Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What are your fire pits and ovens made from?
All our products are made using speciality clay and high-heat refractory materials, ensuring longevity, thermal efficiency, and beautiful natural finishes. Advantages of Clay: High-Temperature Resistance: Clay bricks, particularly firebricks, are formulated to endure the extreme heat generated in a pizza ovens and firepits, unlike some other brick types that may crack or crumble. Heat Retention and Distribution: Clay’s ability to absorb and retain heat helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, ensuring even baking and preventing hot spots. Radiant Heat: Clay radiates heat back into the oven, which is vital for achieving the desired crispy crust on pizzas. Moisture Absorption: Clay’s porous nature allows it to absorb some moisture from the dough, contributing to a crispier crust. Traditional and Natural: Clay is a traditional material used in pizza ovens, and its natural composition makes it a desirable choice for those seeking an authentic cooking experience.
