The Original Portable Wood-Burning Oven Since 1978 - A Timeless Italian Classic
This is the original portable wood-burning oven, introduced in 1978 by the Fontana family and still in use across Italy by families who love to gather outdoors for deliciously prepared meals. Today, it remains one of our best-selling ovens because it combines beautiful Italian design with versatility and functionality. Use it to prepare brick-oven pizza, bread, roasts, chicken, vegetables and more. With the Gusto, there are no limits — if you can imagine it, you can cook it to perfection.
The Great Fontana Classic - Renewed for Modern Cooking
The Gusto was introduced 20 years ago and now features a delicate restyling without forgetting the traditional features that have made this product the dream for all cooking enthusiasts. This is not just an outdoor oven – it's a culinary legacy that has delighted generations of Italian families.
Premium Construction:
- Built in stainless steel and anthracite painted steel livery
- Cooking chamber on 3 levels of stainless steel and refractory plates
- Double ventilation and lighting for optimal visibility
- Solid-welded construction using 2.5 millimeter of 304 & 441 stainless steel
- Reinforced with a 5-millimeter Corten steel panel and heavy-duty cast iron doors
- Electro-galvanized metals before powder-coating for superb corrosion protection
Complete Package Included:
- Grills and cooking pans
- Stainless steel chimney
- Side and front worktop
- Fire tool
- Thermometer and timer
Innovative Dual Chamber Design for Perfect Results
Our innovative dual chambered design directs heat from the fire chamber around the cooking chamber providing consistent and even temperature for optimal cooking. The convection controlled cooking chamber has multiple racks allowing you to cook several dishes at once.
How It Works:
- Separate fire chamber burns wood efficiently below the cooking area
- Heat circulates evenly around the cooking chamber
- Convection-controlled cooking eliminates hot spots
- Consistent temperature across all three cooking levels
- Multiple racks allow simultaneous cooking of different dishes
This intelligent engineering means perfectly cooked food every time – from artisan breads to succulent roasts, wood-fired pizza to roasted vegetables.
Superior Insulation & Temperature Control
A full 12 centimeters insulation surrounds the cooking chamber to maximise heat retention and cooking efficiency. This oven is so well insulated that the exterior is safe to the touch while at cooking temperature.
Advanced Temperature Management:
- 12cm of insulation on all sides for maximum efficiency
- Exterior remains safe to touch during operation
- Stainless steel chimney damper for draft control
- Sliding cooking chamber damper for precise temperature adjustment
- Dual damper system provides maximum heat retention
- Reduced wood consumption compared to traditional ovens
The smallest details can make a big difference. Fontana Forni ovens include these precision controls for maximum heat retention and precise temperature control.
