Why choose a charcoal oven

Charcoal ovens — charcoal ovens offer several advantages compared to electric or gas alternatives. Unique charcoal aroma — the gases and smoke from charcoal combustion give the product an unmatched flavour that cannot be imitated with electric or gas appliances; see Charcoal Lift Grills Parilla. High temperature — charcoal ovens reach extremely high temperatures (up to 500°C and more), which are difficult to replicate with other energy sources; see Japanese Style Robata Charcoal Grills. Outdoor and indoor versions — some charcoal ovens are suitable for outdoor use in seasonal dining; see Grills.

Maintenance and safety of charcoal ovens

Charcoal ovens — maintaining a charcoal oven requires careful attention, as high temperatures and charcoal combustion products affect the appliance’s components. Ash cleaning — daily; accumulated ash reduces air circulation and impairs combustion; see Accessories for Charcoal Grills. Chamber cleaning — once a week; grease and other food residues can ignite at high temperatures; see Charcoal Grills and Ovens. Fire safety requirements — CO detector, chimney/ventilation check, fire extinguishing equipment nearby.
