Written by the company

We are a British company making outdoor ovens and modular outdoor kitchens, hand-built to last and designed to make live-fire cooking easy at home. The Charlie Oven does the work of four pieces of kit in one. BBQ grill, smoker, charcoal oven and pizza oven. It runs on lump charcoal placed straight onto the fire grates, so you cook over real fire from the moment it is lit. The design comes from the charcoal ovens professional kitchens rely on, which gives the food its flavour while keeping fuel use low. One load goes a long way across a full day of cooking. From the same oven you can turn out pizza, slow-smoked brisket, roasts, flatbreads and everyday grilling. When you want a full setup, we build modular outdoor kitchens so Charlie sits alongside matching cabinets and worktops, designed around your garden. Everything is hand-built in Britain to be used all year round, in any weather. Named Good Housekeeping Best Outdoor Oven 2024.

Fantastic charlie oven

I have had my charlie oven now for about a month.
From the moment i ordered the service has been outstanding.
My beautiful oven was delivered on time and Tara kept in touch all the way and had been really lovely to deal with very professional and i could not be happier.
I ordered my Charlie oven in time for a big feast i do annually at the house for all the boys and the results were great.
Fantastic Iberico pork with a roasted pepper salsa, excellent spatchcock juicy poussin with a bravas sauce. juicy lamb chops and also slow cooked shoulder of lamb and lots more dishes cooked in the oven.
It's so easy to use you are ready to go in 20 minutes and nothing tastes better than a charcoal grill, i advise you to buy a quality charcoal as that gives the right burn and also flavor to your food, i purchased charcoal from charlie and it is excellent.
Funds allowing i will buy the island to match next year as that looks the part.
Finally thank you tara and i love my oven could not be happier.
Thank you

Excellent device

I have had the Parrilla V rack for a few weeks now and have used it for grilling steaks, burgers, lamb chops and lobster tails - all cooked beautifully. Flare-ups are a thing of the past and fattier cuts like lamb chops render beautifully. I would recommend that anyone buying a new Charlie oven consider this rack option when specifying their new oven.

New kebab grill

Bought the new kebab grill and it is amazing. The build quality is second to none and clearly alot of thought has gone into the design! I've used it every day since it arrived with amazing results. Can not recommend this company and it's products highly enough. They're not cheap, but the quality means they're great value

Exceptional!

Exceptional customer service (I had a minor query about the oven door and I had back and forth answers straight away on a Sunday that answered my query straight away). The oven is beautiful and so easy to use. I have a big green egg and whilst I love it, the Charlie is so much easier as you have direct access to the fuel (for easy refill if needed) and you can light it and close the door straight away and that’s it, no waiting for ten mins and closing it. Highly recommend. The results are wonderful. Great for smoking.

I didn’t rush into buying my Charlie…

I didn’t rush into buying my Charlie and had a LOT of questions that Tara responded to promptly and knowledgeably. Delivery was fantastic with superb help at my end as it’s a heavy item.
I’m still finding my way around it but could not be more pleased with the build quality and the food I’m producing is off the chart with flavour. Check out all the videos online for info and recipes.
Obviously it’s a big purchase but if you are hesitating taking the plunge then I would urge you to go for it. Take your outdoor cooking life to the absolute next level and fully expecting to give my indoor cooker a rest for every dry day we get.
The Charlie Oven is the best thing I’ve ever bought for myself and I know I’m going to using it for years to come.

Charlie Oven’s are ace!

From start to finish Tara and the team were on top of the entire journey. Giving meaningful updates throughout the entire experience. The arrival of my Charlie definitely has influenced the cooking, often meaning that all of my guest have different jobs to do, making more of an event for dinner meets!

We had such a fun time

We had such a fun time, and learnt lots of tips from Andrew. Owning a Charlie is to be a member of a special community of outdoor cooks, sharing recipes and ideas and meeting up. Long may it continue. Thank you Tara and Neil. You are amazing!

A brilliant weekend. Thanks to all involved. Andrew is a superb chef but is also inspiring. It will help us be more adventurous with our Charlie cooking. Venue and hospitality all great. We would certainly go to another Charlie masterclass. Rosemary and David

This oven is awesome

This oven is awesome. Far better than the one I have in my kitchen. Very versatile, holds its temperature for a long time, has a great capacity and looks brilliant (I have the orange one).
Most definitely cooking my Christmas turkey in the Charlie this year.

Charlie’s world class…

We may struggle with the Irish weather & outdoor cooking may be somewhat of a challenge but no more…. meet my new best friend Charlie, Charlie is the newest member of our outdoor kitchen and has left our green egg & pizza oven in the dust.
Temperature control is pure class, steaks, pizza, full Irish breakfast, there’s literally nothing Charlie cant do. I haven’t used my indoor ovens since his arrival.
Very excited for all our future culinary collab👌

Go to a Masterclass!

Went to the masterclass with Matt Burgess, had an excellent day from start to finish. Picked up lots of tips and have implemented them to great success at home. Tara is a fabulous host and the Charlie Oven is a really worthwhile purchase!
