Bring the pleasures of cooking in a terra-cotta, wood-fire oven to your backyard or deck. Wonderful for entertaining, this authentic European oven can bake everything from crisp-crusted pizzas and rustic breads to juicy roast chicken with a crackling golden skin. Its very easy to use: Start by building a wood fire on the oven floor; when it reaches the desired temperature, push back the coals to expose a superheated baking surface. The beehive shape of the dome helps it to efficiently absorb and radiate heat, so foods cook quickly with a hint of rich, smoky flavor. Even at baking temperatures of up to 900ºF, the exterior surface remains warm, but not hot to the touch, thanks to the domes double-wall construction with an insulating layer.
