You can’t decide between buying a wood-fired or a gas-fired oven?

We can help you make up your mind.

If you can’t decide whether you want to buy a wood-fired or a gas-fired oven, then we made a comparison.

ADVANTAGES OF A WOOD-FIRED GARDEN OVEN

Flavour

Firewood imparts a really special flavour to food; bread cooked in wood-fired oven does stir up memories of good old days.

Respect for tradition

That’s the wood-fired oven’s added value. Firewood is the most ancient fuel: the Greeks invented the modern oven that Romans developed introducing clay bricks.

Cooking results

Firewood has excellent features when it comes to heating up the oven.

Alfa recommends the wood-fired oven to:

  • Do-it-yourselfers
  • People having a house with a garden
  • 4-member families
  • People who use the oven every week or every month
  • People who love baking pizzas, bread, roasts, and lasagna

ADVANTAGES OF A GAS-FIRED GARDEN OVEN

Quickness

The gas-fired oven reaches the working temperature in no time as you can set the flame at full power.

Easy-to-clean

The gas-fired oven is certainly cleaner than its wood-fired counterpart; just remove any loose food residue.

Simple and ergonomic

To operate a gas-fired oven, you only need to push the ignition button, turn the knob and wait for the oven to reach the right temperature. It’s not so simple with a wood-fired oven.

Alfa recommends the gas-fired oven to:

  • Dynamic people
  • City dwellers short of space or with a tiny balcony
  • Single persons or young couples
  • People who use it daily or frequently
  • People who like cooking pizzas, meat, or vegetables
