Fire Oven Outdoor Kitchen Installation
Learn how to install the Emberhaus Fire Oven into your outdoor kitchen with exact dimensions, material tips, airflow requirements, and pro advice.
Designing your dream outdoor kitchen? If you're integrating an Emberhaus Fire Oven into your setup, getting the installation specs right is crucial—not just for performance, but for aesthetics and safety. In this guide, we break down exactly how to prepare your countertop and cabinetry for a seamless Fire Oven outdoor kitchen installation.
Why Precision Matters in Fire Oven Installation
Unlike a freestanding grill, the Emberhaus Fire Oven is designed to be partially recessed into your outdoor kitchen cabinetry. This approach creates a sleek, built-in look that mirrors the refinement of your indoor appliances—while delivering the primal power of live-fire cooking. But that beauty starts with the right measurements.
Installation Dimensions: What You Need to Know
Width (W): 34"
This is the side-to-side opening required in your countertop cutout. It includes a 2” air gap for safety and ventilation.
Depth (D): 25"
This front-to-back depth ensures proper clearance and allows the oven to sit comfortably within the base cabinetry.
Height (Inset H): 7"
The oven should be dropped into the cabinetry to this depth, aligning the oven base flush with the standard countertop height.
Countertop Height (C): 36"
Standard for outdoor kitchens, this height ensures an ergonomic cooking experience and accommodates the oven’s stature.
Pro Tip: These specs provide a minimum 2” air gap on all sides to ensure optimal airflow and long-term performance. Always double-check final clearances with your contractor or kitchen designer.
Installation Considerations
Ventilation
The oven relies on natural convection and radiant heat. Never install flush without maintaining the recommended air gap.
Materials
Use non-combustible materials like stainless steel, concrete, or stone near the cavity. Avoid composite cabinets without added thermal shielding.
Support Weight
At nearly 400 lbs, the oven requires solid structural support below. Reinforce cabinetry as needed to prevent sagging or warping.
Final Thoughts
A fire oven outdoor kitchen installation isn’t just about fitting a box into a hole—it’s about elevating your space with purpose-built design. Whether you're working with a contractor or DIYing your build, following the right specs ensures your Emberhaus Fire Oven delivers the performance—and presence—it was built for.
