1. Introduction
The Pujadas Charcoal Ovens range show a clear commitment to being
at the forefront of trends to meet the requirements of the demanding
hospitality market.
Cooking over embers, an ancient technique, in a closed grill brings
a combination of tradition and modernity to contemporary cuisine.
Charcoal embers, as a primary heat source inside an oven, allows
you to control the cooking and smoking of food to achieve a taste,
smokiness and texture designed to satisfy the most demanding
palates.
With a clear commitment to follow emerging trends in cookery
and cuisine, Pujadas presents a new range of charcoal ovens.
Manufactured in Spain, using high-quality steel, Pujadas charcoal
ovens allow you to work with a temperature range of between 250ºC
a 350ºC to provide a homogeneous cooking response throughout
service times.
The ovens are suitable for cooking a variety of dishes from meat,
sh,vegetables,riceandpizzatodesertsmakingthemanattractive
choice, not only for traditional restaurants but also for avant-garde
restaurant establishments, who choose charcoal ovens as an option
within their gastronomic range.

1. Thermometer: Instrument that indicates the temperature
inside the oven. The temperature reading is taken at the
same point as its location and its range is from 0°C to 500°C.
2. Door handle: Thermally insulated which allows the door to
be opened safely.
3. Door: Element that allows us to close the whole space.
4. Ash drawer: Drawer that collects the charcoal ashes and at
the same time allows us to regulate the oxygen intake.
5. Cap: Filters,coolsandreducestherateoftheairow.
6. Firebreak: Safety element that allows us to prevent sparks
producedbytherefromgettingoutside,decreasingtheir
temperature and speed.
2. Description of oven
Cookingoveremberswasoneoftherstcookingtechniquesinhu-
man history. Wood and other plant-based combustible materials
served as a source of heat for cooking food using skewers or other
primitive cooking utensils.
Despite the advance of history, this type of cooking has continued
over time and has been passed down to us primarily through the use
of open grills. Those known as barbecues are based on the same prin-
ciple as in the origins of cooking: the cooking of food by proximity to a
heat source of plant origin, namely charcoal embers.
Closedgrillsoerusthepossibilityofbeingabletocookfoodusing
the same ancestral technique but in an enclosed space. By controlling
theairowenteringtheovenwecancontrolthecookingtemperatu-
re, as well as the concentration of smoke inside the oven which allows
us to control the smoking of the food in order to give it a very charac-
teristic taste and aroma. In general, a closed grill allows us to grill in a
much cleaner and more controlled manner than an open grill.
Pujadas charcoal ovens can be used both outdoors and within a kit-
chen, as long as they are installed under a smoke extractor hood and
the safety distances due to the radiation of heat are respected.

2.1. Components of the Pujadas Charcoal Oven
7. Vent regulator: It allows us to control the outlet of smoke at all
timesand,withitsvepositions,allowsustoadjusttheinternal
temperature.
8. Smoke outlet: Extraction tube, 15 cm in diameter, that allows
the smoke created inside to escape and be channelled into the
extraction system.
9. Grill rack: Made from stainless steel rods, it is the component on
which the ingredients are cooked.
10. Hopper grill: Area where the charcoal is placed with a design that
allows the supply of oxygen.

1. Open the upper and
lowervent(ashdrawer)
2. Placetherelighter
blocks in the hopper
grill, bury them between
the coals and light them.
3. Close the oven door and
wait for the charcoal to
light. This process takes
about 35-45 minutes
depending on the amount
of charcoal in the hopper
grill.
4. After 35-45 minutes, open the oven
and check the state of the charcoal.
If it is already alight, move the charcoal
with the poker and spread evenly
over the hopper grill. Otherwise, if it
is not already alight, close the door
and wait for it to light.
5. Once the charcoal is lit, replace
the grill rack. If you wish to, you
can use more than one grill rack
at the same time.
6. Once the desired cooking
temperatureisreached(between
250-350°C),closethelowerair
regulator a little.
7. If you want to smoke the food during cooking, close
the lower and upper vents for a period of time.
Please note that if you keep the lower and upper
ventsclosedforalongperiod,theairowwill
decrease drastically and the oven may lose
temperature.Toregainairow,reopentheairvents.
• To light the oven you should open the door, open the upper
and lower vents completely and remove the grill rack.
• Add the recommended charcoal load or that required for
service, in pyramidal form for easy ignition.
• Add the relighters (preferably of plant origin) to ignite the
charcoal and light them. Leave the door open for about 15
minutes to encourage the rapid entry of oxygen into the
chamber.
• Close the door and let the charcoal ignite. This will take between
30 and 40 minutes, depending on the type and amount of
charcoalandtheorganicrelightersusedforlighting.
4.3 Lighting the oven
• After 30 minutes, you should distribute the embers evenly using the
poker in order to ignite the pieces of charcoal that are not yet lit.
• After 10 minutes the charcoal should be lit and, using the poker, you
should distribute the embers throughout the hopper grill. Ideally
you should leave a space of about 10-15cm free of charcoal at the
end of the hopper grill to promote air circulation. Cooking is not
recommended if the charcoal is not fully alight.
• Place the grill racks in the oven that have been brushed down from
the previous service. Place the grills between the guides on the sides
of the oven chamber. 2 grills can be used at the same time, one
on top of the other. Note the gap between grill racks as well as the
temperaturedierentialduetothedistancebetweenthegrillrack
and the charcoal.
• Close the door and put the vents in the position required for service.
• Control the vents according to the needs of the service you will face.

Position the grill rack depending on
the type of food you wish to cook.
• The closed grill is the combination of grill and a high temperature
oven.
• Any fat/juice from meat that falls on to the charcoal will create
smoke. Unlike an open grill, in a closed grill these fumes do not
escape into the air and the oven chamber becomes a smoker.
In this way we can enhance the intensity of the aromas created
which are transferred to the food cooked on the grill.
Charcoalrellingshouldnotbecarriedoutduringmealservice,
as the fumes resulting from ignition of the charcoal are toxic to
food.
Forproperrellingofthecharcoal,thegrillsshouldberemoved,
the charcoal should remain in the hopper grill stirred with the

poker and the ash from the previous service collected. You should
make sure the ashes are cold if you are discarding them in a
thermoplastic container. You can then add the charcoal required for
the next service. In this operation, if there is any residual charcoal
from the previous service, it can be used again.
• Due to its construction, we can cook faster and, in turn, maintaining
the juiciness of the product.
• The optimum cooking temperature is between 250° and 350°
degrees, depending on the type of food and the result you want to
achieve. This temperature range will allow you to achieve optimal
productivityinyourwork,aswellassavingsinfuel(charcoal).
1. Open the door and
remove the grills.
2. Move the charcoal remains
so that the ashes are
pushed into the ash drawer.
3. Remove the ash drawer
and empty it. If the
ash is hot it must not
be emptied into a
thermoplastic container;
it must be into one
made of metal.
4. Replace the ash drawer
and add the amount of
charcoal needed to continue
the service. Follow the
instructions in section 4.3 to
continue.
