The Pro-Series Lava Line brings modern technology into the traditional wood-fired cooking experience. You still cook with the character and hands-on appeal of a live wood fire, but digital controls add another layer of management to the cooking process.
This combination is designed for outdoor cooks who appreciate traditional techniques but also want advanced features that help create a more controlled and consistent cooking environment.
Convection Technology for More Even HeatWood-fired ovens naturally develop areas of varying heat intensity, especially around an active fire. The integrated convection fan helps circulate heat throughout the oven chamber, promoting more even heat distribution around your food.
According to the supplied product information, the fan also assists with reigniting the flame and maintaining a healthy fire. This added air circulation gives you another tool for managing the live-fire environment during a cooking session.
Cut and Polished Volcanic Stone Cooking SurfaceThe Pro-Series Lava oven gets its name from its use of cut and polished volcanic stone, also referred to as Lava. This material forms the cooking surface and is incorporated into a substantial oven construction designed for the thermal demands of wood-fired cooking.
The oven combines volcanic stone with refractory cement, 304 stainless steel, a thick steel inner shell, mosaic tile, and Lava rock aggregate, creating a distinctive multi-material design focused on heat performance, durability, and visual appeal.
Thermal Guard Insulation for Heat RetentionRetaining heat is critical when cooking with wood, especially when preparing multiple dishes or maintaining a longer cooking session. The oven features Thermal Guard insulation paired with a thick fire blanket to help keep heat concentrated within the cooking chamber.
Effective insulation works alongside the volcanic stone cooking surface and substantial oven construction to support the sustained heat environment needed for pizza, bread, roasting, and other wood-fired cooking techniques.
Compact Countertop Design With Professional PresenceAt 28 inches wide by 28 inches long by 24 inches high, this Pro-Series Lava model offers a more compact footprint than larger freestanding wood-fired ovens while retaining the distinctive construction and technology of the Lava Line.
Adjustable legs allow for countertop use, making the oven an attractive option for compatible outdoor kitchen installations where a built-in or countertop-style cooking station is preferred. Always follow WPPO requirements for support surfaces, clearances, ventilation, and installation.
A Distinctive Mosaic CenterpieceThe mosaic outer shell gives this oven a different visual character than a conventional all-stainless outdoor appliance. Its textured, architectural appearance allows it to serve as both a functional cooking appliance and a focal point within an outdoor entertaining space.
For homeowners building an outdoor kitchen around pizza nights, live-fire cooking, and entertaining, the Lava Line offers a combination of traditional materials and modern cooking technology that stands apart visually.
Who’s This For?- Serious pizza enthusiasts who want authentic wood-fired cooking paired with modern convection and digital control technology.
- Outdoor kitchen owners looking for a countertop-compatible wood-fired oven with a distinctive mosaic appearance.
- Live-fire cooking enthusiasts who want more tools for managing heat distribution and maintaining an active wood fire.
- Backyard entertainers looking for a professional-style oven that can become a focal point for pizza nights and outdoor gatherings.
- Allow both the oven chamber and volcanic stone cooking surface to preheat thoroughly before launching pizza.
- Use properly seasoned hardwood to support cleaner burning and more predictable fire management.
- Use the convection fan according to WPPO instructions to help circulate heat and support fire management.
- Continue monitoring and rotating food as needed because an active wood fire can still create varying heat intensity throughout the cooking chamber.
- Pair the oven with appropriately sized pizza peels, a turning peel, coal rake, wood pliers, and oven brush for a complete wood-fired cooking setup.
- Before countertop installation, confirm that the supporting structure, clearances, ventilation, electrical requirements, and surrounding materials comply with WPPO installation instructions and applicable requirements.
