A masonry oven, also called a brick oven or stone oven, is an oven built around a baking chamber made of fireproof brick, concrete, stone, or clay. Historically these ovens were wood-fired, though coal-fired versions were common in the nineteenth century and modern masonry ovens are often fueled by natural gas or electricity. They are closely associated today with artisan bread and pizza baking, though historically they served a much broader range of cooking purposes.
