BIG HORN OUTDOORS Pizza Ovens Wood Pellet Pizza Oven Wood Fired Pizza Maker Portable Stainless Steel Pizza Grill

Product Information

The Ooni Pro 16 is a multi-fueled pizza oven as well, meaning it can be started up with charcoal and gas in addition to wood. Luckily the process is pretty intuitive and mainly consists of sliding elements into place without needing tools. This is one of the reasons why I don’t judge pizza ovens based on the quality of the pizza it produces, but rather its efficiency and ease of use. What’s more, it has a waterproof Oxford fabric cover, ash collector, mesh storage shelf, pizza peel, and other accessories for more convenience. When you're first learning to launch a pizza, don't be afraid of generously flouring your peel to ensure that the pizza does not stick to the peel,” she said.

Compared to some other commercial pizza oven brands like Baker’s Pride, Big Horn is more suited to smaller commercial settings or home kitchens with limited space. Add one scoop of pellet every time you take a pizza out to get the temperature ready for the next one.

The company claims that the Big Horn Outdoor Pizza Oven takes 18 minutes to preheat where it will reach a maximum temperature of 860°F (460°C), and cooks a pizza in 1 ½ to 2 minutes. However, it may not be the right choice for larger foodservice operations or those that require a wide variety of cooking options.

Add wood pellets and preheat for approximately 18 minutes, once reaches the desired temperature you're ready to bake, bake delicious pizzas in as little as 2 minutes. As I’ve mentioned in previous pizza oven reviews, any pizza oven is essentially an insulated box with a baking stone on the bottom. Since [these are] such high heat ovens with small spaces [to cook in], there is not a lot of time for the evaporation of water in cheeses or sauces.

Feng Chen mentioned another bit of useful advice regarding ingredient prep and mise en place: “[You want to] have everything chopped and ready to go, but for ingredients you're worried might burn, keep them in the fridge until needed. This oven uses wood pellets, an efficient and economical option for people who love wood-fired pizzas but don’t have the budget, space, or motivation for a log-burning oven. The pizza oven sits perfectly on the bottom bracket, thereby preventing burnt spots and allowing easy heat distribution.
