At Rural Ranges Ltd, we understand the demands of cooking enthusiasts and hospitality operators alike. That’s why we champion this remarkable charcoal oven as a sustainable, versatile investment for both garden and business use.

What Is the Charlie Charcoal Oven?

The Charlie Charcoal Oven is more than just a BBQ—it’s an all‑in‑one outdoor oven that combines roasting, smoking, grilling and pizza‑baking. Its vertical, insulated design mimics high‑end commercial charcoal ovens, with an internal temperature range of 100 °C to 400 °C. With adjustable vents and multiple rack positions, you can control heat flow precisely and cook dishes exactly how you want them.

Key Benefits of the Charlie Charcoal Oven

Fuel Efficiency & Sustainability

This oven uses about 45 per cent less charcoal than traditional grills, cutting costs and carbon footprint.

Unmatched Versatility

Seamlessly switch between methods—grilling over coals, slow‑cooking with indirect heat, or baking pizzas at up to 400 °C .

Premium Build Quality

Made in Britain with powder‑coated steel, stainless hinges and ceramic insulation—durable enough to withstand all weather conditions.

Using the Charlie Outdoor Oven Effectively

Lighting & Temperature Control

Start with a charcoal pyramid and light with firelighters—reach 200‑250 °C in 15–20 minutes.

Direct vs Indirect Cooking

Place food higher for roasting and smoking or lower for direct grilling—nine rack positions let you layer dishes easily.
