Tandoor Master

Tandoor ovens bring a completely different kind of cooking to the garden — clay-fired, charcoal-fuelled and capable of temperatures that no conventional outdoor oven reaches. The Tandoor Master range covers three models from the all-rounder Charcoal Tandoor 18 up to the premium Rajput, each authentic clay tandoor oven made in India and built for outdoor cooking all year round.

A tandoor BBQ oven does what no other outdoor cooker can.

A tandoor reaches temperatures of 480°C or more — far beyond what a conventional charcoal BBQ, pizza oven or kamado grill achieves. That extreme heat is what produces the signature char, moisture and flavour of restaurant-quality naan, tandoori chicken, seekh kebabs and tikka in 60-90 seconds rather than the 20-30 minutes a conventional oven needs. At home, that means the difference between cooking something that tastes close to a restaurant and cooking something that tastes exactly like it — because you're using the same method, the same clay construction, the same charcoal heat.

Three models. One authentic clay construction.

The Charcoal Tandoor 18 is the all-rounder — 18" diameter, 55kg, and suited to garden parties and family cooking sessions where you want to cook 4-6 naan or skewers at once. Step up to the Charcoal Tandoor 22 for a larger cooking area that suits professional caterers or larger groups, cooking up to 8 naan or 12 skewers simultaneously. The Rajput Tandoor is the premium model in the range — double steel body with double insulation for better heat retention, copper chrome stainless steel finish, and the most comprehensive accessory set of any model in the range.

More than naan — a versatile outdoor BBQ oven.

Every tandoor in this range doubles as an outdoor BBQ oven with an optional BBQ grill tray — so you can grill steaks, burgers, sausages and vegetables using the same intense clay-fired heat. That's what makes a tandoor a versatile addition to an outdoor kitchen rather than a single-purpose appliance used only for Indian cooking. Pair your tandoor with our pizza oven accessories for additional cooking tools, or browse the full Tandoor Master accessories range for skewers, grill trays and naan gaddis.

Built in India. Authentic clay construction.

Every Tandoor Master oven uses authentic clay construction, made in India to the same specification as traditional commercial tandoors used in restaurants. The clay retains and radiates heat in a way that steel or ceramic cannot replicate — which is why the flavour and char from a clay tandoor is unlike anything you'll get from any other method of outdoor cooking.

Tandoor Oven FAQ

How much can I save by cooking Indian food at home with a tandoor?

An Indian takeaway for two costs £25–£35 every time you order, including delivery fees. Cook the same tandoori chicken, naan and seekh kebabs at home and the ingredients cost a fraction of that. If you order Indian once a week, you could save over £1,000 a year by cooking at home in a clay tandoor instead.

What temperature does a tandoor oven reach?

A clay tandoor oven reaches temperatures of up to 480°C — far higher than a conventional charcoal BBQ, pizza oven or garden grill. That extreme heat is what produces the char, moisture and flavour of restaurant-quality tandoori food, cooking naan bread and seekh kebabs in minutes rather than the 20-30 minutes a conventional oven needs.

Does a clay tandoor oven need any special maintenance?

Clay tandoor ovens are low maintenance. Keep the oven dry when not in use, remove ash regularly using the sliding air vent, and season the clay interior occasionally with a light coating of oil to keep it in good condition. Avoid sudden temperature changes — always heat gradually from cold to prevent cracking.

Which Tandoor Master model is right for me?

The Charcoal Tandoor 18 suits families and garden parties — it cooks 4-6 naan or skewers at once and is the all-rounder in the range. The Charcoal Tandoor 22 is built for larger groups and light catering, cooking 8 naan or 12 skewers simultaneously. The Rajput Tandoor is the premium model with double steel insulation, copper chrome finish and the most comprehensive accessory set — also available as a 2-in-1 charcoal and gas model.

Is a tandoor oven difficult to use?

No — a clay tandoor is straightforward once you've used it a couple of times. Every Tandoor Master oven comes with a full instruction manual, and the sliding air vent gives you simple temperature control throughout the cook. The main difference from a conventional BBQ is learning to use skewers and the naan gaddi for cooking flatbreads on the inner wall.

What can I cook in a tandoor oven?

A tandoor is far more versatile than most people expect. Naan bread, tandoori chicken, seekh kebabs, tikka and roti are the classics — but with the optional BBQ grill tray, you can also cook steaks, sausages, burgers and vegetables using the same intense clay-fired heat. One oven handles both traditional tandoori cooking and a conventional charcoal BBQ.

What fuel does a Tandoor Master oven use?

All three models in the Tandoor Master range run on charcoal or wood as standard. The Rajput Tandoor is also available as a 2-in-1 model with a removable gas kit included, letting you switch between gas and charcoal depending on the occasion.

How long does a tandoor oven take to heat up?

A Tandoor Master clay tandoor oven typically reaches cooking temperature in 20-30 minutes from lighting. Once at temperature it holds heat efficiently for an extended cooking session, so you're not constantly managing the fire throughout.
