The Subito Cotto line of wood-burning Pizza Ovens is hand made in Italy by Zio Ciro, a company with over 20 years of experience working with pizza ovens and other refractory products.
The Subito Cotto Mini is fully assembled and partially cured at the factory, this combination will allow you to be cooking in no time!
Your Subito Cotto Mini oven include:
A refractory dome
A metal door
A propane regulator
The oven is built on a metal base that features 4 metal support to allow for countertop installation.
The base of the oven is insulated with a a thick layer of expanded clay, the refractory dome is covered by a layer of high-temperature rock wool insulator, and protected by a patented composite outer shelf, that protects the oven from the elements and gives our ovens their unique look.
CAUTION
The use of the gas burner is limited to outside use only . The use of the burner, while a wood fire is active, is forbidden.
Since the fittings could become loose during transportation, the customer is required to perform a leak check before using the gas burner.
Please contact us for availability or special installation requirements.
The Avanzini P0 Drago gas burner is an atmospheric gas burner developed to complement the capabilities of the Subito Mini.. Its reliability, quietness of operation, and efficiency make this burner a best-seller among residential customers.
To ensure its optimal performance, the burner requires a gas connection using a 1/2 inch gas hose and a regulator with a 1/2 inch outlet. Smaller gas hoses may restrict the gas flow preventing the burner from reaching its rated output.
The Subito Cotto Mini is available as a propane oven and as a Natural Gas oven as a special order directly from the manufacturer. We would be happy to special order a Natural Gas oven in concomitance with our regular orders.

Curing is the process by which your oven is gradually and uniformly dried out of the humidity that might have been accumulated in the oven during the building and assembly stages.
During the process of heating up, thermal expansion occurs, and to maintain the same rate of expansion and to prevent structural cracks, the materials need to be as dry as possible.
Small hairline expansion lines are normal and will not affect the performance of your oven, while larger, structural cracks could diminish its efficiency and cause issues down the road, so this is a step you do not want to skip or rush through! While curing fires do not need to occur on consecutive days, best results have been achieved with no more than two days between heat cycles.
The objective of curing a wood burning Subito Cotto pizza oven is to increase the temperature inside the oven gradually (no more than 50 degrees C/hour), avoiding thermal shock.
To achieve that, start a small fire in a separate location, such as a charcoal chimney starter or roasting pan, and only place the pan in the oven when the flames have decreased in intensity (you want to avoid a flame that touches the dome). Add coals or small amounts of wood to feed the fire while avoiding large pieces that would generate a large flame, moving the pan inside the oven every 30 minutes or so to ensure the entire floor is heats up evenly.
Once your entire oven has reached 200 degrees Celsius (dome, walls and floor), maintain that temperature for around 2 hours let the fire go out and allow your oven to return to ambient temperature.
You will need to repeat those steps for every curing fire, with the following temperature targets:
The remaining curing fires can be started directly in the oven, as long as the fires are small and you allow your oven to heat up slowly. During the third or fourth fire, the oven will start releasing some moisture as small droplets of water dripping from the metal base of the oven; once this process starts, maintain the oven at a stable temperature until the dripping stops. This process can take several fires to complete, once it does resume the curing process with the following schedule:
The curing process can also been accomplished using a small cast iron burner; Several are available, ensure you select one with an thermal output suitable to your oven. This set up is also useful for customers that reside in colder climates, as it will allow for a gentle warming up of the oven during cold weather days ( 40F or less)
If using a burner to cure/pre-heat the oven, always ensure the length of the black pipe connecting the venturi to the burner head is long enough to keep the gas hose outside the oven.
