Why this charcoal oven earns its place
Built for high-volume charcoal cooking in professional kitchens, the HMB AB 160 combines the essential skill of live-fire heat with the practicality of continuous holding. At 955 mm wide and 900 mm deep, it commands counter space but delivers the capacity to matter—each shift you're grilling steady, not scrambling for deck space.
The oven sits tall at 1740 mm, positioning the cooking surface at an ergonomic height and keeping the baker's view unobstructed. All surfaces are stainless steel, chosen for durability under daily charcoal work: the residual heat, the ash fallout, the temperature swings. The unit carries a 2-year warranty, reflecting its industrial pedigree.
Below the grill sits the natural heated holding cupboard—a working detail that separates this from cheaper models. Maintained between 50 and 70°C by the oven's residual heat, it's where rested grilled meats and accompaniments stay warm without overcooking. No thermostatic faffing. No separate hot box to plug in. The ambient warmth of the oven itself does the job.
