Valoriano modular kits?

[adm]

All,

Does anybody have any experience with the Valoriano modular oven kits? I noticed that Jamie Oliver is punting them out at two and a half grand for the 100cm model, but there's a shop in Germany that sells the same thing for €1099 plus shipping. I was looking at the TOP 100 version... (www.toscanashop24.de)

These look like a pretty good modular kit to me - and the price is fairly good too.

Has anybody any knowledge/experience of these?

Thanks,

Alasdair

Hmm....certainly a good price - but the chimney seems to be in a strange position.

I was looking at the Valoriani as they seem to be well respected and are in a lot of restaurants. However, I am also still thinking about going the full firebrick route....

Decisions, decisions....

well one kit has chimney in front, other one at 699 has option, can ask them leave chimney out. i was going go that option and build a brick chimney in front of door in traditional style

i would give left nut to have time and the money do fire brick oven.

i was even concidering one these, remove door, build a new arch in front of oven getting the correct 63% height right and fitting chimney in arch. then modify their door to fit new lower entrace,
