A New Standard in Wood-Fired Cooking

The El Capitan Oven

Designed as a centerpiece as much as a cooking instrument, this modular oven brings true wood-fired performance into a refined, architectural form. Handcrafted with a sculptural copper wrap, it is equally at home built into an outdoor kitchen or paired with its dedicated cart for a freestanding statement.

Customer Reviews

We’ve owned one of the original American Cooking Equipment units for 25 years, using it several times a week—it still looks new and cooks everything to perfection, and I’m convinced it’s going to outlast me.

Joe Carey

I’ve owned my American Cooking Equipment BBQ for over 22 years and it’s still like new and totally reliable; I recommend it without hesitation.

John Gebhard

I’ve owned my American Cooking Equipment BBQ for about 18 years on the Oregon coast, exposed to harsh weather, and it has performed flawlessly while remaining practically like new.
