Forno Bravo Vesuvio wood stove, with decorative stand

Naples style oven for backyard baking. These beautiful and innovative ovens feature a traditional central vent system where the hot air exiting the oven is directed back over the oven dome and then vented through a stainless steel chimney pipe in the center of the dome. This ventilation method heats the oven dome evenly and efficiently, maintaining the high temperatures required to bake Pizza Napoletana.

Vesuvio ovens feature a beautifully tiled outdoor enclosure and an optional decorative powder-coated steel stand. The stand is not included in the basic price. These handcrafted ovens are available in four different sized cooking areas; 32 inches, 36 inches, 40 inches and 44 inches. The Vesuvio oven features a powder-coated steel door with oven thermometer.

Having an authentic Naples-style wood-burning oven has never been easier. The Vesuvio is Forno Bravo's most popular, artfully assembled residential pizza oven. They offer the optimal balance between oven size and mass as well as heating time and efficiency. Their central vent design ensures the best heat retention and distribution possible in a fully assembled oven. Vesuvio ovens are perfect for weekend entertaining and weeknight cooking for your family.

Napolino customization options

Vesuvio ovens feature four unique technologies:

• The Vesuvio Furnace's 2-inch dome is manufactured from a proprietary refractory material with a density of 142 pcf and a strength of 8,230 psi using a two-sided vibration molding process - the same material and process we use for our commercial furnaces. It is a remarkably hard and durable material that is superior to old-fashioned clay ovens.
• The Vesuvio oven floor is made from 2″ commercial grade baking tiles (2,700 psi compressed and oven fired at 2,650°F) with cordierite – for superior pizza baking and durability.
• Each Vesuvio oven is equipped with 3″ high-tech ceramic insulation and 2″ ceramic bottom insulation, eliminating the need for old-fashioned and inefficient vermiculite or perlite.
• The Vesuvio center vent system captures the hot air exiting the oven, returns it over the oven dome, and then vents it through a stainless steel chimney pipe in the center of the dome, providing the best fuel efficiency and heat retention available.
