The warming oven, as it should be

Unlock the functions that your kitchen is missing, without compromising your space

The HETR-4 totally rethinks a warming oven. Its groundbreaking design creates the same precision temperature range in the cooler you already own. Don’t hotwire your oven, don’t crowd your kitchen, don’t limit your cooking.

ZONE 01
70–80°F

Proofing

Results in baking are determined by attention to detail. The pros don’t allow for variability, you shouldn’t either.

ZONE 02
75–100°F

Fermenting

Fermentation can be fickle, remove chance from the equation.

ZONE 03
100–150°F

Dehydrating

Preserve ingredients for storage, concentrate flavors for an experimental dish, and eliminate another piece of equipment from your kitchen.

ZONE 04
140–150°F

Hot Holding

Whether you’re a caterer serving in the field or a backyard pitmaster resting brisket overnight, don’t risk cold food. Or, explore the new field of vegetable blackening, starting with garlic.

Capability

Pro-grade environmental control

±0.5°F anywhere from 70°F to 150°F, a configurable moisture pan, and 30 CFM of managed air flow. Once you set your target, the HETR-4 maintains your conditions indefinitely.

Storability

Lives in a drawer or cabinet between projects

No permanent footprint required. The HETR-4 is designed to fit common household storage. When a project’s done the whole system goes in a drawer and your cooler goes back to hauling ice.

Adaptability

Configurable to fit your needs

The HETR-4 is designed to be compatible with many coolers. We’ve also built an entire ecosystem of accessories and add-ons so you can optimize it for how you use it.

FAQs
Which cooler do you recommend?
The HETR-4 is designed to work in most coolers, so if you have one already you should . If you don’t have a cooler, we like a well insulated 45qt cooler like a Yeti or RTIC UT. This class of cooler offers an excellent balance of space, performance, and value.
Will it work in a Cambro or cabinet instead of a cooler?
Often, yes. Performance comes down to four things: your target temperature, the ambient temperature, the size of the space, and how well it’s insulated. If you’re aiming for the high end, like for hot holding a brisket, it’s important to preheat the system and move the meat directly from the pit to the cooler without letting it cool in between. You may also need to drill an access hole for the tether.
Does it control humidity automatically?
Temperature is automatic; humidity is not. The HETR-4 monitors humidity and you manage it with the configurable moisture pan.
How much can it hold?
That depends on your cooler, not the machine. In a 45qt you can stack roughly three briskets for hot holding.
Do you ship internationally?
Not right now, but we are working on it and will be very soon. To be notified as soon as shipping opens in your country, email marshall@tablesmith.us specifying the country you live in. This helps us know which countries we should be working on.
