Fuel Choices

Gas vs. wood, what's the better choice? Our answer is always...well, that depends. 

Hearth oven flame

GAS

While wood was the norm, Wood Stone responded to the needs of its customers with a modern spin on the Old World cooking style by introducing gas (either natural gas or propane) to the mix. Gas provides the same high heat AND the same great flavor profiles, but with the convenience and control that are not available with wood-only ovens.

WOOD

The use of wood as a fuel source goes back to the roots of stone hearth cooking and was the standard heat source for thousands of years. Wood Stone was founded using wood-only designs and we have over 20 years of experience in the use of wood as a heat source.

But why not have both? If you long for the ambiance of a wood-fired oven but are looking for the convenience and control that gas offers, Wood Stone Home ovens (except the gas-only Bistro Home 3030 & 4836) can be configured to burn wood, gas or a combination of both.
