Fire Deck Ovens - Doing It Yourself

Important Installation Note: Wood Stone uses Hardi Backer cement board if you order your oven “facade ready”. Please be advised, that a layer of Thin Set or an approved adhesive for high heat needs to be applied to the cement board before the facade material, i.e.; tile, bricks, stone, etc.

These illustrations refer to an installation of a Fire Deck 8645. The Fire Deck 8645 and Fire Deck 6045 are available in a variety of finishes, Stainless Steel (standard), Factory Prepared for Field Facade Application (Facadable), or Color Powder-Coated.

Step 1. The Base Oven Figure 1 represents a standard Fire Deck 8645 oven with the optional S/S storage boxes. The 8645 arrives with a S/S Front, galvanized sides and top, and black painted stand. Many customers choose to install the oven with this finish as a "stand-alone" unit. For more details on how the oven arrives from the factory, please visit our Unloading & Moving page.	Figure 1

Step 2. Cement Board Customers seeking a "facaded" look, such as tile or brick, should incorporate a non-combustible underlayment. This can be accomplished one of two ways:
Option 1: Do-It-Yourself. As referenced in Figure 2, order the Fire Deck with Standard Finish and apply Wonderboard, Hardibacker, DUROCK, or equivalently listed non-combustible cement board yourself. Word to the wise: This can be a time consuming adventure since cutting cement board and screwing it to the S/S underneath can be difficult. Care must be taken to avoid covering any of the critical access or service points. To avoid these concerns, please consider option II (see below). Option II: Order it "Facadable" As referenced in Figure 3, order the Fire Deck Factory Prepared for Field Facade Application, or "Facadable". With this option we apply all the non-combustible board so that when it arrives you and your contractor can focus just on applying your finished surface. The area prepared for facading can be on just the front, or on the sides and or rear as well upon specification. Note: An added benefit of the Facadable Fire Deck is the service panels or storage boxes and other key edges are raised, leaving no gaps between the finished edge and the frame.	Figure 2 Figure 3

Step 3. The Finished Product The facadable Fire Deck can be finished with any decorative material that can be easily affixed to the wall surface such as tile, stucco, sheet metal, veneer brick etc, and that does not interfere with the operation of the heat-shield. Please keep in mind that the thickness of finish material applied to the oven cannot exceed 1/2 inch (1 inch including non-combustible underlayment) or it will interfere with operation of the heat shield. Note: It is necessary for the proper operation of our ovens that the Radiant Flame Control Knob be fully accessible after all finishing is completed.
