Bushman Wood Fired Ovens

Through rain and snow we will deliver

Stayed here last night on my way to Orkney islands to install a Bushman wood fired oven. the staff were great and the rooms newly refurbed clean and v comfortable Today i get to drive up through the Scottish highlands and then on to john o groats to catch the ferry

Well its been an exciting 4 months. After 20 yrs we have finally moved our Bushman wood fired oven factory and workshops to new bigger premises. Just 3min off junction 6 of the M5 motorway its now even easier to come and visit. The one thing we could not bring with us was our fab dome cooking school So we spruced up our wooden chalet previously our offices and turned it into a fab and cozy space complete with a Bushman wood /gas combo
A great space to demo and teach up t...o 6 students at a time.

We hope to welcome you soon .

This just in from a customer who attended a discovery consultation
It’s a bit of a story, but I was looking for a wood fired oven for my garden instead of the usual BBQ that costs a fortune for the meat and also everyone’s enjoying there selves while you’re cooking. I am also on the brink of redundancy from a job that I’ve been in for the last 24 years so I am looking for a new career path. When I found Jay’s website the penny dropped that this was not only my garden solutio...n but it could be my career solution also. I contacted Jay and had brief telephone conversation, it was apparent that he could point me in the right direction so we agreed a date for me to visit his workshop and discuss my options. I have spent my whole working life in heavy engineering (35 years) but feel the need for a change. I have no experience within the food industry but I’m willing to listen to good advice. Myself and my wife have visited Jay today 22/10/2018 to view his operation and to discuss our way forward with our mobile pizza business. We met Jay and had a fantastic chat about the whole business model that was best for us. Jay gave advice on all the business model that would fit what we discussed. He asked what we were looking to achieve and advised/ discussed in great depth the pitfalls and success of the mobile pizza 🍕 business. We have left with a great insight to where we go from here. We will be moving very quickly to start our new business, and we will be definitely purchasing our oven from Jay and soaking up all his knowledge of this business. Thanks for your time today Steve & Sue

What Jay Emery doesn’t know about setting up a Wood Fired Pizza business could be written on a Gnat’s whisker....!
...
We have just come back from spending a Discovery Consultation at Dingley Dell with Jay, listening and discussing our prospective business model and have come away buzzing and brimming with enthusiasm. Jay is brutally to the point and has a direct, no nonsense approach – why not, he knows his stuff! Jay’s passion and commitment is inspiring and infectious. We are 100% confident that with his experience, honesty and knowledge our venture will be a fabulous success....... watch this space.

Don’t get stuck this winter with this handy easy to do idea
Well happy snow day everyone Hope you all had fun.
... Here is a top tip for from the bushman at this time of year .
Most of the time when you get stuck it’s because you can’t get any traction on the ice So I put a small bag of gravel in the car so you can sprinkle it in front of your wheels .
Ok I’m a lot more industrial than that the roads around the factory can get bad so I’ve got a small trug full in the back of my van .
If you put and emergency bag of gravel in the boot it means you will be able to get home.
Give it a bash you may never need it but if you do you will be grateful that you did and you will always remember the Bushman. Of course if you don’t have any and you do need it you will remember what the Bushman said to you and wish you had.
Please share if you think this is a great idea

Ribs and brisket overnight.......wow! Am blown away, this came out better than I could have hoped After shooting this video I added the glaze and wrapped the ribs in plastic to go in the freezer. I drained the juices and put into the bag with the brisket so that it could re-absorb all the loveliness. I am standing here salivating and drooling over the results. Enjoy!!

Getting your fire up to temp and lighting the day before you want to use it in winter

It’s a sad day here at Bushman Wood Fired Ovens After 19 yrs the oldest known bushman burner meets its end This burner was one of the first 20 I ever made and was given to my landlady as a gift in the first month of bussiness Boy have we come a long way since we made this bad boy It met its end when it was moved to do some garden maintenance ... The gardener did not realise how heavy it was and fell over Unfortunately even as much as I would love to try to bring it back to life for prosperity it’s well past any viable repair RIP bad boy

What more can be said than all the reviews that have gone before me, the discovery consultation was great and I could have stayed for hours longer even though I was not well and the drive had really taken it out of me.

Jays advice really made me think about the viability of what I was planning and I am now back to planning what is best for my family instead of making mistakes that would have caused us no end of trouble.

No hard sell just good honest advice, top bloke who I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Thanks jay

We purchased a pizza oven over 3 years ago. We visited the site where they're made and from the moment we met Jay it's been a success. The oven is amazing and the support over the past 3 years has been second to none.

We can't thank you enough. Keep up the great work.



Eimear & Mark

We have just completed a consultation with Jay and Simon and I can honestly say that it was the most worthwhile journey we have ever made, (we drove down from Tayside). Not only did we find out a ton of information with regards to starting up a pizza business and all related pizza things, but Jays enthusiasm and positive vibe totally won my wife over and has given her the confidence to jump into this with me wholeheartedly. We can't wait to get started on the pizza trail! Thank you so much to you guys for making it such a pleasant and informative experience. We can't recommend Bushman highly enough. Best wishes Colin & Alanna Ramponi

Very pleased and proud to have chosen a Bushman Wood Fired Oven for our pizza restaurant. You can either treat Jay as an oven sales person or you can use him as a passionate builder and user of fine ovens who has a wealth of experience and someone who wants your business to succeed, highly recommended.

Travelled from Sheffield today for what I consider to be a milestone in setting up my new business! I wasn't really sure what to expect but got instant good vibes from the moment I pulled up. An experience worth travelling twice the distance and more. An opportunity to meet Jay - a man who's passion and knowledge of the business (not to mention his funny stories) is infectious and has given me even more drive to get going...and do things right...which with the help of Jay I'm now confident I will. I had many Q's answered and my mind put to rest, which even after much research I still needed. I hope to continue building a working relationship with Jay. A genuine nice guy with an enthusiasm seldom seen, which has to be seen in person to truly get an appreciation. Thank you Jay.

Me and my dad drove up from Hampshire on Monday for our 1 to 1 consolation with Jay. If your on the fence about making the trip to see him then I strongly urge you to go, the man is full of knowledge about everything to do with pizzas and remembering that what you are trying to do is build a successful and profitable business at the same time. I'm exited to get the ball rolling knowing that ill have one of Jay's handmade ovens in my van!

Kidderminster is a long way from Burnsall, in the Yorkshire Dales - but all of my research told me that the trip would be worthwhile, and I wasn't disappointed.



Jay has a vast wealth of knowledge and experience and he is very generous with it. I was left with a great deal of confidence in the product and the service and as the proud owner of a Bushman chiminea, which I have had for many years, I have every reason to believe that this confidence is will not be misplaced.



I can highly recommend.

Just got back to York from my initial consultation with Jay. What an amazing man he is. I went there with my wife Liz, kind of knowing I was gonna work with him. Came away more sure that ever. He didn't do the hard sell, but gave us the brutal truth - facts, evidence and tons of ideas. If you want bullshit and ego stroking, go elsewhere.

He is unflinching and frank, and helped us get a clearer picture of where we want to be going.

I think today was one of the most important meetings I've had in my life, and has shown me the path to my new life.

Bring it on!!!

Jay was an engaging experienced guy clearly with a lot of time spent in the field. When we had our consultation he sold us the vision of a business, more than just trying to push equipment. It was very clear and practical. I'd recommend his approach to anyone at a n early stage of trying to set up a mobile catering business.

I've just come back from an excellent seminar with Jay and Simon. I've been in the catering trade for many years now but, to be honest, know nothing about pizza and, more importantly, pizza ovens! Jay spent over two hours giving me invaluable advice about what sort of oven I need, what sort of transport would be the best and sound advice on the prep, storage and sourcing of all ingredients needed. On top of all that he had excellent practical advice on the type of operation that would be most profitable matched to the experience that I have. Even if you already think you know all about the mobile catering business, go and see Jay - it's time well spent. Thanks again guys.

I recently made the trip over to see Jay and Simon from Ireland and it was worth every penny. In the two hours spent with them I was equipped with the knowledge that I needed to run a successful wood fired pizza business.The level of expertise and customer service is second to none.I would strongly recommend making the trip to anyone serious about owning a wood fired oven.

I have recently visited Jay and Simon for the two hour consultation, I drove 6 hours in total and it was totally worth it! The information I gathered from both of them within such a short amount of time was amazing and so helpful. I now have such a better understanding about the industry and all the different paths you can follow. If I come to purchasing an oven, it'll deffo be from these guys.. not just because of the quality oven but for the information and help you receive with the purchase. If you are thinking about getting into this industry or just want to get a flavour of it, I would 100% recommend visiting the Bushman guys.

I have gone into partnership with my partner and my son to set up a wood fired pizza business. After extensive research on people out there selling ovens and trailers we decided to contact Jay Emery. He invited to a consultation day at his factory and within 20 minuites we could tell he really knows this business inside and out.

Only one of us had. experience in the catering business and because we were investigating time and money in our new project we needed to know for sure it was going to succeed. After spending time with Jay we could tell that we were talking to a true guru ! Jay inspired us and helped us believe that we really could make our ideas a reality.

We went home and discussed our options and budgets deciding that Jay's product was definitely the best out there and we wanted the best. The decision was made. Jay Emery was our man and has remained so. He has provided us with an amazing Bushman Wood Fired pizza oven and kitchen trailer and has supported us ever since as much as possible.

Yesterday we launched our business and catered for a private birthday party. Jay was with us every step of the way through that day, he made sure we had everything we needed to make it a success, it was actually a launch and training day and we are glad we had Jay with us as everything that could have gone wrong didn't as he had prempted every mistake we could have made so that we didn't make one.

The main point is that we finished the day feeling confident that we now have the knowledge to go out and trade, and that on top of that Jay had given us all his expertise on marketing ourselves in a way that will ensure the on going success of our business.

Many many thanks Jay Emery.

Hey Jay, as you like to say.."happy days" :) We absolutely loved your demo and are 100% sure we will go ahead and place an order for one of your ovens in the coming days. Thanks for such an inspiring and useful consultation, we have learned a lot more than we hoped for. The pizza you made was ...well, let me put it this way..if we can replicate that and offer that to our customers, I'm way more relaxed about our future now! :) It tastes fab, it cookes mega quick, the oven looks fab..its served with a big smile and what more can we say other than "happy days" - we very much look forward to speaking to you soon to place an order! Nigel and Miranda (Y)

For many years I have had a wood fired pizza oven on my wishlist for the garden. It's become a bit of a joke with family and friends as it is so often talked about but has never materialised. Having moved house last year I decided to resolve this and after much searching came across Bushman Wood Fired Ovens and Jay. The advice given on the site and via the emails sent was great and I contacted Jay to arrange a consultation. On a very grey Saturday (with daughter in tow) I drove 1.5 hours to Jay's house to meet him and discuss my plans in more detail. Jay's knowledge and passion were evident from the start. He was very welcoming and showed a real interest in what I was looking to achieve and the types of things I wanted to use the oven for. The food he provided as a taster was delicious, the ribs were especially good! I would highly recommend taking the time to visit Jay and benefit from his experience in both domestic and commercial setups. The journey home was spent discussing plans for our own oven and the great food we were going to create in it.

Being an established event caterer operating in a different field I thought I was pretty clued up but Jay and Simon saved me from making a costly mistake of several thousand pounds just in our initial five minute telephone conversation. The ensuing discovery consultation was incredibly informative and enjoyable. So much so, that I think our 'two hour' slot stretched to something like three and a half! Without hesitation I can say to anyone thinking of starting a business based around a wood-fired oven that the discovery consultation is the best two hours you can spend. To be blunt, if you don't leave afterwards fully confident and motivated that you can be successfull as an event caterer you should probably re-consider your career path.

An inspirational Discovery day the hours just flew by.! A wealth of knowledge and all to the point business advice. A lot to think about and if I open a Pizzeria this is where I will buy my oven. As Jay explains it's not all about the oven, the value is in the manual and touching it's surface in the meeting It is sure to be an excellent foundation for any food business.

After attending the Discovery Consultation with Jay and Simon, we had all of our questions and concerns answered along with many aspects that we had not considered. Jay's passion and enthusiasm for his products and services are inspirational and we are now ready to begin the adventure in earnest. We look forward to working with the Bushman team to bring our own wood fired business to the market and heartily recommend anyone who is seriously looking at professional wood fired ovens to contact Jay and Simon - thanks guys!

A two hour consultation with Jay & Simon is a must, if you are serious about starting your wood fired business.

They are so passionate about what they do and Jay literally has every answer!

We just wish we had gone to see him sooner instead of forking out £1000's for a competitors oven for practice. We could have saved time and money and we would have been up and running 12 months ago.

He also shows you how to make and cook the tastiest pizza's in seconds.

Well worth taking the trip to see them. You won't be disappointed.
