Traditional Wood-Fired Cooking Meets Modern Technology
Bring the unmistakable experience of cooking over a real wood fire to your outdoor kitchen with the WPPO Lava 40 Wood-Fired Oven.
Part of WPPO's Pro-Series Lava Line, this premium outdoor oven combines traditional wood-fired cooking with modern digital controls and an integrated convection fan designed to circulate heat throughout the cooking chamber.
At the center of the experience is a cooking surface made from cut and polished volcanic stone—LAVA— surrounded by substantial insulation and a distinctive mosaic exterior.
Pizza is only the beginning.
Roast.
Bake.
Sear.
Cook over a real wood fire.
And make the oven itself a centerpiece of your outdoor kitchen.
Authentic Wood-Fired Cooking
There's a reason people have cooked with wood for centuries.
A live fire creates an entirely different cooking environment from a conventional indoor oven.
The WPPO Lava 40 gives you the experience of managing a real wood fire while incorporating technology designed to make that experience more consistent and manageable.
Build your fire.
Bring the oven to temperature.
Slide your food onto the volcanic-stone cooking surface.
And let wood-fired heat do what it does best.
Integrated Convection Fan
Traditional wood-fired ovens rely heavily on natural heat movement within the cooking chamber.
WPPO adds another tool.
The Lava Series incorporates a convection fan designed to circulate heat throughout the oven, helping distribute heat more evenly around the cooking chamber.
The fan can also assist with maintaining a healthy fire and reigniting the flame when additional airflow is useful.
It's a modern addition to one of the oldest cooking methods.
Digital Control
The Pro-Series Lava Line combines its traditional wood-fired design with digital controls, giving the cook another level of interaction with the oven's modern features.
Rather than removing the experience of cooking with wood, the technology is designed to complement it.
You still get the fire.
You still get the volcanic-stone cooking surface.
You still get the wood-fired experience.
You simply have more technology available to help manage the cooking environment.
Volcanic LAVA Stone Cooking Surface
One of the most distinctive elements of the WPPO Lava 40 is right beneath your food.
The cooking surface is constructed from cut and polished volcanic stone, also described as LAVA stone.
This creates a substantial stone cooking deck suited to the high-heat environment of a wood-fired oven.
For pizza enthusiasts, that means your pizza cooks directly on stone rather than a conventional metal oven rack.
But don't stop at pizza.
The oven opens the door to a much broader range of outdoor cooking.

Substantial Multi-Layer Construction
The Lava 40 incorporates several materials selected for the demanding environment of a wood-fired oven.
Its construction includes volcanic stone, refractory cement, 304 stainless steel, a thick steel inner shell, LAVA rock aggregate, and thermal insulation.
A thick fire blanket provides an additional insulating layer within the oven construction.
Together, these materials create the substantial structure behind the Lava Series cooking system.
Mosaic Exterior
Performance isn't the only thing that makes the Lava 40 stand out.
The oven features a distinctive mosaic tile exterior, creating a completely different appearance from the stainless-steel boxes common in many outdoor kitchens.
The curved oven body and mosaic surface give the Lava 40 the presence of a traditional masonry-style oven while incorporating contemporary cooking technology inside.
It's designed to be seen.
Black Stand Included
The Lava 40 comes with a black stand, giving the oven a dedicated base and eliminating the need to purchase the stand separately.
The complete configuration measures approximately:
42" W x 42" L x 58" H
That creates a substantial outdoor cooking station capable of becoming a focal point within a patio or outdoor kitchen.
Built for the Outdoor Cooking Enthusiast
The WPPO Lava 40 makes sense for cooks who want more than another gas grill.
Add it beside your existing outdoor kitchen.
Make it the centerpiece of a dedicated pizza station.
Pair it with an outdoor prep table.
Or build your patio cooking area around it.
The combination of a live wood fire, stone cooking surface, convection technology, and distinctive construction gives you an entirely different way to cook outside.
