Specifications
Built for serious heat.
Refractory materials absorb, hold and radiate heat evenly, giving you the crisp, leopard-spotted crust a kitchen oven can't.
Ideal cooking temperature
The sweet spot for blistered, perfectly cooked pizza.
Heat-up time
Build a small fire, grow it gradually, and the dome turns white when ready.
External dome temp
Insulation keeps the heat inside, where it belongs.
Size
1000 mm left to right, 1150 mm front to back. Movable, so it can go where the party is.

How It Works
From order to first pizza.
Order
Choose your colour and tell us your area. We confirm your order, delivery and installation quote by email.
Delivered
Your oven arrives in 5–7 working days anywhere in Gauteng, or according to stock on hand. Professional installation is available.
Cure
A simple 5-day curing schedule draws moisture out of the refractory so your oven lasts for years.
Cook
Pizza, bread, roasts, veg — fire it up and gather everyone around.
Essential first step
The 5-day cure
Moisture is trapped in the refractory material during manufacturing. Small, gradually larger fires over five days drive it out gently. Never rush it, and never shock the oven with a sudden big fire or rapid cooling.
The best seat in the house is outside.
Long summer evenings, the smell of woodsmoke, and pizza straight from the fire. That's what we build every Ferno Vera for.

Care & Safety
Built to last.
Safe temperature range
Real firebricks and full insulation rated up to 500 °C. The built-in thermometer shows you exactly where you are, so you can cook at 350–400 °C with confidence.
Good to know
Hairline cracks are normal
- Small hairline cracks in refractory material are expected and don't affect performance.
- The dome and floor are deliberately not bonded, allowing natural expansion.
- Protect from rain and keep covered when not in use.
Safe operation
Fire is serious
- Never leave a burning fire unattended.
- Only dry, untreated hardwood. No accelerants.
- Keep children and pets away while in use.
- Let it cool naturally. Never water or forced air.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Can't find what you need? Email sales@fernopizza.co.za or call 072 554 0632 and we'll get back to you.
Where do you deliver?
We currently deliver within Gauteng only. Delivery is quoted per order via courier, and we'll confirm the cost for your area when you place your order.
How long does delivery take?
5 to 7 working days from your confirmed order, or according to stock on hand. We'll confirm your delivery date when we confirm your order.
Do you install the oven?
Yes. Professional installation is available at an additional cost depending on your location. Just select it in the order form and we'll quote you.
What do I need to place it on?
A standard outdoor kitchen counter or a standalone stand. The supporting surface must be solid and properly insulated. Please ask us if you're unsure.
Can I get it in a custom colour?
Yes, any colour. We'll send you our physical colour chart so you can see the finish in real life before we make your oven.
Why do I have to cure it?
Refractory materials hold moisture from manufacturing. Curing over 5 days slowly removes it. Skipping or rushing curing can cause serious cracking and voids your warranty.
What wood should I use?
Dry, untreated hardwood only. Never use treated wood, petrol, paraffin or any accelerants.
