Fired Up Kitchens specializes in the design, construction and installation of handcrafted living spaces for cooking and entertaining. With an emphasis on natural style, we blend artisan craftsmanship and modern sensibilities for outdoor kitchens that can satisfy the most demanding cook, the most discerning guest and the most discriminating tastes.

Our team of craftsmen, metalworkers, fabricators and designers, led by top chef and master stonemason Peter de Jong, draws inspiration from centuries-old Mediterranean, Asian and Southwestern cooking traditions and building techniques. We create spaces centered around wood-fired ovens and entertainment islands, incorporating new trends with classics that never fail.

We build you the good life–lived outdoors.

TEAM
Owner Peter de Jong is a third-generation chef with a 25 year career in fine restaurants that spans top stints at the James Beard House in NYC and the 4-star Beaufort Inn in South Carolina, articles in Gourmet and Southern Living and featured appearances on the Food Network and the Discovery Channel's Great Chefs series, to name a few.

His chef's instincts for form and function sent him to Europe, where he studied old-world masonry under the guidance of 5th and 6th generation artisans in Spain, France and Italy. With Fired Up Kitchens, de Jong has combined his culinary talents and artisan construction skills to bring the al fresco lifestyle to the ordinary backyard.

MATERIALS
Fired Up Kitchens specializes in the use of natural construction materials—stone, wood, metal. We source locally wherever possible.

WOOD-FIRED OVENS
We work exclusively with Forno Bravo imported Italian wood-fired ovens. Renown for their fine quality and excellent cooking performance, the Forno Bravo ovens combine traditional design with state-of-the-art refractory and insulating materials. Unlike other wood-fired ovens, that can take 2-3 hours or more, Forno Bravo ovens reach the perfect temperature for cooking pizza (750+ degrees) in as little as 40 minutes -- baking authentic Italian pizza in two minutes. And they retain heat for hours of baking and roasting. Small wonder the Forno Bravo pre-cast ovens are the world's most popular wood-fired ovens. Choose from a wide range of models and sizes to find the pizza oven that is right for your outdoor or indoor kitchen, and enjoy the pleasure of professional wood-fired cooking at your home.
