Bringing More To The Table
The first and most important thing to note
is a Wood Stone Fire Deck oven and a
traditional deck oven fit in similar footprints but are in fact
very different ovens.
Here are several of the important
differences:
Difference #1. The Show.
Deck ovens are closed chambered ovens with a door and with no open
flame. The baking happens behind the door. There is no show for
the customer and no visual keys for the chef. Wood Stone
Fire Deck ovens
are designed to operate without a door and they have an open
flame. They're show stoppers. Not only do they cook a
superior pizza, but your customers can’t get enough of
watching the cooking process happen right before their eyes. The
restaurant business is about turning out consistently great
food, but it is also about entertaining your customers.
With a Fire Deck you can do both.
Difference #2:
Consistency of Bake. Average cook times for a
thin to medium crust pizza are 3-5 minutes in a Wood Stone.
Deck ovens typically range at least 6-8 minutes in the best of
conditions and can get noticeably longer during peak periods of
production. (for more details on this point
visit For more about this please see our
Detailed Production Comparison.)
Wood Stone Fire Deck ovens maintain floor
temperature better and therefore provide more consistent baking.
Why are Fire Decks more consistent? Consider...
--Floor Construction: The floor of a Wood
Stone is a single piece of high temperature refractory cast to a
4” thickness. This provides a tremendous thermal mass to hold the
heat during periods of peak production
where pizza after pizza are placed on the same location on the
floor. The more stone there is the more heat storage
capacity and therefore the longer you can cook a
consistent pizza. Most deck ovens use a tile floor that is 2” thick or less.

--Underfloor Burner
Options. Wood
Stone Fire Deck ovens
can come with an underfloor infra-red
burner that will guarantee floor temperatures around the clock.
As cold pizzas impact the floor temperature,
floor heat can be replaced from below with the IR.
