Alfa Forni launches EVO hybrid outdoor oven

Italian manufacturer Alfa Forni has launched EVO, a new domestic oven designed for its Everything Outdoor range, targeting the growing outdoor kitchen market.

The hybrid oven offers both gas and wood-fired cooking, reaching temperatures of up to 500°C.

Features include a digital display monitoring the cooking chamber, refractory floor and food probe, alongside Bluetooth connectivity and the ToGrill app, allowing users to monitor temperatures from a smartphone.

With a 60 x 40 cm cooking surface, EVO is designed for preparing pizza, bread, meat and vegetables. A gas connection from underneath also allows for cleaner integration into outdoor kitchen worktops and cabinetry.

The launch provides outdoor kitchen designers, installers and retailers with a versatile cooking appliance that combines traditional wood-fired cooking with digital temperature control and installation flexibility.

Trade implications: EVO reflects the growing opportunity for premium outdoor kitchen appliances, with manufacturers increasingly focusing on integrated designs and connected cooking technology.
