Charlie Charcoal Oven

I forgot to mention that Tara and the team were genuinely so responsive and kept us informed the whole way along with the ordering process ace any queries.
It's not often that the owner of the company answers the phone to you giving such a personal service!

My wife and I bought this as a joint retirement present to ourselves when we retired in June 26…. Delivery was super easy and as agreed with the team. We have used it soooo much since it arrived - still learning but it’s easy to use and the food is great! The Kebab Rack is awesome and we’ve never had better BBQ’d kebabs…

The whole purchase and support has been super professional and personal - 100%.

If you are considering buying one - do it!!!!

After coveting a Charlie oven for over a year, we finally made the decision on the colour (all so gorgeous) and took delivery in July 2024. It's the best thing we have ever bought and such a conversation piece. We use it far more than we ever used a bbq or similar and since we moved house and are renovating, it is now our only oven. We have certainly put it through it paces over the past 5 months and it's been a life saver especially when entertaining. Great personal customer service from Tara, Neil and the team.

This oven blows me away every time I use it. Having multiple levels to cook food is a game changer. Got a large crowd over? You can spin burgers and sauages out in no time whilst easily keeping meat and vegetarian food separate. A leg of lamb on a meat hook is to die for, defintiely the best I have ever cooked. Now, if they can figure how to get a rotating wing basket in there...

We bought the charlie carcoal oven and the charlie outdoor island cabinet, great product easy to use well made, cooks your food perfect with that charcoal flavour added, we would recommend these products to anyone who loves food and cooking, lots of fun charlie is part of or family.

I ordered my Charlie after several chats with Tara who was so helpful at every stage. I needed delivery to the south of France and eventually delivery took place but was delayed by French customs and the delivery agent. Was it worth the wait....I think so. I have only really got to start using it as we needed a patio laid at our house to give us a level area.
Charlie certainly gets attention and people are fascinated by its design and attractive looks.
Good charcoal is key and here I use Big K which can be used a couple of times and retains and produces good heat.
I am only really setting out on the journey of usage but in the past few days greek spatchcock chicken with lemon and oregano potatoes, pizzas in minutes with easily achievable 400 degrees, veg chilli, beautiful Black Sea Bream like you would have at a top notch restaurant. I wish I lived in the UK because I would definitely go on a cooking day/weekend.
Yes they cost quite a bit but it truly is a great product so well designed and a real feature.
In future I would like to see an Charlie Oven cookbooks of recipes in publication. I know the recipes are online but that would be great.

A really fantastic cooker and we use it all the time. Just love our Charlie oven

I purchased a Cheeky Charlie (the table top variant) together with a number of accessories. Communication with Neil and Tara has been excellent throughout, the oven is fantastic, I really cannot recommend it highly enough. For comparison I also have a Kamado Joe Big Joe, a Whistler gas grill and had a Gozney Dome. The Charlie is the best built and can easily do the jobs of all the other bbq I own! The family are all big fans of the pizzas we made recently!

Charlie Oven products are of great quality and built to last. Online ordering is easy and what ever you order is well packed and delivered in a timely manner.
Keep up the good work!

Great product. Once you buy it you will use it more than your kitchen oven!

Amazing quality and service. I find the company amazing to deal with and feel very privileged and grateful to have one of their ovens and all the bells and whistles that make it sing

Just purchased a Charlie oven for my husbands big birthday, Tara and the team were amazing making sure everything went to plan.
Great product, exceptional service, thank you all !!

I love cooking with our Charlie oven It bakes, roasts, sears, smokes. The flavours are enhanced and some of the best results are from the simplest ingredients - baked potatoes are out of this world, but it’s with meat dishes that it comes into its own- especially slow cooked lamb and beef - I’m constantly inspired to try different recipes “al la Charlie”!

I have been really impressed, not only with the charlie oven but with the company and the delivery service. Amazing

Fabulous oven from a really brilliant company with top rate customer service...!

I have had my charlie oven now for about a month.
From the moment i ordered the service has been outstanding.
My beautiful oven was delivered on time and Tara kept in touch all the way and had been really lovely to deal with very professional and i could not be happier.
I ordered my Charlie oven in time for a big feast i do annually at the house for all the boys and the results were great.
Fantastic Iberico pork with a roasted pepper salsa, excellent spatchcock juicy poussin with a bravas sauce. juicy lamb chops and also slow cooked shoulder of lamb and lots more dishes cooked in the oven.
It's so easy to use you are ready to go in 20 minutes and nothing tastes better than a charcoal grill, i advise you to buy a quality charcoal as that gives the right burn and also flavor to your food, i purchased charcoal from charlie and it is excellent.
Funds allowing i will buy the island to match next year as that looks the part.
Finally thank you tara and i love my oven could not be happier.
Thank you

The Charlie is everything that was promised and more! Looks fantastic & easy to use.
Excellent communication from Tara.
Really looking forward to our Masterclass!

I really did my research before taking the plunge. All the videos were useful and FireCookingChris posts masses of recipes for inspiration. It seemed hugely important that the Charlie is made in UK and justifies the investment. Tara was so responsive to all my questions and it gave the purchase the personal touch. The delivery went smoothly and getting the oven into position was really helped by the friendly guy who came in the van who went above and beyond.
Finally the cooking itself is a dream. Easy to light. Quick to temp and holds it exactly as specified. I’ve cooked a casserole, roasted a chicken with the BEST roast potatoes ever, and our pizzas came out better than any restaurant.
I really can’t praise the Charlie enough. I genuinely love it and cooking outdoors is all I want to do from now on!! Thanks Team Charlie.

Exceptional customer service (I had a minor query about the oven door and I had back and forth answers straight away on a Sunday that answered my query straight away). The oven is beautiful and so easy to use. I have a big green egg and whilst I love it, the Charlie is so much easier as you have direct access to the fuel (for easy refill if needed) and you can light it and close the door straight away and that’s it, no waiting for ten mins and closing it. Highly recommend. The results are wonderful. Great for smoking.

Tara and team couldn’t have done more for us, from the initial enquiry to the delivery time to the delivery team, can’t praise them highly enough. The Charlie itself is fabulous! Easy to use, versatile and wonderful results.

Not only is Charlie an amazing piece of kit but so are the team behind it. I love that it’s British built by a small team. The build quality is amazing as is their customer service. We’ve not had Charlie long but our first few experiments have been great. The thing that is really surprising us at the moment is how he holds his temperature, it’s been a game changer for our low and slow cook ups. Really looking forward to experimenting more. Thank you

We may struggle with the Irish weather & outdoor cooking may be somewhat of a challenge but no more…. meet my new best friend Charlie, Charlie is the newest member of our outdoor kitchen and has left our green egg & pizza oven in the dust.
Temperature control is pure class, steaks, pizza, full Irish breakfast, there’s literally nothing Charlie cant do. I haven’t used my indoor ovens since his arrival.
Very excited for all our future culinary collab👌

The product is very good, and once you get used to it, cooks very well and cooks a wide variety of different types, from slow cook to flash fry and all in between.
We are living in a static caravan whilst our home is built, Charlie increases our cooking capacity and variety considerably
