Oven including gas burner and wood tray

Abstract

An example oven can include: a main body with a cooking cavity; a front portion of the main body having a front opening for receiving a pizza and acting as an air vent; a wood burning tray assembly including a grate positioned in the main body; and a gas burner positioned adjacent to the wood burning tray assembly; wherein the gas burner is configured to combust a gas to heat the cooking cavity; and wherein the gas burner is positioned to ignite wood on the grate of the wood burning tray assembly to further heat the cooking cavity.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An oven, comprising:
 a main body defining a cooking cavity;   a portion of the main body defining an opening for receiving a pizza and acting as an air vent;   a wood burning tray assembly including a grate positioned in the main body; and   a gas burner positioned adjacent to the wood burning tray assembly;   wherein the gas burner is configured to combust a gas to heat the cooking cavity; and   wherein the gas burner is positioned to ignite wood on the grate of the wood burning tray assembly to further heat the cooking cavity.   
     
     
         2 . The oven of  claim 1 , further comprising a baking stone positioned within the cooking cavity. 
     
     
         3 . The oven of  claim 1 , wherein the wood burning tray assembly further comprises an ashtray defining an ashtray opening through which a gas burner tube of the gas burner extends. 
     
     
         4 . The oven of  claim 3 , wherein the grate is positioned on the ashtray of the wood burning tray assembly. 
     
     
         5 . The oven of  claim 4 , wherein the grate defines a plurality of openings that allow air to reach the wood positioned thereon and ash from the wood to fall into the ashtray once the wood is combusted. 
     
     
         6 . The oven of  claim 1 , wherein smoke from the wood circulates to reach the pizza. 
     
     
         7 . The oven of  claim 1 , further comprising a hatch opening defined in the main body sized to allow for access to the grate positioned in the cooking cavity. 
     
     
         8 . The oven of  claim 7 , further comprising a hatch door sized to cover the hatch opening. 
     
     
         9 . The oven of  claim 1 , wherein the cooking cavity is configured to allow heat from the gas burner and the wood to circulate within the cooking cavity and exhaust out the opening. 
     
     
         10 . The oven of  claim 1 , wherein the gas burner extends through the wood burning tray assembly. 
     
     
         11 . An oven, comprising:
 a main body defining a cooking cavity;   a first portion of the main body defining first opening for receiving a pizza and acting as an air vent;   a second portion defining a second opening;   a gas burner including a gas burner tube extending through the second opening in the second portion; and   a wood burning tray assembly positioned in the main body, the wood burning tray assembly including:
 a grate; and 
 an ashtray defining an opening through which the gas burner tube of the gas burner extends; 
   wherein the gas burner is configured to combust a gas to heat the cooking cavity; and   wherein the gas burner tube is positioned to ignite wood on the grate of the wood burning tray assembly to further heat the cooking cavity.   
     
     
         12 . The oven of  claim 11 , further comprising a baking stone positioned within the cooking cavity to support the pizza. 
     
     
         13 . The oven of  claim 11 , wherein the grate is positioned on the ashtray of the wood burning tray assembly. 
     
     
         14 . The oven of  claim 11 , wherein the grate defines a plurality of grate openings that allow air to reach the wood positioned thereon and ash from the wood to fall into the ashtray once the wood is combusted. 
     
     
         15 . The oven of  claim 11 , wherein smoke from the wood circulates to reach the pizza. 
     
     
         16 . The oven of  claim 15 , wherein the smoke is configured to escape the first opening. 
     
     
         17 . The oven of  claim 11 , further comprising a hatch opening defined in the main body at the second portion to allow for access to the grate positioned in the cooking cavity. 
     
     
         18 . The oven of  claim 17 , further comprising a hatch door sized to cover the hatch opening. 
     
     
         19 . The oven of  claim 18 , wherein the hatch door includes a handle to allow the hatch door to be removed from the hatch opening to access the grate. 
     
     
         20 . The oven of  claim 11 , wherein the cooking cavity is configured to allow heat from the gas burner and smoke from the wood to circulate within the cooking cavity and exhaust out the first opening.
