What is an MS drum tandoor? An MS drum tandoor is a round, drum-shaped tandoor with a mild steel outer body and a clay tandoor chamber inside. It is the most affordable commercial tandoor, popular with caterers, dhabas and bulk buyers. It is sold by drum size, such as 150 litre or 200 litre. If you want a longer-lasting, more presentable body, choose an SS tandoor instead.

Want a longer-lasting steel body? See our SS square tandoor or SS round catering tandoor. For a square MS body, see the MS square tandoor.

MS Drum or SS Tandoor? Choose by Budget and How Long You Need It to Last

Short answer: Choose the MS drum if the lowest upfront cost matters most, you buy several tandoors, or the tandoor will work in a dhaba or event kitchen. Choose an SS tandoor if you want a body that lasts longer, wipes clean and looks better in a restaurant or catering set-up. The clay chamber inside is the same.

Gas Version of the MS Drum Tandoor Burner Kit and Baffle Plate

Short answer: Every tandoor is made with gas fitting in mind. To run the drum on gas, a burner kit and a baffle plate are added, and the nozzle is chosen for LPG or PNG. Tell us which gas you use before you order.

  • Charcoal
  • Gas (LPG)
  • Gas (PNG)
  • Hybrid

The baffle plate sits above the burner and spreads the heat evenly over the clay wall. More on the gas tandoor. If you cook on charcoal, plan good ventilation, since charcoal makes carbon monoxide.

Skewers and Accessories

Short answer: Skewers, naan jodi and cushion are supplied separately. Skewers come in different thicknesses, so tell us your menu and we suggest the right ones.

MenuSkewer type
Paneer, soya chaap, veg tikkaThin skewer
Chicken tikka and chicken kebabMedium thickness skewer
Mutton and seekh kebabThicker, stronger skewer, because mutton is heavier and harder

Caring for an MS Drum Tandoor Keep It Dry, Cure the Clay

Short answer: Mild steel can rust if it stays wet, so keep the drum dry and covered when not in use. Cure the clay chamber slowly before first use, and let it cool naturally every time.

Keep it dry

Store the tandoor in a dry place or under a cover, away from rain and damp, especially after events.

Cure first

Heat the new clay slowly in stages before first use. See the curing guide.

Cool naturally

Never pour water into a hot tandoor. Let it cool by itself.
