Charlie Professional Oven – Built for Busy Service Environments

Charlie's Professional oven is designed to withstand the pressures of busy service. This keeps the charm and ease of use of Charlie's domestic models but with simple modifications to suit busy working life.

Multi-Level Cooking for Versatile Techniques

With nine rack cooking levels for multi-height cooking, this model allows for a huge range of cooking and smoking techniques. It is deeper than the domestic model, designed to fit full-sized gastronomic pans.

Simple, Intuitive Controls

Exceptionally easy to use, this gorgeous oven is controlled by opening and closing the vents, choosing the rack height to suit your oven, and adding charcoal and wood for smokier flavours. Made in Britain, this is an oven built to last and comes with a 1-year commercial warranty.

Robust Design for Commercial Use

The Charlie Professional Oven is 70cm deep, 62cm wide and 180cm high, with an oven capacity of 164 litres. It weighs 80kg more than the domestic oven, with thicker gauge steel and heavy-duty racks, castors and hinges to withstand the pressures of intensive commercial use.

Efficient Heating and Charcoal Use

It reaches temperatures up to 400°C, and temperatures of 200–250°C take 15–20 minutes to reach. With Charlie's excellent insulation and efficiency, a single small load of charcoal can maintain temperatures for between 4 and 6 hours, while a fully loaded charcoal bed can maintain temperatures of 100–120°C for up to 16 hours. When used all day, charcoal consumption is between 4kg and 6kg per day.

Durable, All-Weather Outdoor Oven

The oven is completely weatherproof and can be used in an outdoor kitchen all year round, come rain or shine. The steel exterior is protected by a powder-coated paint that, along with the standard colours, can be chosen in any RAL colour to suit your brand and laser cut with your logo.

How it works:

Minimal Controls, Maximum Performance

There are only two controls on a Charlie oven: the lower vent control knob, which draws air into the oven, and the upper vent control knob, which lets air and smoke escape through the chimney. When you light the oven, both vents need to be open. A small pyramid of lumpwood charcoal is placed on the grate's centre inside the oven and lit with the aid of a natural firelighter. The door is then closed, and the oven gets to work. When the oven reaches the desired temperature, the vents are pushed almost closed, and you can start cooking.

Charlie Professional Ovens are £8,250 including VAT and come with a 1 year commercial use and 3 year domestic use warranty.
