KLS-CHO-65 Charcoal Oven and Smoker

Two Chambers · Independent or Combined Operation · AISI 304 Stainless Steel

The KOLOS KLS-CHO-65 pairs two charcoal chambers in one unit: a lower firebox and an upper smoking chamber, connected by a set of dampers that decide how heat and smoke move between them.

The lower chamber burns charcoal and produces heat and smoke. That heat can stay in the lower chamber and vent straight outside, running it as an independent charcoal oven, or it can pass up into the chamber above to smoke whatever’s hanging or resting there. Three dampers control that path: one between the chambers routes smoke upward into the smoking chamber, a second between the chambers vents the lower chamber straight outside without touching the upper one, and a third at the top releases smoke from the upper chamber once it’s done its job. Open or close them in different combinations, and the
KLS-CHO-65 switches between running as two separate ovens or as one connected smoker.

The upper chamber works two ways: as a smoking chamber, using heat and smoke drawn up from the fire below, or as its own independent charcoal oven when the connecting damper stays closed. A rod with hooks inside lets food hang directly in the smoke, alongside two grate positions for anything cooked flat.

Both chambers share the same core setup: a perforated base for the charcoal bed, a removable ash drawer, an air intake damper for draft control, and rails for two grates each. Two built-in thermometers let the cook read both chambers without opening either door.

Ideal for: Professional kitchens running both oven and smoker service · Restaurants building a smoking program without a second appliance · Continuous high-volume charcoal cooking

Design & Service Features

Dual-Chamber Design
A lower firebox chamber and an upper smoking chamber stack in one cabinet, each usable on its own or together, depending on how the connecting dampers are set.

Three-Point Damper System
Two dampers sit between the chambers: one routes heat and smoke upward, the other vents the lower chamber straight outside. A third damper at the top releases smoke from the upper chamber. Together they let the cook run either chamber independently or connect them into a single smoking system.

Independent Draft Regulators
Each chamber has its own air intake regulator, so combustion in the lower firebox and airflow through the upper chamber adjust separately.

Smoking Rod with Hooks
A rod inside the upper chamber holds hooks for hanging food directly in rising smoke, for a full hot-smoking setup without extra equipment.

Removable Grates, Two Per Chamber
Rails inside each chamber hold two grates apiece, for flat cooking or resting food alongside anything hanging from the smoking rod.

Perforated Charcoal Base & Ash Drawers
Each chamber has its own perforated base for the coal bed and its own removable ash drawer, so clearing ash from one chamber doesn’t disturb the other.

Dual Thermometers
Built-in thermometers on both chambers let the cook track temperature without opening either door and losing heat.

Full AISI 304 Stainless Steel Construction
Body, chambers, grates, and doors are all food-grade AISI 304, built to hold up to 350°C and daily use across both the oven and smoker functions.
