Our Difference

Not all wood-fired ovens are created equal.

Many ovens look similar, but choosing the right oven makes all the difference. That’s why we offer Four Grand-Mere ovens hand-crafted by French master craftsmen. We’ve tried many ovens, and we believe the Four Grand-Mere ovens are better and more versatile than any other ovens in the market.

Over 35 years of excellence
Handcrafted low brick dome
25% less wood consumption with 50% more heat retention
Crafted with 100% all-natural refractory clay bricks
Uniquely versatile oven design

Our 1st Difference: The Floor

Typical ovens use a 1″ to 2″ brick tile placed directly on the bottom insulation to save money. This technique offers limited thermal mass and therefore, limited cooking capacity and less heat retention.

We take it a step further with one of the only 3-1/4″ thick oven floors on the market. We place 1-1/4″ baker tiles on a 2″ concrete bed to allow greater thermal mass and ensure superior cooking.

The 2nd Difference: Versatility

Historically, ovens were more versatile than modern convection ovens. Of course they were used to bake, but they were also used day in and day out to grill, smoke, and dry food. Our ovens are very good at performing all of these cooking functions.

Grilling. The large opening allows you to grill while your oven is still heating up.
Smoking. The shut off valve lets you control the air flow and allows the oven to be used to smoke food.
Drying. The thick walls and highly efficient insulation retain heat for days. It takes up to 5 days for an oven to completely cool off. Once the oven drops to about 160°F, you can dry fruits or vegetables, a 3 to 24 hour process that our ovens can handle with their long heat retention time.
Baking. The shape of our ovens (round and low) gives our ovens the best baking characteristics on the market. You don’t want your oven dome to be too high because the heat needs to surround what you are baking. Looking to bake a Neapolitan pizza? A low dome oven gives you the best results.

The 3rd Difference: Superior Building Materials

Traditional and modern technology, all in one.

Brick. For its natural beauty, resistance to thermal shock, and exceptional thermal characteristics, the fully bricked dome makes our oven 20% more efficient than regular concrete domes.
The aggregate. Crushed refractory bricks mixed with alumina-fortified cement, reinforced with metal fibers. Superior materials make the base for our refractory concrete.
The concrete. Our concrete withstands temperatures over 2200°F/1250°C. The metal fibers prevent cracking and fissures, and each material is analyzed thoroughly to make sure it is appropriate for baking.

The 4th Difference: The Shape

Specially-designed form.

Round and low. Our shape ensures perfect uniform cooking and efficient heat radiation, as the dome is close to the food.
Perfect shape to make a Neapolitan-style pizza.
Looking for more height to bake larger dishes? We offer a raised option that increases the dome and door height by 3″.

And more....

Wood Is Economical

Wood is the cheapest form of combustible energy.
The modern parabolic shape and state-of-the-art exterior insulation of the Four Grand-Mere ovens allow them to use very little wood. Wood consumption is reduced by 30% compared to traditional oven designs.
In an 950 B brick oven, 20 lbs of dry wood is enough to obtain a uniform temperature of 600°F.

Certified for Commercial, Residential, Indoor, & Outdoor Use

For your safety and simplicity of installation, all of the Four Grand-Mere wood-fired ovens we offer have been tested and listed to UL 2162-2001, UL 737-2011, ULC-S627-00, and NSF ANSI 4-2007e by OMNI-Test Laboratories.

Report Number: 508-D-01-2
