A wood-fired oven is a type of cooking appliance that uses wood as its primary fuel source. These ovens are typically made of brick or stone and are designed to retain heat, allowing for high-temperature cooking. They are commonly used for baking bread, pizzas, and roasting meats, providing a unique flavor that comes from the burning wood. The heat in a wood-fired oven is generated by burning wood logs, which creates a radiant heat that cooks food evenly. This method of cooking is popular in many cultures and is often associated with traditional cooking techniques. Many chefs and home cooks appreciate the smoky flavor and crispy texture that wood-fired ovens can produce.
