We named this oven the Champion because it is the champion of all wood-fired ovens in terms of performance, size, quality, and value. The Cru Champion is handmade in Portugal with an oven chamber insulated by a 1 inch ceramic blanket sandwiched between two sheets of 1mm 304 stainless steel then encased in a 1.5MM lacquered aluminum outer shell. The robust design provides superior heat retention allowing the oven to be at 900F in about 20 minutes with the outer shell of the oven safe to the touch. The Cru Champion delivers fantastic wood-fired pizza, steaks, breads, seafood and more. Experience all that wood-fired cooking has to offer with the Cru Champion in a large and elegantly designed oven handmade in Portugal. Your imagination is the only limitation on what the Cru Champion can cook for you and your friends and Family. Because that is what wood-fired cooking is all about - slowing down and relaxing, lighting the fire and enjoying great food with the people you care about.
