The purchase of an oven supposes a significant outlay for the client and therefore he deserves all the possible and truthful information so that the purchase does not become an unpleasant surprise in what had to be an item of enjoyment for family and friends.
We will highlight the most important points and details in which the future customer has to pay attention to make the right purchase:

2 – Product features
There are three main ways of building wood ovens:
clay vault ovens
Manufactured mainly in Spain and Portugal, it consists of a one-piece clay vault, approximately 2-4 cm thick. Among the advantages it has is that they are easy to prefabricate, light in weight, normally the clay is made up of kaolin and refractory clay. The disadvantage is their fragility and low wall thickness, although they have good resistance and temperature retention.
Traditional brick-on-brick oven
These are built with refractory bricks, the old-fashioned way, brick on brick, interlocked, they can be made of high alumina (pizzerias and restaurants), our star oven, thickness of the vault 5-6 cts. Oven guaranteed for many years and with great efficiency, among the advantages, its great robustness, guarantee of resistance and retention at temperature and resistance to cracks. Disadvantages, its complicated construction and its weight, since they are usually between 500 and 900 kg.
Refractory concrete vault
This system is the one normally used by the majority of world manufacturers, especially the Italian ones, a furnace made up of refractory concrete modules. In our case, the concrete is made up of 100% kaolin clay, which makes it a high-pressure furnace. alumina, very suitable for domestic and professional ovens.
3 – Measurements of the ovens
We enter a very interesting topic, the one that will affect us the most when buying an oven. Although it may seem so, they are not the same measurements of a 90 cm clay oven. than a traditional 90 or 90 cm oven. Tony why?
Well, for a very simple reason that goes unnoticed by most customers. When talking about measurements of clay ovens, it always refers to the external measurement of the oven, that is to say, that a clay oven of 90, in reality, the useful internal measurement is 80-84cm inside. Although I am a bit heavy on this topic, we are going to take an example of the difference between an oven with an internal measurement of 84 cm. And another 90 cm useful interior.
FORMULA FOR THE SURFACE OF A CIRCUMFERENCE: π xr 2.
84 cm oven: 3,1416 x 1764 (42×42 radius2) = 5.541 cm2
90 cm oven: 3,1416 x 2025(45×45 radius2) = 6.361 cm2
DIFFERENCE ………………………………… 820 cm2
difference 820cm2 equivalent to a casserole of 30 x 27 cm
Surprised right? Well that's the reality.
We also have to assess the type of insulation, as well as final finishes and, as I said before, the opinions of customers who have already purchased and it is the best reference to get the right purchase of a wood-fired oven.
We hope these clarifications will help you decide which oven you are interested in and above all avoid surprises when purchasing your oven.
