How should I decide which size Pizza Oven to order??
In general, we would recommend that you choose as large an oven as you have space and can afford.
The incremental cost of larger oven sizes is not huge, and you will appreciate the additional cooking space.
Even if you do not intend to cook five pizzas at a time, you will enjoy the size of a large oven for roasting a turkey, potatoes and vegetables, or preparing multiple pans of appetizers for a party.
That is why these are the best selling sizes.
How do I decide between a Steel and a refractory pizza oven?
It is a matter of taste, and budget.
Many chefs and food experts say that there is no substitute for cooking in a true refractory oven.
But Todays Steel Pizza Ovens are heavily insulation are as efficient as prefabricated modules, and are as easy to install.
We also like the fact that Steel Ovens heat up sooo quickly
How long do they take to Heat Up?
From Start Up - the Pizza Ovens take about 45Min to get to Temp
How do I install?
We have worked hard to simplify the installation process, both for indoor and outdoor ovens.
Most of our range of Pizza Ovens come pre-assembled and just require a base to sit them on - if not there are a number of Pizza Ovens that have optional stands.
Can I cook more than bread and pizza?
Definitely.
The characteristics that make a wood fire oven excel at pizza and bread also make it ideal for cooking roasts, poultry, potatoes, vegetables, and fish.
The fire in the oven environment that simultaneously cooks the top and bottom of a pizza is perfect for appetizers and tapas, while the oven's ability to retain heat enables you to slowly cook beans, soups and stews.
You can use stainless steel, terra cotta and cast iron pots and pans in a wood fire oven to obtain a wide range of cooking effects.
What are the differences between ovens designed for restaurants, caterers, and the home/garden?
There are a number of differences. Commercial ovens are designed to withstand the rigors of being fired 365 days per year - cooking hundreds of pizzas under high heat for 12 hours per day.
The thermal mass and weight of commercial ovens is significantly larger than home and catering ovens, and the refractory materials and insulation utilized are designed for higher heat and higher duty.
Ovens for the home and garden have the same basic characteristics of commercial ovens.
They reach the very high hearth and dome temperatures necessary for cooking perfect pizza, and they retain heat to cook bread and roasts.At the same time, they heat up more quickly, weigh less, cost less and are easier to install.
How are the pizza ovens shipped?
We ship throughout Australia by truck.
Your oven is shipped Curbside Service, where it is placed at the curb of your home or business by the shipping company.
If any part of the oven is broken during shipping we will replace it quickly, free of charge.Our larger ovens require a forklift, or other mechanical means, for movement and placement.
