Why this charcoal oven earns its place
Not every kitchen has the headroom or floorspace for a standing oven. The HMB SB 160 answers the problem differently: a worktop-height charcoal oven that sits at 1115 mm tall, wide enough at 955 mm to grill seriously, deep enough at 1010 mm to work properly. It brings live-fire cooking into kitchens where a floor-to-ceiling installation isn't an option.
What sets this model apart is the heating rack—not a cupboard, but a working shelf at the oven's natural heat gradient, hovering around 45°C. That temperature is perfect for resting grilled proteins before plating and for holding pans and sauces warm without cooking them further. It's where the craft happens: the meat rests, the juices redistribute, the flavour settles, and meanwhile the cookware stays hot and ready.
Built from stainless steel, it's designed for the daily charcoal rhythm: the heat, the smoke, the ash, the colour-changes that define live-fire cooking. At 686 kg, it's a substantial, fixed installation—this oven stays put—but the worktop design lets you integrate it into existing passes and prep stations in ways a floor-standing model can't match.
