About the Ovens
No hassle of assembling your oven yourself as all my-woodfiredovens come completely finished!
Our wood fired gourmet and pizza ovens are hand made with the best materials. 304 Stainless steel is used and the outer shells of the dome of the ovens are powder coated for long durability in the sometimes wet and cold New Zealand climate.
Our ovens are the result of long research and trials and testing by Giuseppe. His passion for wood fired cooking comes from his childhood in Italy. His mother and aunties cooked anything in wood fired ovens, and he realised how much he missed this when he moved away. So his mind was set on keeping the tradition alive.
After running his wood fired catering business in Australia for 5 years, catering for weddings and corporate functions, he knew exactly what he wanted from a wood fired oven and started his own production of ovens.
After many design phases and improvement over improvement, the final designs seemed to be ready for production. We found a small factory where people listen to our requirements and patiently await our instructions after each of Giuseppe’s testings. The result: affordable, good looking but most importantly: very well functioning pizza ovens, directly from the factory to you! We have gone great lengths to get the best product at the lowest cost so everyone can enjoy this unique and genuine way of cooking.
The making of our wood fired pizza ovens:
The domes of our ovens are double walled and made of 304 stainless steel. The outer oven domes are finished with textured powder coating in different colours for easy maintenance and embellishment.
In between the oven walls is a tripple layer of ceramic blanket and insulating fire clay. The effect of this is a better heat retention and reduced exterior temperature. You can comfortable keep your hand on the oven even when the fire is raging inside.
Even the oven doors are double panelled stainless steel and insulated with ceramic blanket and have a thermo viewing glass and 2 wooden handles to avoid burning hands.
The cooking floor of our pizza ovens are insulated with 40mm high density ceramic fibre board with refractory tiles on top for optimum heat retention. Which means perfect for cooking anything and fantastic for pizza baking. For the best results, pizza and breads should be baked directly on the oven floor as the heat retained in the refractory tiles is an important detail for the cooking process.
Our ovens come with a fire separator for easy handling of the fire, oven door, laser thermometer and a chimney with cap.
The optional oven trolleys are in textured powder coated stainless steel in colours matching the oven. They have 4 castor wheels of which 2 with brakes.
