Pizzas are as popular now as they have ever been. The same is true of barbecues. We need few excuses these days to enjoy alfresco dining, other than a fine day. The Rustico Brick oven is a well-insulated Outdoor Pizza Oven that has been made in Portugal, using traditional methods. Capable of reaching between 350 and 400 degrees, faster than other similar ovens thanks to its excellent thermal mass, the oven will also maintain the temperature for longer. The aluminium door is in two parts, measuring 39cm x 28cm, with a glass viewing window in the top section so you can keep an eye on things without having to open the door and lose heat. There is a hole for a rotisserie spit (available to purchase separately) in the door, with corresponding spigots inside the oven at the rear, ideal for spit-roasted chicken or other slow-roasting meat joints. There is an air inlet vent on the door which, along with the stainless steel chimney, will enable you to adjust the airflow inside the oven and regulate smoke with the choke. The chimney flue can be extended if required, to improve draft. The Rustico will require a suitable base to support it. Depending on whether you intend to include a working surface at the side, the base should be a minimum of 110cm square.
