View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel & Discover the Outdoor Wood-Fired Oven That Changes Everything: The Rossofuoco Clessidra

If you love the art of outdoor cooking, there’s nothing quite like the flavor, experience, and tradition of cooking with a wood-fired oven. But if you’ve ever tried one, you know the challenges, uneven heating, undercooked pizza bases, food that smokes too much, or ovens that don’t perform the way you hoped. That’s where the Rossofuoco Clessidra Outdoor Wood-Fired Oven comes in.

Today, we’re excited to introduce you to this Italian-made masterpiece.  Our latest addition is what we genuinely believe is the best outdoor wood-burning oven available today. Designed to combine tradition, innovation, and unmatched functionality, the Clessidra solves the problems many homeowners face with their outdoor ovens.

Whether you’re a pizza enthusiast, a backyard chef, or someone who loves hosting, this oven is going to transform the way you cook.

Why Choose the Rossofuoco Clessidra?

Many outdoor cooking fans share the same story:

• They bought a wood-fired oven that didn’t live up to expectations.
• They found it challenging to master cooking techniques.
• They were frustrated by inconsistent results.

The Clessidra is the solution to all these struggles. Manufactured in Italy, a country known for centuries of culinary excellence.  This oven blends authentic craftsmanship with modern innovation. It’s not just another pizza oven; it’s a versatile cooking system that supports both direct and indirect cooking methods.

Direct Cooking vs. Indirect Cooking

One of the Clessidra’s most impressive features is its dual functionality. You can cook in two completely different ways, depending on what you’re making.

Direct Cooking with the Outdoor Wood-Fired Oven

Direct cooking means preparing food right in the chamber where the fire is located. Think of it like a traditional wood-fired pizza oven. You place your wood inside, light the fire, and cook foods like pizza, steak, or bread directly in the chamber. The result? Crispy crusts, perfectly seared meats, and that smoky, wood-fired flavor everyone loves.

Indirect Cooking with the Outdoor Wood-Fired Oven

Indirect cooking, on the other hand, is perfect for foods that need steady, even heat. The fire is placed below, not inside, the cooking chamber. That means dishes like lasagna, casseroles, or roasts cook evenly without being exposed directly to flames. The oven features trays that enable you to position your food in the top chamber, where heat rises from below and circulates through, exiting through the chimney.

With this flexibility, you can cook just about anything—crispy pizzas one moment, delicate baked dishes the next—all with the same oven.

The Rossofuoco Clessidra’s Unique Features

What makes this oven truly stand out is the thoughtful engineering and attention to detail.

Built-in Thermostat, Timer, and Light

The Clessidra isn’t just old-world tradition; it’s innovation. It comes equipped with a thermostat, a timer, and something most outdoor ovens lack: a built-in light.

If you’ve ever tried to cook outside at night, you know how frustrating it can be to peek inside a dark oven. With the Clessidra, you’ll always have a clear view of your food, no matter the time of day.

Dual Heating for Endless Cooking

One of the common frustrations with wood-fired ovens is that after cooking a few pizzas, the cooking floor cools down. That often leaves you with pizzas that are perfectly cooked on top but raw on the bottom.

The Clessidra solves this problem by letting you feed the fire from below while cooking directly inside the chamber. This keeps the oven floor hot, allowing you to cook hundreds of pizzas without interruption.  Perfect for parties and family gatherings.

Smoke Control System

Love the flavor of smoke, but not all the time? The Clessidra gives you control. When cooking directly, you can block about 90% of the smoke from exiting the chimney, letting it circulate inside the chamber for a smoky touch. It’s a fantastic feature for meats, roasts, or anything you’d like to infuse with that distinct wood-fired aroma.

Adjustable Doors

Both the top and bottom doors can be closed at all times, and each is designed to let you adjust how much fresh air enters the oven. This gives you precision control over temperature and cooking style. This is something not often found in standard outdoor ovens.

Everything You Need, Included

The Clessidra comes ready with all the essentials: trays, a wood holder, and hooks for safe and easy use. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cook, everything is included to get started right away.

Cooking Possibilities with the Clessidra

Imagine what you could cook in this oven:

• Authentic Italian pizzas with crispy, charred crusts.
• Juicy steaks seared to perfection in direct heat.
• Slow-roasted meats infused with smoky flavor.
• Casseroles and lasagna baked evenly with indirect heat.
• Fresh bread with a golden crust and soft, fluffy inside.
• Vegetables and seafood roasted with unmatched flavor.

The possibilities are endless.  Thanks to its dual functionality, you can experiment with recipes and techniques that aren’t possible in traditional ovens.
