Who it suits

For restaurants and grill bars serving up to around 80 covers where charcoal cooking is the draw but floor space is tight. At 650 mm wide it fits a cooking line where the larger model would not. It needs dedicated solid-fuel extraction.

Common questions

How do I choose between Josper sizes?
By covers, not by grill area alone. Josper rates its ovens by diners served: the HJX-25 is recommended for around 80 and the HJX-45 for around 120. Both hold a 2 x GN 1/1 grill rack and broil at 250–350°C. The larger model sustains a busier service. Every Josper needs solid-fuel extraction.

How does it differ from the HJX-45?
It serves around 80 diners rather than 120, is 250 mm narrower and 74 kg lighter.

Does the enclosed design use less charcoal?
Yes. Closing the oven holds the heat, using less charcoal than an open grill for the same output.

What extraction is required?
Extraction rated for solid-fuel smoke. Confirm local requirements.

What charcoal suits it?
Dense restaurant-grade lump charcoal for high, steady heat.
