Different Types of Outdoor Ovens & Pizza Ovens
Wood-Fired Outdoor Ovens
A favourite for authentic flavours, wood-fired ovens infuse food with a distinctive smoky aroma from wood fuel. Perfect for pizzas, bread, and slow-cooked roasts, they do require more effort to manage, including tending the fire, disposing of ash, and cleaning.
Made from durable materials like refractory brick and stone, they retain heat well, making them ideal for high-temperature cooking.
Gas-Fired Outdoor Ovens
Gas-fired ovens are convenient and easy to control, using propane or natural gas to provide consistent heat. They preheat faster than wood-fired models and are simpler to clean.
Ideal for quick meals and multitasking, gas ovens are a great choice for busy households or commercial settings, with options such as a 5-burner gas grill head for greater capacity.
Hybrid Ovens (Wood & Gas)
Hybrid ovens offer the flexibility to alternate between wood and gas, providing excellent versatility. You can enjoy the flavour of wood-fired cooking or switch to gas for faster, more controlled heat.
While multi-fuel pizza ovens are highly adaptable, they tend to be more expensive due to their advanced features.
Electric Pizza Ovens
Electric pizza ovens offer a straightforward, easy-to-use solution for both indoor and outdoor cooking. Their compact size is ideal for smaller spaces or portability.
Beginner-friendly and often featuring temperature gauges for precise control, electric ovens allow you to cook pizzas and other dishes with minimal effort.
Why Buy an Outdoor Oven or Pizza Oven
Investing in an outdoor oven or pizza oven can transform your garden into a hub for social gatherings and culinary adventures. Here are the key reasons why an outdoor oven is a worthwhile addition:
- An outdoor oven enhances your cooking experience by bringing it outdoors, allowing you to enjoy both the process and the environment.
- It is ideal for hosting events and gatherings, offering a central feature that brings family and friends together.
- These ovens provide versatile cooking options, allowing you to prepare everything from pizzas to bread, roasts, vegetables, and more.
- Adding an outdoor oven increases the value and appeal of your garden space, making it both functional and stylish.
- Outdoor pizza ovens offer flexibility in cooking style and fuel options, giving you the freedom to choose between wood, gas, or even hybrid setups depending on your needs.
Key Features to Consider When Buying an Outdoor Oven
Size and Cooking Capacity
The size of the oven should match the number of people you’ll be cooking for. Smaller ovens are ideal for couples or small families, while larger models can cook multiple dishes, making them perfect for gatherings.
Consider your outdoor space and whether portability is important—portable pizza ovens with wheels offer flexibility and easy storage.
Heat Retention and Insulation
Effective heat retention is essential for even cooking. Materials like refractory tiles and insulated walls help maintain temperature, while brick, stone, and stainless steel are ideal for larger ovens.
Stainless steel also provides excellent weather resistance and portability. Good heat distribution ensures consistent cooking across the cooking surface.
Temperature Range
A high-temperature range is crucial for achieving crispy pizzas. Look for ovens that heat up quickly—some models preheat in 15 to 30 minutes. The best ovens can cook pizzas in 90 seconds or less, ensuring quick and efficient results on well-designed baking surfaces.
Ease of Use and Cleaning
Gas pizza ovens are easier to use and clean, while wood-fired ovens require more maintenance, including ash disposal and regular cleaning. Ensure the burners and cooking surface are easy to maintain for long-lasting durability.
Portability and Installation
If you need flexibility, lightweight models with wheels make relocation simple, as seen with portable pizza ovens. Decide whether a fixed or mobile installation suits your space, and consider fuel storage options, such as wood or gas cylinders, to keep your cooking setup convenient.
Accessories for Outdoor Ovens & Pizza Ovens
Must-Have Accessories
A few essential accessories can make using your outdoor oven much easier. Pizza peels are ideal for safely transferring pizzas in and out of the oven, while a pizza stone ensures a crisp crust by distributing heat evenly.
Thermometers or temperature gauges are vital for precise temperature control. A cover will protect your oven from weather damage, helping to extend its lifespan.
Additional Cooking Tools
For added versatility, consider BBQ kits, especially for multi-fuel pizza ovens, to expand your cooking options. Multifunctional tables and trolleys provide additional workspace and storage for fuel, keeping your outdoor kitchen tidy and efficient.
