A food cooking oven has a front door, a back wall opposite the front door, and two side walls connecting the front door to the back wall. The oven also has a rear divider parallel to and spaced apart from the back wall, the rear divider running between the side walls and having a support bracket at a lower edge. The rear divider has a fan inlet. Side brackets are located along each side wall of the oven, each side bracket spaced evenly from the side wall to allow controlled amounts of air to flow between each side wall and each adjacent bracket. A solid cooking surface is adapted to be supported by the support bracket on the lower edge of the rear divider and the side brackets. A lower heating element is positioned below the solid cooking surface and spaced evenly from the solid cooking surface. A fan is positioned between the rear divider and the back wall, the fan is adapted to draw air through the fan inlet in the rear divider and push the air onto the lower cooking element.

What is claimed is: 1. A food cooking oven comprising: a front door, a back wall opposite the front door, an interior ceiling, an interior floor, and two side walls connecting the front door to the back wall and the ceiling to the floor; a rear divider parallel to and spaced apart from the back wall, the rear divider running between the side walls and having a support shelf at a lower edge, the rear divider further having a fan inlet; side brackets along each side wall; a solid cooking surface having a top surface and a bottom surface, the solid cooking surface adapted to be supported by the support shelf on the lower edge of the rear divider and the side brackets; a lower heating element positioned below the solid cooking surface and spaced evenly from the solid cooking surface; a fan positioned between the rear divider and the back wall, the fan adapted to draw air through the fan inlet and push the air onto the lower cooking element. 2. The oven of claim 1, wherein the side brackets are adapted to substantially prevent air from passing between the side brackets and the solid cooking surface. 3. The oven of claim 1, further comprising: at least one upper heating element adapted to provide radiant heat to the top surface of the solid cooking surface. 4. The oven of claim 1 further comprising: a lateral deflector positioned near a top edge of the front door, the deflector adapted to disrupt air flowing up near a front edge of the solid cooking surface so that the air heats food on the top of the solid cooking surface in a substantially even manner. 5. The oven of claim 4, wherein the lateral deflector extends between the two sidewalls. 6. The oven of claim 3, wherein the at least one upper heating element comprises at least two upper heating elements, the at least two upper heating elements disposed laterally above the top surface of the solid cooking surface. 7. The oven of claim 6, further comprising: a longitudinal deflector disposed between the at least two upper heating elements, the longitudinal deflector adapted to deflect a portion of the heat generated by the at least two upper heating elements. 8. A food cooking oven comprising: a solid cooking surface; a lower heating element spaced apart from the solid food cooking surface; a fan adapted to provide a flow of heated air on top of the solid food cooking surface; a front oven wall comprising an oven door; a gap formed between the front oven wall and a front edge of the solid cooking surface forming a pathway for the flow of heated air; an oven ceiling disposed between two sidewalls, the oven ceiling intersecting the front wall; and a first deflector disposed between the sidewalls and secured to one of (a) the intersection of the front wall and the ceiling or (b) the ceiling proximate to the front wall, the first deflector operable to redirect the flow of heated air over the front edge of the solid cooking surface adjacent to the gap. 9. The oven of claim 8, further comprising: side brackets adapted to hold the solid cooking surface above the lower heating element and to allow the flow of heated air on the sides of the solid cooking surface. 10. The oven of claim 9, wherein the side brackets are further adapted to substantially prevent air from passing between the side brackets and the solid cooking surface. 11. The oven of claim 8, further comprising: at least one upper heating element disposed between the oven ceiling an the solid cooking surface. 12. The oven of claim 11, further comprising: a second deflector disposed adjacent to the oven ceiling, wherein the second deflector is oriented substantially normal to the first deflector. 13. The oven of claim 12, wherein: the at least one upper heating element comprises two upper heating elements, the two upper heating elements spaced laterally between the oven ceiling and the solid cooking surface; and the longitudinal deflector is disposed between the two upper heating elements, the longitudinal deflector adapted to deflect a portion of heat emitted by the upper heating elements. 14. The oven of claim 8, further comprising: a rear divider between the fan and the solid cooking surface, the rear divider having a rear shelf adapted to prevent flow of heated air over the rear edge of the solid cooking surface. 15. The oven of claim 13, wherein the rear the rear divider further comprises: a fan inlet adapted to allow airflow above the solid cooking surface to be drawn into the fan. 16. An oven comprising: a housing, the housing having an interior portion that includes two sidewalls, a front, a back, an oven floor and an oven ceiling; at least one solid cooking surface disposed within the interior portion, the solid cooking surface having a top surface and a bottom surface; at least one lower heating element adapted to emit heat; the at least one lower heating element disposed proximate to the oven floor; at least one upper heating element adapted to emit heat, the at least one upper heating element disposed proximate to the oven ceiling; and at least one fan disposed within the interior, the fan adapted to force air over the at least one lower heating element to create a convection airflow within the interior of the housing, wherein the at least one solid cooking surfaces comprises a first solid cooking surface and a second solid cooking surface, the first solid cooking surface disposed between the second solid cooking surface and the oven floor. 17. The oven of claim 16, further comprising: a lower interior portion substantially bounded by the oven floor and the first solid cooking surface; a first upper interior portion substantially bounded by the first solid cooking surface and the second solid cooking surface; and a second upper interior portion substantially bounded by the second solid cooking surface and the oven ceiling. 18. The oven of claim 17, further comprising: a first lateral deflector disposed between the first solid cooking surface and the second solid cooking surface; and a second lateral deflector disposed between the oven ceiling and the second solid cooking surface, wherein the first lateral deflector is adapted to deflect convection airflow from the oven front to the first solid cooking surface, and wherein the second lateral deflector is adapted to deflect convection airflow from the oven front to the second solid cooking surface. 19. The oven of claim 17, further comprising: a first set of side brackets spaced from the sidewalls, the first set of side brackets adapted to support the first solid cooking surface, and wherein the first side brackets are adapted to prevent convection airflow from passing between the first side brackets and the first solid cooking surface; and a second set of side brackets spaced from the sidewalls, the second set of side brackets adapted to support the second solid cooking surface, and wherein the second side brackets are adapted to prevent convection airflow from passing between the second side brackets and the second solid cooking surface. 20.
