What our passionate customers and professionals say

100% recommendation. With the Merklinger, everyone becomes a star chef. Perfect for the family. It's just fun and pizza, bread and grilled food tastes great. I had a Häussler, which was okay, but the Merklinger is in a different league

What a great service and great quality. Anyone looking for the best quality at a fair price will find the wood-fired oven of their dreams here. Man, barbecuing is great in itself, but this makes it a highlight for all your relatives and friends. Tears of joy can roll down your face...

THE MERKLINGER, the best on the market, a dream to use. The results are really convincing - you should definitely go to the demonstrations and see for yourself. For me, it was a Christmas present from my wife, who doesn't compromise in this area either 😉 and knows what's good. Markus and his team are to be highly praised. Really everything TOP."

One of the few barbecue manufacturers that can write 100% Made in Germany, or even Made in Bavaria, on their high-quality all-round barbecues. And best of all: barbecues with a real wood fire. Super cool!

I used the Merklinger for my last catering event (120 guests). This oven is not only a real eye-catcher visually, but also fulfills its tasks, in this case grilling, 100%. When you open the steel door with the wooden handle, you feel like a real man. Top workmanship with high-quality products. I am thrilled.

The Merklinger is one of the best wood-fired ovens I know. Excellent taste, great design and a top service team with expert advice. Quality made in Bavaria!!!

"Unimaginable! The heat, the coloring, the crusts, the oven drift - simply amazing! Baking in the Merklinger fascinates me because it's so unique. It's perfect for families. Uncomplicated, simple and compact, so that everyone can use it. I use it not only for events and as a highlight for my bread baking courses, but also at home for cooking, baking and barbecuing with my family."

"The Merklinger is a lot of fun. There's nothing you can't prepare: Long jobs, steaks, beef brisket, sausages, pizza, bread and more - everything is possible. Direct, indirect, slow cooking or preparing food at a high temperature in a short time. I love the ease of use and the great temperature control. As a former table cook, I am of course particularly impressed by the high-quality materials, the great workmanship and the well thought-out details - and all of this is made in Germany. The Merklinger is exactly what you need for your family!"

"Anyone who likes to play with fire is in the right place with the Merklinger. A German product that is absolutely convincing both in terms of its feel and its look and that simply has to be fun to grill and bake with. You have so many options thanks to the different set-up variants that there's probably nothing you can't prepare on the Merklinger."

"The Merklinger mainly impressed me with its flexibility. I sometimes cook and grill on the firebricks, sometimes on the grill grate. I use the final embers for smoking or flavoring. That's what makes it so unique. It also reaches operating temperature very quickly, is "Made in Germany", has a great look and show character. It's always something special for my guests"

"The Merklinger mainly impressed me with its versatility. Whether as a pizza/bread oven, grill rack for direct grilling, the indirect area for long jobs such as beef brisket or pulled pork. The look is beautiful and an eye-catcher in any garden. The handling is very intuitive and the play of flames from the wood in the combustion chamber is also beautiful to watch."
