Overview: Charcoal Ovens in Front-of-House Restaurant Kitchens
“They wanted fire. Not heat. Not light. Just that real glowing, smoky fire.”
That’s what the chef told us during a site visit in Nairobi — standing in a beach resort kitchen with a view of the buffet station. He didn’t want a gas flame or a display grill. He needed a true charcoal oven: heat you can see, aroma you can smell, drama the guest can feel.
From that moment, we knew charcoal ovens weren’t just cooking tools — they’re stage lights for restaurant kitchens. They transform a line cook into a performer, and a hot dish into an experience. As part of our contract manufacturing and commercial kitchen projects, we’ve delivered Turkey-made charcoal ovens to 5-star resorts, live cooking bistros, industrial kitchens, and ethnic restaurants worldwide.
Whether you’re a kitchen designer, contractor, or restaurant group operator, our mission is simple: craft charcoal ovens that deliver on flavor, fire, and front-of-house aesthetics — without compromising safety, compliance, or heat control.
Our ovens are now fired up in hotel kitchens, restaurant chains, open buffets, industrial catering kitchens, and resort cooking shows across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.
