Any Rofco B40 oven users here?

I am looking for a  used Belgian Rofco B40 oven, because the budget does not allow for a new one.

Not sure where you're located, but Brook Food, www.brookfood.co.uk in the UK has used ones from time to time....some are showroom models or demo models.  In the US, your only source is Pleasant Hill Grain, and the Rofcos never seem to go on sale there.  I'm contemplating a B20 purchase myself.

I recently bought a B20 from Brook Food and happy to share, if you are curious. Kat

How is it baking for you?  How many loaves/what shape are you fitting onto those three shelves?  What's your preheat time?

Wish I could buy from Brook!  The US prices are significantly more.  And Brook sells those nifty stainless steel carts sized just right for the Rofcos.

Now I'm in Europe. It would be harder to find something from USA. For my bread Rofco B40 it's perfect and is not that expensive

Hello Kat. Yes, I'm looking for a second-hand solution.I'm curious. I'm looking for something around 1300-1600 euros if possible,but I`m not sure.

a couple of threads on Rofco B 40 ovens. I have found that there are some good posts on IGwith useful information.

Can I clarify as I don't quite understand your questions,  are you looking for a second hand one?

I am in UK and understand that second hand ones are difficult to get but you might be lucky...
