Facade Tutorials:
Learn how to facade your Bistro oven! There are a virtually unlimited number of design possibilities available when integrating a Wood Stone oven into your kitchen. Because of their rectangular shape, Bistro Line ovens are often incorporated into a kitchen design by applying facade materials, such as tile, stone or brick, directly onto the oven exterior.
Storage Boxes
Wood Stone’s Storage Box is constructed of stainless steel. It slides easily into the oven stand and is easily removable for service access. The installed box rests on the oven stand, and the face of the box is flush to the base of the stand.

What sets Wood Stone apart from the competition (and why does it cost more?
For a detailed explanation of what makes Wood Stone special, please view our points of difference.
How much gas does a Wood Stone oven use?
The gas usage will vary greatly depending on your oven model, fuel type, usage, and even what you are cooking. However, as a reference point, a WS-MS-5-RFG-IR using natural gas rated at 188,000 BTU/hr (1.88therms/hr) with a temperature range of 550F-600F (285C-315C), with two hours of heat up time and four hours of cooking, might average around 675,000 BTU daily (6.75 therms/day or 1.125 therms/hr).
For more detailed information, check out the Average Gas Consumption page.
What is the difference between fuel types – is wood-fired really better?
Countless blind taste tests have confirmed for us that there is little appreciable difference in flavor. In our opinion, it is open flame (of any kind) and the stone itself that create the wonderful flavor profiles that have long been associated with wood fire. However, the theater and marketing power of a live wood fire cannot be underestimated.
