RSS FeedAfter taking a few seasons off, Wood Stone was excited to have a Ski to Sea team to compete this year. This Memorial Day weekend, we successfully nordic skied, alpine skied, ran, road biked, canoed, mt. biked and kayaked our way to taking 18th in our division – not bad for taking some time off! We had a great time and are looking forward to 2012. Congrats to Kurt, Jamie, Josh, Merrill, Brett, Mark, Brian & Wade!
We are looking forward to seeing many of you at the NRA Show in Chicago. We will have a number of Wood Stone items on display in booth #5721 that you won’t want to miss!
And since we’re on the subject… Are you looking for an oven with multiple openings? Two doors perhaps? Or one door with a second viewing window? Wood Stone is excited to be giving center stage at this year’s NRA show to our newly designed air cooled viewing window. The window will be shown on a Fire Deck 8645 but is available on additional oven models. This feature is dedicated to customers that want to give front row seats to the cooking experience. See you in Chicago! |

At a recent Standards of Excellence event in California, Chef Ann Rudorf “wow’d” the crowd (which included Chef Rachell Boucher) with her Pizza with Minted Fava Beans & Pecorino Romano. Rachell was kind enough to share her thoughts on both Ann’s amazing pizza recipe and our Wood Stone Residential Ovens on her blog post, Drawn to the Kitchen, Mobile Hearth and via a video interview with Ann you can check out below. Thanks for sharing, Rachell!
Wood Stone had a great time at the 2011 International Pizza Expo. The International Pizza Competition is an exciting part of the show and we are always happy to let the contestants use our ovens for the challenges. Many of this year’s contestants were familiar faces and have cooked on our equipment in years past. We were glad that Wood Stone could be part of their victories again this year.

A recent Retaurant Hospitality article, Bringing the High Heat, outlined the opening of a grandiose new restuarant, At.mospheres, in Dubai. As if its location in the tallest building in the world wasn’t enough, it’s just another one of the restuarants outside of the US who have set themselves apart by discovering the joys of cooking with a Josper.
Wood Stone is proud to announce that we will have a Josper, as well as a Plancha suite, (also mentioned in the article) at Booth #435 at the NAFEM Show in February. Hopefully you’ll swing by to see it for yourself!

And what a party it was! Appropriately 60s-themed, the family, friends and staff at Wood Stone came together last Saturday to celebrate this milestone birthday for both Keith and Harry. Entertainment ranged from a live band to a few costumed staff & family members singing original songs to a song written and performed by Keith for Harry – “The Legend of Harry and the Orphanage.” What a night! Check out some of our favorite photos below:
Recently, Wood Stone kicked off the North American debut of the Josper by Wood Stone Charcoal Broiler Oven via events both here in our test kitchen and in Denver, CO. Chefs Manu and Marcelo were very pleased to be able to share their passion for food and the Josper through the presentations, and the Team at Wood Stone was very happy to be able to bring it all together. We believe the Josper by Wood Stone will be one of the exciting new pieces of cooking equipment on the American culinary scene!
