Sustainability

Blackwood Ovens low carbon journey
Traditional pizza oven high carbon journey
Blackwood Ovens low carbon, recycled materials manufacturing process
1. The bottle kilns of
Stoke-On-Trent
A bottle kiln is a type of high temperature oven used for firing pottery, and the word 'bottle' refers to the shape of the structure and not to the kiln's products.

The bottle kilns of Stoke-On-Trent were the home of Wedgewood, Doulton and many others in the British ceramic industry.

Experts calculate that in the heyday of the pottery industry in Stoke-on-Trent there were up to 4,000 bottle kilns with as many as 2,000 still standing in the 1950's.
2. Produce high thermal
capacity recycled material
Bottle ovens, once baking, would be used for up to five days as they went through the various periods of smoking, biscuit (first) firing and glost (second) firing. The term firing, is the process of curing/baking the pottery.

The bottle kilns would reach temperatures of 1250 degrees Celsius. The pottery is laid on refractory shelving (kiln furniture), which is fixed in place by the Ceramic firing pins. Most kiln furniture can withstand only 2 firings (bakes) before requiring replacement and it is this kiln furniture and firing pins that create our super thermal material.
3. Create parabolic
shaped mould
The thermal mix is then moulded into segments to create the traditional Fibonacci parabolic shape designed specifically to maximise efficiency. The base consists of 4 x 100mm segments with a bottom layer of 40mm of ceramic fibreboard insulation to minimise heat loss through the base.

60mm recycled fire bricks make up the cooking base 100mm high density ceramic insulation is wrapped all around the oven dome to maximise heat retention and reduce energy consumption
The Recycling Process

Waste Bottle kiln refractory material is taken from the pottery industry which is then ground down to form a coarse sand-like consistency.


Perlite, high alumina cement and waste ceramic firing pins are then added to form a super-strong, super energy efficient, thermal mix.

 

This super energy-efficient thermal mix is then poured into parabolic moulds to form our dome shape oven and the base is created with this same material. Recycled fire bricks form the baking oven floor.

Recycled Materials

Our pizza oven is made up of recycled bottle kiln furniture baked at over 1400c. Waste ceramic firing pins are added for strength and act as thermal conductors to increase the thermal mass. The cooking surface is made from recycled firebricks.
