Fontanas’ flagship design incorporates the use of two chambers. The lower chamber is the heart of the oven, it is where the fire is built. Heat from that chamber rises up and around the upper cooking chamber to create an even cooking temperature inside the upper chamber, where the cooking occurs. The upper chambers are lined in steel and insulated with refractory brick which helps retain the high cooking temperatures for hours and helps to distribute heat evenly.

They’ve recently introduced a new model the Forno Toscano Margherita wood burning oven, it’s a single chamber oven that, once heated, can bake a pizza in as little as 2 minutes, check out the introductory video. The single chamber design allows you to cook directly next to the fire and heats up very, very fast.
