Outdoor Pizza Ovens - for Sale by Studio 205

When I first moved to Idaho I looked long and hard for a wood fired cooking system that would double as a heating source for the gallery my wife and I were opening on Main Street of Pierce, Idaho.  I could not find one.  Now, one of our metal artists that we feature in our shop has built my dream oven.  I call it the “Backyard Bistro”.  I have long barbequed over a real wood fire versus a gas barbeque or briquettes and know there is no flavor like what can be had from a rotisserie cooked prime rib in such a way.  Our local wood of choice is alder and when cut green, the bark slipped and split and dried, makes a wonderful, mild cooking wood.  It is those natural characteristics that truly season and produce unsurpassed flavor in whatever you are cooking. 

Now, you can have more than a wood fired grill….you can have a wood-fired oven where the heat is provided by a controllable wood stove that transfers heat to the oven in a convection manner.  Now you have the best of wood flavored cooking and wood heat (known for putting that thick crust on bread and making unforgettable pizza) in your own backyard.  Wow your friends with fresh baked bread and pizza or your favorite meat slow cooked to your liking with your favorite cooking wood and system controlled smoke.  The results are fabulous!  What amazes me is the wide range of uses this unit presents the serious connoisseur, from hot oven wood fired pizza, to slow roasted meats, to curing meat or fish at very low temperatures.  There’s an easy technique for each and we can provide the way for you to do it with this one unique system.  This oven is heavy duty and designed for you to pass down to your children.  It is beautiful, designed and crafted by a skilled artisan, who makes the finished product a thing of beauty and personalized with your own stainless steel initial on the door.  Don’t hesitate.  Join me in the experience of cooking like they used to and take your art of cooking to the next level.  Greg Gerot, Studio 205, Pierce, Idaho

The art of barbequing has risen to a different level in recent years with the revived interest in genuine wood fired cooking. Instead of using the traditional briquette or gas fired grill we are finding much more satisfaction cooking over real wood such as alder, oak, mesquite or whatever good cooking hardwood is available where we live. For centuries 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 fact that wood fired cooking is and always has been the key to many cooking secrets. It is no wonder that every chateau or manor visited in France has a wood fired cooking system. The flavor, the smoke, and the heat is unsurpassed and those of us who love cooking good food continue to search for a way that will take us back to that quality and simplicity.

For years, in the South, a tradition of luscious smoked meats from Texas beef to Carolina’s pork 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 the 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 guests to an experience of the old country. And when we want to cook our favorite meat we can do it slowly 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.

Outdoor pizza ovens come in several different forms for the serious follower of old world cooking. The traditional Italian wood fired pizza oven is often built into a deck or patio system as a gathering place and conversation piece around which real quality food can be enjoyed in an intimate setting. This system, 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 other 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.

Using old fashioned convection styled heating, one simply builds a fire in the firebox and waits for the oven to heat to temperature. All 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 safely and trouble free. Then, once the oven has reached its cooking temperature it can be used to bake bread, meats and pizza and anything imaginable. Our outdoor pizza oven has a system to channel the smoke from the favored wood to the oven to enhance the flavor. Other times, such as bread baking time, the wood smoke can be channeled out the chimney and not affect the delicate essence of the product. Not only does it make real wood cooking available to the average person but it provides a very attractive addition to your deck or patio as you entertain.

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