- Does it run on propane only?
- Yes. This model is the LP version, so it runs on propane. It has no wood or charcoal tray, so you won't get a smoky wood-fired flavor.
- How big a pizza fits?
- It is a 30-inch countertop unit with a single cooking surface. That fits a large pizza with room to turn it, but check the interior dimensions before planning oversized pies.
- Does the lid thermometer mean I can trust the reading?
- The lid thermometer shows the oven's air temperature, not the stone or deck temperature. Use it as a guide and check the deck with an infrared thermometer for best results.
- Can it be built into an outdoor counter?
- It is designed as a countertop unit for outdoor kitchens. Leave clearance around it for ventilation and follow the manufacturer's installation instructions for built-in setups.
- How does it compare with a wood-fired oven?
- It heats faster and holds temperature with less effort, but it won't match the smoky flavor and high dome heat of a wood-fired oven. It suits cooks who value convenience over char.
- What do I need to run it?
- A propane tank and a properly ventilated outdoor spot. It does not need electricity for the burner, though you may want a light for evening cooking.
