• Wood Fired Pizza Oven with Mosaic Tiles and Cast Iron Door!
• A traditional and fully insulated wood fired pizza oven made in Portugal!

This oven features hand tile mosaic, pictures will tell better story than words. 3 colors available: red, blue, white, but please see the paragraph above...

• Great for baking pizza and bread and also cooking meat, fish, vegetables!
• This oven is truly unique due to its hand made mosaic tiles and cast iron door!

The door is 2-part, 1 cm thick, has an air inlet with wooden handle, 2 openings for rotisserie spits and is a beauty to look at in its own right. The spits are not included, please purchase your own, they are widely available, both motorized and not.

• The chimney is now stainless steel, consists of 2 parts to be easily turned.
• Lifting eyes on the corners are removable

The oven is fully insulated with ceramic blankets! You do not need to spend time and money on further insulation! We tested this oven at 880F inside T and the outside of the oven was at 55F.

• The base of the oven is 110x110 cm (approx. 43"x43") The corners are rounded off as pictured.
• The inside diameter of the oven (cooking area) is approx. 31.5". The chimney diameter is 6", the weight of the oven is approx. 1500 lbs.
• The oven is about 32" high.
• The door is 15.7" wide and 13.7" high.

The core of the oven is made from natural terracotta clay - both the dome and the floor. This is the traditional Pereruela style. The clay core is fired in a pottery kiln for hours under much higher T than the oven will be exposed to in course of regular use. The base is reinforced with rebars and is made from concrete with expanded clay below cooking surface to provide insulation for the floor. The next layer is expanded clay (leca) used widely in Portugal and Spain for oven insulation. It also serves to reinforce the oven. The next layer is rock wool around the dome for insulation. The next layer is chicken wire to hold the rock wool together and to reinforce the cement which is applied on top. The next layer is again expanded clay for further insulation. The next layer is cork - a natural colored spray based on cork (Portugal is the # 1 exporter of cork in the world).
There is a temperature gauge in Centigrade. Unlike the gauges on the doors which are useless because the door is open most of the time this one is inserted in the oven itself and therefore always monitors T!
Prior to the first use the oven needs to be "cured" which means running a few small fires a few hours each - we will email you detailed instructions on how to do this. It's a very simple but necessary step designed to eliminate all moisture from the cement covering the oven.
