EarthStone Ovens Model 90

The Model 90 arrives as a set of refractory components rather than a pre-finished unit. This allows you to build a custom enclosure around the oven core, giving you the freedom to use stone, brick, stucco, or tile to match your specific kitchen aesthetic.

Yes, the Model 90 is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. However, because it is a wood-fired unit, indoor installation requires a professional-grade ventilation system and strict adherence to local building codes regarding fire safety and clearances.

Due to its heavy-duty, high-alumina refractory construction, this oven has significant thermal mass. While it takes longer to heat up than a thin-walled oven—typically 45 to 60 minutes—it retains that heat exceptionally well, allowing for consistent baking over several hours.

The industrial-grade hearth tiles are designed for high-heat durability. Maintenance is minimal: simply brush away ash and food debris after the oven has completely cooled, and avoid using water or harsh cleaning chemicals on the cooking surface.

Yes, the weight is substantial. You will need a reinforced concrete base or a structural support system capable of bearing the load. It is highly recommended to consult with a contractor or structural engineer to ensure your installation site can safely support the oven's weight.

Alumina is a key component in high-performance refractory materials because it provides superior heat resistance and structural integrity. An 80% alumina content ensures the oven can withstand repeated high-temperature cycles without cracking or degrading over time.
