The Barbecue Grill Reincarnated
ISLAMORADA, Florida Keys— It is a 5,000-year old method of barbecuing, but new to America — the Hömdoor (pronounced home door).
The Hōmdoor is a residential-sized version of the tandoori oven, a clay pot that is used for vertical barbecuing. Remnants of the first tandoori ovens, excavated in the Indus River Valley between India and Pakistan, have been dated to around 3000 B.C.
The Hōmdoor creates intense heat (700-850 F) that quickly sears food, while keeping it moist, tender and infused with the flavors of the grill and marinades. This is a healthy, low-fat cooking method for meats, poultry, seafood, and the irresistible bread known as “naan,” which is slapped on the wall of the Hōmdoor and completely baked in 90 seconds. It’s also the perfect grill for vegetarians, offering a large variety of ways to easily prepare meatless dishes. The Hōmdoor is available in a charcoal, propane or gas version.
The Hōmdoor’s creator, Ron Levy, is the original American producer of commercial tandoori ovens for restaurants and the most trusted name in tandoor manufacturing in the country. Since 1976, Levy has sold more than 3,000 Tandoori ovens.
“Though most associate the tandoor with Indian food, the Hōmdoor is also uniquely suited to American-style barbecue – steaks, chicken, hot dogs, even corn on the cob,” says Levy. “It’s uncomplicated, fast, tasty, exotic, and with just a little attention, almost foolproof. Plus it’s just plain fun.”
In addition, the mouth-watering traditional recipes of India, such as Machali Masala (grilled salmon steaks marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, herbs and spices), give seasoned masters of the American barbecue grill an entirely new culinary world to explore.

“I have been using Ron Levy's restaurant grade tandoors for catering, fairs and special events. His tandoors cook naan to perfection and tandoori items such as shrimp, vegetables and fish come out of the tandoor moist, succulent and delicious. Recently, I used the Hōmdoor and it cooks with the same perfection as his commercial tandoors. The Hōmdoor is perfect for family meals and social gatherings up to 40 people.”

Another chef had this to say, “Recently, I was asked to try the Hōmdoor. I was a bit skeptical as I have never cooked in a tandoori oven before. I was so impressed with the ease, speed, and flavor of the food, that I decided to add tandoori food to my restaurant.”
-Chef Michael, Kaiyo Restaurant, Islamorada Florida
The Hōmdoor is made in the USA. It is distinguished from other home tandoors on the market because the clay tandoor has been pre-fired to 2,000 degrees F making the clay strong and durable. The clay surface of the Hōmdoor is also more sanitary. The insulation is cast and bonded on to the tandoor which gives the tandoor structural strength. The Hōmdoor is placed inside a stainless steel jacket on 10 inch wheels. The Hōmdoor is available in a charcoal, propane or gas version.
