Pizza oven ventilation
Proper pizza oven ventilation is critical for the safe and efficient operation of wood-fired and gas-fired pizza ovens in commercial kitchens and food service environments. Without a compliant flue system, heat, smoke, and combustion by-products can quickly build up, leading to hazardous conditions and potential fines from environmental health officers. Chimflue designs and installs high-performance extraction systems tailored to the unique demands of pizza oven ventilation.
Whether you’re running a small pizzeria or a high-capacity restaurant, we provide bespoke solutions that ensure full compliance with local authority regulations. Our pizza oven flue systems can include twin wall insulated chimneys, spark arrestors, dilution fans, and advanced filtration where needed. Each system is designed to manage heat, grease, and particulates while maintaining airflow and energy efficiency.
Every installation begins with a detailed site assessment to determine the most effective ventilation route and components. From single-unit ovens to complex multi-appliance setups, we can handle the complete design, supply, and installation of your pizza oven ventilation system. Our nationwide team of experienced engineers ensures a seamless process from consultation to commissioning.
Chimflue has over 35 years of experience working with solid fuel and gas appliances across the UK. We’ve completed pizza oven extraction projects for leading restaurants, takeaways, and commercial kitchens. If you’re planning a new install or need to upgrade an existing setup, contact us today to discuss your pizza oven ventilation requirements or arrange a site visit.
Filtered Pizza Oven Extraction
The SMOKI Junior is a compact and efficient solution for solid fuel pizza ovens, working alongside a separate pizza oven extractor fan to manage smoke and particulate emissions. Designed specifically for smaller installations, it supports flue connections up to 300mm in diameter and achieves extraction rates of up to 500 m³/h.
Ideal for wood-fired pizza ovens in commercial settings, the SMOKI Junior helps reduce visible smoke and improve air quality while meeting environmental standards. Its small footprint makes it easy to integrate into tight kitchen spaces without compromising performance.
The SMOKI is a fully integrated pizza oven extractor fan system, ideal for solid fuel pizza ovens and other solid fuel appliances in commercial kitchens. Unlike the Junior model, it features a built-in fan and control unit, allowing users to easily adjust the extraction rate based on their specific requirements.
With flue connection sizes available up to 250mm in diameter and extraction capacities of up to 500 m³/h, the SMOKI offers reliable smoke and particle management in a compact, self-contained design. It’s a versatile choice for operators looking for a more advanced, user-controlled ventilation solution for wood-fired ovens and similar solid fuel systems.
Non-Filtered Extraction
Exodraft
The Exodraft RSV chimney fan is a powerful pizza oven extractor fan designed to provide reliable vertical discharge from solid fuel appliances. Mounted at the top of the flue or chimney, it creates a consistent vacuum within the system, ensuring safe and efficient removal of smoke and combustion gases. This makes it ideal for commercial pizza ovens where consistent ventilation is critical.
While suitable for all fuel types, the RSV fan is particularly effective in environments using solid fuel ovens, fireplaces, and stoves. Built to withstand continuous operation at temperatures up to 250°C, it’s a durable and high-performance solution for demanding kitchen settings.
The Flueboost Boiler model is a robust solution capable of managing flue gases at temperatures up to 300°C. Ideal for high-output commercial appliances, it supports systems with a heat output of up to 235 kW/h (800,000 Btu/h), depending on the size and configuration of the flue.
Designed for use with gas appliances operating at approximately 75% efficiency and flue gas temperatures around 180°C with 5% CO₂, the Flueboost unit ensures consistent and compliant extraction. It’s a powerful option for pizza ovens and other commercial cooking equipment requiring precise flue pressure control and reliable draft assistance.
