Jubinsky’s Among Top 10 Bakers in America

Amy Clark — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 19:53:11 +0000

Last Spring, I learned how to make wood fired artisan French bread from Michael & Sandy Jubinsky at their school, Stone Turtle Baking & Cooking, in Lyman, Maine. In the first few minutes of class, it was clear I was in the company of not only great knowledge and skill, but also great love. Michael and Sandy were clearly passionate about the art and science of baking, and of each other. They worked together seamlessly, as if extensions of one another, or in my favorite words of Forest Gump, “Like peas and carrots.”

To kick off the holidays, we’d like to celebrate with some very exciting news we just received from Michael & Sandy. Turns out, there are many who recognize their greatness. This year, Michael was featured in the highly acclaimed Dessert Professional Magazine as one of the Top 10 Bread Bakers in America. Click here to read the full article and join us in congratulating Michael & Sandy for their remarkable achievement.

We’re Live!

Thanks for stopping in. As you can see, things look a little different here at www.mainewoodheat.com. Don’t worry, you came to the right place.

We hope you like our new look and, even more, hope it’s easy to find exactly what you’re looking for. We decided to revamp the Web site for many reasons, but most of all to better reflect who we are and what we do, offer more resources and ways of understanding our products, and to make ordering online easier and more streamlined for our customers. If you have any feedback you’d like to send along, please do. The site is a work in progress, and like our business, is constantly evolving.

Developing the new Web site was certainly a team effort, and we’d like to thank one of the masterminds behind the project, Julie Parenteau of My Pigs Fly Design. She helped turn our visions of the new Web site into a reality.

Despite the changes we’ve made online, we still remain pretty old fashioned when it comes to working with our customers. We still sketch designs on napkins during lunch meetings and always prefer sharing ideas next to a wood fire or over a slice of pizza.

Thanks again for checking in. We hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers!

Bread Baker with a Le Panyol Oven

This Just in from Standard Pizza Co.

Amy Clark — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 13:23:02 +0000

Today we heard from one of our most recent mobile oven clients about his experience traveling around this summer with his new Le Panyol mobile oven. Dan Woodruff, and business partner Matt Parrott, are serving up wood fired pies at special events, farmers markets, weddings and festivals in Western Michigan and are developing quite a following. Check them out on their newly launched Web site or Facebook page. We look forward to keeping an eye on this dynamic duo!

“We had the oven out at an event this Saturday. Our best yet!

I found myself thinking about how lucky we are to have your oven. In my backyard oven, pizzas cook very unevenly. I would burn the first few pizzas almost every time. I also had to make sure that the hearth temperature was down in the low to mid 700s or I would consistently burn pizzas. With your oven, I never burn pizzas. When we started the event this weekend, we wanted to get a lot of pizzas out quickly. We created a crescent style fire with the main fire being in the back and smaller fires crawling down the sides. We were pulling completely cooked and beautiful pizzas out of the oven in 45 seconds. I always thought 90 seconds was the quickest. Not in your oven. As you can see, we remain serious fans.”

Le Panyol at The Boston Home Show

Amy Clark — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 12:51:18 +0000

Suffolk Downs saw its share of horsepower a few weeks ago as New England’s leading home and garden professionals arrived at the annual Boston Home Show.

We were invited by, and proud to team up with our partner, Joe Ventriglia of Terrascaping & Construction, an expert in designing and building masonry ovens, fireplaces and custom outdoor living spaces in homes and commercial estates across central Massachusetts. Hoping to light some fires with the locals and attendees, Scott and Joe showcased Le Panyol’s premier residential ovens, including the model 66 core package, the fully assembled Provence, and our own signature copper turnkey series.

A diverse group of show-goers kept the Le Panyol team busy with a wide range of wood fired oven questions. Happy with each day’s turnout, Joe and Scott were confident that their efforts to promote Le Panyol ovens had ignited the imaginations and interests of the food savvy attendees.

The show also hosted cooking demonstrations sponsored by “Boston’s Best” restaurant chefs, as well as free lectures for homeowners centered around the process of designing and building kitchens, baths and additions.

If you missed this event and would like to know more about Le Panyol ovens, Joe will be attending the New England Home Show also in Boston at the Seaport World Trade Center next weekend. Look for Terrascaping & Construction, and talk to Joe. Show specials on display models still apply!
