Performance & construction
How your oven cooks
The low dome and vent draw flame across the dome and down the side — CBO’s FlameRoll™. Radiant heat, convection and conduction work together throughout the oven.
Convection
Air drawn through the opening heats inside the oven, moves toward the back and rises, then flows toward the flue. This continuous circulation carries heat through the cooking chamber.
Radiant heat
The fire and heat stored in the dome, walls and hearth radiate energy throughout the chamber. That retained heat keeps working as the oven cools.
Conduction
The hot hearth transfers heat directly to food or cookware in contact with it. Preheated cookware can then pass that heat directly to the food.
Illustrations show wood-fired cooking principles. Oven size and fuel equipment vary by model.

Haven't yet used the oven, still building the outdoor kitchen counter that will house the oven and the BBQ. I can comment on the purchase itself. After months of study trying to understand what I was looking for, I focused on the CBO-750 Hybrid REs Countertop oven. I spoke with Bob Harley at CBO. With about a dozen questions, Bob was able to answer them all plus providing additional information on questions I hadn't thought of. Bob is a wealth of information on using an outdoor oven for cooking. After thinking about it for another day, I pulled the trigger and purchased the oven as a direct result of my speaking with Bob. Bob then described the manufacturing and shipping timeline to California, and CBO was spot on. The only caution I would put out there is that the oven is almost 1000 lbs. based on the shipping manifest. You will need a tractor with tongs to set in place, or eights guys and two 2"x4" studs to hold the oven as you lift (four guys, unless weight lifters, won't cut it). Hoping to use in about 2-3 weeks and can't wait!
