5.1 Preheating the Oven

For best results, preheat the oven to 752°F (400°C). This typically takes 25-30 minutes. Monitor the built-in thermometer on top of the oven to ensure it reaches the desired temperature.

5.2 Cooking with Propane Gas

Once preheated, launch your pizza using the pizza peel. The oven can cook a pizza in approximately 60 seconds. Rotate the pizza frequently (every 30-45 seconds) to ensure even cooking and prevent burning, especially the side closest to the flame.

5.3 Cooking with Wood Pellets/Chips

Load the wood burner tray with appropriate wood pellets or small wood chips. Ignite the wood. As with gas, preheat the oven to the desired temperature. Add more pellets as needed to maintain heat. Be mindful of smoke when adding fuel and wait for it to subside before inserting food.
