The art of and interest in barbequing has continued to rise to a different level in recent years with the revived fascination in outdoor cooking. Instead of using the traditional briquette grill we are finding much more satisfaction cooking over real wood such as alder, oak, mesquite or whatever hardwood is locally available. For hundreds of years bread has been baked in wood fired ovens made out of masonry, stone or steel and the secret to thick crunchy crust is held therein. It is a well known that wood fired cooking is and always has been the key to many cooking secrets. It is no wonder that every manor or chateau visited in France has a wood fired cooking system. The flavor, the smoke, and the heat is unsurpassed and those of us who savor cooking great food continue to search for a way that will take us back to that quality and simplicity.
For years, in the Southeast, a tradition of luscious smoked meats from Carolina pork to Texas beef has been a part of Americana. Could there be a way of combining the essence of smoking with qualities that would allow us to cook bread in the same system? Yes, it is a wood fired pizza oven. Not only can we have the cooking process outdoors on those warm summer evenings, but we can enjoy pizza in a gourmet fashion, the way we like it, with the crust of Italy and flavor that takes us and our friends to an experience of the old country. And when we want to cook our favorite meat we can do it slowly but surely with a thick smoke surrounding it forming itself into a savory offering for our guests as we work our way through a memorable dinner reminiscent of a night on the Loire River in the midst of France.
The outdoor pizza oven comes in several assorted forms for the serious follower of old world cooking. The traditional Italian wood fired pizza oven is often built into a patio or deck system as a gathering place and conversation piece around which real quality food can be enjoyed in an intimate setting. This approach, because of the need for fairly sophisticated masonry work, can be expensive and many times the average food lover cannot afford such a system. The alternative choice is a steel, free standing wood fired pizza oven like ours which demands no special masonry work or installment and can be used right from the box.
Using old fashioned convection styled heating, a person simply builds a fire in the firebox and waits for the oven to heat to temperature. All of the controls of a wood stove are provided with the unit to control and encourage the fire so that it lights easily and heats to temperature without any problems and trouble free. And then, once the oven has reached its cooking temperature it can be used to bake bread, meats, pizza and anything imaginable. Our outdoor pizza oven has a method to channel the smoke from the favored wood to the oven to augment the flavor. Not only does it make real wood cooking available to the average person but it will provide a very charming addition to your deck or patio as you entertain.
Out-of-doors pizza ovens bring back the enjoyment of the method of cooking with wood. Having your own outdoor pizza oven on a beautiful summer evening, in your own intimate setting, family or good friends, and of course, good food can make a memorable and delicious experience you and your guests will long remember.
