Frequently Asked Questions
What besides pizza can I cook in my gas/wood
burning brick oven?
There is no limit to what you can cook in your CBO gas/wood brick
oven. Anything you can cook in your home oven, you can cook in
your CBO Oven—whole turkeys, bread, grinders, chicken, steaks,
chops, vegetables, stews, empanadas, desserts and more.
When using any CBO accessory, please do not allow any type of
liquid to touch the Hearth or Dome. For example: When cooking
steak on the Grill Grate, you need to place a Griddle underneath
the Grill Grate to “catch” the drippings.
Can the oven be used in all climates?
Yes, you can use the Oven year-round. The structure you build
around the Oven must keep the elements out and the Oven dry.
Can I install my own oven?
Yes, it can be a do-it-yourself project. You’ll need to have some
skill in concrete and masonry in order to keep your Oven safe from
the elements. (Check out our Assembly Instructions section for
more details.)
Why would I use two different doors with my oven?
Most of our competitors have either no doors or just one. The CBO-500
and CBO-750 models come with a Decorative Door to seal off the
Oven and keep the elements out when it’s not in use. The CBO-1000
model comes with an Insulating Door for when you want to control
the internal temperature and hold it for long periods of time,
especially when you’re baking. You can purchase the Insulating
Door, to use with the CBO-750 model from the CBO online store. We
recommend it for low-temperature baking and cooking.
REMINDER - never close the door (any door) while using the GAS
feature of Hybrid ovens.
Is the oven safe around children?
Any time you have fire there is some potential danger. The outside
of the Oven will be hot to touch; just how hot depends on your
design and use of insulation. If installed properly, the Oven should
not pose any more danger than a BBQ grill.
How long does it take to heat the oven?
We always recommend bringing the temperature of an oven up
slowly. This ensures a balanced hearth and dome readiness.
Typically 45 minutes is a good expectation for 700° to 800°
cooking. Your environment (wind and outside temp) can be a factor
that extends the process to about an hour. Once it’s hot, you can
use your Oven for hours.
What types of ovens are better—
refractory concrete, clay or brick?
We’re partial to refractory and brick ovens because of their look
and durability. The first oven I owned was made of clay and in the
first harsh Chicago winter, it cracked!
How much do the ovens weigh?
The raw weight of the CBO-750 Hybrid DIY Kit Oven is 890 lbs. The
CBO-750 Hybrid Countertop Oven weighs 980 lbs. The CBO-750
Hybrid Stand Oven weighs 1051 lbs. Every CBO Oven requires a
properly poured foundation.
How do I shut down my oven?
Let the flames burn down, and when the Oven cools down to
below 200°F it is safe to close the Decorative Door on the
CBO-500 and CBO-750 models. The Oven will slowly cool down
over several hours.
Can I have a Residential Hybrid CBO Oven
indoors?
CBO 750 Residential Hybrid ovens are certified for Residential
Outdoor applications. The Residential Hybrid ovens should not be
used in indoors.(i.e. no to inside household use). Hybrid ovens are
intended for outside residential use. You must check your local
building codes to find out all of the permits, restrictions and
inspection requirements. You must also install and use the Oven
only in accordance with Chicago Brick Oven’s installation and
operating instructions (or equivalent).
Do I need a venting pipe on my oven?
Yes. You will need to install a Venting Pipe that meets your local
building code. The Pipe serves as an airflow regulator, which is
essential for controlling the temperature and convection. Your
Venting Pipe should always be a minimum of 24 inches high.
