residue but does not need frequent replacement. The heated rack and side shelves are removable for thorough cleaning. The DP235D is a drop-in model designed for integration into a worktop or counter. This drop-in charcoal oven is engineered as a single, high-capacity model to integrate seamlessly into professional kitchen counters without requiring additional floor space. This oven is categorised under charcoal ovens in the KOPA professional catering range.
