Masonry Heater Plans / Stone Oven Plans
Solid Rock Masonry provides masonry heater plans or stone oven plans for your project. These plans are based on your custom design parameters, our stock designs, or anything in between! We design the plan sets to demonstrate a level of detail in-line with the comfort level of the builder. In addition, the builder/owner can choose from an “a la carte” list of plan set information and service options, including:
- Comprehensive 3D modeling of bake oven and bakery space
- Course by course drawings for all masonry from foundation to chimney
- Materials lists for specific plan sets
- Material suppliers for materials used in the design
- Shop drawings to facilitate local fabrication of components
- Phone/text/email consultation before, during, and after the oven build
- Photos to accompany plan sets, based on previous builds
- Technical and process support
Plan sets are suitable for the backyard oven, full-scale commercial ovens, or any scale in-between. We individually quote all plan sets based on the parameters of your project.

Oven Doors — Custom Built or Standard
While our guides and plans will allow you to complete most of the process, your oven will still need a door! We offer Solid Rock Masonry Doors for your DIY build, allowing you to avoid the hassle of sourcing the right materials. Feel free to order one of our standard sizes or a custom size as needed.
