Built-in wood-fired pizza ovens, smokers and grills with fireproof bases, chimneys and stone surrounds for serious outdoor cooking.
Few things draw a crowd like a wood-fired pizza oven. Nashville already loves its smoke, and a built-in smoker or oven gives backyard cooks the same serious heat and flavor. These features need more planning than a grill, with heavy bases, heat-rated materials, proper chimney clearances and a spot with good airflow away from combustibles.
Your designer helps you choose between kit ovens, custom masonry ovens and smoker designs, and plans size, location and materials. The crew builds a reinforced base, constructs the oven or smoker enclosure from refractory materials and veneer, installs chimneys and fireproof counters and adds storage for wood. The scope lists clearances, fire safety points and cure schedule so the first fire goes well. Cooking outdoors is also a social event, so we plan landing space beside the oven for peels and trays.
Ovens are heavy and run hot, so they sit on reinforced bases and heat-rated materials, with clearances from structures.
A proper chimney pulls smoke away and helps the fire burn well, and its height and position are planned with the wind and roof in mind.
Heat-safe counters, a tool rack and wood storage keep the cook comfortable and the area organized.
New masonry ovens need a slow curing process, and we explain it so the oven lasts.
