Best Wood for a Brick Oven

         

    After setting up your wood-fired brick oven, that you purchased from Round Grove Products, you are now ready to fire up your oven for a nice homemade pizza. But wait! You don't want your pizza tasting smoky or smelling a bit musty because you were using the wrong type of firewood. 

    Not all wood is created equal when it comes to wood fired ovens and not all firewood contributes to a delicious flavor while cooking in the fire. If you were unaware, cooking in a wood fire oven is actually a healthier option than a regular oven. 

    With this in mind, it would be best not to use firewood that is a hazard to your health. Laminated woods, pressure treated and painted woods, or any woods that has chemicals are never to be used in a wood fired oven. 

    All the woods listed above have hazardous chemicals that can be toxic for humans. Be sure to also avoid woods that have high sap content, such as pine. Sap produces soot and creosote which coats the oven floor and is also bad for humans. 

    However, there is good firewood that you can use in your oven. The best woods for oven cooking are seasoned or dried hardwoods. One of the main reasons why hardwoods are a better choice is due to the fact that they are cleaner and last longer than softwoods. Look for maple, oak, ash and hickory hardwoods the next time you fire up the wood oven. 

    Are you a fan of fire enhancing the flavor of your food? Look no further than fruitwood if that's your jam. Fruitwood comes from fruit-bearing trees and can add a delicious flavor to your meal. These flavors can range from apple, cherry, and almond to chestnut, avocado and maple flavors. 

    An outdoor fire feature can be a game-changer for those looking for ways to enhance their home and outdoor cooking capabilities.
