Know before you buy
No, this oven is strictly for outdoor use or in areas with excellent ventilation. Because it uses charcoal, it produces carbon monoxide, which is dangerous in enclosed spaces.
Hardwood charcoal or high-quality binchotan is recommended. These types burn cleanly and provide the steady, consistent heat required for boiling water without imparting unwanted flavors to your tea.
The oven is crafted from durable, heat-resistant clay specifically designed for this purpose. However, like all traditional clayware, it should be heated gradually to avoid thermal shock.
You can regulate the heat by adjusting the air intake through the sealable lower chamber. Opening the vent increases airflow to raise the temperature, while closing it will dampen the charcoal.
The surface diameter is 12 cm. It is best suited for small to medium-sized traditional tea kettles that fit securely within that footprint to ensure stability and efficient heat transfer.
