Built for a busy service.

The Professional Charlie Charcoal Oven brings versatile charcoal cooking to restaurants, caterers and professional kitchens. Grill, sear, roast, bake and smoke in one oven, with a deeper chamber that accommodates full-size 1/1 gastronorm pans.

Nine rack positions let you arrange the cooking space around your menu. Three heavy-duty stainless steel cooking racks are included, giving you room to cook at different heights and distances from the fire.

British construction for professional cooking

Handmade in Britain, the Professional Charlie combines thicker-gauge steel, welded construction, dual insulation and a sealed door. Controlled airflow helps you set and hold the heat throughout service.

The cooking chamber is 10 cm deeper than the domestic Charlie’s. The oven weighs 245 kg, with the depth and construction suited to professional cookware and extended cooking.

Typical lumpwood charcoal consumption is 4 to 6 kg per day, depending on temperatures, service length and workload. Add a small amount of wood when you want smoke flavour.

Our new, improved design

The Professional Charlie now has a 100% stainless steel body. Its new compression door handle turns through 90 degrees to pull the door firmly against its seal.

We’ve introduced two charcoal grate levels. The lower position gives you greater distance between the fire and your food and room for a deeper charcoal load. The higher position brings the fire closer to the lower cooking racks.

A new fire barrier inside the door opening helps protect the gasket from direct heat and retain more heat inside the oven.

A wide range of cooking accessories

Professional cooking racks are longer to fit the deeper chamber. All other Charlie cooking accessories work across the three oven models, including pizza stones, planchas, the Argentine V grill, Turkish kebab rack and deep roasting tray.

Choose the accessories around your menu, with the flexibility to try different cooking styles in the same oven.

Your colours. Your name on the door.

Choose from a wide range of colours or request a bespoke RAL finish to suit your restaurant, venue or outdoor kitchen. The Professional Charlie can also be personalised with your own logo laser-cut into the door.

"Working with the Charlie Oven is a pleasure. Having worked on other Spanish charcoal ovens for years, the Charlie makes much more sense to me, both for direct and indirect cooking."
