Patent ID: 8464701

Claim:
A flame oven comprising: a) a housing defining a cooking chamber, b) a first heating system comprising a base plate heater having a base plate configured to transmit heat therethrough to an upper cooking surface, c) a chamber heating element configured to supply heat to the cooking chamber, d) a door having a transparent region, the door having a closed and open orientation where in the open orientation, access is provided to the cooking chamber, e) a flame chamber positioned transversely behind the cooking chamber relative to the door, the flame chamber defined in part by a backplate at a rearward surface of the flame chamber and a transparent portion at a forward surface of the flame chamber, the transparent portion interposed between and separating the flame chamber and the cooking chamber, the flame chamber having a flame manifold operationally configured to disperse a flame therefrom when in an operational mode, f) a control system comprising a first temperature sensor positioned to gauge the temperature of the base plate and a second temperature sensor positioned to read the temperature of the cooking chamber, the control system operatively configured to read the temperature data from the first and second temperature sensors whereby the control circuit alters the heat emission of the base heating element and the chamber heating element to maintain a desired prescribed temperature in the base plate and in the cooking chamber.
