Compare Charlie to Other Outdoor Ovens
When it comes to outdoor cooking, not all ovens are created equal. Many claim versatility, but few deliver the range, consistency and craftsmanship that Charlie offers. Here’s how it compares to the rest.
Charlie vs Traditional BBQs
A BBQ is great for grilling, but it ends there. Charlie does that and much more. With precise temperature control from 100°C to 400°C, it can sear steaks, slow-roast joints, bake pizzas or smoke fish — all in one place. Built from heavy-gauge steel, it holds heat for up to 16 hours, meaning you can cook all day and night without refuelling.
Explore the rangeCharlie vs Pizza Ovens
Pizza ovens are brilliant for pizza and not much else. Charlie cooks perfect pizzas too, but it also roasts, smokes, grills and bakes. Instead of a single-use appliance, you get a professional oven that transforms your garden into a full outdoor kitchen.
Explore the rangeCharlie vs Kamado Grills
Kamado-style cookers like Big Green Egg are efficient, but they rely on ceramic shells that crack, chip and struggle in the British climate. Charlie is handmade from durable, weatherproof steel, fully insulated and designed to perform year-round. It reaches higher temperatures faster and offers far more cooking space.
Explore the rangeCharlie vs Complete Outdoor Kitchens
A full outdoor kitchen can cost £10,000 or more and still need separate appliances for each job. Charlie replaces all of them in one compact, striking design. It’s the luxury centrepiece that brings professional performance to any space — without the price or complexity of a full build.
Explore the range
Charlie Oven combines everything people love about barbecuing, smoking and pizza-making into one handcrafted appliance. Built in Britain, engineered for all seasons, and made to last a lifetime.

Testimonials
James Datcher, TrustpilotMade s second purchase from Charlie Oven. The customer support was fantastic and really helpful to arrange shipping to my availability. Love the build quality from them. Have really made cooking outside fun.
AuthorOven looks spectacular in its setting! It could have been tailor made for our space! Lights easily, better than egg BBQ. Really well made! Because it keeps a stable temp for so long, other food can be added after the main event, very useful!
AuthorWe have used it time and time again since its arrival on our patio for cooking up amazing dishes. Roast potatoes has been the biggest win, super crispy with a fluffy centre and a subtle hint of smoke. The versatility of the Charlie Charcoal Oven is unmeasured with so much grill space and huge options in distance from the coals. It will take me years to exhaust the cooking options and combinations. A big bonus with Charlie compared to ceramic type BBQ's is the ability to add fuel and smoking woods as needed during long cooks with no need to lift out grates or heat deflectors etc.
AuthorI bought this fantastic colourful oven 4 weeks ago. The first impression is how well it is made, and the second is the wonderful splash of colour it brings to the garden. It is very simple to use after only a little practice. So far have cooked at low temperature as well as Pizza at high temperature. Following guidance given by Neil and Tara you simply can't go wrong. My results initially varied a little through the learning curve, but are now very pleasing. It is a joy to use, easy to clean and is built to last. I am extremely pleased I bought it.
AuthorWe bought this at the Cheltenham food festival, safe to say it was the best purchase we've done in a while. The Charlie Oven has been great this summer. It's made me become a better cook (with a few learning curves!!) and host for my friends and family. It's really nice to have an oven like appliance that is very well built and made of premium quality materials. Customer service was great at the Cheltenham food festival as well. I fully recommend if you love using BBQs at home and want something that can do everything all at once! smoker, BBQ/Grill and pizza oven!?
