I am curious if it would be possible to not assemble the base so I can build it into our outdoor kitchen? Just need the oven itself not the mobility.

Yes, so long as what you set it on is well insulated and not flammable. The trestle has always felt a little flimsy to me, although the oven itself is very solid. I use the trestle to hold up the oven and do not move it around, as it is VERY heavy.

Yes you can, the iven is independent of the base and can exist sepeartely perfectly

It is a fully contained unit that sits in the stand. We have been very happy with the purchase. Use it all the time for entertaining. Bocce and pizza are the best

Yes that would be easy to do. I can lift mine of the base and add it to a built in unit at any time.

The top comes assembled and is separate from the base. I am in the process of doing the same thing..

NO. I put 2 outside a few months ago and 1 died and the other unit is still working ok. I was going to put a cover over it but have not had the time to do it. It is cooking in the 100 degree temp and has been rained on and is still working. For $60.00 I wanted to know if they could do it or not. I would not recommend them outside.

You have to assemble it. My husband and I did it together. I actually put it all together until installing the top which is very heavy. It took about an hour and a half. Not difficult. I love it and use it as an outdoor kitchen. Very well constructed. I highly recommend it!

The oven may provide even heating. It may not warp then. When I used it on the stove top for which it was designed, it warped badly and never to return to it's original profile. I ended up throwing it out and buying the Lodge cast iron model. Worth the extra money. Now I stay away from Nordic Ware.

It does get hot. You won't be able to have anything on top of it and need to have some space behind it. But the oven is great and I definitely recommend it!

I have not used in oven but if need be I would. I see no reason other than oven size limitations.

Hi!The oven is capable of reaching 900F which is higher than what you need even for pizza. Best regards,Eugene.

I agree with others who say this oven gets very hot, especially the glass door. The housing is all metal and it heats up when the oven is on. It is too hot to touch, so I would say this is not a good choice if that type of heat is a concern. Sorry, because it is such a good item in other respects.

Hi! Yes, of course. But if you build a brick dome and brick base why do you need our oven - sounds like you will have your own brick oven? ))

We have a gas oven, and use it on the lowest rack. I think they don't want you to put it on the floor of the oven so that it doesn't block the natural convection currents in the oven. You may get uneven heating if you do that.

If you are talking about the wood top shelf the answer is yes! You could even put a kitchenaid mixer on it too w/ the oven! It's very sturdy.

I have owned this fantastic pot for well over a decade. I don't use it the oven however I don't know why you couldn't. I use it for cooking chili. You won't own a better quality pot.

I have it built into a wood caninet, but the back gets air & it sits on legs which allows for air circulation too. It gets warm but not hot externally when baking . Puts out a lot less heat than a conventional oven.

Your experience highlights one major flaw in the marketing of the Fagor 12 quart oven. No detailed information on temperature and other cooking requirements. In all honesty my experience has been through trial and error. Fagor's main competitor in the US is Nuwave. Their oven has much more specific directions on cooking procedures. I would suggest you contact Fagor on their customer support number in the manual and query their food prepartion rep. Sorry I can't help you with more specific information but I can thorougly sympathize with your experience as it mirrors my experiences too. When I do get satisfactory results I note the rack/temperture/time in a notebook that I keep near the oven for future reference. Good luck!

I did and it is working okay although the directions say do not put it on the bottom of the oven.

I wouldn't do that, this unit is to heavy for that. Appliance stores sell a microwave that does go over the oven, but you're talking over $500.00.We purchased a corner cabinet that this microwave fits into, and by doing this we got a nice looking cabinet with above and below storage. Hope this helped.
