Well, it looks as though wood-fired ovens are really in at the moment with a string of celebrities following Jamie Oliver's lead in having a talking point in the garden.
We make and install our own oven in-situ and is clad with whatever material fits in best with your house or garden design. The interior is constructed from fireclay mortared with special high alumina cement and its dimensions or proportions are predetermined to give the best possible performance. Surrounding the oven with insulated concrete ensures even temperatures and slow heat loss giving a predictable cooking time.
Once the oven is up to temperature, between 45 and 90mins depending on how good your wood is and how big the oven, you can start cooking your pizza once the embers have been pushed to one side. Pick up your 'paddle' and slide the pizzas in and in about 90 seconds the bubbling and slightly charred pizzas can be taken out and eaten! As the oven cools (the temperature can be checked with a special thermometer) you can cook bread and almost anything else you would normally barbecue or oven roast.
Contact us for further details of installation costs and accessories and in no time you'll be the envy of the neighbourhood!
