#2090 Andiron Log Holder $49.99
Our andiron log holder is designed especially for wood burning ovens.
This log holder just might be the most helpful oven tool in your tool case. It helps with oven fire and assists you with the direction of flame inside the oven cavity.
Why is this important? Because fire direction can take you across the line of quality, between good pizza and GREAT pizza. For truly delicious and crispy pizza crust, flame should curl over the dome of the oven.
As logs tilt on the log holder, and/or the fire is built over it, this solid-steel unit allows better airflow under the fire for a more consistent flame.
Made of solid iron, and weighs in around 10#. 19 3/4" long by 10 3/4" wide, by 9" tall.
#2055 FG Pizza's - Professional Oven Brush $46.00
Boy, are we proud of this.

Use this brush to collect ash from between hearth bricks and the smallest crevices of your oven. You will love how gentle and thorough it sweeps and cares for your hearth.
The adjustable head swivels to adjust to ANY oven shape - and sweeps with a FIRM motion. Angle the head straight in-line with the handle, or swivel it perpendicular to sweep and drag ash or push small coals. Head adjusts 360 degrees.
Extremely well constructed and durable. This is the same item as in our Al' Forno Pacchetto! Weighing in at a little more than 1.25 pounds, it has a heavy-duty 48" aluminum handle (which will not get burned from the heat of your oven like wood handles), and it cools off quickly.
Its flared brass-bristles allow the brush to sweep 8" of space at a time. To see the brush close up, please click HERE
#2130 Laser & Probe Gourmet Thermometer $84.99
It’s important to know the temperature of ones oven… as well as a finished loaf of bread. This tool can help with both. At the risk of sounding like a salesman… It’s two tools in one!
There are lots of thermometers out there... but this one causes less clutter. Use the Laser to measure the temperature of your oven, then use the prob to measure the temperature of your foods and bread! The Prob folds against the handle, and swings out only when you need it. (Remember, if bread loaves are not cooked fully, they will result in a doughy loaf. I bake my bread to at least 205 degrees.)
Our laser - probe combo thermometer quickly and accurately measures surface temperatures and internal meat temperatures for perfect cooking results every time. Laser targeting feature pinpoints exact temperature without touching the surface of your oven, pan, BBQ or utensil - and the stainless steel probe is used to take internal temperatures. Also features a easy to read backlit LCD temperature readout.
Product Features
* Measures temperatures from -76 to 932°f.
* Laser technology measures temperature quickly
* Stainless Steel probe takes temperatures internally
* Easy to read LCD
* Includes two AA batteries
Measurements: 6.75" x 2.75" x 1.5". When probe is extended it’s10.25" long
#2030 Perforated Banjo Peel - 59" handle $69.00
My favorite tool. I absolutely could not get by without it. It's the perfect pizza "turner" for woodfired ovens ... or any oven for that matter.
This small-headed peel is used to spin and remove pizzas or pans from the oven, or adjust and place logs on the fire. Stainless-steel head, and stainless-steel rod. The smooth-sliding and heat-resistant plastic handle improves accuracy of movement, and allows ease of operation and accuracy.
Dimensions: Round Perforated Head: 9”, Handle Length 59", Weight 2.3 lbs. Older pictures represent this tool with round holes, but this is not made any longer. The manufacturer has redesigned this product to sport oblong perforations.
Frankie G's notes: I personally have used this since the first firing of my oven. Note the sliding handles. These peels are fixed with one secure handle at the end, and one sliding handle on the stainless-steel rod. This allows its operator to easily maneuver the peel where needed, without readjusting one's hands. GREAT design! It’s not only a necessity, it's really fun to use.
You can see this peel demonstrated in our "Peels 101" video, located on our FG Videos page, OR click HERE for a short, 1.5 minute video.

Note the sliding handles. These peels are fixed with one secure handle at the end, and one sliding handle on the stainless-steel rod. This allows its operator to easily maneuver the peel where needed, without readjusting one's hands. GREAT design!

The handles also allow it to be maneuvered much easier within and outside the oven.

#2080 Napoletana-Style Peel 20" handle $65.99
These peels are of the highest quality and are the lightest pizza peels in the world!
In Naples, they make the pizza on a marble counter top and then “drag” the pie from the counter to the peel.
This peel is perforated, which allows most of the flour to fall from the bottom of the pizza, as it is scooped onto the peel, and before it enters the oven. Thus promoting a cleaner oven.
Weighing in less than 1 pound, the peel head measures 13” across and a white anodized aluminum alloy head. The handle is 20” long, and a light-blue anodized aluminum handle – which cools down quickly.
You can see this peel demonstrated in our "Peels 101" video, located on our FG Videos page. OR you may click HEREfor a 51 second video. It's really a must see.

#4052 Pizza Screen - 15" $4.99
I like to put the pie right on the hearth of the brick oven. But when we make pizza indoors, we'll make pizza skins ahead of time and place the skins on these screens.
Using screens allow one to easily maneuver uncooked pizzas throughout the kitchen and into the oven with ease.
Also, if the hearth is too hot, use a screen to start baking your pie, then remove the pizza from the screen and let it finish on the hearth.

#5020 Tools are Made, Born are Hands - E-BOOK $26.95
Many people have travelled to Mary G's Artisan Breads to attend the Introductory and Whole Grains wood fired bread baking workshops. They've come from across the United States, Canada, and as far afield as New Zealand and England. Frequently, they asked for a book-length document that recreates what Mary G’s workshop’s offer. Tools Are Made, Born Are Hands is the result. It's based on thousands of hours working with our wood fired oven, plus the input, questions and concerns of hundreds of students: experienced, professionals and beginners alike.
Through 272 pages, 182 photographs, and six chapters, you'll learn the history of these fascinating and enduring ovens, follow a typical two-day workshop in detail, then explore the various oven shapes, types and building methods to select your own. A clear, unbiased investigation of oven types does not exist in print--until now. Throughout, myths are dispelled, little-known tips provided and results-oriented methods explained. Far too much mystery has surrounded true artisan baking. Not here.
How about an authentic Neapolitan pizza baked for ninety seconds on a 750 degree hearth? This book shows you how.
From theory to practical, hands-on techniques, from ingredients to equipment, from wild to commercial yeasts, hearth breads to sweet breads, from preparing to firing and baking, you'll gather the information you need to make genuine artisan breads in a wood fired environment--or even in a home oven. This is exactly the kind of detailed look at real hand-made breads that is not available anywhere else. We know, we checked.
This is a book of method, not hundreds of bewildering recipes. As we tell our students, once you master the recipes in Tools Are Made, Born Are Hands, you will have the ability to approach any formula with confidence, whether you have a wood fired oven or not.
Tools Are Made, Born Are Hands is available in pdf format that can be read with Adobe Reader, Adobe Digital Editions (both free programs) or on most book readers. The PDF file will be emailed to you. If you require a copy on CD, please make that notation within FG pizza’s checkout system.

#2077 Classic Baker's Peel -w/ 6' handle $33.00
My uncle used one at Cardinale Bakery in Pittsburg, CA. His had a handle of 12-14 feet.
These peels are for the classic baker that enjoys a wooden feel, needs a long handle, and who may be tough on peel blades.
The detachable handle is specially-designed for this baker's peel. It's manufactured to fit snug so that when attached to the peel head, and used in a hot oven, it maintains a sturdy tool; without "wiggle". This is extremely important. A close up view of the fitting can be seen close up by clicking HERE. Hardware is included.
When the blade (peel head)gets old, or damaged, one purchases a new blade and attaches it to the old handle. Great idea. You can see this peel in our "Peels 101" video, located on our FG Videos page.
