Key benefits
Why choosing the INFERNO 700?
Using restaurant grade charcoal delivers the best combination of temperature performance and smoky flavor.
Charcoal (Base Heat):
Burn restaurant-grade lump charcoal or briquettes to build a reliable, long-lasting ember bed. Charcoal maintains the steady baseline heat required to hold temperatures near 250° - 350°C throughout service while keeping fuel consumption within the 5-6kg daily average.
Maximum Output, Minimal Overhead
- Cut Fuel Costs by Up to 90%: Drastically lower operating expenses compared to standard commercial gas grills.
- 60% Faster Service Times: High thermal retention cooks orders significantly faster, keeping kitchen turnover high.
- 30% More Fuel-Efficient: Fully insulated chamber uses up to 30% less solid fuel than competing charcoal ovens.
