Alfonso Forni Flame Bar: elevate your cooking experience for 4 and 6 pizza ovens

For true wood-fired cooking enthusiasts who own an Alfonso Forni 4- or 6-pizza oven, the Steel Flame Guard Bar is a must-have accessory. This accessory, designed for direct fired ovens, has been developed to offer superior control over the flame and heat, allowing you to make the most of the ample capacity of your oven without compromising on quality. Forget worries about burnt edges or uneven cooking; with the flame guard bar, every batch is transformed into an opportunity to achieve culinary perfection, unleashing your creative potential and guaranteeing results as a true master pizza maker or chef.

Key Benefits: Optimisation and Control for Great Cooking

The Alfonso Forni Flame Guard Bar is not a simple complement, but a strategic element that enhances the efficiency and versatility of medium-sized ovens. Its integration greatly improves heat and space management, making every cooking session more productive and rewarding.

• Advanced Live-Flame Protection: In larger ovens, flame management can be a challenge. This bar acts as a protective shield, deflecting intense heat and direct flame away from your preparations. This allows you to bake at high temperatures, ideal for pizzas and breads, without the risk of localised burns or unwanted blackening, preserving the integrity and aesthetics of each dish.
  
  
• Homogeneous Heat Distribution: The design of the flame bar promotes a more balanced circulation of heat within the cooking chamber. This means that, even in a spacious oven, heat is spread more evenly, reducing hot and cold spots and ensuring that every pizza, roast or pan cooks consistently. You can maintain a robust flame for rapid temperature recovery, while the bar modulates the heat flow for perfect results and ideal browning every time.
  
  
• Maximising Cooking Space: For Alfonso's 4 or 6-pizza ovens, every square centimetre is precious. The flame guard bar allows the wood and embers to be confined to a defined area, freeing up a significant portion of the refractory floor. This additional space is essential for baking several pizzas at the same time, handling food easily or using large pans, optimising the production capacity of your Alfonso Forni oven.
  
  
• Easy Cleaning and Maintenance: Acting as a physical barrier, the bar prevents ash, wood residue and sparks from scattering on the cooking surface. This not only greatly simplifies post-firing cleaning, but also helps to preserve the integrity of the refractory bricks, reducing wear and tear and prolonging their service life, keeping the oven in optimal condition with less effort.
  
  
• Increased Safety in Use: Containing embers and flame in a controlled area significantly reduces the risk of accidental spillage or uncontrolled fire movement inside the kiln. This feature provides greater peace of mind, allowing you to concentrate on preparing your food with the confidence that you are operating in a safer environment.
  
  

Specific Features: Robustness and Functionality

The Alfonso Forni Flame Bar is an example of practical engineering, designed to withstand the most extreme conditions and offer consistent performance over time.

• High Quality Material: Made entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel, this bar is synonymous with durability and strength. AISI 304 steel is chosen for its exceptional ability to withstand extremely high temperatures, resist corrosion and oxidation, and maintain its hygienic and structural properties even after intensive use. It is safe for food contact and easy to clean, guaranteeing unrivalled reliability.
  
  
• Optimised dimensions for medium-large ovens: With measurements of 60x10 H 12 cm, the bar is specifically dimensioned to fit perfectly with Alfonso Forni Model 4 and 6 Pizze ovens. This precision ensures that the bar blends harmoniously into the cooking chamber, providing an effective barrier between the flame and the food without obstructing the baking and oven operations, maximising the efficiency of the oven.
  
  
• Perforated Structure for Ideal Combustion: The surface of the bar is strategically perforated. These holes are not an aesthetic detail, but a crucial functional component that allows controlled air flow to the flame. This optimal ventilation is essential for efficient and clean combustion, reducing soot build-up and promoting a more stable, high-performance flame, which translates into better cooking quality and less oven maintenance.
  
  

An Investment in the Future of Your Kitchen

This accessory is an ideal complement to maintain the performance of your oven over the long term, reflecting Alfonso Forni's philosophy of offering products that are a true "lasting investment.

Frequently Asked Questions / Usage Tips

To maximise the benefits of the Flame Guard Bar and ensure its long life, here are some practical tips for use and maintenance.

• Optimal positioning of the Flame Bar:

  The Flame Bar is designed to be placed strategically within the cooking chamber of the direct fired wood oven. Its ideal placement is between the flame/brace and the area where the food will be cooked. Its primary purpose is to contain the wood and embers, separating them from the food, and to deflect the direct flame to avoid unwanted burns. It is essential to ensure that a small gap is left between the bar and the oven wall or embers to allow oxygen to feed the flame in a controlled manner, ensuring efficient combustion. It is important to note that the bar should not be placed under the firestone or at the bottom of the oven, but vertically or slightly inclined, acting as a containment for the fire.

• Simplified Maintenance and Cleaning:

  Thanks to its high-quality stainless steel material, cleaning the Flame Bar is extremely easy and requires minimal effort. Once the oven has cooled completely, the bar can be easily removed and cleaned with a brush to remove any ash or soot residue. For more stubborn stains, a damp cloth and a mild detergent specifically for stainless steel will be sufficient to restore the shine. It is advisable to avoid using abrasive products or metal sponges that could scratch the surface and compromise the aesthetics and durability of the steel.

• When to use the Flame Bar?

  The Flameguard Bar is particularly advantageous in various cooking situations, especially when making use of the oven's large dimensions. It is indispensable when you want to bake several pizzas at the same time, prepare roasts or bread that require even cooking protected from direct flame. This accessory allows a lively flame to be maintained for rapid temperature recovery between cooking, which is crucial when preparing large quantities of food in succession, without compromising the quality or consistency of the food. Its presence optimises heat control, making the cooking experience more predictable and the results more consistent, even under heavy use.
