Can you use a wood fired pizza oven indoors?

The countertop design makes garden pizza oven perfect for new or existing outdoor kitchens and indoors.

If you want to treat your pizza oven to the fuel it craves, dry, seasoned hardwoods such as beech, birch, maple, ash and oak will do the trick. To break down the lingo for you, seasoned wood is simply wood that has been dried out naturally in open-air conditions.

The best woods for burning in your pizza oven are undoubtedly seasoned and dried hardwoods such as oak, maple, and ash. Hardwoods are usually much denser than softwoods (duh).

It’s essential that the opening is facing away from any flammable materials, such as petrol cans or sawdust. Finally, you’ll need to consider the fumes created by the pizza oven. If the garage is not well ventilated, the fumes could build up and create a risk of explosion.

The service life of pizza ovens can be as long as 25 years, but averages about 10 years, depending on use.

Nutrient-Packed Wood-Fired Pizza Common pizza-topping vegetables like onions, spinach, mushroom and peppers are packed with nutrients and antioxidants that make them healthy.

Do not use coal on a clay chimenea. Coal burns very hot and might damage the chimenea. Cast iron and steel chimeneas or fire bowls will burn wood, charcoal and coal, but remember if the chimenea becomes very hot then the paint will burn off.

Ensure that there’s ample ventilation for your pizza oven to prevent smoke inhalation for anyone nearby; don’t place the oven under a gazebo or covering, and allow the smoke to disperse.

Commercial pizza ovens can easily reach 950 degrees Fahrenheit. Although the ideal temperature for cooking pizza in 3-5 minutes is around 800 degrees Fahrenheit.

A lot of customers ask about the correct height for their brick oven chimney. Round Grove Products keeps nominal height at 108 or lower in order to ship nationwide without requiring an Over Size Load permit, but most sites require a chimney extension above 108 to create the proper airflow.

The air at the top of the pizza oven around the very top is normally super heated, somewhere around 600-900C. This super hot air tend to trap its self and helps act like a invisible blanket trapping the “cooler” air of 400-500C.

If the oven gets too hot then the crust will burn before it is cooked through. This can happen if you start pushing 930F (500C). How To Tell if its too hot? Throw in a handful of flour it’s too hot if it catches fire or burns in 10 seconds.

Should I use a chiminea or a fire pit? Chimineas are better for small spaces, fire pits are better for larger spaces. Because chimineas are narrower, they take up less room, and because they only radiate heat from their opening, they heat a small area very intensely.

If you don’t vent your pizza oven, air and smoke has nowhere to go but out of the same front door which is not ideal for cooking. The chimney or flue you choose for your pizza oven is important to make sure your pizza oven is working correctly. Without the right flue, the oven will not get hotter enough.

While a wood oven will work without a vent and chimney, a properly designed oven ventilation system will significantly improve air movement and oven performance while keeping smoke away from the chef. The traditional design can work either with, or without, side walls that enclose the vent.
