wood oven

Log-fired cooking chamber

A wood oven is an oven heated by burning wood rather than gas or electricity.

The term typically refers to brick or stone ovens used for baking bread or pizza, where the fire burns inside the cooking chamber itself: The pizzeria's wood oven reaches 900 degrees.

Wood ovens impart a distinctive smoky flavor and achieve temperatures difficult to replicate with conventional ovens.
