Oven platforms

There are many options when it comes to building a platform for your Authentic Oven. Firstly you need to understand how to support the oven correctly. If your not building your own oven we have packages with platforms available in our shop

Where to support an Authentic Oven

An Authentic Oven has a self-supporting hearth. This means it only needs support on four corners or two sides. There is also a water drain under the ovens hearth that must not be blocked.

Platforms can be a fire hazard if made from timber or flammable materials so please inquire for further details specific to your requirements before building your platform. There are specific designs for wooden platforms with Authentic Ovens.

 

Important! The moisture the oven will absorb into the hearth must have a way of escaping. There is a drain hole under the hearth which must not be blocked off. The expansion of the steam when heating can cause hearth bricks to lift with pressure. Please follow these instructions carefully to avoid this issue.

Height of platform

The platform should be at least 1000mm from the ground to UNDER the oven. This means if your hearth is 105mm the cooking surface will result in a height of 1105mm.

The platform height may seem high but its necessary so when your cooking inside the oven your not crouched over trying to view deep in the oven. Being able to see the back of your oven makes everything easier.

We also manufacture wooden and stainless steel platforms to suit our ovens. Just visit our online SHOP to view the packages for sale.
