ANCIENT ROOTS,
MODERN OVENS.

Those are good live-fire ovens. Great for pizza nights when you want to tend a fire. The Opus One is a different thing entirely: real thermal mass that stores heat for hours. Better for multi-course cooking, bread, roasts, and situations where you don't want to babysit the fire all night. It's also a lot heavier and more substantial, without actually being permanent.

Same cooking performance. We kept the authentic dome ratios and thermal mass that make brick ovens work. The difference: no mortar to crack, no curing cycles, no permits for permanent construction, and you can take it with you when you move. Traditional masonry runs $15,000 to $30,000 installed and stays with the house forever. The Opus One is $8,995, goes together in a day, and goes wherever you go. No crane, no mason, no curing time.

Max cooking temperature is 1200°F. Floor temps for Neapolitan pizza run 850-950°F. The dome and thermal mass hold that heat for hours of cooking across a wide range of temperatures.

90 to 120 minutes to pizza temps with wood, depending on your brick configuration and conditions. Here's something the mortarless design allows: you can fire harder and faster than you could with a mortared oven. Firing levels that would be "overfiring" and cause damage in traditional masonry are fine here because there's no mortar to stress. So if you're in a hurry, push it.

Wood and gas are both included standard. Modules for charcoal, pellet, and electric are in development. The modular design means you can swap or combine fuel systems as your needs change.

Around 1,900 lbs fully loaded with bricks. Under 150 lbs for the stainless frame alone. The heaviest single piece during assembly is manageable for two people.

Recommended minimums: 3 feet from combustible walls and fences, 5 feet overhead clearance, and 10 feet from windows and doors. These are general guidelines based on industry standards for outdoor cooking equipment. Always check your local building codes, as requirements vary by jurisdiction. Detailed installation guidelines are in the Owner Planning Kit.

Two people, basic hand tools, half a day. The frame bolts together, bricks load into cassettes (the modular trays that hold the firebricks), and cassettes slide into the frame. No masonry skills, no mortar, no curing. We provide detailed instructions and video.

Most handy homeowners can handle assembly. The hard part is moving 1,900 lbs of components into position. You may want help with that. We're building an installer network for people who prefer professional setup.

A level surface rated for the weight, roughly 100 lbs per square foot. A 4-inch concrete pad works well. Existing patios may work if they're in good shape. Foundation specs are included in the Owner Planning Kit.

In most places, no for outdoor installation. It's not a permanent structure. But check your local codes. The rear flue can take catalyst inserts if your area has emissions requirements.

Yes. That was the whole point. I wanted a real brick oven I could take with me when we sell our house. Assemble with basic tools, relocate without demolition or cranes. Disassembly is just assembly in reverse.

The stainless shell handles the elements. Rain, snow, freezing temps. No covers required, no special storage. The mortarless design actually does better in freeze-thaw cycles than traditional masonry because there's no mortar to crack. And all gaps in the shell are under 5mm, so mice and pests can't get in.

Swap the brick. That's the point of the cassette system (the modular brick trays). Individual bricks slide out and replacements slide in. No demolition, no rebuilding, no contractor. Replacement bricks are standard firebrick from multiple suppliers.

The rear of the oven has swing-open service doors. No other oven has this. You can brush ash straight out the back in seconds. Beyond that, occasionally check bricks. That's about it. No mortar joints to monitor, no repointing, no annual sealing. The stainless shell wipes clean.

No, rear access is not required. The oven can be cleaned from the front like a traditional brick oven. However, rear access does make cleaning faster and easier if your installation allows for it.

A stand or built-in base rated for the weight. We offer a matching stainless steel stand for $2,495 (or $2,195 for Founder's Edition). You can also build the oven into a masonry or steel outdoor kitchen island. Load specs and dimensions are in the Owner Planning Kit.

No, the stand is separate. This is standard for ovens in this category and lets you choose the right setup for your space. Some people want the stand, some want to build it into an island.

Yes. We provide structural requirements, weight distribution specs, and clearances. Your base needs to handle about 1,900 lbs and meet clearance requirements.

You talk to me. Email, phone, whatever works. This isn't a big faceless company. I stand behind what I build. Same as Bostig customers have experienced for 20+ years.

We're finalizing warranty terms. Expect multi-year coverage on the frame and structure. Bricks are consumable but designed to last years under normal use, and easy to replace when they don't.

Engineered to pass UL/ULC certification, certification testing is the next milestone.

The stainless frame, shell, cassettes, and hardware ship UPS in multiple boxes. The firebrick ships freight on a pallet. Shipping costs vary by location. We'll provide quotes when ordering opens.

Yes. We offer a Frame Kit option without brick for people who want to source firebrick locally or configure their own brick setup. The mortarless cassette system is designed to accommodate the size variation you'll find across different brick suppliers. This also lets you tune the thermal performance by mixing brick densities if you want to experiment.

The front door swings on a multi-hinge system that works either direction. Open it with your right hand and it swings left. Open it with your left hand and it swings right. Grab it with both hands and pull straight back to remove it completely for full open-flame access.

The stand is rated for 3,000 lbs, well above the oven's loaded weight. We built in a healthy safety margin.

We're looking into financing options. If that matters to you, join the list and let us know.
