The Igneus Classico reaches cooking temperature in just 10–15 minutes and can achieve a maximum temperature of 500°C — hot enough to cook two 12" pizzas in 60–80 seconds. For best results, use kiln-dried hardwood such as silver birch, which ignites quickly and burns at a high, consistent temperature.
The Igneus Classico has a generous 60 × 60 cm cooking area, allowing you to cook two 12" pizzas simultaneously — ideal for families and garden gatherings where speed of service matters. The stone also accommodates a full-size roasting tin, making it equally well-suited for roasting meats, baking bread, and preparing complete family meals outdoors.
The Igneus Classico is a wood-fired pizza oven. Igneus recommends kiln-dried hardwood logs, with silver birch being the preferred choice for its fast ignition and high heat output. Kiln-dried wood produces less smoke and soot than wet or unseasoned wood, keeping the oven cleaner and maintaining consistent cooking temperatures. Avoid softwoods, treated timber, or any wood with a moisture content above 20%.
The Igneus Classico is a genuinely versatile outdoor oven. Its 60 × 60 cm cooking area fits a full-size roasting tin, opening up a wide range of dishes beyond pizza. At high temperatures, use it to roast chicken, cook steaks in a cast-iron pan, or bake flatbreads in seconds. As the oven cools, the residual heat is perfect for baking bread, finishing lasagne, roasting vegetables, or even cooking desserts. Cast-iron cookware works particularly well for one-pan meals, making the Classico a capable all-round outdoor oven for everyday cooking and entertaining alike.
