View full detailsHow Do Outdoor Pizza Ovens Differ From Standard Ovens or BBQs?
Unlike electric ovens or BBQs, outdoor pizza ovens reach higher temperatures faster (ideal for thin-crust pizzas) and use direct radiant heat (charcoal, wood, or gas) for even cooking. Indoor pizza ovens lack heat retention, while BBQs struggle with precise temperature control.
Types of Outdoor Pizza Ovens
- Wood-fired pizza ovens (e.g., Igneus and Clementi): Best for smoky flavour, slow-cooked meats, and traditional cooking. Requires kiln-dried hardwood.
- Gas pizza ovens (e.g., Ooni Koda): Quick ignition, consistent heat—ideal for beginners or fast cooking.
- Multi-fuel pizza ovens (e.g., Gozney Dome, Clementi dual fuel): Use wood, gas, or charcoal. Flexible for varied dishes.
- Portable pizza ovens (e.g., Ooni Karu): Compact, lightweight—suitable for camping or small gardens.

Usage Tips for Best Results
- Preheat for 20-30 mins (wood) or 15 mins (gas) until stone hits 400°C+.
- Use a pizza peel to slide dough onto the stone; rotate every 20 seconds.
- For wood-fired ovens, maintain a small flame; gas ovens require minimal adjustment.
Cleaning Techniques
- Brush debris off the pizza stone post-cooking; avoid water (causes cracking).
- Wipe stainless steel surfaces with warm soapy water; use baking soda paste for stains.
- Empty ash trays in wood-fired ovens weekly; check gas lines for blockages if performance drops.
