Chicago Brick Oven CBO-O-CT-500-SB

Because this oven reaches temperatures up to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, it must be placed on a non-combustible surface, such as stone, concrete, or a heavy-duty metal stand designed for high-heat equipment. Ensure your chosen surface is level and sturdy enough to support the weight of the commercial-grade cement construction.

While heat-up times depend on the ambient temperature and the type of wood used, you can generally expect the oven to reach optimal cooking temperatures within 45 to 60 minutes. The proprietary cement construction is designed to hold heat efficiently once it has been properly preheated.

Absolutely. The high-heat environment and flame-roll design make it excellent for roasting meats, baking bread, searing vegetables, and cooking appetizers. The consistent heat retention allows for a wide variety of culinary applications beyond just pizzas.

No, this is strictly an outdoor-only appliance. It is a wood-burning unit that produces smoke and requires proper ventilation that cannot be safely achieved in an indoor residential or commercial kitchen setting.

For the best flavor and heat performance, use seasoned hardwoods like oak, hickory, or fruitwoods such as apple or cherry. Avoid softwoods like pine or cedar, as they can produce excessive soot and resin that may affect the taste of your food and the cleanliness of the oven.

The most effective way to clean the cooking surface is to let the fire burn off any leftover food residue at the end of your cooking session. Once the oven has completely cooled, you can use a long-handled brass wire brush to sweep away any remaining ash or debris.
