Universal Crossbar for Tandoor, except Donskoy/Nomad

The universal crossbar for tandoor is a basic accessory for using hooks, grates and hanging holders inside the tandoor. It is placed across the mouth of the tandoor and provides a support point for accessories that need to be suspended during cooking.

The product is compatible with Amfora models, except Donskoy/Nomad. Compatibility is important because the crossbar must sit securely on the tandoor and properly support the accessories being used. The Amforacook product page describes this type of crossbar as suitable for all models except Don and Nomad.

Compared with improvised solutions, the crossbar makes the use of hanging accessories more practical and organized. It can be used together with a meat hook, fish grill, pine-tree style rack, skewers or other compatible hanging accessories.

🔥 Why a tandoor crossbar is useful

In a tandoor, many dishes cook best while suspended inside the cooking chamber. Heat comes from the heated walls and surrounds the product, so hanging accessories need a stable support point.

The crossbar helps to:

✔ support hanging accessories;
✔ use meat hooks;
✔ position grates and holders inside the tandoor;
✔ make vertical cooking more convenient;
✔ use the inner space more efficiently;
✔ organize the cooking process more safely.

It is a simple but important accessory for those who use the tandoor not only with standard skewers, but also with hooks, racks and special grates.

🥩 Suitable for meat, fish and hanging accessories

The crossbar can be used as support for several types of tandoor accessories. It is useful when you want to cook hanging meat, fish in a special grill, poultry, lamb leg or dishes that need to stay vertical inside the tandoor.

It can be used with:

✔ meat hook;
✔ lamb leg hook;
✔ fish grill;
✔ skewer holder;
✔ pine-tree style rack;
✔ other compatible hanging accessories.

For good results, accessories must be mounted securely, and the weight of the food should match the tandoor size and support system.

Well-dried wood provides more stable temperature, cleaner burning and less smoke.

Do not use chipboard, MDF, painted, lacquered, impregnated or chemically treated wood.

👨‍🍳 CasaGrill recommendations

Check tandoor compatibility before use. The crossbar is intended for Amfora models, except Donskoy/Nomad.

Place the crossbar securely across the mouth of the tandoor before hanging accessories.

Use only hooks, grates and holders compatible with the crossbar and the tandoor size.

Do not overload the crossbar with products that are too heavy. Weight must match the accessory, dish and tandoor model.

For large meat cuts, make sure the product does not touch the coals or inner walls.

After use, let the crossbar cool down, clean it if necessary and store it in a dry place.
