Our new ovens are made for home or commercial use, indoors or outdoors, and come in three versions – wood-fired, gas-fired, and the increasingly popular wood-and-gas-fired combination oven.
While there is nothing like the feel and flavour of food cooked in a wood-fired oven, you might prefer the advantages of the gas-fired oven that heats up quickly and efficiently and cooks with less heat fluctuation. Or why not retain the advantages of both with the combination oven which is extremely versatile and practical for both household and commercial use.
The combo oven retains the charm of a traditional wood-fired brick oven with the additional/ back-up option of gas-fired cooking. The heating effect is much faster due to the double impact of wood and gas. The gas fire heats up the dome and the centre of the oven very quickly while the wood fire heats the oven floor. This model is also ideal for baking bread and cakes since you can use the gas fire to prevent heat fluctuation.
Last but not least, the igloo-shaped dome of the ovens can be by itself a work of art. It looks attractive even in the raw state, but an added design can make it truly unique!
Oven specifications
The basic style is an Igloo-shaped oven on a metal stand. The ovens have a 36” interior diameter and are specially designed and assembled using advanced refractory materials and mortar with an interlocking dome design. Oven sections are cast with the highest-grade materials available in the industry, ensuring rapid heat-up and sustained heat retention, which also increases the fuel efficiency.
Dome and cooking floor
The interlocking dome pieces fit tightly together around the cooking floor (kiln-fired floor tiles) which rests on an insulated base. As the cooking floor is enclosed by the oven dome there is better heat retention which reduces wood/gas consumption.
The floor comes with an 8” landing area, useful when working around pizza and pasta, or good for toasting bread and keeping food warm.
The oven dome is fully insulated with a high-grade ceramic blanket on the outside, while the cooking floor is insulated with a high-grade ceramic board underneath, along with special heat-resistant mortar.
Oven stand
The oven stand is a pre-cut concrete hearth that rests on a specially made rectangular metal frame.
The stand is larger than the oven diameter, giving enough room for resting the oven door on one side and the basic oven tools on the other, providing easy accessibility for cooking in the oven.
The oven floor and floor insulation rest on top of the stand which forms the base to attach the dome pieces.
Chimney
The oven comes with an 6” diameter chimney with rain cap.
Site visit
A site visit is mandatory in order to assess any additional requirements that may be needed . This is chargeable, depending on location and distance. A site visit is needed for instance, if the location demands a longer chimney (an additional cost will be charged for every extra length needed, or an elbow set may be required to support the extra height of the chimney), which can be determined only after an initial site visit. The site visit also helps locate the ideal direction for the oven opening (which should not be hindered by the flow of wind), allowing for a better cooking experience and fire management.
Also note that an outdoor oven may need a concrete foundation on the ground to support the oven weight. A client might also prefer a roof or side covering, which can be decided only after the first site visit.
Oven design
The oven is covered with a fire-clay coat, and a rustic mud-wash . Other designs can be discussed and the oven stand can be covered in backer boards if desired.
Oven manuals and cooking manuals with some tips and tricks will be given.
Oven tool kit is an optional extra.
Ready assembled ovens and ones made on-site, will be available initially in Tamil Nadu, Goa and Madikeri (subject to logistics). DIY kits may be transported further afield.
