The materials
Our manufacturing brings together tradition and innovation…

- Brick, for aesthetic reasons and because of its resistance to thermal shock.
- The "chamotte" refractory rock mixed with alumina-fortified cement and reinforced with metal fibres constitutes the base of our refractory concrete.
- The concrete withstands temperature of over 1250°C and the metal fibres prevent cracking and fissures.
Each material is analysed to confirm it is not harmful and usable for the baking.
Your oven will last for generations.
The form
A special round form

- Round and low, the Four Grand-Mere oven assures perfect uniformity of cooking, efficient heat radiation as well as easy operation for individual homeowner.
Strength
- Materials withstand temperature of over 1250°C.
- The materials are frost-proof. They can be set outside in regions with temperatures below freezing.
- Thanks to the quality of our materials, your oven will last for generations.
Economy
Wood is the cheapest form of combustible energy.

- With its parabolic shape and exterior insulation a Grand Mere oven uses very little wood. Wood consumption is reduced by 30 % relative to classic oven design.
- In a “Campagnard“ oven, 10 Kgs of dry wood are enough to obtain a uniform temperature of 300°C.
Ecology
- Wood is a clean energy source and it is renewable
- It does not threaten the energy reserves of the planet.
- The burning of wood does not contribute to the warming of the planet.
- The materials used in the construction of our ovens are inert and non-polluting.
