Charcoal ovens have long been one of the great secrets of professional kitchens. From Spanish asadores to modern steak restaurants, chefs rely on them to produce intense heat, powerful searing and unmistakable charcoal flavour.
Now that same performance can be brought into the serious home outdoor kitchen.
The Pujadas Charcoal Oven range combines the power of live fire cooking with the control of an enclosed oven chamber, creating a unique cooking environment where grilling, roasting and smoking all happen at the same time.
Temperatures climb to 400°C, allowing you to achieve the kind of caramelisation, flavour and texture usually reserved for restaurant kitchens.
For those who love cooking with fire, a charcoal oven opens up a completely new level of outdoor cooking.
A charcoal oven works very differently from a traditional barbecue.
Instead of cooking in open air, the insulated oven chamber traps heat and smoke, allowing food to cook faster while developing deeper flavour.
The result is extraordinary cooking performance at home.
• steakhouse quality searing
• perfectly roasted vegetables
• incredibly juicy chicken and lamb
• natural charcoal smoke flavour
• excellent heat control
Because the heat circulates around the food inside the chamber, ingredients cook evenly while maintaining moisture and tenderness.
Pujadas charcoal ovens are engineered using the same principles trusted by professional chefs around the world.
Built entirely from high quality stainless steel, the oven features a thermally insulated chamber capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 1200°C around the perimeter, ensuring outstanding heat retention and efficiency.
• adjustable air intake and smoke outlet
• integrated temperature gauge
• adjustable grill height system
• sunken charcoal fire bowl for increased cooking space
• removable ash drawer for easy cleaning
• insulated stainless steel handles
Despite their professional heritage, the Essential models are perfectly suited to premium domestic outdoor kitchens, allowing home cooks to enjoy restaurant level charcoal cooking.

Every Pujadas charcoal oven is supplied with a complete accessory set so you can start cooking immediately.
Included with each oven:
• heavy duty grill rack
• charcoal poker
• ash shovel
• grill tongs
• cleaning brush
Additional accessories are available to expand your setup, including extra grill racks, stainless steel hot plates and heavy duty preparation tables designed to integrate seamlessly with the oven.
For those who already enjoy cooking over fire, a charcoal oven transforms what is possible in the outdoor kitchen.
Steaks develop a deep caramelised crust while remaining tender inside. Vegetables roast beautifully in the retained heat of the oven chamber. Fish cooks gently with subtle charcoal smoke.
Because heat is trapped within the oven, cooking becomes faster, more efficient and far more controlled than with a traditional barbecue.
It is the kind of cooking experience that encourages experimentation and rewards attention to detail.
For passionate outdoor cooks, a charcoal oven is not simply another grill.
It is a centrepiece appliance that elevates the entire outdoor kitchen.
Bring restaurant quality charcoal cooking into your own outdoor kitchen.
