Why this charcoal oven earns its place
The Josper HJX-PRO-L175 DX472 is a large charcoal oven built for kitchens that want the flavour and fire of charcoal cooking at scale. Its cast steel construction, black finish and substantial 310 kg weight make it a serious piece of equipment for a high-output service kitchen.
Josper describes this model as being recommended for around 120 diners, with a fire-up time of around 35 minutes. Once running, it can reach chargrilling temperatures of up to 350°C and work from one load of charcoal for around 9 hours.
That combination of temperature range, fuel economy and cooking style is what gives the oven its appeal. It is designed to produce smoked and grilled food, and Josper positions the unit as bringing together tradition and innovation to add rich flavour and authentic taste to the food coming off it.
