The Art And Practice Of Barbecuing Using A Wood Fired Outdoor Pizza Oven


The art and practice of and interest in barbequing has continued to rise to a different level in recent years with the revived enthusiasm in outdoor cooking. Instead of making use of the typical briquette grill we are finding much more satisfaction cooking over wood such as alder, oak, mesquite or whatever hardwood is locally available. For centuries bread has been baked in wood fired ovens made stone, steel or out of masonry 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 Europe has a wood fired cooking method. The flavor, the smoke, and the heat is unequaled and those of us who really enjoy cooking good food continue to look 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 joining the essence of smoking with qualities that would allow us to cook bread in the same system? Absolutely 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 experience 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 unhurriedly with a thick smoke surrounding it forming itself into an exquisite offering for our guests as we work our way through a memorable dinner reminiscent of a night on the Loire River in the center of France.

The outdoor pizza oven comes in several unique forms for the serious follower of old world cooking. The common 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 structure, because of the need for moderately sophisticated masonry work, can be expensive and many times the common food lover cannot afford such a system. The alternative choice is a steel, free standing wood fired pizza oven like ours which requires no special masonry work or installment and can be used right from the box.

Utilizing 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 included with the unit to control and encourage the fire so that it lights conveniently and heats to temperature safely and securely and trouble free. Then, once the oven has reached its cooking temperature it can be used to cook 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 improve the flavor. Not only does it make wood cooking attainable to the beginner but it supplies a very attractive addition to your patio or deck as you entertain.

Out-of-doors pizza ovens bring back the enjoyment of the practice of cooking with wood. Having your very own outdoor pizza oven on a beautiful summer evening, in your own private setting, family or friends, and of course, good food can make a delicious and memorable experience you and your guests will long remember.
