WPPO Tuscany Oven Kit

The kit is designed for straightforward assembly. Because it consists of only three primary refractory clay pieces, you can typically set it up in a single afternoon with a helper, provided you have a stable, level base ready.

Yes, the oven is designed with a refractory clay shell that keeps the exterior cool to the touch while the interior reaches high cooking temperatures. However, you should always place it on a non-combustible stand or base to ensure complete safety.

Thanks to the high-density refractory clay construction, the oven retains heat exceptionally well. It can remain warm for up to 12 hours after your fire has died down, which is excellent for residual heat cooking like slow-roasting or keeping dishes warm.

Hardwoods like oak, maple, or fruitwoods are ideal because they burn cleaner and provide a consistent, high-heat flame. Avoid using softwoods like pine or treated lumber, as they can produce excessive soot and impart unwanted flavors to your food.

Yes, like most refractory clay ovens, you should perform a curing process to slowly remove moisture from the clay. This involves starting with small, low-heat fires over several days to prevent cracking before you attempt to reach full pizza-making temperatures.
