 An investment that goes beyond the kitchen

Choosing a wood-fired oven is not just a purchase: it's a lasting investment that enriches your property, your family and your quality of life.
Beyond its culinary performance, it becomes a meeting point, a place for sharing and togetherness where tradition and pleasure come together.
It's a choice that combines artisanal know-how, human warmth and authentic flavor, creating precious moments with friends and family, around the fire and its flavors. 

The Maximus Ovens focus on mobility, speed and convenience, while the brick Ovens rely on stability, thermal power and artisanal tradition — two choices that meet different needs, but share the same My-Barbecue standard of quality.

The Maximus and Maximus PRO Ovens

The Maximus Oven, built in stainless steel and aluminum, with fire bricks and a ceramic jacket as insulation, combines mobility, performance and energy efficiency. Thanks to its patented insulation, it quickly reaches temperatures above 400 °C, allowing perfect cooking of pizzas, breads and grilling. 
Its lightweight, weather-resistant structure reduces maintenance and makes it easy to move, ideal for terraces, food trucks or events.
The Ovens weigh from 55 kg to 194 kg depending on the size and model. 

Maximus Ovens are in stock and ready
ready to ship. All Ovens can be configured in two sizes: 

• 70 cm (70×70 cm exterior; 60×60 cm usable) 
• 100 cm (100×100 cm exterior; 90x90 cm usable) 

Four colors:

• Black
• Red
• Yellow
• Orange

And five different front textures:

• Brick 
• Red Brick
• Schist

The Maximus PRO version 

is equipped with a 1 mm thick stainless steel sheet, double that of the standard version (0.5 mm). This provides: 

• Better durability against heat and
  weather conditions.
• Increased resistance to corrosion and wear.

In addition, 

• The front is reinforced with an internal stainless steel structure
  and the chimney outlet is reinforced.
• A more robust structure for intensive use, ideal
  for professionals who use them on Pizza Trucks.
• A brushed stainless steel door (2mm) with window and

Ovens: Maximus Oven; Maximus Pro Oven 

Stands for Maximus and Maximus PRO Ovens - Mobility

For the Maximus 70 cm, three compatible stands are available, allowing for a mobile and elegant setup: Atlas, Welt, and Woody.
The Maximus 100 cm model, meanwhile, has two dedicated stands, Parma and Bello, offering enhanced stability and optimal mobility.
These stands make it easy to move the Oven while ensuring safety and ease of use.

Fire Brick Ovens

Fire brick ovens represent the sturdiest and most durable solution. Their significant mass (500 - 1000 kg) provides exceptional thermal inertia, ensuring consistent heat for several hours.
These models require more maintenance and a fixed installation, but offer slow, even cooking, perfect for baking bread in large quantities or for slow-cooked dishes.

My-Barbecue offers four main families of Ovens, each designed to meet different needs in terms of use, aesthetics, and budget. All models share the brand's DNA: patented insulation, premium materials, and sturdy construction built to last for decades.

5. The My-Barbecue wood-fired Ovens without chimney

The My-Barbecue Ovens without a chimney are insulated and designed to offer high-performance, even cooking, without heat loss.

Their closed architecture creates an internal circulation of hot gases, ensuring natural convection and a rapid rise in temperature. This design allows for continuous, wood-efficient cooking, while simplifying installation — no flue is required.

Operation and cooking strategy 

• Active phase (350°C – 450°C): active fire, door open — ideal for pizzas, grilling and fish.
• Slow phase (180°C - 250°C): residual heat, door closed — perfect for bread, slow-cooked dishes and pastries.
  
  Heat is gradually released by the refractory walls, allowing for gentle, even cooking.

Benefits:

• Maximum energy efficiency: no heat loss through draught.
• Easy installation: ideal for terraces, gardens or covered spaces.
• Versatility: cooking for up to 12 hours thanks to the slow decline in temperature.
• Minimal maintenance: natural pyrolytic cleaning, with no soot or flue to worry about.

Wood-fired ovens use three forms of heat transfer — radiation, conduction and convection — to create a unique cooking environment.

This combination ensures intense, stable and even heat, ideal for bread, pizzas and traditional dishes.

Radiation — Direct heat from the walls  

Once heated, the dome and walls of the oven emit infrared heat that browns and caramelizes food.

This radiation gives the golden, crispy crust typical of wood-fired cooking.

Conduction — Contact with the Refractory hearth  

Heat passes directly from the oven floor to the base of the bread or pizza.

This transfer creates crispy, well-cooked bottoms. Quality Refractory materials ensure excellent heat retention.

Convection — The natural circulation of hot air  

Air heated by the fire circulates inside the oven chamber, surrounding the food for even cooking.

The position of the chimney influences this airflow and thermal stability.

 Why it matters  

The combined action of these three thermal forces creates a style of cooking that electric or gas ovens simply cannot replicate:

• even, consistent heat,
• a perfect crust,
• authentic wood-fired flavors.

It is this synergy that makes wood-fired ovens a top choice for artisan bakers and Pizaioli, as well as traditional cooking enthusiasts.

1- Insulation with a ceramic coat loses its insulating capabilities if it is somehow stretched and pressed by an iron mesh and, then, with cement or other covering material. By compressing the materials it will create a "honeycomb" effect, which will prevent the ceramic coat from having the necessary insulating effect! MINERAL rock wool is, therefore, ideal for insulating brick wood-fired ovens.

2- Insulation other than MINERAL rock wool in brick and cement wood-fired ovens is extremely dangerous because if rain or moisture passes through this insulation, it will go directly into the vault. Moisture and fire will cause chemicals to come into contact with the food. This is the main reason for using MINERAL rock wool for the insulation of ALL our BRICK wood-fired ovens.
If you want to buy a wood-fired oven made of BRICKS with thermal insulation with a ceramic mantle, ALWAYS ask the manufacturer if the ceramic mantle has an ecological and biosoluble quality certification, but also if it is approved, certified and complies with food safety standards, since there are mantles that contain products harmful to human health such as ASBESTOS.

In the case of the MAXIMUS range, the insulation is made with a ceramic coat since the walls are narrower than a traditional brick oven.

In order not to lose its insulating effect, we use a special, compressed ceramic mantle blanket 3 cm thick with heat resistance up to 1260 degrees.

The equipment used by My-barbecue/Impexfire is environmentally friendly, biosoluble, and also approved, certified and compliant with food safety standards.

If you want to buy a wood-fired oven with ceramic thermal insulation, ALWAYS ask the manufacturer if the ceramic coating has a quality certification, since there are coatings that contain products harmful to human health such as ASBESTOS.

Refractory stone can retain heat much longer than stainless steel, so the internal temperature will be high enough for several different dishes.

Yes, our facades are durable, strong, and safe. They are made with an expansion joint to prevent major cracks on the facade. But to better understand, please watch this video demonstrating the assembly of a facade for our MAXIMUS 100 cm:

We stopped fixing them because at the time we were doing it, with some kind of springs, we had a lot of problems because of the expansion of the front of the MAXIMUS, which caused a lot of breakdowns on the thermometers.

In addition, when it rains or during winter, the new system is more practical: easy to remove and keep dry.

Due to all these problems, we stopped using these springs and it will continue to do so.

99% of users have no problems with their thermometers (none have failed so far out of over 15,000 units sold).

However, if you'd like us to send you a spring for the attachment, just ask our after-sales service. We do this at our expense. However, if you order one, your thermometer will lose its 3-year warranty.

Our brick wood-fired ovens feature a complete, patented insulation system developed by My-Barbecue. Thanks in particular to the use of mineral rock wool, heat is better retained, thermal loss is reduced, and wood consumption is better controlled, resulting in more even and efficient cooking.

Choosing a wood-fired Oven, with or without a chimney, is not a minor detail: it directly affects performance, installation and budget. While models with a chimney offer controlled draught and are suited to intensive use, wood-fired Ovens without a chimney win people over with their simplicity, more accessible cost and excellent thermal efficiency, thanks to reduced heat loss. Easy to install, with fewer technical and regulatory constraints, they are ideal for leisure use, homemade pizzas and bread, all while guaranteeing authentic wood-fired cooking. At My Barbecue, discover a complete range of chimney-free Ovens, powerful, reliable and perfectly suited to your outdoor project.

It all depends on your space and how you plan to use it. A portable oven offers more flexibility and simple installation, while a fixed masonry oven blends permanently into your outdoor space and retains heat longer.

Cooking over a wood fire is a very ancient technique that still thrives today. It's a very healthy and economical way to cook. Furthermore, the wood gives a special flavor to the food being prepared.

You can cook your food with the door open, thanks to the embers and the presence of the flame (pizzas, grills, gratins, socca), or with the door closed, without the flame – cooking by smothering (bread, pies, stews).

- Natural and ecological fuel;

- Cooking quality and special taste of pizzas;

- Natural cooking;

- Easy to use.

The kiln may exhibit slight variations in color due to its handcrafted nature. These differences contribute to the unique character of each product.

In cold countries we recommend this process for 5 days:

On the first day, maintain the fire temperature at 150ºC throughout the day and as long as possible during the night. Important note: Avoid letting the temperature rise above 150º/170º for the first two days. Although it is very difficult to maintain consistent fires at low temperatures, they are very important for proper drying.

2nd day - Repeat this process at 170º C;

3rd day - Repeat this process at 200º C;

4th day - Repeat this process at 230º C;

5th day - Repeat this process at 260º C.

Every night, close the oven door to keep moisture out and to preserve heat.

After turning on the oven for the 5th time, it will be ready to start cooking as well as to start the repair process.

For efficient burning and flavorful cooking, hardwoods are preferred:

•    Oak: burns slowly, releases a lot of heat and very little smoke. Excellent for long cooking.
•    Beech: produces a beautiful flame and steady heat. Perfect for wood ovens.
•    Ash: lights easily, clean burning. Ideal as a complement to oak.
•    Hornbeam: very calorific, few sparks. Less common but very effective.

To add an aromatic touch to your dishes, some woods provide subtle scents:

•    Olive: sweet and fruity aroma. Ideal for pizza, bread, or grilled dishes.
•    Vine: smoky and intense scent. Great for red meats or game.
•    Almond: slightly sweet. Works well with poultry or vegetables.
•    Apple and cherry: fruity and delicate scent. Perfect for cheeses or oven desserts.

Acacia:

•    Good burning duration
•    Intense heat
•    Few residues, depending on the type of acacia

To watch out for:

•    It does crackle — which can throw sparks
•    May produce more smoke if not well dried
•    Like all hardwoods, it’s best to ensure it is well dried to avoid clogging the firebox or chimney

Recommendation:

•    Use acacia alongside other woods like oak or beech to balance burning and safety
•    Avoid using resinous woods like pine, which cause more clogging

To avoid: resinous woods like pine or fir (because they clog chimneys and produce acrid smoke), as well as treated, varnished, or painted woods, which are toxic when burned.

Chef’s tip:  combine a calorific wood (like beech or oak) with an aromatic wood to add flavor and control heat well. And of course, always use well-dried wood, with less than 20% moisture.

The thermometers we supply with our wood-fired ovens are mechanical thermometers (clock type) which can indicate a lower temperature compared to the actual temperature.

On the one hand, because they take longer to react to temperature changes (during the temperature rise) and, on the other hand, because they have a margin of error which can go, in extreme cases, up to 150 degrees (demonstration video below).

To anticipate the return of sunny days and the desire to enjoy outdoor grilling, it's already time to think about buying your barbecue! Whether mobile or fixed, their installation requires special attention, both for safety reasons and to avoid any inconvenience with the neighborhood.

Looking to buy a fixed barbecue? At My Barbecue, you have the choice! However, some information is needed regarding its installation in your garden or on your terrace. In France and Belgium, where many customers order our wonderful products every day, our teams have reviewed the standards and laws that govern the subject so that the installation of your barbecue goes smoothly with the law and your neighbors. Find all our advice!

Regulations for installing a barbecue in France

Do I need permission?

While no regulations explicitly prohibit installation, please note that for areas less than 5m², no specific authorization is required to purchase your barbecue online from My Barbecue for installation in France. However, for areas between 5m² and 20m², a prior declaration is required if you are connecting your fixed barbecue to a larger structure. Before any construction, contact your town hall's urban planning department to check whether it's possible to install a barbecue on your property. This step is crucial, especially if you live in a forested area.

Where should I install my fixed barbecue?

You are free to choose the ideal location in your garden for your barbecue. Regarding the legal distance between a barbecue and neighboring homes, no specific legislation or regulation sets an exact distance. As for placing a barbecue against a wall, the rules vary depending on the nature of the property. If the wall is shared with a neighbor, the neighbor's prior consent is required. In the case of a private wall, the neighbor's consent is recommended but not required.

The Local Urban Planning Plan (PLU) of municipalities generally recommends a minimum separation of 3 meters between the device and the boundary of the neighboring property.

For safety reasons, it is generally recommended to maintain a perimeter of at least 1.5 meters without any obstacles around the barbecue to ensure safe use. Installing the barbecue near dry vegetation or wooden structures should also be avoided to prevent damage.

What about the smell of barbecue smoke?

It's also advisable to follow a few common sense rules, both for your own comfort and that of your neighbors. To begin, make sure the smoke doesn't disturb your dining area or your neighbor's by positioning the barbecue so that prevailing winds don't blow it into these areas.

The smell of a barbecue is generally not considered a nuisance to neighbors, unless the strong-smelling fumes occur daily and invade the house next door. Similarly, any ash that may be thrown onto the neighboring property may be considered a nuisance.

If you opt for a fixed barbecue under an awning or in a shelter, make sure to connect it to a smoke exhaust duct to ensure direct expulsion to the outside.

If there is a chimney, it is imperative that the flue extends 40 centimeters beyond any obstacles within a radius of 8 meters, whether the wall is shared or private. It is generally not recommended to lean a barbecue against a wall, as the fumes risk blackening it and can cause damage.

Regulations for installing a barbecue in Belgium

What height and distance should be respected?

In Wallonia, purchasing a fixed barbecue to install in your garden does not require a specific planning permit if the total height of the installation does not exceed 2.50 m. To comply with local regulations in the Walloon region, it is often required to maintain a minimum distance of 3 m between your barbecue and the fence demarcating the neighboring property. Before purchasing your fixed barbecue from My Barbecue, we advise you to check the existence of specific regulations in your municipality by simply going to the town hall to consult the municipal decrees in force. This will allow you to comply with the established guidelines and avoid any potential inconvenience with the neighbors.

Although barbecues may be permitted without specific restrictions, their use must not cause any inconvenience to neighbors, thus remaining a responsibility to be taken into account when carrying out these activities at home. A general trend suggests that purchasing a fixed barbecue to install in Belgium does not really present any constraints, provided that the neighbors are not bothered by the fumes and odors.
