Glowen is a portable, wood (or gas) fired oven made from high grade stainless steel. The idea behind Glowen is that it takes everything that's good about traditional stone ovens and improves on everything that's inconvenient about them.
Let's focus on the good first. Just as traditional stone ovens, the Glowen is:
1. Extremely powerful, as it heats up to 700°C which allows for really puffy pizzas.
2. Incredibly efficient, capable of burning large, 300 x 100 wood pieces for longer periods of time
3. Big enough to cook multiple large pizzas at the same time in 470 x 580 mm sized cooking area.
Now let's take a look at why Glowen is an improvement from traditional ovens.
1. Foldable and transportable, so you can take it anywhere.
2. Much cheaper than the stone variant.
2. Heats up much faster, from 0 to 700°C in well under 25 min.
4. Removable firebox, allowing you to fire up Glowen with ease outside the chamber.
Glowen's extreme heat allows you to make extra puffy pizzas.
Glowen is intended for people who love to socialize and cook - particularly those with extended families and lots of friends - as well as for profesional chefs, caterings, restaurants and food truck owners. It's powerful and efficient enough to cook for a large concert; which we have proven at both Overjam festival and Metaldays in Tolmin where we made 4000 pizzas over 5 days in just 2 ovens. However, you can make so much more than just pizza in Glowen. For example, we made burgers, steaks, lasagna, seafood, even desserts.
We want our oven to be as non-restrictive as possible and allow you to make everything your heart (or your belly) desires!
Even a complete beginner will need no more than 20 minutes to have Glowen burning up at it's full power. A master chef, much less.
We understand there are comparable ovens on the market already, but simply put they are just toys compared to Glowen.
Glowen is bigger, more powerful and capable of feeding a larger number of people in less time while burning less fuel. This means it saves you more time and money as well as allowing you to be more care-free while cooking since you don't have to load additional fuel all the time. It's easier to light thanks to a removable firebox at the back of the oven and easier to operate because it's superb effciency removes the need for an oven door. Here's a quick FAQ as well as a video about the ultimate test: 700 pizzas in just 10 hours!
Absolutely! The biggest differences are that it's much more efficient and about ten times more powerful. You can literally feed a festival full of people!
Yup! We've proven it at many festivals in Tolmin, including MetalDays and OverJam. We baked over 4000 pizzas in 5 days in just 2 ovens!
Both ovens were running for full two months and still work as good as new! Glowen is not only powerful and efficient but also incredibly durable.
Making 900 pizzas in just 7 hours
Ever since I was a little kid and my grandma taught me how to make a pizza I wanted to own a wood-fired oven. We never had the room nor the money for such an oven at home. Fortunately though, one of my friends did. While visiting and cooking at their place I figured out there's a lot of downsides to your traditional wood-fired oven. Mainly, it takes way too long to reach the correct temperature as well as it obviously isn't mobile. When cooking for my friends or family I just don't want to be dependent on time, place or anything else really.
After a few long years and many different jobs, I felt like I had enough knowledge and experience to make my dream come true. Before my first concept oven "Martha" I already built a traditional oven from waste material and after that 5 more ovens that never really made it out of the prototype stage.
Martha got a lot of backlash after her first introduction. People laughed and waved it off, saying "that's not going to work". But I didn't let it get to me and soon Martha was ready for testing. It shut everybody right up since it was working much better than even I anticipated.
It was all very bittersweet, though. As it usually is the case with inventions, everybody wanted a piece of the pie. I had to trademark my design as soon as possible and with help from my lawyer friend, I did.
In the following weeks, I extensively tested Martha and quickly figured that I've got a lot more work to do. A few problems needed addressing and production cost absolutely had to be lowered - so I can make my work accessible to many. I started almost from scratch, kept the good, dealt with the bad, added some goodies and Glowen was born.
After many ups and downs, I figured I can't do everything alone, so I decided to recruit my very own team of writers, artists, engineers, programmers and above all - a team of good friends with experience and excellent work ethic. With my all-star team, I know the sky is the limit.
However, we do have a slight problem. If we go down the investor route the price tag of our oven will skyrocket and will only be available to the select few. We don't want that. We want the top-of-the-line state-of-the-art product, but we want it to be accessible to everybody. That's why we chose to kickstart our project with the help of great people over at Indiegogo and we need your help to succeed. We need to raise 60.000 $ via crowdfunding to start our assembly line and ensure top-notch product at an affordable price.
From perfect pizza or a juicy burger ...
... to delicious seafood ...
... of any shape and variety ...
... with Glowen the only limitation is your imagination!
Intense rising heat forming a gorgeous fire whirl
Cold air enters at the bottom side of the air mixer and travels towards the firebox where it reacts with burning wood, heats up and starts circulating around the chamber. As it raises it cools down and drops back towards the air mixer where it mixes with the remaining hot air and thus the oven "closes" itself and prevents heat to escape. That's why Glowen is extremely efficient and doesn't even need an oven door.
Heat is accumulated at the top of the chamber and in turn, cooks our food. The chimney is lowered as to not allow hot air to escape. There's a small door at the back of the oven where we can pull out the firebox and actually light the oven on the outside. This is not just much easier than most if not all ovens on the market but also much cleaner. After we get the fire going we just slide the firebox back in, wait for the air intake and we can start loading the larger logs from the front.
Here is how Glowen can fold and fire up
We don't cut corners when it comes to quality and we always strive to support local artisans. Our customers deserve the best. You deserve the best - so we make the best. No compromises and no half-measures, just quality.
The idea behind crowdfunding is a simple one: We're making the oven for the people - for you, and we'll let you decide how far to take it. We've already had investors approach us but we had to turn them down because they wanted to put a much higher price on my appliance than we originally intended.
Money from crowdfunding will go to our personal assembly line so that we can keep a close eye on the whole process and ensure top-notch quality and high standards for every single part.
We made a rocket. Now we need you guys to be our fuel so we can finish the first part of the story which begins right here and right now.
Where do we ship? Europe, USA, Canada, South African Republic.
P. S.: Backers from Slovenia can come and claim their Glowen in person with no shipping cost - and get to meet the team in person. If not, shipping across Slovenia will cost approximately 45 €.
When do we start shipping? January 2019
