Valoriani Fire Guard for Wood Fired Igloo and OT Ovens

The Valoriani Fire Guard is a purpose-built stand that sits inside your Valoriani “Igloo” or “OT” wood-fired oven, forming a secure cradle for logs and embers. By lifting fuel slightly off the hearth, it allows oxygen to circulate freely underneath, encouraging cleaner combustion, hotter fires, and faster heat recovery between pies. At the same time, the guard acts as a protective barrier: live embers stay behind it, so pizzas, bread, roasts, or cast-iron pans can be slid in and out without risk of ash contamination or rolling logs.

Fabricated from robust, high-carbon steel and finished for extreme heat resistance, this accessory withstands daily firing in professional pizzerias, bakeries, mobile oven setups, and serious backyard installations. Easy to reposition with a fire rake and sized to fit perfectly in Valoriani’s chamber geometry, the fire guard delivers safer, cleaner, and more efficient wood-fired cooking—no matter how busy the service.
