FAQs

Your Q-Series wood-fired ovens are designed with the wood burning chamber situated below the cooking chamber-- most your competitors have the chambers side-by-side.  Why the difference?
"Black" wood-fired ovens house the fire right in the cooking chamber itself where the food is prepared.  "White" ovens have two separate chambers- one for the fire and one for the food. Q-Series ovens are "hybrids" and designed with the best features of both a black and white oven, with none of the disadvantages. Like a white oven, Q-Series ovens contain two separate chambers for easy preparation and cleaning, but vents along the inside allow smoke to pass from the fire chamber to the food, imparting it with wonderful smoky flavors.

What are the ovens made of?
Q-Series ovens are constructed from grade 304 steel, stainless steel parts, refractory fire brick, a durable, ¾ inch stone cooking surface and specially-designed insulation to regulate temperature.

Are Q-Series ovens for pizza only?
Q Series wood-fired ovens honor the very essence of cooking as it was from the beginning of the human experience - cooking over a wood fire.  While famous for making delicious, crispy, wonderful pizzas, Q-Series ovens are great for cooking a wide variety of other great dishes as well, including meats, fish, breads, vegetables, pies and so much more!





How hot do the ovens get?

Q-Series ovens are rated up to 950 degrees Fahrenheit.  The ideal temperature for cooking breads, steaks, chicken, fish, and other similarly cut items is 700 degrees F and Q-Series ovens reach that temperature quickly- in about 20 minutes. Foods that require a longer, slower cooking method such as roasts and ribs may require a lower temperature (between 250 and 300 degrees F).

QX-A
A perfect fully-modular outdoor wood-fired oven in a simple, elegant design for the classic wood-fired cooking experience. Convenient stainless steel handles for easy mobility.


QX-B
A fully-mobile outdoor wood-fired oven offering a stainless steel interior shelf for additional cooking options and two stainless steel side shelves for added versatility. Stainless steel handles for easy mobility.


QX-C
Rectangular bottom design for simple installation into outdoor kitchen islands and masonry surrounds. Stainless steel interior shelf for
additional cooking options.



QX-D
The largest of the Q Series Wood-Fired Ovens, this model can cook up to four pizzas at a time, two turkeys or even a small pig. Perfect for families who love to entertain or for commercial applications. The rectangular design also allows for simple installation into outdoor kitchen islands or masonry surrounds.


QX-M
A terrific miniature wood-fired oven, the “mini” is designed to sit on an outdoor kitchen countertop or also may be built into an outdoor kitchen island. Spacious enough to fit a 12” pizza, breads, meat and most other gourmet foods.

When considering a wood-fired oven, please consider the following features, benefits and advantages unique to the Q-Series ovens:

  • Quick and easy set-up. Q-Series ovens arrive 95% assembled and set-up takes about 20 minutes as compared to built-in ovens that require several days to assemble and install.
  • Fast heating times. Q-Series ovens typically reach desired cooking temperature quickly (approximately 700 degrees F in 20 minutes) as opposed to an hour or more for most built-in ovens.
  • Easy-to-regulate temperature. You can increase or decrease temperature easily by adjusting the grate directly in front of the fire chamber and/or by simply adding more firewood.
  • Affordability. Unlike built-in brick ovens that can cost $10,000 or more to construct (and several days to install), Q-Series ovens are more affordable, with models to suit almost every need and budget.
  • Flexibility and mobility. Optional ruggedly-constructed oven bases give you the flexibility to move your oven around as desired and this stand alone design gives you the option to take your oven with you if you move.
  • Award Winning. The only wood-fired ovens to receive the prestigious Vesta Awards for Best In Show and the Outdoor Living Products categories by the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association for the unique design and ease of use.
  • Easily built in: Modular design makes it the low-cost option in terms of labor and material to build in to a kitchen island or a chimney.
  • Spacious Cooking Space: The Q Series Models QX-A, QX-B and QX-C can cook two 18” pizzas simultaneously or a 20 lb turkey.

Wood Burning Pizza Oven Recipes....

If you have some to share, i would love to add them here.


Marinated Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Asparagus

Approximately 2 lbs. pork tenderloin

Marinade: 1 ½ cups olive oil
¾ cup low sodium soy sauce
½ cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup lemon juice
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. minced jar garlic or 2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp. dry mustard
1 ½ tsp. dried parsley
Fresh ground black pepper or pepper mélange (tri-color) and salt, to taste

Using a meat fork, poke holes in the tenderloin, allowing the marinade to seep in and flavor the meat. Combine all ingredients, pour into large zipper plastic bag and add meat. Marinate in refrigerator for several hours or overnight, if possible.

Bring meat to reach room temperature before cooking.

Heat wood-fired oven to 650 - 700 degrees F.

Place meat in oven and monitor its internal temperature every few minutes with a meat thermometer. Because of the high cooking temperature, the outside will be seared which seals in the juices. It will also cook more rapidly than other methods. A two-pound pork tenderloin will cook in approximately 25 minutes, but the meat thermometer will help keep you from over-cooking and possibly drying out the cut.  Turn the meat a few times during cooking to get a golden brown, crispy outer layer.


Classic Italian Pizza Margherita

  • 1 pizza dough round (store bought or homemade. See below for homemade recipe)
  • ½ cup basil chiffonade (stack fresh basil leaves, roll the stack, then slice into feathery 1/4" pieces).
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • ¼ tsp. dry oregano
  • 1 ½ cups canned whole, peeled tomatoes
  • 3- 4 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • Freshly-ground black pepper and salt, to taste
  • 2-3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

Heat wood-fired oven to 700 degrees F.

In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp. olive oil over medium heat, sauté garlic for 1 minute, then add oregano and tomatoes, crushing the tomatoes as you add them to the pan. Boil and stir for 5 minutes or until sauce mixture thickens.

Brush dough with remaining 2-3 tbsp. olive oil, spread Margherita sauce mixture over crust and top with basil chiffonade, mozzarella, light salt and pepper.

Bake for 2-3 minutes, take pizza out and turn it around 180 degrees, and then put it back in the oven for another 2-3 minutes. Cooking time will vary depending on the dough used, dough thickness and the amount of toppings. Your pizza will be done when the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted.

To achieve the perfect airy, crispy and delicious Pizza Margherita, we recommend using a light touch for sauce and toppings and fresh ingredients whenever possible.
