Hand-stretched, fired in the oven, served straight to the table.

​Watching .events light up a community gathering with the InfernoXL reminded us why we build these ovens in the first place. Beyond the continuous heat, it’s all about the heart of the makers and the simple joy of sharing incredible, handcrafted food with people you love.

​From our workshop to event spaces around the world, we craft the tools and partner with KALM on shipping so passionate creators can focus entirely on bringing communities together.

Three hours. Three hundred Neapolitan pizzas. One oven.

We joined King Pizza Events at a wedding this month and ran the InfernoXL through the kind of service most kitchens never see — continuous fire, no recovery gap, every pizza to standard.

The oven is half the story. Moving equipment like this anywhere in the world is the other half, and that is KALM: air, road and sea freight under one system, customs handled end to end, from the order to the doorstep.

Built by Oliver's Craft. Moved by KALM.

The Reality Behind the Rush: An Apology to Our Community
At Oliver’s Craft, we pride ourselves on transparency, hard work, and keeping our word. Over the last two weeks, a behind-the-scenes logistics nightmare completely compromised the service you deserve. You are owed the full story, and our sincere apology.

When our recent production run landed, we had over 120 backorders ready for our UK and EU clients. We booked a massive, single-day collection with UPS to get ovens to your doors quickly. That is when the system broke down.

- The Pickup Failure: Despite knowing the heavy nature of our equipment, the freight forwarder repeatedly sent a single driver in a standard van who refused the cargo due to weight. Even though our warehouse team was staged to do all the heavy lifting, the drivers couldn't accept shipments they'd have to unload alone at the depot. It took days of fighting just to get the stock moving.

- The Split Shipments: Once inside the UPS network, orders were split. Oven bodies went down one lane; accessory kits went down another. Many of you received your accessories on time while your ovens were misplaced or misrouted. We intercepted these errors and scheduled emergency recovery collections, only for the courier's system to split the second batch all over again.

For a business built on precision and trust, watching this unfold while locked out of a faceless corporate network was absolute torture.

Refusing to let a third batch fall into that cycle, we broke the contract and switched to FedEx. They have initiated the final collections, and we have spent the last 48 hours ensuring every single remaining backorder is securely in transit.

Every backorder has now been successfully dispatched, and live tracking details are in your inbox. To anyone caught up in this nightmare: we are deeply, truly sorry. We fought hard, but we fell short by trusting the wrong network. We have completely overhauled our shipping framework to guarantee future logistics match the elite tier of our equipment.

Thank you for your patience, grace, and relentless support while we fought to bring the fire home.

The Refined Renewal: The InfernoXL Joins The Vineyard Hotel

There are places where the relentless rush of life naturally slows, and the focus shifts entirely to connection, atmosphere, and the craft of exceptional hospitality. Nestled at the foot of Table Mountain, The Vineyard Hotel in Newlands has long been a sanctuary defined by harmony, time-honored design, and its expansive, serene gardens.

Now, the kitchen's culinary landscape is evolving.

We are proud to announce the integration of the InfernoXL into this iconic Cape Town establishment. When engineering a commercial kitchen for a venue of this caliber, the equipment must do more than just produce high volumes—it has to respect the rhythm, precision, and elegance of the space.

With its saturated thermal core and high-output 16kW burner architecture, the XL settles in as the new engine room for their premium food program, effortlessly bridging modern performance with the hotel's storied heritage.

A new chapter of culinary theater begins where mountain views meet the fire.

At Oliver’s Craft, our engineering philosophy has always been driven by a single goal: designing and developing custom machinery that addresses the exact pain points of running a food business where quality and consistency are non-negotiable.

​What you’re seeing in this video is Version 1 of our custom-engineered heated dough press, which we built years ago. Designed to flatten dough while delivering a precise par-bake for effortless handling and rapid baking, this machine was a true production workhorse. Powered by dual pneumatic cylinders and synchronized gas burners mounted both above and below the press plates, it reliably turned out 1,000+ high-quality bases every single day without breaking a sweat.

​But engineering never stands still.

​Kors (Version 2).

​For this next evolution, we have stripped away the burners to focus entirely on advanced mechanical dough rheology. Kors replaces uniform flattening with a proprietary, telescopic "inside-out" stretching effect. Driven by a single cylinder, the mechanism deploys sequentially via concentric rings—striking the exact center of the dough first and rolling outward in a mechanical wave. This physical wave drives the delicate air pockets cleanly into the perimeter instead of crushing them, completely maintaining crust integrity and ensuring you get that signature, airy Neapolitan puff (cornicione) every time.

​If you’re looking for a machine that can flawlessly stretch your dough balls into a perfect 32cm diameter without damaging the crust, let’s connect.

The Countdown to Dispatch: Welcoming 100+ New InfernoXL-Pro Operators

​Tomorrow marks a major milestone for our production and logistics teams. Beginning March 25th, the first major wave of backordered InfernoXL-Pro units will officially begin dispatching from our fulfillment hubs.

​To the 100+ new commercial clients, food truck operators, and hospitality groups who placed their trust in our engineering during this backorder window: welcome to the family. We designed the Pro tier specifically for the sustained intensity of your daily service windows-featuring upgraded motor systems and dedicated cooling designed for all-day, continuous commercial rotation. Seeing this community scale globally is exactly why we continue to refine our manufacturing.

​With shipping commencing in less than 24 hours, our logistics partners are fully staged for rollout.

​For operators looking to elevate their kitchen's throughput ahead of the busy season, we have managed to secure a limited allocation of unassigned, ready-to-ship inventory from this production run. You can secure a unit directly from the online store to bypass the next manufacturing cycle.

​Thank you for the patience, the trust, and the shared commitment to the craft. Let's get to work.

The Raw. The Refined. The XL.

There is a shift in energy when high-output engineering meets the actual art of the fire. This shoot by .events captures the exact feeling we chased when we first designed the InfernoXL - the steam, the rolling flame, and that unmistakable, airy puff of a perfect Neapolitan crust.

We didn't build this to be just another piece of equipment. We built it to be a dream for the maker who refuses to compromise on the crisp, the char, or the cadence of a busy service.

Whether it's a high-end private event or a packed storefront, the XL is designed to be the elegant, heavy-duty heartbeat of your operation.

Oliver's Craft. Capture the intensity.
