The gastro wood-fired oven for chefs, professional bakers, caterers and big grillers

This is the largest member of the Merklinger family. It is designed for professional use and boasts a baking and grilling surface of 120 x 70 cm – flexible to be used as a baking surface, grilling surface or half and half as required. Like the 800 and 600 models, the 1200 is mobile and highly robust with its 6mm solid steel body. Easy to handle, it is the ideal outdoor kitchen for catering, events or beer gardens. Guests will be enchanted by both the culinary excellence and entrancing experience the Merklinger offers. 

The 1200 comes as standard with 9 natural clay stones and an extendable grill grate. For passionate grillers, two further grill grates can be purchased. The natural clay stones are pollutant free, 4.5cm thick and produced locally and sustainably. The large clay stones are easy to insert, and grooved on the bottom to evenly and efficiently distribute heat along the surface. This is the underfloor heating principle.

Each Merklinger wood-fired oven is entirely manufactured in Bavaria with exceptional craftsmanship, hand-welded with durable materials from local suppliers, and comes with a 30-yr anti-corrosion guarantee.

More than an outdoor kitchen, Merkinger is a lifestyle. For our more than 7,000 Foodie fans, Merklinger has developed a rich community – our in-house bakers and chefs regularly publish diverse recipes and offer baking seminars, grilling seminars, and great live events. To extend your cooking experiences further, Merklinger has a carefully curated portfolio of products including ceramic dishes and pots, bread baskets, pizza shovels, a cookbook with renowned German Chef Johann Lafer, and much much more!
