Fontana Forni Maestro 60

Plan a bake with this oven

A compact outdoor gas oven with a 24 × 16 inch cooking floor and a 29,000 BTU/h burner. Fontana rates it to 900°F, about 482°C, and lists room for two 12-inch pizzas. The 8-inch chamber height suits pizza and shallow cookware. At 120 lb, it is a countertop installation; the cart is optional. Saputo biscotto stones can replace the standard floor.

Pros

  • The 24 × 16 inch floor gives two pizzas a side-by-side layout.
  • A 120 lb countertop body is lighter than Fontana's larger residential gas models.
  • A compatible Saputo floor is available for hotter Neapolitan-style bakes.

Cons

  • The 8-inch chamber height limits tall cookware.
  • A countertop or optional cart is required to support the 120 lb oven.

How the calculator uses this oven

  • Temperature and bake time. It reaches 482°C. At the default hydration, the calculator bakes Traditional Napoletana (60%) at 455°C on the deck for about 85 seconds, and Pizza Classica (65%) at 278°C on the deck for about 6 minutes.
  • Baking surface. The calculator assumes the stock cordierite stone. Swap in a biscotto and Traditional Napoletana takes about 90 seconds instead of 85 seconds.
  • Hydration for this oven. It reaches the heat Traditional Napoletana wants, so the calculator keeps the style's 58–65% hydration.
  • Baker corrections. Bake times learn from bakers' reports on this oven. A correction starts once at least 5 successful bakes from 3 different bakers share the same style and surface.
