LACK OF PORTABILITY |
Many people spend thousands of dollars on a traditional wood fired oven only to leave it behind when they move house. Koala Ovens are fully portable and can go with you for the rest of your days.

|
FIRE IN WITH FOOD |
Traditional wood fired ovens have the fire in with the food, resulting in uneven cooking temperatures and ash in the food. Koala Ovens have an under floor fire box which vents through the cooking chamber, giving a wonderful wood fired flavour to pizzas, roasts, meats etc without the ash contamination.

|
TEMPERATURE CONTROL |
With dome ovens it is extremely difficult to control the temperature as there is no draught control and it can take up to 60 minutes to alter the temperature up or down 100oC. Koala Ovens with the air draught control and large fire box can achieve this in minutes. This enables rapid temperature change from say, bread at 100oC to pizza at 300oC.

|
SLOW HEAT UP TIMES |
A traditional oven can take up to two hours to reach pizza temps (300oC – 350oC). Koala Ovens reach these temps in thirty minutes from cold and is the only wood oven that you can come home from work at 6.30pm and be cooking by 7.00pm!
|
|
SINGLE LEVEL COOKING |
Dome ovens have only one cooking level much of which is taken up by the fire. Koala Ovens are compact in size but have a high cooking capacity with the second shelf. The Koala Oven will cook 3 chickens at one time, 2 legs of lamb, 3 Scotch fillets, 8 small pizzas or 2 family size pizzas and the XL Double Oven has twice the capacity and can cook a whole suckling pig or small lamb. At 300oC they will cook a crisp pizza in 6-10 mins. They are also perfect for baking crusty Italian breads.

|
AFFORDABILITY |
Whilst some pre cast dome ovens are advertised at around $2,000, the final cost is considerably more as this price does not include freight, footings and masonry base or the cost of a crane at $300.00 per hour to lift it into your entertaining area. Most ovens end up costing $4,000 or more. Koala Ovens have no installation costs. A DIY brick oven, after hiring a brick layer and purchasing the high temperature ceramics will usually cost far more than a Koala Oven.
