At the Maine Wood Heat Co. our philosophy has always been to build and promote the greenest, most efficient and beautiful products we could. As the only wood fired oven on the market made from 100% pure materials, the Le Panyol oven is as close to a perfect match as we could ask for.
Since the Roman era, the Terre Blanche de Larnage (White Earth) has been highly regarded as the premier oven core material in France. Compared to”terra cotta, dense firebrick, cold cast refractory concrete”Terre Blanche offers a faster warm up time, incomparable thermal properties, and outstanding efficiency & durability.
Our Le Panyol ovens can come as a core package for a do-it-yourself, or an on-site installation for a commercial all-masonry oven managed by our team of ovenbuilders. We also design and build prefabricated/fully assembled metal clad ovens here at our headquarters in Maine, for both residential and commercial use. Browse our various models in the gallery above.

At the Heart of All of Our Ovens is Terre Blanche: Sensational Soil
At the doorstep of Provence, tucked away at the heart of the Crozes Hermitage vineyards, lies special deposit of clay”the Terre Blanche or White Earth of Larnage.
This unique material has been refined over the passage of millions of years. It is born of natural elements: abundant sunshine, brisk winds, and the cool, clear water of the ancient streams and rivers of the area.
Terre Blanche yields two remarkable things: excellent wine and exceptional earthenware cooking products. It has been the primary element in French culinary ceramics since the Roman era, prized for its exceptional thermal properties and durability. This is the core of every Maine Wood Heat oven.
