Pompeii Oven Instructions

throughout, it also demands that the oven's insulating

layers be able to stop the heat in that layer, in order to

hold it inside the oven.

There is a range of insulating products that you can put to

use:

For the dome, Insulfrax, a woven ceramic blanket, is

highly efficient, and takes up very little space. We provide

an ample amount of woven ceramic insulation with each

modular Forno Bravo oven, and we use Insulfrax in our

fully assembled Forno Bravo ovens.

Under the oven hearth, vermiculite concrete and

SuperIsol, an engineered insulating panel, both provide an

effective layer beneath the thermal layers of the oven

floor.

The graphic below shows how heat is retained in a pizza

oven, and how it migrates to the outer edge of the larger

mass of a bread oven. By filling the entire mass of the

oven dome and floor with heat, a well-insulated pizza oven

can cook pizza virtually indefinitely.
