Professional-Grade Wood Fired Cooking with Innovative Dual Chamber Technology
The Fontana Forni Fornolegna Outdoor Oven represents the pinnacle of Italian wood-fired cooking engineering. Designed for serious outdoor chefs and culinary enthusiasts, this large-capacity wood burning oven features an expansive 80cm x 45cm cooking chamber with three cooking levels, allowing you to prepare multiple dishes simultaneously with restaurant-quality results.
Innovative Dual Chamber Design for Perfect Heat Distribution
Unlike traditional outdoor ovens, the Fornolegna's revolutionary dual chamber system separates the fire chamber from the cooking chamber, directing heat around your food for consistent, even temperature control throughout the entire cooking space.
How It Works:
- Dedicated fire chamber burns wood efficiently below the cooking area
- Heat circulation system wraps warmth evenly around the cooking chamber
- Convection-controlled cooking eliminates hot spots and cold zones
- Consistent temperature across all three cooking racks
- Optimal cooking conditions for baking, roasting, and slow-cooking
This innovative design means perfectly cooked food every time – from crusty artisan breads to succulent roasted meats, wood-fired pizza to delicate pastries.
Generous Three-Level Cooking Capacity
The Fornolegna's spacious 80cm x 45cm x 40cm cooking chamber provides exceptional versatility for outdoor entertaining:
Three adjustable cooking racks accommodate multiple dishes simultaneously
Cook for large gatherings – roast a turkey while baking sides
Multi-course meal preparation – appetizers, mains, and desserts together
Commercial-scale capacity in a residential outdoor oven
Vertical cooking space maximizes efficiency and fuel economy
The convection controlled cooking chamber with its versatile multiple racks allows you to embrace the convenience of cooking several dishes at once or multiple pizzas simultaneously.
Premium Construction Built to Last Decades
Handcrafted in Italy using solid-weld construction with 2.5 millimeters of 304 and 441 stainless steel reinforced with a 5-millimeter Corten steel panel and heavy-duty cast iron doors, the Fornolegna is engineered for permanent outdoor installation and years of reliable performance.
Premium Materials:
- 2.5mm thick 304 & 441 grade stainless steel for exceptional durability
- 5mm Corten steel reinforcement panels for structural integrity
- Heavy-duty cast iron doors with painted steel finish
- Rust-free stainless steel construction withstands all weather conditions
- Electro-galvanized metals with powder coating for outstanding protection against corrosion
Advanced Insulation:
- A full 12 centimeters insulation surrounds the cooking chamber to maximize heat retention and cooking efficiency
- This oven is so well insulated that the exterior is safe to the touch while at cooking temperature
- Energy-efficient operation reduces wood consumption
- Faster heat-up times and extended heat retention
This isn't just an outdoor oven – it's a permanent outdoor kitchen investment built to Italian commercial standards.

The Fontana Forni Difference
75+ Years of Italian Heritage
This oven represents the accumulation of knowledge and expertise from over 70 years of experience the Fontana Forni family has in making ovens whilst sticking to their traditional roots. With over 70 years of precision engineering and beautiful Italian craftsmanship, Fontana Forni have proven themselves to be a true testimony to great Italian tradition and cuisine.
Innovation & Quality
The dual chamber design represents decades of research and development. Fontana Forni doesn't just build ovens – they engineer cooking solutions that deliver professional results in residential settings.
Built to Last
At 250kg with solid-weld construction and premium materials, the Fornolegna is designed for permanent installation and generational use. This is an investment in outdoor cooking excellence that can be passed down through generations.
100% Made in Italy
Every component is manufactured, assembled, and tested in Italy to exacting quality standards. When you choose Fontana Forni, you're choosing authentic Italian craftsmanship backed by three generations of the Fontana family.
Perfect For:
- Serious home bakers requiring precise temperature control

- Large families and regular entertainers
- Restaurant-quality cooking in residential gardens
- Multi-course meal preparation
- Artisan bread bakers
- Wood-fired cooking purists
- Permanent outdoor kitchen installations
- Those upgrading from smaller outdoor ovens
Installation Considerations
Permanent Installation:
The Fornolegna's 250kg weight and commercial-grade construction make it ideal for permanent outdoor kitchen installations. Requires a suitable foundation or reinforced surface capable of supporting the substantial weight.
Chimney & Ventilation:
The stainless steel chimney system ensures proper draft and heat management. Adequate clearance from combustible materials required according to local building codes.
Fuel Storage:
Consider nearby storage for seasoned hardwood. The efficient 12cm insulation means less wood consumption than traditional outdoor ovens, but convenient fuel access enhances the cooking experience.
Weather Protection:
While rust-free materials and electro-galvanized, powder-coated finish withstand all weather conditions, a protective cover (available separately) helps maintain the pristine appearance of painted surfaces between uses.
