About Firestone Ovens

Darren Johnston, the founder and owner of Firestone Ovens, has often been described as a Renaissance Man. He is a romantic artisan with a multitude of talents. His love of excellent food, and advocation for spending quality time with the people we love, has led him in his pursuit of constructing classic wood-fired masonry ovens of the highest quality.

In 1989, Darren started his journey with industrial wood-fired combustors at the Ajax steam plant. It was there that he gained firsthand knowledge about high-temperature refractory products and the damage caused by thermal stresses. Throughout his career, he has learned the critical importance of precision in construction and the necessity of strictly following installation guidelines to ensure durability in high-heat applications.

Darren has collaborated with master mason Doug Burpee on a variety of projects, including stone monuments and historic buildings. With decades of experience creating exceptional stone fireplaces, Doug’s expertise was a huge influence on the quality you can expect from any Firestone Oven.
