What is a gas tandoor? A gas tandoor is a clay tandoor that is heated by a gas burner instead of charcoal. The burner sits at the bottom of the tandoor and heats the clay wall, where you bake naan and roti, while tikka and kebab cook on skewers. You light it, set the flame and cook, with no coal to light and no ash to clear.

Looking for another fuel? See our restaurant tandoors (charcoal, gas or hybrid) or the electric tandoor.

Why Choose a Gas Tandoor

Forno Sethi gas tandoor with single gas burner, clay chamber and double body Real Clay Tandoor Heat – The cooking chamber is clay, so naan sticks and blisters on the wall and tikka chars the way a tandoor should.

Quick to Start – Light the burner and the tandoor heats up quickly, with no charcoal to light and wait for.

Easy Heat Control – Turn the flame up for a rush and down for slow hours. The temperature is steady through service.

Cleaner Kitchen – No ash, no coal storage and much less smoke than a charcoal tandoor.

LPG or PNG – Run it on a cylinder or on piped natural gas. The burner nozzle is set for the gas you choose.

Glass Wool Insulation – We insulate with glass wool between the clay drum and the outer body, instead of the traditional sand and clay fill. In our own comparison this saves up to about 30% fuel, and it keeps the outside of the tandoor cooler.

Any Size, MS, SS or Copper – Choose the size and the outer body that suits your kitchen. A gas burner can be fitted on any of our tandoor sizes.

How a Gas Tandoor Works Burner, Clay Chamber, Regulator

Short answer: A gas pipe feeds a single burner at the bottom of the tandoor. An MS baffle plate above the burner spreads the heat evenly on the clay walls. The flame heats the clay chamber, the clay holds and spreads the heat, and you cook on the hot clay wall and on skewers. A regulator keeps the gas pressure steady.

Burner and baffle plate

A single burner sits under the clay chamber. An MS baffle plate above the burner spreads the gas heat evenly on the clay walls. The burner size and flame setting decide how fast it heats and how much gas it uses.

Clay chamber

The clay drum holds the heat and gives the all-round tandoor heat that cooks naan on the wall and tikka on skewers.

Regulator and pipe

The regulator controls the gas pressure and the pipe carries gas from the cylinder or PNG line to the burner.

LPG or PNG Gas Tandoor

Short answer: Our gas tandoor runs on both LPG and PNG. The burner nozzle is different for each gas, so please tell us which gas you will use before you order. We fit the right nozzle.

What it isLiquefied petroleum gas, from a cylinderPiped natural gas, from a city gas line
SupplyCylinder (and regulator) in or near the kitchenPipeline connection through your gas provider
Burner nozzleLPG nozzlePNG nozzle (different from LPG)
Best forAnywhere, including places without piped gasCities and buildings that already have a PNG line

Please confirm your gas first. A nozzle made for one gas should not be used on the other. Tell us LPG or PNG when you ask for a quote, so the tandoor reaches you set up for your gas.

Gas Version of Any Forno Sethi Tandoor Burner Fitted, Pipe Adjusted to Suit

Short answer: You can order a gas version of any Forno Sethi tandoor. We fit a single gas burner and set the gas pipe to suit the tandoor, so one tandoor can be a charcoal tandoor or a gas tandoor.

Not every kitchen wants the same fuel. Tell us the commercial tandoor you like, such as a square or round restaurant tandoor, and say you want gas. We fit the burner and adjust the pipe so it sits correctly, and we set the nozzle for LPG or PNG. If you want to use charcoal sometimes as well, ask about our hybrid option.

  • Square tandoor
  • Round tandoor
  • Custom size
  • MS, SS or copper

See the full size list on our restaurant tandoor page.

Gas vs Charcoal vs Hybrid vs Electric Tandoor

Short answer: Choose gas for quick start and easy control, charcoal for smoky flavour, hybrid if you want both in one tandoor, and electric where gas and charcoal are not allowed.

How Much Gas Does a Gas Tandoor Use? It Depends on the Burner and the Flame

Short answer: The gas use depends on the size of the burner and how high you keep the flame. A bigger burner on a high flame uses more gas, and a smaller flame uses less. We do not quote one fixed figure because it changes with your tandoor size and your cooking.

Simple ways to use less gas

  • Choose the right size. A tandoor that is too big for your menu needs more gas to stay hot.
  • Choose glass wool insulation. It keeps heat in the chamber so the burner works less. In our own comparison against the traditional sand and clay fill, it saves up to about 30% fuel.
  • Cure the tandoor properly. A well cured clay chamber holds heat better. See the curing guide.
  • Keep the lid on between batches. Less heat escapes.
  • Turn the flame down when it is not needed. Between rushes, hold the tandoor at a lower flame.

Installation and Safe Use

Easy to set up – There is little to install. Place the tandoor, connect the gas and cure it before you start cooking.

Cure it properly first – Heat the new clay tandoor slowly, in stages, before regular cooking. This is the most important step. See the curing guide.

Confirm LPG or PNG first – The nozzle is different for each gas, so confirm your gas before you order.

Ventilation – Use the tandoor where there is good ventilation, and plan a hood or exhaust in a closed kitchen, because the tandoor makes a lot of heat.

Gas connection – Have the pipe and regulator fitted and checked for leaks by a qualified gas fitter, and keep the cylinder in a safe place away from the heat.

Keep clear of flammables – Keep cloth, paper and oil away from the tandoor mouth and the burner area.

Where Gas Tandoors Are Used Restaurants, Hotels, Dhabas, Cloud Kitchens and Caterers

Short answer: Gas tandoors suit any kitchen that wants tandoor cooking with quick start-up and easy control, from a small cafe to a hotel kitchen or a catering setup.

  • Restaurants
  • Hotels
  • Dhabas
  • Cloud kitchens
  • Cafes
  • Caterers
  • Banquets
  • Food stalls

You can cook naan, tandoori roti, kulcha, chicken tikka, paneer tikka, seekh kebab and other skewer items. For high volume service, see our banquet and catering tandoors.

FAQs – Gas Tandoor by Forno Sethi

A gas tandoor is a clay tandoor heated by a gas burner instead of charcoal. The burner at the bottom heats the clay chamber, so you bake naan and roti on the wall and cook tikka and kebab on skewers, with easy flame control and no ash to clear.

Forno Sethi is a tandoor manufacturer based in Burari, Delhi, making tandoors since 1987. We build commercial gas tandoors in our own factory and supply restaurants, hotels, dhabas, cloud kitchens and caterers across India and abroad.

Both. The burner nozzle is different for LPG and PNG, so please tell us which gas you will use before you order and we fit the right nozzle.

The two gases burn differently, so each needs its own nozzle. A nozzle made for one gas should not be used on the other. Confirm your gas first when you ask for a quote.

Yes. We can fit a single gas burner on any of our commercial tandoor sizes, square or round, in MS, SS or copper, and adjust the gas pipe to suit the tandoor.

One. The gas tandoor has a single burner under the clay chamber. Its size and your flame setting decide how fast the tandoor heats.

It depends on the size of the burner and how high you keep the flame, so we do not quote one fixed figure. A well cured tandoor with double body insulation and the lid kept on between batches uses less gas.

A gas tandoor heats up quickly once the burner is lit, much faster than lighting and waiting for charcoal. Share your tandoor size and we can tell you the usual heat-up time.

Our clay tandoors reach up to about 400 degrees Celsius. Around 300 degrees Celsius is enough for regular tandoori cooking.

Yes, a gas regulator is used to keep the gas pressure steady. Ask us on WhatsApp what comes with your order.

There is little to install. Place the tandoor, have a qualified gas fitter connect and leak-check the gas pipe and regulator, and cure the tandoor before you start cooking. Use it where there is good ventilation and plan a hood or exhaust in a closed kitchen.

Yes. Heat the new clay tandoor slowly, in stages, before regular cooking, so the clay settles without cracking. Curing is the most important step.

Yes, with good ventilation, a leak-checked gas connection, the cylinder kept in a safe place away from heat, and flammable items kept away from the tandoor mouth and burner.

Gas starts quickly, is easy to control and leaves no ash. Charcoal gives the smoky flavour. A hybrid tandoor runs on both. Choose by your menu, your kitchen rules and your running cost.

We make gas tandoors in 28, 30, 32, 34 and 36 inch sizes (outer diameter). The 28 inch is 32 inches tall with a 13.5 inch mouth, the 30 inch is 37 inches tall with a 14 inch mouth, the 32 inch has a 15 inch mouth, the 34 inch a 16 inch mouth and the 36 inch a 17 inch mouth, all 37 inches tall. We can also fit a burner on our other sizes, and custom sizes are possible.

The MS baffle plate sits above the gas burner and spreads the gas heat evenly on the clay walls, so naan and tikka cook evenly instead of the flame hitting one spot.

We insulate with glass wool instead of the traditional sand and clay fill. In our own comparison it saves up to about 30% fuel. The actual saving depends on the tandoor size, the burner and how you cook.

SS (stainless steel) lasts longer, wipes clean and resists rust better, which suits busy and humid kitchens. MS (mild steel) costs less upfront but needs more care. Copper has a hand-hammered look for live kitchens and buffet counters. The clay chamber is the same in all.

The price depends on the size, shape, material, burner and your delivery city, so we do not list one fixed price. Send your requirement on WhatsApp and we send an exact quote, including packing and transport.

Every Forno Sethi tandoor comes with a 6 month warranty. Clay repair and spare parts are available.
