Traditional logs vary in moisture, density, and combustion behaviour. That variability can create temperature swings and unstable recovery during high-output Neapolitan pizza service.

Forno1889® is engineered for controlled combustion. Moisture is measured. Density is consistent. Burn cycles are predictable.

Chefs running sustained 450–500°C service often move to engineered fuel to keep their oven temperature stable during busy hours. By removing the natural variability of logs, the fire becomes easier to manage throughout service.

Yes. Forno1889® is designed specifically for that environment. Each briquette supports a 45–60 minute burn cycle, with recovery typically within 5–8 minutes under correct airflow management.

Moisture is controlled at ~6%, and ash output is very low (~0.1%). This supports stable dome conditions and cleaner flue management during service. The octagonal geometry and dense structure allow the briquettes to maintain their form at high temperatures, reducing collapse or movement inside the oven.

For pizzerias running sustained 450–500°C service, this consistency helps maintain stable heat and reliable bake performance throughout busy trading hours.

Most briquettes are produced for domestic heating. They are not designed for the sustained 450–500°C temperatures required in professional Neapolitan pizza ovens.

Forno1889® is manufactured from 100% FSC-certified beechwood for stable burn behaviour and a clean, neutral smoke profile. Each briquette is formed in an octagonal shape that supports consistent airflow and keeps the fuel stable inside the oven during service.

Unlike traditional logs, each briquette is identical in size, density, and moisture. With around 6% moisture and very low ash (~0.1%), combustion remains controlled and predictable throughout the firing cycle.

For pizzerias running continuous service, that consistency means a fire that behaves the same way every time it is refuelled.

Forno1889® is supplied in a structured format. The briquettes are boxed, palletised, and standardised for professional kitchens.

Each 15kg box contains nine uniform octagonal briquettes. This allows predictable reload quantities and clearer fuel planning during service.

Deliveries arrive on EPAL-standard pallets, supporting safe handling and clean storage. Unlike bulk log deliveries, there is no loose stacking, splitting, or shifting material in storage or around the oven.

For busy kitchens, this level of standardisation keeps fuel handling simple, kitchens cleaner, and service easier to manage.

Most operators begin gradually, introducing the briquettes alongside their existing fire and observing how the burn behaves during normal service.

Since 2023, more than 50 pizzerias across Ireland have adopted Forno1889®, from small mobile pizza trailers to multi-location restaurant groups running sustained 450–500°C Neapolitan service.

Because each briquette is uniform in size, density, and moisture, reload becomes repeatable and easy for the team to manage. In most kitchens, the rhythm is understood within the first few services.
