The Chicago Brick Oven CBO-500 DIY Kit features a low, igloo-shaped dome which is modeled from ancient Italian wood-fired oven designs. The design of the oven creates a FlameRoll, using the vent to pull the flame horizontally across the top of the dome and then vertically back down the side, creating temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit for superior cooking. The special shape of the Chicago Brick Oven CBO-O-KIT-500 reduces cold spots and ensures that the radiant heat is used efficiently. The oven has a 27-inch x 22-inch cooking area, creating over 600 square inches of cooking surface. Combining traditional brick oven design with modern engineering, this outdoor pizza oven is made from refractory cement and stainless steel fibers. Chicago Brick Ovens are highly sought after because they are certified to UL standards. You or a professional contractor can create the perfect design to showcase your outdoor pizza oven in non-combustible materials. The CBO-500 DIY pizza oven kit comes as a complete package with the oven, installation kit, infrared thermometer, pizza peel, and cleaning brush.

FlameRoll Technology

Chicago Brick Oven FlameRoll Technology

The proprietary FlameRoll Technology of any Chicago Brick Oven combines high heat and a beautiful aesthetic for the ultimate outdoor cooking experience. True to traditional Italian wood-fired ovens, the Chicago Brick Oven design features a low, igloo-shaped dome. The FlameRoll Technology creates a vacuum for concentrated heat up to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit! Unlike other ovens that trap heat at the dome ceiling, Chicago Brick Oven's vent pulls the flame horizontally across the top of the dome and then vertically down the sides, to create higher temperatures for superior cooking. Combined with a modern and efficient flue system, the high-performance design allows you to cook with radiant heat, convection, and conduction. That means bubbling cheeses, flaky crusts, and expertly seared meats.
