Elangrill Charcoal Oven FB1200-FORNO for Professional Kitchens

A charcoal oven harnesses radiant heat from burning charcoal to cook food evenly and impart a distinct smoky flavour. The charcoal sits in a lower chamber, generating intense heat that rises into the cooking space above. The adjustable airflow controls the burn rate, stabilising the temperature for consistent results over long service periods.

To operate the FB1200-FORNO, the user loads charcoal into the base, ignites it, and adjusts the smoke exhaust to regulate oxygen flow. Once the desired temperature is reached—monitored via the integrated thermometer—the cooking grids are positioned at the chosen height. Food is placed on the grids, and the door is closed to retain heat while allowing periodic checks. The fat collection bucket beneath the chamber catches drippings, reducing flare-ups and simplifying cleanup.

The oven's structure is built entirely from AISI 430 stainless steel, a grade selected for its heat resistance and corrosion protection. This material withstands the thermal stress of repeated heating cycles and resists staining from grease and moisture. The exterior and interior surfaces are smooth and non-porous, meeting hygiene standards for professional kitchens. Two height-adjustable grids allow the operator to move food closer to or farther from the heat source, adapting to different cooking requirements without altering the charcoal load.

Controls include the smoke exhaust damper, which fine-tunes ventilation to maintain steady temperatures, and the door latch, which secures the chamber while minimising heat loss. The integrated thermometer provides real-time temperature readings, enabling precise adjustments during cooking.

A footprint of 1200 by 723 mm places the oven on a standard worktop or mobile stand, while a height of 791 mm allows comfortable access for loading and unloading. The unit's weight ensures stability during operation, though it remains portable enough for repositioning within the kitchen. Temperatures exceeding 260 °C open processes such as charring, searing, and rapid roasting that lower-heat appliances cannot achieve.

Cleaning involves removing the fat collection bucket for emptying and wiping down the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth. The smooth finish prevents food particles from adhering, and the heat-resistant material tolerates routine sanitisation. The grids and interior can be scrubbed with non-abrasive pads to remove residue without damaging the surface.

The FB1200-FORNO is available in black or red finishes, allowing integration with existing kitchen aesthetics. The catalogue positions it among high-temperature cooking appliances for professional catering environments.
