During the 1890s, the company continued to increase its revenues and expand its customer base. Many more employees were hired, including John S. Patrick. Patrick, hired as the company's secretary and treasurer, soon became an indispensable part of Blodgett's management team. In 1892, Patrick purchased Blodgett's interest in the company and assumed control of it’s operations. It was the beginning of three generations of Patrick family management over the company.

Blodgett 951 Roasting Deck Oven |
BACK TO BASICS Blodgett Deck Oven Advantages With all of the new technology being developed in the foodservice industry today it is easy to overlook the advantages of the Deck Oven. Blodgett Deck Ovens offer reliability with a low initial investment. Our battleship construction features walls and frames welded in a single unit for heavy duty use and long term durability. Simple, reliable controls mean your deck oven offers proven performance with minimal service - no more "Friday Night Foes". The full-size door allows for easy access to the cooking chamber and the large cooking area accommodates a variety of menu items, from large bread loaves to roasts. Plus, Blodgett Gas Deck Ovens require no electricity, reducing your utility usage and providing low cost of ownership. The Blodgett 900 Series enjoys the distinction of having the longest continuous production run of any oven manufactured by Blodgett since the company was founded in 1848. The 900 gas baking and roasting ovens come in four sizes with identical footprints, allowing you to stack in any configuration. This "Add-a-Section" design allows you to start with one oven and add as your business grows. The 1048, 1060, 911P and 961P pizza ovens feature an ultra rokite stone deck and higher BTUs than our roasting ovens for perfect pizza results.
