About this deal
When we put this pizza oven to the test it impressed us with its beautiful exterior and sturdy design. When the cap is off and the fire is burning, flames come out of it – it literally becomes a flame thrower.
Once flames begin to come out of the chimney opening, then you know that the oven is hot enough to bake a pizza.
The toppings were cooked well – we put the cheese in the freezer for around 20 minutes before making the pizza to help slow down the cooking so that the crust and bottom of the pizza can cook well before the cheese is toast. You can’t leave it outside, otherwise, it won’t last – unless you purchase the cover to protect it from the elements. The pellets generally don’t last that long to cook two pizzas back-to-back – the fire starts to go down after one pizza, hence you have to add another scoop to keep the fire red hot and ready for the next pizza. The pellets are made of hardwood, so they still give off that delicious aroma while burning and infuse food with the authentic, smoky wood-fired flavor.
But once you learn the nuances of how to keep the temperature of the pizza stone and oven chamber balanced, the Big Horn could be the best cheap pizza stone for the money.Though you can use a pizza oven all year around, maintenance does admittedly get a little trickier in winter. Depending on the height of the flame, if you launched a pizza right now you could end up with nicely charred toppings and cheese but a raw dough. This incredible oven has quickly become an essential tool in my culinary repertoire, delivering mouthwatering pizzas that are bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. We've been after a pizza oven for a couple of years, but the main brand was just too expensive to justify. Also if it puffs up then the flame can get close to the top and scorch it, may be sacrilege but if it does puff up too much pop it and squash it down a bit.
