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 2025/2026 season has been a defining chapter for Oliver’s Craft.

When we made the decision to expand from our roots in South Africa to a dedicated UK hub, we knew the journey would be a graft. Moving into the UK and EU markets came with its challenges, but the reward has been far greater: the privilege of connecting with new cultures and providing high-performance solutions to makers far beyond our home region.

Today, we take the next step.

We are proud to announce that we have officially activated our direct expansion into North America. Leveraging our monthly consolidated LCL sea freight and precision ground courier partners, we now ship directly to the USA, Canada, and Mexico straight from our online store.

This isn't just about shipping boxes; it's about bringing our "engine room" technology to a global stage. With North America live, our sights are now set on South America, Australia, and New Zealand.

To the businesses, households, and enthusiasts who have backed us through this expansion—thank you. We’re just getting started. 🌍🔥

30/04/2026

There is a distinct, visceral shift in energy when you see a piece of equipment you engineered to solve your own problems starting to fuel someone else's mission.

We designed the InfernoXL because we needed a machine that could handle the pace of a professional "graft" without compromising on the soul of the food. To see it out in the world now—becoming the engine room for other makers—is a feeling that is hard to put into words. It hits differently.

It’s a powerful cycle:

- The Engineering: We built the 16kW high-output burner and saturated thermal core to give makers the confidence to never miss a beat during a rush.

- The Connection: Now, our clients are using that same power to serve their own communities, sharing food and building connections that go far beyond the service window.

- The Impact: When your passion for the craft helps someone else thrive in theirs, the work feels complete.

To every business and family out there using an Oliver’s Craft oven to bring people together: we see the hustle, and we’re proud to be the fire behind it.

Oliver’s Craft. Designed for us. Built for you. 🍕🔥

The Anatomy of the Bake ☀️🇬🇧

A rare window of British sunshine called for a high-cadence session with the Inferno. Two beautifully charred Neapolitans, launched and pulled — no heat retention door required.

When you’re operating without the door, the system is at its most intuitive. Set the burner to maximum, and the oven finds its equilibrium at the ±550°C mark. It’s a stable, high-performance environment that allows for effortless management of the crust and char.

Mastering Thermal Momentum
Achieving a consistent, back-to-back 60–90 second cook requires an understanding of thermal recovery:

• With the Heat Retention Door: This configuration is designed for peak efficiency during high-volume service. By trapping the ambient heat, you must maintain a rapid "launch-and-pull" rhythm to keep the stone temperature stable.

• Thermal Saturation: If the oven is left at maximum output with the door attached during a lull in service, the cooking surface will over-saturate. You’ll need to throttle the 8–16kW burner back to maintain a cookable temperature.

• The Workflow: In a true back-to-back marathon, the door allows the oven to recycle energy instantly, ensuring the floor never loses its "bite."

Engineering the perfect bake is about balancing raw power with prep-line discipline. 🛠️🍕

The light changed, the guests arrived, and the InfernoXL settled into its rhythm.

This wasn’t just a private gathering; it was a masterclass in high-end hospitality executed by the team at Bunchi Events. When the brief calls for a seamless, premium experience, the synergy between the maker and the machine becomes the focal point of the evening.

Bunchi Events brings the expertise and the vision; we provide the engine room. The XL remained the silent partner in the background—maintaining a saturated thermal core and consistent 450°C floor temps—while the Bunchi team focused on the theater of the bake and the human connection at the table.

It’s about more than just high-output engineering. It’s about creating an atmosphere where the gear disappears and the experience takes over. 🥂🔥

The Zenith of Thermal Performance:

Witness the InfernoXL in its natural element. This is where high-cadence production meets uncompromising Neapolitan standards. Utilizing our 16kW high-output burner system, the XL maintains a saturated thermal environment that allows for zero recovery time between launches. Combined with the autonomous rotating system, it ensures a mathematically perfect char across a full four-pizza deck—allowing the maker to focus on the craft while the engineering handles the consistency.

Thermal Evolution: The Lava Stone Upgrade
For the professional seeking even greater heat retention and a more traditional "floor" feel, we are now offering two distinct Lava Stone configurations to tailor your workflow:

The Stationary Powerhouse: Replace the entire 4-pizza rotating surface with solid 20mm stationary lava stones. This maximizes thermal mass for those who prefer manual deck management with extreme heat stability.

The Hybrid Solution: Upgrade your existing rotary stones to 11mm lava stones. This allows you to retain full autonomous motor functionality while benefiting from the superior porous texture and infrared properties of genuine lava rock.

Whether you demand the automation of a rotating deck or the raw thermal inertia of 20mm stationary stone, the InfernoXL is engineered to adapt to your specific culinary discipline.

Oliver’s Craft. Superior engineering for the elite maker. 🍕🔥
