Mibrasa HMB SB 75 Worktop Charcoal Oven with Heating Rack

The Mibrasa HMB SB 75 is a worktop charcoal oven designed for serious live-fire cooking in commercial kitchens. It burns natural charcoal or wood to generate intense, radiant heat, producing the characteristic char, crust and depth of flavour that grill-focused menus rely on. The SB designation indicates this model includes the integrated heating rack — a raised holding area positioned above the oven chamber that captures residual heat to create a consistent warm zone, typically around 45°C.

In service, the HMB SB 75 is rated for operations handling up to 190 covers. The charcoal fuel source means heat output is high and consistent once the oven is properly loaded and burning, making it well suited to kitchens where grilled and roasted proteins are central to the menu. The heating rack adds genuine operational value during busy service periods — it holds cooked meats to rest without finishing them further, keeps sauces and accompaniments warm, and frees up other equipment for active cooking rather than holding.

Key practical advantages for operators include:

• Integrated heating rack reduces the need for additional holding equipment
• Residual heat zone allows resting and holding without overcooking
• Charcoal combustion delivers flavour profiles that gas and electric alternatives cannot replicate
• Stainless steel construction supports the hygiene and durability demands of a working kitchen
• Worktop format keeps the unit accessible without requiring a floor installation

At 347kg, the HMB SB 75 is a substantial piece of equipment and requires a reinforced worktop or purpose-built support structure capable of bearing that load safely. Ventilation is a critical consideration — charcoal ovens produce smoke and combustion gases and must be installed beneath a correctly specified extraction canopy that meets local building regulations. The unit is 735mm wide and just over 1100mm tall, so access routes and kitchen layout should be assessed before delivery. Charcoal storage and ash disposal arrangements also need to be factored into kitchen planning.

This model is well suited to restaurants, steakhouses, grill kitchens and live-fire concepts where charcoal cooking is a core part of the offering rather than an occasional feature. It handles the demands of a full service operation with confidence at the 190-cover level. For smaller operations with lower throughput requirements, a more compact model may offer a better fit, while larger or multi-site operations may benefit from assessing higher-capacity alternatives in the range.
