Why this charcoal oven earns its place
The Bertha Original is a premium, British-engineered charcoal oven built to deliver exceptional flavour and throughput without compromise. Constructed from durable 304 stainless steel with an insulated door and walls, it retains heat efficiently while keeping your cooking area cooler and more comfortable. The enclosed charcoal grill design seals in natural meat moisture, ensuring succulent, properly charred results every time—a marked contrast to open grills that lose heat and moisture to the air.
With 15 tray height options and the capacity to cook approximately 180 kg of meat per hour, the Bertha scales from à la carte service through to high-volume prep. The dual bottom air vents create two distinct heat zones, giving you precise temperature control across the cooking surface—essential when you're managing a mixed service with different proteins and cook times. Operate efficiently anywhere between 120°C for gentle warming and 550°C for aggressive searing; the innovative fire break design keeps spark and flame safely away from overhead canopies, so you can run this oven reliably in indoor or covered outdoor kitchens.
Built for sustained, high-performance cooking, the Bertha does the work without fuss. The integrated stand and caster wheels make repositioning effortless during service or cleaning. A built-in grease tray and ash pan simplify the daily cleanup ritual, whilst the front-mounted analogue thermometer gives you accurate real-time temperature without guesswork. Dual grill shelves ship as standard, and the fully weatherproof construction means it performs in any catering environment—from event marquees to permanent kitchen installations.
