Wood Fired Oven

Send us a text

Join me as I go exploring the multiple factories at The Firebrick Company in Australia. They manufacture some of the best Wood Fired Ovens on the planet. I even have their D105 brick oven in my backyard!
Ben Guilford was kind enough to give me the full in-depth tour. We had a lot of fun - as you will soon discover. Take a listen to one of the most knowledgeable guys in the industry.
This is part 1 of a 2 part mini series. This episode is also a masterclass in using your Wood Fired Oven and how Ben and his team manufacture some of the best Wood Fired Ovens around. A true behind the scenes experience of an amazing manufacturing company.
Thanks to his wonderful wife and dedicated staff who pop in on the show to say hi! Stay tuned for part two of this factory tour coming up soon.
