Expert Review and  Insights

It’s the small, considered details that separate a good kitchen from a great one. This Josper Iroko wood support is a perfect example. It's not flashy, but its performance in protecting expensive countertops from extreme heat is brilliant. The choice of Iroko wood is spot-on for durability and  heat resistance, making it a truly functional, professional-grade accessory.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pros: The Iroko wood is fantastic at insulating, preventing any heat transfer to surfaces.
  • Cons: As a natural material, it requires wiping down and  can't be soaked or dishwashed.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Forge Steakhouse in Hereford recently invested in a new stainless steel prep station right next to their beloved Josper oven. They quickly realised they needed a reliable way to place searingly hot pans down without causing damage or scratches, so they ordered this genuine Josper Iroko wood support block.

"It’s a simple bit of kit, but it’s saved our brand new counters. The quality is obvious from the moment you pick it up. It’s solid, stable, and  does exactly what it's supposed to do – it takes the heat so our worktops don’t have to. It’s given us complete peace of mind."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The result? A complete elimination of burn marks and  heat stress on their new work surfaces, preserving their investment and  improving kitchen safety.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Place on a flat, stable, and  level surface near your oven for easy access.
  • Ensure the area is clean and  free from grease or debris before first use.
  • There's no assembly required – it's ready to go straight out of the box.
  • Always check it’s the right size for the pans you intend to use it with.

Keeping It Going

  • To clean, simply wipe with a damp cloth and  mild detergent. Never soak it in water or put it in a dishwasher.
  • Dry it thoroughly with a clean cloth immediately after wiping it down.
  • To maintain the wood's condition, you can occasionally rub it with a food-safe mineral oil.
  • Regularly check for any deep cracks or splits, and  replace if it becomes compromised.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Josper Accessories

Need a hand picking the perfect accessories for your setup? Here are a few pointers to make sure you get the right gear for your kitchen.

Go for Genuine Parts

Always opt for official manufacturer parts like this Josper Iroko wood support block. They are designed to fit perfectly and  perform to the high standards of the primary equipment, ensuring safety and  longevity.

Check Your Dimensions

Make sure the accessory fits not only your space but also the cookware you use most often. This 270x270mm support is a great all-rounder for most standard pans and  trays.

Material Matters

When dealing with extreme heat, the material is everything. Iroko wood is chosen for its excellent heat resistance, whereas a standard wooden chopping board would likely scorch or crack under the same pressure.

Consider Cleaning & Upkeep

In a busy kitchen, easy maintenance is key. Natural wood requires a little care—a quick wipe-down is all it needs—but it pays off in durability and  hygiene compared to materials that can harbour bacteria.

Prioritise Protection

The main job of an accessory like this is to protect your bigger investments, like countertops and  stations. Investing a little in a quality support can save you hundreds or even thousands in repair bills down the line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this made from solid Iroko wood?

A: Yes, it is crafted from a single, solid piece of high-quality Iroko wood for maximum durability and  heat resistance.

Q: Can I put a pan straight from a 400°C oven onto it?

A: Absolutely. This support is specifically designed to handle the extreme temperatures of cookware coming directly from a Josper charcoal oven.

Q: How should I clean this wood support?

A: The best way is to wipe it with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging it in water as this can cause the wood to warp or crack.

Q: Does the wood need to be oiled?

A: While not essential for its function, occasionally treating it with a food-safe mineral oil will help to preserve the wood and  maintain its appearance.

Q: What are the exact dimensions?

A: It measures 270mm in width by 270mm in depth, providing a stable square base.

Q: Will it slide around on a stainless steel surface?

A: It's a solid block weighing over 1kg, so it's very stable. However, always ensure your surface is clean and  dry to prevent any movement.

Q: Is this an official Josper grill wood accessory?

A: Yes, this is a genuine, official spare part manufactured by Josper to their exacting standards.

Q: Can this be used as a chopping board?

A: We strongly advise against it. It is designed as a heat trivet or support, and  using knives on it will damage the surface and  compromise its integrity.

The Josper Difference: Precision in Every Detail

Owning a Josper oven is a statement of commitment to quality, flavour, and  performance. That philosophy doesn't stop with the main unit; it extends to every single accessory, including this seemingly simple Iroko wood support. This isn't just any off-the-shelf block; it's an integral component of the Josper cooking ecosystem. Choosing a genuine Josper accessory means you're investing in the longevity and  safety of your entire kitchen. It's engineered to withstand the unique, intense environment created by charcoal cooking, protecting your valuable work surfaces day in, day out. This focus on durability and  purpose-built design reduces the long-term cost of ownership by preventing accidents and  costly repairs to countertops. It’s a small part that plays a huge role in maintaining the professional standards and  operational efficiency that the Josper brand represents.

More Than Just Wood: Why Iroko's Low Heat Transfer Matters

You often see 'low heat transfer' mentioned with materials like wood, but what does it actually mean for your kitchen? Think of this Iroko wood block as a top-quality oven glove for your countertop. When you place a red-hot pan on it, the wood's dense, natural structure acts as a barrier, trapping the heat and  stopping it from passing through to the surface underneath. Materials like metal would transfer that heat almost instantly, potentially scorching or even warping your worktop.

Iroko wood is particularly brilliant at this because of its cellular structure and  natural oils, which make it a poor conductor of heat. This means the energy from the hot pan struggles to move through the block, keeping the underside cool and  your work surfaces safe. It’s a simple principle of physics, but in a fast-paced kitchen, it’s the difference between a protected workspace and  a costly repair bill.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Steakhouses & Grill Restaurants: Essential for a safe landing spot for hot cast-iron pans and  trays fresh from the grill.
  • High-End Hotel Kitchens: Protects pristine stainless steel and  stone worktops from accidental heat damage and  scorches.
  • Gourmet Pubs with Josper Grills: A vital replacement wood support for Josper oven users to maintain a safe and  efficient kitchen flow.
  • Event Caterers: Perfect for protecting temporary surfaces and  countertops in varied mobile catering environments.
