A gas deck oven is a heavy-duty baking appliance powered by natural gas or propane. It features one or more flat baking surfaces, known as decks, typically made of stone, ceramic, or metal. These decks are stacked in a steel frame and independently heated by gas burners located beneath each baking surface.
Each deck functions as an individual oven chamber, allowing for simultaneous cooking of different products at varying temperatures. The direct heat and stone or ceramic surface provide even, consistent baking with a crisp bottom crust—ideal for artisan bread, pastries, and pizzas.
