Elangrill FB700-FORNO Charcoal Oven 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 at the base of the chamber, generating intense heat that rises naturally. Adjusting the distance between the food and the heat source allows control over cooking intensity, making it suitable for searing meats, roasting vegetables, or slow-cooking larger cuts. The enclosed chamber retains heat efficiently, while ventilation systems regulate airflow to maintain consistent temperatures and prevent excessive smoke build-up.

The FB700-FORNO charcoal oven is loaded by placing charcoal in the base of the chamber and igniting it. Once the desired temperature is reached, food is arranged on the height-adjustable stainless steel grids. The operator sets the distance from the heat by raising or lowering the grids, then monitors cooking progress through the easy-to-open door. The adjustable smoke exhaust system fine-tunes airflow to stabilise the temperature and ensure clean combustion. A built-in thermometer provides real-time temperature readings, allowing precise adjustments for different dishes. Grease and drippings are collected in a stainless steel bucket beneath the cooking chamber, simplifying cleanup.

The oven is constructed from AISI 430 stainless steel, chosen for its heat resistance and durability under high temperatures. Both the exterior and interior surfaces are made from this material, ensuring corrosion resistance and easy maintenance. The two cooking grids are also stainless steel, allowing for quick repositioning during cooking. The door is designed to minimise heat loss while providing safe access to the chamber.

The 700 mm width, 723 mm depth, and 791 mm height create a compact footprint suitable for most professional kitchens, while the robust stainless steel construction ensures stability. The temperature range exceeding 260 °C enables high-heat cooking techniques such as grilling, roasting, and searing. The adjustable grids allow flexibility in cooking different types of food, from delicate fish to thick cuts of meat. The integrated thermometer removes the need for external tools, streamlining the cooking process.

Cleaning involves removing the fat collection bucket and emptying it after each use. The stainless steel interior and grids can be wiped down with a damp cloth or mild detergent to remove residue. The exterior surfaces are similarly easy to maintain, requiring only regular wiping to preserve their appearance. The oven is available in black or red finishes, allowing it to match different kitchen aesthetics.

The FB700-FORNO is categorised under charcoal ovens in the Elangrill professional catering range, designed for chefs who require precise control over high-heat cooking methods.
