Know before you buy
The oven is designed for efficiency and can reach its maximum temperature of 750°F in approximately 30 minutes, depending on the quality and dryness of your wood.
Yes, the oven's convection environment is highly versatile. Beyond Neapolitan-style pizzas, it is excellent for roasting meats, baking artisan bread, cooking vegetables, and preparing desserts that benefit from a smoky, wood-fired flavor.
Not necessarily. While it can be installed on a custom outdoor countertop, it comes with a dedicated cart that allows for flexible positioning in your outdoor space.
The Marinara features an adjustable damper that allows you to control airflow and manage the internal temperature precisely, while the built-in thermometer helps you monitor heat levels throughout the cooking process.
The oven measures 39" x 42" x 45 1/2" high, and when placed on the included cart, the total height increases to accommodate the base. Ensure you have a level area of at least 40" x 45" to safely support the 385 lb. weight of the unit.
The oven is fully insulated for maximum heat retention, which helps keep the exterior temperature lower than the interior. However, as with any wood-fired appliance, the stainless-steel exterior will get hot, so caution is advised.
