Questions, answered.
How long does it take to heat up?
About 20 minutes to reach 250°C (480°F) and about 30 minutes to reach 400°C (750°F), depending on your charcoal. For pizza, allow 30 minutes so the stones heat right through.
How long does the charcoal last?
Half a football of lumpwood charcoal holds 200°C (390°F) for 4 to 6 hours. A full grate holds 100 to 130°C (210 to 265°F) for up to 16 hours, for low and slow cooking. You can add charcoal during a cook.
What can I cook in it?
Grill, roast, bake, slow cook, smoke hot or cold, and cook pizza at 375 to 400°C (705 to 750°F). With seven rack positions you can cook several dishes at once, at different heats.
Can it stay outside all year?
Yes. The Cheeky is made from 100% 304 stainless steel inside and out with a weatherproof powder-coated finish, and the closed oven cooks in all weathers. A cover keeps it looking its best between cooks.
How much space does it need?
It is 62 cm wide, 60 cm deep and 116 cm tall with the chimney (86 cm without). Set it on a strong, level worktop or its own base cabinet. Keep 5 cm clear at each side and 50 cm clear above the chimney. Outdoor use only.
Does it arrive ready to use?
Yes. It arrives assembled on a pallet, with free kerbside delivery to mainland Great Britain. It is made to order and delivered in 3 to 4 weeks. Colours marked in stock arrive in 5 to 7 days. Slot the chimney into the top, place the charcoal grates and it is ready to light.
What fuel does it use?
Good, dry lumpwood charcoal. Wood is only for smoky flavour: a palmful of chips or a small chunk. How to choose your charcoal.
What warranty does it have?
5 years for home use and 2 years for commercial use. Read the full warranty.
Can I see one before I buy?
Yes. Book a video demo, visit Harrods or another stockist, or cook on one at a masterclass.
Can the Cheeky Charlie go on any worktop?
It needs a strong, level worktop or its own base cabinet, as it weighs 128 kg including two cooking racks. Keep 5 cm clear at each side and 50 cm clear above the chimney. It opens at the front and stays cool outside, so it can sit right beside your other cabinets. Outdoor use only.
Is it welded or screwed together?
Welded. Every Cheeky is welded, painted and assembled by hand in Britain, from 304 stainless steel inside and out.
Of chefs cooking this way.
Charcoal ovens have been in restaurant kitchens for over half a century. Charlie brings one home.
The best room in the house has no ceiling.
Choose your colour and your Cheeky is made to order and delivered in 3 to 4 weeks, ready to light. Colours marked in stock arrive in 5 to 7 days.
