Wood Stone intros new coal-fired oven

BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Wood Stone is unveiling a new oven dedicated to coal-fired, stone-hearth cooking.

 

According to a news release, the oven is designed to create an environment that is responsible and reliable for using this traditional fuel source. As North America heads back to its roots of great simple pizza, coal-fired pizza has increased in popularity.

 

Coal requires a significant investment in understanding proper operation and an oven that is designed to simplify proper combustion and temperature management. Wood Stone went to the drawing board to design an oven that would compliment the use of coal as an exciting option to wood or gas.

 

"Coal-fired cooking, like wood-fired cooking, has a romantic appeal to customers who remember eating great pizza from old hand-built, coal-fired ovens," said Jackie Van Zwol, sales and consultant coordinator for Wood Stone. "Wood Stone has the viable oven to achieve the high temperatures, even with coal, that operators need to get that great flavor associated with coal-fired pizza."

 

Wood Stone's coal fired oven is a modified version of the Fire Deck 9660. The oven has been modified to achieve a good balance of top and bottom heat along with modifications to achieve optimum air flow. The Coal Fired Fire Deck 9660 features a standard door opening 54 inches wide x 10 inches high. The cooking surface is 70 inches wide and 46 inches deep, resulting in 22 square-feet of usable deck space. The dense, high-temperature ceramic formulation of which the hearth and dome are cast creates a deep heat sink within the chamber of the oven.
