#2090 Andiron Log Holder $49.99
Our andiron log holder is designed especially for wood burning ovens.
This log holder just might be the most helpful oven tool in your tool case. It helps with oven fire and assists you with the direction of flame inside the oven cavity.
Why is this important? Because fire direction can take you across the line of quality, between good pizza and GREAT pizza. For truly delicious and crispy pizza crust, flame should curl over the dome of the oven.
As logs tilt on the log holder, and/or the fire is built over it, this solid-steel unit allows better airflow under the fire for a more consistent flame.
Made of solid iron and weighs in around 10#. 19 3/4" long by 10 3/4" wide by 9" tall.
And the cool thing is that it's made in America.
#2097 Andiron Log Holder - Medium $44.99
For those who have smaller ovens, this size is just for you!
Made of solid iron and weighs in around 5#. 13" long by 8.75" wide by 8" tall.
The cool thing is that it's made in America.

The head stock is made of strong North American hardwood with sturdy but gentle brass bristles. 24% more bristles than other brushes.
Use this brush to collect ash from between hearth bricks and the smallest crevices of your oven. You will love how gentle and thorough it sweeps and cares for your hearth.
The adjustable head swivels to adjust to ANY oven shape - and sweeps with a FIRM motion. Angle the head straight in-line with the handle, or swivel it perpendicular to sweep and drag ash or push small coals. Head adjusts 360 degrees.
Extremely well constructed and durable. This is the same item as in our Al' Forno Pacchetto! Weighing in at a little more than 1.25 pounds, it has a heavy-duty 48" aluminum handle (which will not get burned from the heat of your oven like wood handles), and it cools off quickly.

#2130 Laser & Probe Gourmet Thermometer $84.99
It's important to know the temperature of ones oven - as well as a finished loaf of bread. This tool can help with both. At the risk of sounding like a salesman, it's two tools in one!
There are lots of thermometers out there... but this one causes less clutter. Use the Laser to measure the temperature of your oven, then use the Probe to measure the temperature of your foods and bread! The Probe folds against the handle, and swings out only when you need it. (Remember, if bread loaves are not cooked fully, they will result in a doughy loaf. I bake my bread to at least 205 degrees.)
Our Laser/Probe combo thermometer quickly and accurately measures surface temperatures and internal meat temperatures for perfect cooking results every time. The Laser targeting feature pinpoints exact temperature without touching the surface of your oven, pan, BBQ or utensil - and the stainless steel Probe is used to take internal temperatures. Also features an easy to read backlit LCD temperature readout.
Product Features
* Measures temperatures from -76ºf - 932ºf.
* Laser technology measures temperature quickly
* Stainless Steel probe takes temperatures internally
* Easy to read LCD
* Includes two AA batteries
Measurements: 6.75" x 2.75" x 1.5". When probe is extended it's 10.25" long.

#4200 Tuscan Grill for outdoor cooking $40.00
This cast iron grill is the perfect grill for your wood-burning oven. It's the perfect tool for Bistecca alla Maremmana. We have also posted our own Bistecca alla Maremmana pics on our facebook page
Here's how it works: Your Wood-fired Oven is hot and you've just made a pizza or two for your guests - to take away the hunger. Now for the main coarse, you roast some veggies, make a salad, and rake some coals forward from the back/side of your oven toward the oven opening. Place your Tuscan Grill on top, and grill your steaks, veggies, bread... anything!
It can be used over a campfire or in your fireplace. The Tuscan Grill has plenty of room for grilling vegetables, meats, fish etc. with 196 square inches of cooking surface.
The grill has a height of 4" with the legs, which can be used directly over hot coals. Without the legs you can lay it on a conventional chrome-plated or enamel pan to produce tack-sharp, well defined grill marks.
Cast iron construction
14" x 14" grill surface, 4" high legs
Weighs 15#
#2093 FG Pizza's Oven Draft Door $49.99
Why a draft door? Sometimes a fire needs a little push. This door feeds a constant air flow to the fire, feeding the flame so it burns more aggressively.
Our draft door has an opening in the bottom of the door to promote positive air flow into your oven chamber, to feed the fire or coals inside your oven. Once the air has heated, it travels along the dome of your oven, and out the front opening, where the door directs the hot exhaust up the flu. All this goes on while the opening to your oven is shielded from letting out too much heat.
It's perfect for quickly burning down coals on the hearth floor while containing the heat inside your oven's chamber. Made of solid steel, 19.5" wide by 12" tall. See the door in action on our FG Video page.
Frankie's notes: I have been using this door and it saves me 30 minutes on heating time and gives me a hotter oven. Read our customer's review of how the door helped his firing.
#2035 Tony Gemignani's Banjo Peel $59.00
Tony's Tool! - the preferred peel at the International School of Pizza
We have had many calls from people who have taken classes at the International School of Pizza in San Francisco, CA. Now that they are understand the craft of the Pizzaiolo, they want to use the right tools.

#2030 Perforated Banjo Peel - 59" handle $69.00
My favorite tool. I absolutely could not get by without it. It's the perfect pizza "turner" for woodfired ovens ... or any oven for that matter.
This small-headed peel is used to spin and remove pizzas or pans from the oven, or adjust and place logs on the fire. Stainless-steel head, and stainless-steel rod. The smooth-sliding and heat-resistant plastic handle improves accuracy of movement, and allows ease of operation and accuracy.
Dimensions: Round Perforated Head: 9", Handle Length 59", Weight 2.3 lbs. Older pictures represent this tool with round holes, but this is not made any longer. The manufacturer has redesigned this product to sport oblong perforations.
Frankie G's notes: I personally have used this since the first firing of my oven. Note the sliding handles. These peels are fixed with one secure handle at the end, and one sliding handle on the stainless-steel rod. This allows its operator to easily maneuver the peel where needed, without readjusting one's hands. GREAT design! It's not only a necessity, it's really fun to use.

#2031 Short Banjo Peel 47" Handle $53.00

Use this peel inside or out! Small enough for use in a home oven, yet sturdy enough to hold up to a brick oven.

#5000 Warm/Cold Ash Vacuum $210.00
Clean pizza! At last!
We've had some of our customers with woodfired ovens request a vacuum for their oven - and we have found the one that works. This vacuum was specifically designed to remove ashes from your hearth. WARM OR COLD!
Using a 5' long, fire-resistant hose and a specially designed filtering system for ash, the Ash Vac solves the problem of removing ash from wood burning ovens safely and effectively.
The Cheetah II uses a filter system consisting of two filters. The first filter is flame retardant for precautionary reasons. The second filter traps sub-micron particles (ash) and has a special snap spring assembly allowing for easier cleaning. The Ash-Vac features a 5' flame-resistant hose, 3-gallon capacity container, and a powerful 6-amp motor. Comes with a one year warranty and includes one set of filters. This unit is 20" high, has a 1-1/4" diameter hose opening, and holds up to 3 gallons of ash.
• Patented double filter system
• Comes complete with a FIRE RETARDANT PRIMARY FILTER.
• Cleaning rod and pliable filters allow cleaning without removing the lid.
• 5 ft. FLAME RETARDANT HOSE allows ash to pass through the hose to the canister without damage to the hose.

#2070 Bubble Popper - Pan Hook $8.99
Bubbles bubbles bubbles. Who doesn't like bubbles? We work so hard to get the dough just right; to have the yeast stay alive and JUMP once the dough hits the hot oven.
But when one bubble wants to grow big enough to take over the entire pizza... it needs to be tamed.
This is the perfect tool to pop those big bubbles that can form on your pizza while cooking. Check out our FG Video page to watch a video on how it works.
The secret is to "POP" and "drag"...
This simple little tool can be used as a "hook" to retrieve baking pans and trays. It's really useful.
Made in AMERICA of Stainless Steel - about 3 feet long.
#3071 Ceramic Casuella Trio $19.00
A ceramic casuella is the traditional way to cook in a woodfired oven.
Since these ceramic beauties can be fragile, we have chosen to offer a more convenient size for small - to moderate size recipes. Each casuella measures 6.66"x 2.25", holding 23 oz.
Made of clay and kaolin and very fragile, the glaze seal prevents moisture and flavors from being absorbed and it helps protect the unit from chipping.
Since these are made of clay, they will break if mishandled. They should not be soaked in water before use. Hand-wash only. Each casuella is hand-made so artisan imperfections may be apparent. We have a great video using these casuellas in our woodfired oven... check out our Shrimp Fra' Diavolo
#2080 Napoletana-Style Peel 20" handle $65.99
Made in Italy, these peels are of the highest quality and are the lightest pizza peels in the world!
In Naples, they make the pizza on a marble counter top and then "drag" the pie from the counter to the peel.
This peel is perforated, which allows most of the flour to fall from the bottom of the pizza, as it is scooped onto the peel, and before it enters the oven. Thus promoting a cleaner oven.
Weighing in less than 1 pound, the peel head measures 13" across and a white anodized aluminum alloy head. The handle is 20" long, and a light-blue anodized aluminum handle which cools down quickly.
You can see this peel demonstrated in our "Peels 101" video, located on our FG Videos page. OR you may click HEREfor a 51 second video. It's really a must see.

#4125 Stainless Steel Paella Pan $27.00
Paella pans are the preferred vessel to cook and roast food in woodfired ovens.
Our stainless steel pan is light-weight, with great heat transferring qualities. Use for paella (of coarse), but also can be used for so much more...
Roast potatoes, vegetables, meats, sauces, shellfish, etc. Get creative and fill with a 1" layer of rock salt and make Frankie G's Clam Casino appetizer for your guests.
Our paella pan is more durable than using ceramic and Pyrex cookware. (I never liked putting glass material in the oven with the fear of it breaking and leaving glass chips for my next pizza...). Although I love to cook with cast iron, this pan is lighter in weight and transfers heat from your oven floor better. The handles also allow it to be maneuvered much easier within and outside the oven.

#5020 Tools are Made, Born are Hands - E-BOOK $26.95
Many people have travelled to Mary G's Artisan Breads to attend the Introductory and Whole Grains wood fired bread baking workshops. They've come from across the United States, Canada, and as far afield as New Zealand and England. Frequently, they asked for a book-length document that recreates what Mary G's workshop offers. Tools Are Made, Born Are Hands is the result. It's based on thousands of hours working with our wood fired oven, plus the input, questions and concerns of hundreds of students: experienced, professionals and beginners alike.
Through 272 pages, 182 photographs, and six chapters, you'll learn the history of these fascinating and enduring ovens, follow a typical two-day workshop in detail, then explore the various oven shapes, types and building methods to select your own. A clear, unbiased investigation of oven types does not exist in print--until now. Throughout, myths are dispelled, little-known tips provided and results-oriented methods explained. Far too much mystery has surrounded true artisan baking. Not here.
How about an authentic Neapolitan pizza baked for ninety seconds on a 750 degree hearth? This book shows you how.
From theory to practical, hands-on techniques, from ingredients to equipment, from wild to commercial yeasts, hearth breads to sweet breads, from preparing to firing and baking, you'll gather the information you need to make genuine artisan breads in a wood fired environment--or even in a home oven. This is exactly the kind of detailed look at real hand-made breads that is not available anywhere else. We know, we checked.
This is a book of method, not hundreds of bewildering recipes. As we tell our students, once you master the recipes in Tools Are Made, Born Are Hands, you will have the ability to approach any formula with confidence, whether you have a wood fired oven or not.
Tools Are Made, Born Are Hands is available in pdf format that can be read with Adobe Reader, Adobe Digital Editions (both free programs) or on most book readers. The PDF file will be emailed to you. If you require a copy on CD, please make that notation within FG pizza's checkout system.
#2077 Classic Baker's Peel -w/ 6' handle $33.00
My uncle used one at Cardinale Bakery in Pittsburg, CA. His had a handle of 12-14 feet.
These peels are for the classic baker that enjoys a wooden feel, needs a long handle, and who may be tough on peel blades.
The detachable handle is specially-designed for this baker's peel. It's manufactured to fit snug so that when attached to the peel head, and used in a hot oven, it maintains a sturdy tool; without "wiggle". This is extremely important. A close up view of the fitting can be seen close up by clicking HERE. Hardware is included.
When the blade (peel head)gets old, or damaged, one purchases a new blade and attaches it to the old handle. Great idea. You can see this peel in our "Peels 101" video, located on our Instructional Videos page.

#4052 Pizza Screen - 15" $4.99
I like to put the pie right on the hearth of the brick oven. But when we make pizza indoors, we'll make pizza skins ahead of time and place the skins on these screens.
Using screens allow one to easily maneuver uncooked pizzas throughout the kitchen and into the oven with ease.
Also, if the hearth is too hot, use a screen to start baking your pie, then remove the pizza from the screen and let it finish on the hearth.
You can see screens demonstrated on our FG Videos page.
