GasMax Commercial Tandoor Oven Lpg BSB780LPG

The GasMax BSB780LPG is a commercial tandoor oven running on LPG at 40 MJ/h, built around a traditional clay pot for the intense, even heat that tandoori breads, kebabs and marinated meats need. It has auto ignition and a flame-failure device, high-low flame control and a multi-stage lid. This is the LPG build — its burner injectors are sized for LPG (1.8 mm main, 0.40 mm pilot) and are not interchangeable with a natural gas unit. At 180 kg it is a fixed installation requiring a licensed gasfitter.

Why operators choose the BSB780LPG

• Purpose-built for LPG, not converted — the main burner injector is 1.8 mm and the pilot 0.40 mm, sized for LPG's higher energy density - order the fuel you actually have on site
• 40 MJ/h output — enough sustained heat to hold tandoor temperature through a service rather than recovering between orders
• Traditional clay pot — the clay is what gives a tandoor its character - it stores and radiates heat evenly instead of firing it at one spot
• Auto ignition — no manual lighting of a large gas appliance at the start of service
• Flame-failure device — gas shuts off if the flame goes out, which on a clay-pot appliance is the safety feature that matters most
• High-low flame control with a multi-stage lid — two ways to manage heat - the burner and the lid position - so the chef can hold a temperature rather than just switch between full and off
• Heavy-duty construction at 180 kg — mass is what holds heat in a tandoor, and this is a substantial unit rather than a light one
• Suits LPG-only sites — bottled-gas kitchens, regional venues and function sites with no mains gas connection

Specifications

Venue suitability

The BSB780LPG suits Indian, Pakistani, Afghan and Middle-Eastern restaurants, and function or regional venues on bottled gas with no mains connection. Match the fuel to your site before ordering — the LPG and natural gas versions are separate products with differently sized injectors and cannot be swapped after delivery.

Installation & delivery

This is a gas appliance. It must be installed, connected and commissioned by a licensed gasfitter to the relevant Australian standards — it is not a connect-on-arrival unit. Allow 780 x 780 mm of floor and confirm extraction over a tandoor with your local requirements — a clay-pot oven at 40 MJ/h puts out substantial radiant heat. At 180 kg it is a multi-person move and a fixed position once connected. Note that our product data records a temperature range for this model that is not credible for a tandoor, so no temperature figure is published here — see the FAQ.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Is this the LPG or natural gas version?

LPG. It is a separate product from the natural gas model, with a 1.8 mm main burner injector and 0.40 mm pilot sized specifically for LPG. Injector sizes are not interchangeable, so order the fuel your site actually has and have your gasfitter confirm the connection.

Q: Can I install it myself?

No. This is a gas appliance and must be installed, connected and commissioned by a licensed gasfitter to the relevant Australian standards.

Q: What temperature does it reach?

We are not publishing a figure. Our product data records a range of +30 to +150 degrees C, which is not credible for a tandoor - clay-pot ovens operate far hotter than that, and printing 150 degrees would badly understate the appliance. Contact our team for the real operating temperature.

Q: What gas output does it produce?

40 MJ/h. Your gasfitter will use that figure to confirm the supply and connection size.

Q: What extraction does a tandoor need?

A clay-pot oven at 40 MJ/h radiates significant heat and produces fume. Extraction requirements are set by your local regulations and kitchen design, so confirm them with your fit-out before installation.

Q: What warranty does the BSB780LPG come with?

Covered for 12 months. This model carries a supplier-backed term rather than a stated parts-and-labour split, so contact our team for the exact cover before you order. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
