Direct Heat

Enhancing flavour with less cooking time

The beauty of flames in a direct heat oven, for anyone who loves cooking with a professional approach at home.

The Fontana ovens, that exploit the direct heat technique, are highly specialised ovens resulting in very short lighting and pre-heating times, leading to a reduction in wood consumption.

Wood-fired ovens enhance the flavours of dishes, allowing for countless preparations, making them not just an oven for traditional Italian pizza, but a true ally for cooking at home.

Thanks to its sturdy, yet transportable and easy-to-use structure, this type of oven can be used on a variety of different occasions.

01. Girofiamma

Girofiamma is an exclusive technical solution by Fontana Forni that forces the heat generated by the combustion of wood to remain inside the cooking chamber for a longer.

This keeps the heat in contact with all the strategic points of the vault resulting in an oven that reaches the desired temperature in a shorter time, with 80% lower consumption of wood than traditional ovens.

02. Technological Design

Our unique and innovative cooking chamber, domed front-to-back and side-to-side, eliminates hot spots and ensures uniform heat distribution.

Our proprietary exhaust design allows smoke to exit even when the door is closed for maximum heat retention and consistent cooking temperatures.

03. Gas or Wood

Our ovens fuelled with wood, heat up to cooking temperature within 20 minutes and are fuel efficient (up to 80% less wood consumption compared to a traditional oven)

Fontana Forni Direct Heat gas-fired pizza ovens offer the same great features of our wood-fired pizza ovens, but with the added convenience of gas & very little cleanup required. The also have th benefit of using LPG/propane or natural gas (with a conversion kit).
