The Advantages of Fontana

Unique Features of Our Fontana Forni Outdoor Ovens

A POLISHED POWERHOUSE
A fully welded, bent-steel dome—powder-coated in weather-proof anthracite—stands up to rain, salt air, and sweltering summers while storing heat like a kiln. At 187 lbs in countertop trim, it’s hefty enough for stability yet light enough to reposition when you redesign your outdoor space.
COOKING SPACE TO SPARE
The 24″-square deck and 14″ interior vault welcome bubbling lasagna pans, bone-in tomahawks, beer-can chickens, or double pie night—plenty of room for creativity without crowding the stone.
OPTIMAL AIRFLOW
Pair the chimney’s variable cap with a precisely sized front door to draw fresh oxygen across the fire and sweep aromatic wood smoke over your food, delivering even browning and crave-worthy char in every bite.
PRECISION TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Rock-wool insulation, reflective steel walls, and a tight-sealing door let you cruise at 350 °F for slow-roasted porchetta, rebound instantly for 90-second pizzas, and hold stone heat for batch after batch—all while burning up to five times less wood than a brick dome of similar size.
