ARDENTE uses natural wood charcoal as its heat source and requires no electricity to operate.

Combustion generates operating temperatures between 350 and 500 °C, while the air circulation system lets you control heat inside the chamber.

The high-performance insulation and cast-iron cooking chamber help retain heat and keep it stable during service.

The result is intense, professional cooking that brings out the distinctive flavour of wood-fired cooking.

Both.

ARDENTE combines direct grilling and charcoal oven cooking in a single professional machine.

Use the high temperatures to grill meat, fish and vegetables, or use the cooking chamber for dishes that need gentler, more even heat.

A grill and an oven, without the need for two separate pieces of equipment.

No.

Meat is certainly one of the foods that benefits most from charcoal grilling, but ARDENTE can be used to cook a much wider range of products.

You can cook steaks, sirloin steaks, burgers, fish, vegetables, grilled specialties and a variety of oven-baked dishes.

The ability to control heat and work at high temperatures allows the machine to suit different service styles and expand your venue's offering.

ARDENTE operates within a temperature range of 350 to 500 °C.

High temperatures deliver fast, intense cooking, ideal for achieving a well-seared surface while preserving the food’s characteristics.

The charcoal heat also gives dishes the distinctive aroma of charcoal cooking.

By managing combustion and airflow.

ARDENTE is designed with a system that lets you control the airflow inside the machine, thereby adjusting combustion intensity and cooking temperature.

This allows the operator to adjust the heat to suit the preparation, making more controlled use of the power of charcoal than with a traditional open fire.

To ensure durability and a high capacity for heat retention and management.

ARDENTE's interior chamber is made of 10 mm-thick cast iron.

The cast iron mass helps retain and distribute heat during cooking, providing greater temperature stability even during busy service.

This feature is specifically designed for professional use.

Good insulation helps retain more heat inside the cooking chamber.

This means less heat loss, more stable temperatures and more efficient use of the energy produced by burning charcoal.

As a result, ARDENTE is designed to make the most of its fuel during service and help optimize consumption.

Actual energy consumption depends on several factors: operating temperature, service duration, the quantity of food being cooked, how often the chamber is opened and how the oven is used.

ARDENTE is also designed with high-grade insulation and carefully controlled airflow, helping to reduce heat loss and make efficient use of the heat generated by the charcoal.

The aim is to deliver high performance while using fuel efficiently.

ARDENTE is designed to run on natural lump charcoal.

It is the charcoal itself that generates the intense heat and gives food cooked over embers its characteristic smoky flavour.

The choice and quality of the charcoal can affect combustion, cooking time and the aromas developed during cooking.

No.

ARDENTE runs exclusively on natural wood charcoal and does not need to be connected to the power supply to generate the heat required for cooking.

This eliminates the need to power electric heating elements or other heating systems.

A feature that sets this machine apart from conventional professional electric ovens.

ARDENTE uses natural charcoal, and the combustion produces smoke that must be properly managed.

The machine features a specially designed helical flue to help manage emissions. However, installation must be assessed according to the premises and connected to a fume extraction system that complies with applicable regulations.

Before installation, you should therefore check the technical and regulatory requirements for your business and the location where the oven will be used.

The chimney is an integral part of the system designed to manage smoke and combustion byproducts.

Its unique helical design helps manage the path of emissions generated while using charcoal.

The system works in combination with the chamber configuration and airflow to make ARDENTE suitable for the demands of a professional kitchen.

During cooking, charcoal does more than generate heat—it also helps develop the distinctive aroma of barbecue.

High temperatures sear the surface of food, while the charcoal cooking environment gives dishes distinctive smoky notes that are difficult to reproduce with an all-electric system.

This combination of temperature and aroma is what makes charcoal grilling so popular for meat, fish, vegetables and many other dishes.

ARDENTE comes with 2 racks, allowing you to arrange the cooking area to suit different dishes.

This configuration makes efficient use of the cooking chamber and lets you cook more foods during service.

Overall dimensions:

Width: 622 mm

Depth: 660 mm

Height: 1256 mm

The design combines both a grill and a charcoal oven in one professional appliance.

A mobile stand is also available as an optional extra, helping you configure your workstation to suit your kitchen’s needs.

ARDENTE is designed for professional use and incorporates features specifically developed for managing combustion.

The design incorporates spark-resistant and particulate-resistant features, as well as dedicated systems for managing air and emissions.

As with any professional charcoal-fired equipment, it is essential to follow the machine’s operating, cleaning, installation and maintenance procedures.

Regular cleaning is essential for any professional charcoal oven.

ARDENTE is designed to allow for routine cleaning after service, including the removal of residue from combustion and cooking.

Keeping the racks, cooking chamber and components exposed to flue gases clean helps preserve the machine’s performance and cooking quality over time.

ARDENTE is designed for any business looking to make charcoal grilling a distinctive feature of its menu.

Ideal for grill restaurants, steakhouses, restaurants, hotels and resorts, pizzerias, pubs and burger joints, catering businesses and other professional kitchens.

The grill + oven combination makes it suitable for more than just meat: it can be used for a wide range of dishes that benefit from high temperatures and the natural aroma of charcoal.

Yes.
