Dear Wood Fired Family,
Summer months means more time outside with Food, Fire, and Family. We are so glad that many people are able to come together again to invest in each other, and celebrate these precious things in life. We’ll be gearing up for our summer photo contest soon, so make sure to get those phones out, snap a photo or two to capture the moment, and be on the lookout for our submission form in the coming months. (You can also come engage with us over on Facebook and Instagram any time!)
Whether you are a new owner, a long-time member of our community, or still in the planning and dreaming stages, we welcome you to enjoy and forward this Newsletter to a friend. We love learning more about your journey, and sharing stories, ideas, and inspirations with you too.
Happy summer!

Family Time - A Father and Son Build Their Dream Oven
|
|
Last year’s call to stay home meant LOTS of extra family time. When the time together was starting to be a bit wearing, one young man (who is also a budding pizzaiolo) asked his dad if they could use the down time to create something big! His family agreed, and over the next several months, their Casa2G110 Pizza Oven was born. Jordan Friedman and his son captured their build experience in detail, and have compiled the photos into an awesome How-To video to help others build their own pizza oven projects.
Watch now to see one way of assembling and finishing a Forno Bravo modular oven kit, and enjoy this father-son bonding project that really took it to the next level!

Roasted Chicken - 2 Ways (For Brick and Steel Ovens)

Going back into our Community Cookbook, we found 2 recipes for this staple dish. The first from Chef Bart was written for our brick ovens. The second was adapted by Chef Carrie Nalley for our Bella steel pizza ovens. You can play with both versions and let us know which one works best for you!
