Stone Core FAQs

The Gozney Stone Core Series is a modern range of geometric oven cores, designed to be built into a customised external enclosure. All segments are hand cast from Gozney CeramixTM, combining porosity and durability for a unique stone oven which cooks consistently at a variety of temperatures.

With the purchase of a Stone Core, you will receive the following: 

Build instructions/manual, enamelled cast iron archway and door, high grade specialist insulation wrap, high density calcium silicate underfloor insulate, specialist Gozney CeramixTMfloor and dome, puck system, stainless steel flue length, rain cap and a Gozney professional grade placement peel.

A 500mm, single wall flue length and rain cap is included, suitable for outdoor use. 

For indoor use, we recommend a 150mm, dedicated twin wall stainless steel flue system, ideally with a variable speed fan for the terminal end to assist with the draw of emissions.

Unfortunately, no. We do not supply and install the flue system, however we can advise on the type of flue required and provide a recommendation of a flue specialist for supply and installation.

Yes, they can be used both indoors and outdoors providing the outer enclosure and other building materials used to finish the core are suitable to that application.

Unlike the Black Edition Ovens, a stand is not included. Therefore, a solid, load bearing base must be built for the Stone Core to sit upon. Our Product specialists will supply you with a specification sheet and guide to building a base, prior to purchase/installation.

The oven and base must also be situated on a solid, load bearing surface. We would recommend that the floor finish is taken into account ensuring it is not placed above an unsuitable void (eg: on decking, above a basement where load capacity is insufficient/limited)

We can of course quote for an installation, based upon location, where required. Simply give us a call on +44(0)1425 204999 or fill in the online contact form and our Product Specialists will help you out.

The great thing about the Stone Core is that it is versatile and can be fuelled by either wood or gas. (Natural or LPG) 

It's also simple to switch between fuel types if you’d like the flexibility of choosing Gas for one fire up and wood for the next!

This gives you the option of cooking via traditional methods or for convenience. 

If you would like to know more, or have any questions about fuel, please give us a call on +44(0)1425 204999 or complete a contact form and we will come back to you. 

Whilst you can choose which fuel type you would like to cook with, we would not recommend using both gas and wood together for a number of reasons.  Firstly, wood and gas burn in a slightly different manner, meaning combustion of both within the same space can cause competition for oxygen within the chamber and a less than ideal convection of heat.  Secondly, the gas burner head will be exposed whilst in operation and during this time, there is potential for ash and debris from a wood fire to fall into the burner head and block the gas burner jets. Finally, when running two fuels at the same time, there is a possibility that the oven may creep over the ideal operating temperatures.  Whilst this is unlikely to damage the oven in any way, the large amount of insulation within the Core oven may mean that it takes some time to drop back to ideal temperatures.

Due to their larger size, we currently do not offer a delivery service for deliveries outside of the UK. This is something we are working hard to address, as we understand that customers are very excited to have one of these Gozney ovens.  If you are outside of the UK and would like to discuss availability then please contact a Product Specialist for further information.

The ovens are delivered in a palletised crate system, specially customised to protect the contents in transit as effectively as possible. The layout of the pallet has been designed to make unpacking ergonomic and to follow the order in which you need each component.

In addition to the manual, the pallet also comes with a sleeve that features a visual representation of how to assemble the oven,helping to make installation as easy as possible, even before you have started unpacking!

 

For information on pallet dimensions, simply give us a call on +44(0)1425 204999 or fill in the online contact form and our Product Specialists will provide you with the relevant information depending on oven size and extras.

We advise not to burn anything other than kiln-dried hardwood in Gozney ovens as it is not effective in generating sufficient heat and may create undesirable flavours for cooking. Also, the wood from the pallets and crates that the oven kit arrived in would contain screws, nails or other undesirable components.

This can depend on the finish/enclosure setting of the oven. Best practice is to follow the first fire protocol, as per the user manual and to give one of our product specialists a call if you require any more specific advice.

Yes, we have many customers who have installed Stone Core ovens into vans and trailers. We would recommend stainless steel strapping to secure the oven to a base or stand in the vehicle.

The heat up time will depend on a variety of factors including the size, fuel type and location (indoor/outdoors) of the oven.  For the most accurate guide, we would recommend speaking with one of our Product Specialists. You can get in touch by calling +44(0)1425 204999 or alternatively, by filling in a Contact form via the website.

Black Edition ovens are DEFRA Exempt for use in Smoke Controlled Zones and are also CE Certified.

This can really depend on your fuel type (Gas/Wood) and the quality of the fuel (if using wood).

The oven will typically heat between 200 – 500oc depending on your desired method and the items being cooked.  For example, Neapolitan pizzas can be cooked very quickly at temperatures in excess of 400oc, whereas bread or meat joints will be prepared at much lower temperatures (100-300oc).

One of our product specialists would be happy to tell you all that you need to know about the Stone Core range.
