Description
The Fire Deck 8645 features a standard door opening 56 inches wide x 10 inches high. The cooking surface is 58 inches wide, and 38 inches deep, resulting in 15 square feet of usable deck space. The dense, high temperature ceramic formulation of which the hearth and dome are cast creates a "deep heat sink" within the chamber of the oven. The chef is protected from the heat of the chamber by the ceramic glass door/heat shield. The heat shield glides smoothly and easily using a simple counterweight, and can be safely left in any position. Whether it is open or closed, the operator and the customers can see into the brightly illuminated chamber. The Fire Deck is unique among deck ovens in that the oven operates efficiently with the door open or closed.
Wood Stone ovens are built differently. The Fire Deck 8645 is no exception. To learn more about how we build our ovens differently, please review our Points of Difference page.
he Fire Deck is available in a variety of burner and fuel configurations. The standard unit has two manually adjustable walls of radiant flame (one at each end), as well as a thermostatically controlled gas infrared burner beneath the oven deck. Alternatively, any or all of these burners can be omitted to accommodate the use of wood as a fuel source. The ovens are constructed so that future addition of any burner (previously omitted) is possible.
The 1,200-pound, monolithic, cast-ceramic floor sits on 4 inches of rigid insulation and is poured to a thickness of 4 inches. The 1,300-pound, monolithic dome is also cast to a thickness of 4 inches. The hearth and dome are connected by a carefully tensioned stainless steel exoskeleton, which ensures structural integrity and long life. The oven's ceramic dome is wrapped with at least 2 inches of spun ceramic fiber insulation and enclosed (top and sides) with 16-gauge steel. The body of the oven rests on a 10-gauge steel pan welded to a heavy-duty frame. Stainless steel storage compartments (shown) are optional and can be provided in the support frame.
The Fire Deck should be vented using an exhaust hood constructed and installed in accordance all relevant local and national codes. Fire Deck models with a -W in the model number must be vented for solid-fuel (in accordance with NFPA 96). The oven is ETL Listed to be installed with a minimum of 1 inch side clearance to combustible construction.

Cooking & Operation
The secret of stone-hearth cooking is the Stone. The single-piece floor and dome of the oven are made from specially formulated high-temperature refractory "stone". Our unique construction method and materials produce a deep heat sink (storage) effect that guarantees floor temperature. A guaranteed floor temperature insures consistent cooking zones and consistent product throughout the day.
We know this is the world’s best pizza oven, but can I do more than pizzas? Absolutely! Regardless of the cooking application -- searing/sauté, roasting, baking pizza -- it can all be done at the same time in the same oven, holding in moisture and giving your product wonderful color and texture. For recipe ideas, visit our Cooking section.

Fuel Configurations
Gas: RFG-IR
The dual-temperature gas configuration combines a radiant flame gas burner with an under floor infra-red gas burner to provide tremendous floor temperature management capabilities. (Note: RFG-IR can be configured for optional wood burning, adds "W" to model number)
Gas: RFG
A radiant flame only gas oven utilizes radiant flame burner to heat the stone hearth. (Note: RFG can be configured for optional wood burning, adds "W" to model number)
Wood: W
A dry hardwood fire inside the oven provides all the heat needed for heating the stone-hearth. For heavy production scenarios, an under-floor infra-red burner is available (changes model number to IR-W)
Coal: CL
Coal is considered a solid fuel. Wood Stone Coal-Fired Ovens also come equipped with a radiant flame gas burner (RFG) with an under floor infra-red (IR) gas burner to provide tremendous floor temperature management capabilities.

Why Wood Stone?
Wood Stone builds ovens differently. Our floors and domes are single-piece and they are thicker. The materials we use are proprietary and the manufacturing techniques are absolutely unique. Our domes have more thermal headspace. We offer infrared under floor burners. Our ovens are more space efficient. We offer more standard options than any other manufacturer. All of these differences add up to significant benefits for you, the oven owner. Read through our 10 key Points of Difference and learn why these differences will help you make more money.

3. Can the oven operate on gas only and is the oven configurable with an under floor assist burner? (The Wood Stone Answer)
4. Is the dome single or multi-piece? (The Wood Stone Answer)
5. Does the dome have a high or low ceiling? (The Wood Stone Answer)
6. How is the oven insulated and how much space will it take in my kitchen? (The Wood Stone Answer)
7. Where is the thermocouple placed? (The Wood Stone Answer)
8. Does the oven come assembled or is a skilled professional required to put the oven together? (The Wood Stone Answer)
9. Where is the oven made and who is the manufacturer? (The Wood Stone Answer)
