Technical questions
Everything you need to know about the ARDENTE FORNO A CARBONE
Find answers to frequently asked questions about ARDENT ESTEEM, the professional charcoal oven: operation, temperatures, grill and oven cooking, heat management, charcoal consumption, installation, cleaning, safety, maintenance and rental options.
How does ARDENTE work?
ARDENTE uses natural charcoal as a heat source and does not require electricity to operate.
Combustion generates operating temperatures between 350 and 500 °C, while the air circulation system allows for intervention on the heat management inside the chamber.
The high insulation and the internal cast iron chamber help to retain heat and keep it stable during service.
The result is intense professional cooking, designed to enhance the characteristic flavour of the embers.
Is ARDENTE a grill or an oven?
Both.
ARDENTE combines the features of direct grill cooking and a charcoal oven in a single professional machine.
You can take advantage of the high temperatures to grill meat, fish and vegetables or use the cooking chamber for preparations that require a more enveloping and uniform heat.
Grill oven, therefore, without necessarily having to use two separate appliances.
Is ARDENTE only suitable for meat?
No.
Meat is certainly one of the preparations that benefits most from grilling, but ARDENTE can be used for a much wider range of products.
You can prepare steaks, sirloins, burgers, fish, vegetables, grilled specialties and various baked preparations.
The ability to manage heat and work at high temperatures allows the machine to be adapted to different types of service and to expand the offering of the establishment.
What temperature can ARDENTE reach?
ARDENTE works in an operating range between 350 and 500 °C.
High temperatures allow for rapid and intense cooking, particularly suitable when you want to create a well-grilled surface while maintaining the characteristics of the food.
The heat of the embers also helps give dishes the typical aroma of charcoal cooking.
How is the temperature regulated if the oven runs on coal?
Through the management of combustion and air circulation.
ARDENTE is designed with a system that allows you to control the airflow inside the machine, thus influencing the intensity of the combustion and the cooking temperature.
This allows the operator to manage the heat according to the preparation, exploiting the power of the coal in a more controlled manner than a traditional open grill.
Why is the inner chamber made of 10 mm cast iron?
To achieve robustness and high heat storage and management capacity.
The internal chamber of ARDENTE is made of 10 mm thick cast iron.
The mass of the cast iron helps to retain heat and distribute it during cooking, promoting greater thermal stability even during intense service.
This is a feature specifically designed for professional use.
What is the advantage of high insulation?
Good insulation allows heat to be retained better inside the cooking chamber.
This means less waste, more stable temperatures and more efficient use of the energy produced by burning coal.
As a result, ARDENTE is designed to make the most of the fuel during service and help optimize its consumption.
How much coal does ARDENTE consume?
Actual consumption depends on several factors: working temperature, duration of service, quantity of product to be cooked, frequency of opening the chamber and method of use.
ARDENTE is however designed with high insulation and controlled management of air circulation, features that contribute to limiting dispersion and efficiently exploiting the heat generated by the coal.
The goal is to achieve high performance by using fuel in an optimized way.
What type of coal does ARDENTE use?
ARDENTE is designed to work with natural charcoal.
It is precisely the coal that generates the intense heat and contributes to the characteristic aromatic profile of grilled preparations.
The choice and quality of charcoal can affect combustion, duration, and the aromatic characteristics obtained during cooking.
Does ARDENTE require electricity?
No.
ARDENTE runs exclusively on natural charcoal and does not require an electrical connection to generate the heat needed for cooking.
This eliminates the need to power electric resistors or other heating systems.
A feature that makes the machine very different from traditional electric professional ovens.
Does ARDENTE need a chimney or an extraction system?
ARDENTE uses natural coal and combustion produces fumes that must be managed correctly.
The machine has a chimney with a particular helical structure, designed to help manage emissions, but the installation must be assessed based on the room and connected to a smoke evacuation system compliant with applicable regulations.
Before installation, it is therefore necessary to check the technical and regulatory requirements for the activity and for the place where the oven will be used.
What is the purpose of a helical chimney?
The chimney is an integral part of the system designed to manage fumes and combustion products.
The particular helical configuration helps manage the path of the emissions generated during the use of coal.
The system works together with the chamber configuration and air circulation to make ARDENTE's operation suitable for the needs of a professional kitchen.
Why does charcoal cooking change the flavor of food?
Because during cooking, the charcoal not only generates heat, but also contributes to the development of the characteristic ember aroma.
The high temperatures promote intense cooking of the surface of the food, while the charcoal cooking environment gives the preparations aromatic notes that are difficult to reproduce with a purely electric system.
It is precisely this combination of temperature and aroma that makes grilling particularly popular for meat, fish, vegetables and many other preparations.
How many grills does ARDENTE have?
ARDENTE is equipped with 2 grids, allowing you to organize the work surface according to the different preparations.
The configuration allows you to make effective use of the cooking chamber and manage multiple foods during service.
How much space does ARDENTE take up?
The overall dimensions are:
Width: 622 mm
Depth: 660 mm
Height: 1256 mm
The structure is designed to concentrate both the grill and charcoal oven functions in a single professional machine.
A mobile stand is also available as an optional, useful for organizing the workstation according to the kitchen's needs.
Is ARDENTE safe to use?
ARDENTE is designed for professional use and integrates specific features dedicated to combustion management.
The structure includes an anti-spark and anti-particulate design, as well as dedicated air and emissions management systems.
As with any professional coal-fired equipment, it is essential to follow the operating, cleaning, installation and maintenance procedures provided for the machine.
Is ARDENTE easy to clean?
Regular cleaning is essential in any professional charcoal oven.
ARDENTE is designed to allow for normal cleaning operations required after service, including the management of residues produced by combustion and preparations.
Keeping the grills, cooking chamber, and components exposed to the passage of fumes clean helps maintain the machine's performance and the quality of cooking over time.
For which activities is ARDENTE recommended?
ARDENTE is designed for all businesses that want to transform grilling into a distinctive element of their menu.
It is particularly suitable for grills, steakhouses, restaurants, hotels and resorts, pizzerias, pubs and burger houses, catering and other professional kitchens.
The grill oven combination allows you to use it not only for meat, but for numerous preparations that can benefit from the high temperatures and natural aroma of charcoal.
