It is a wood fired oven with a double wall body, aluminum outside and 304 stainless steel inside, a stacked cast stone front, a refractory tile floor, and a stainless chimney with a cap, handmade in the same workshop north of Lisbon as the brick domes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt weighs a fraction of what a brick oven weighs, comes to pizza temperature in about 30 minutes, cooks a pizza in under three, and sits on a table, a stand, a block base, or a food truck counter. Three colors: Black, Red, and Orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason a Maximus pizza oven can be light and still cook like a wood fired oven is the inner wall. It is grade 304 stainless, the alloy \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.australwright.com.au\/technical-data\/alloys\/stainless-steel\/304-stainless-steel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAustral Wright Metals\u003c\/a\u003e rates for continuous service in air to 925°C on the strength of its 18 percent chromium, which is why it is the standard for commercial ovens and food equipment. Wrapped in a ceramic fiber blanket and skinned in 1.4 millimeter aluminum, it holds the fire's heat inside a shell that stays cool enough to stand beside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Maximus pizza oven ships free because it clears our $750 free shipping threshold on its own; the only delivery charge is the $95 liftgate fee every freight oven carries at checkout. It burns four to six pounds of split hardwood an hour at cooking temperature, and a bag of kiln dried oak or hickory runs a full pizza night. It is wood only, with no gas burner and no conversion; the only Authentic Pizza Ovens ovens that take gas are the pre drilled brick domes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can compare the Maximus against its larger brother the Maximus Prime and the brick domes on our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/authentic-pizza-ovens\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAuthentic Pizza Ovens brand page\u003c\/a\u003e, or read on for what this mobile wood fired pizza oven is made of, how its false ceiling cooks, how the three colors differ, where to put it, who the Maximus pizza oven suits, and what to order with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"max-glance\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"max-glance-title\"\u003eAuthentic Pizza Ovens Maximus Mobile at a glance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandmade in Portugal, about 200 pounds; 27.5 inches square and 38.5 tall with the chimney; sits on any level non combustible surface rated for the weight, or the APO rolling stand, and two people lift it into a car\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWood only, no gas option on this oven, seasoned hardwood in 6 inch splits, 4 to 6 pounds an hour; about 30 minutes to pizza temperature, 500°C maximum on the dial\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e23.5 inch refractory tile floor under a 9.5 inch false ceiling; one 12 inch pizza or two 10 inch at a time, under three minutes each, up to 30 an hour, then roasts and bread on an hour or two of stored heat\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e304 stainless double wall chamber, ceramic fiber insulation, 1.4 mm aluminum skin in Black, Red or Orange, stacked cast stone front; lift off stainless door and rear mounted 5 inch chimney\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the box: chimney with flue and cap, ceramic baking dish, stainless peel, dial thermometer, ash and wood holder, and a spare floor tile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo curing schedule, two or three small first fires; cracks in the cast stone front are cosmetic; the APO cover is a warranty condition and, like all oven specific accessories, not returnable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood truck and trailer use with APO's securing modification done first; three year structural warranty from an authorized dealer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree freight from Texas with the $95 residential liftgate fee at checkout; Black and Red stocked, Orange is the last unit and not being restocked; 14 day returns on an unused boxed oven\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuestions before you order?

The Maximus pizza oven is 27.5 inches wide and 27.5 deep, 25.6 inches tall to the top of the dome and 38.5 with the chimney and cap fitted. The cooking floor is 23.5 inches square, the door is 15.5 wide by 9 high, and there is 9.5 inches between the floor and the false ceiling. APO quotes the weight at about 200 pounds, light enough that two adults lift it onto a table and one owner in the photos below loads it into a hatchback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet that beside the brick ovens on our brand page. A \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-pizzaioli-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePizzaioli\u003c\/a\u003e is 39 inches square, 26 tall, and about 1,250 pounds on a concrete slab, and it needs a masonry base and an engine hoist. The Maximus pizza oven needs a flat surface that holds 200 pounds. The owner above built a timber stand with a wood bay and set it in the woods behind the house, and that stand is the most anyone has to build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade is mass. A brick dome stores heat in six hundred pounds of masonry and holds it for hours after the fire dies; the Maximus stores heat in its tile floor and its stainless walls and holds it for an hour or two. The upside is speed, and it is a real upside. A brick oven takes an hour to come up. A Maximus pizza oven is at pizza temperature in about 30 minutes on a modest fire, which is the difference between an oven you light for a party and an oven you light on a Tuesday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPO calls the Maximus wood fired pizza oven its best seller, and having sold both kinds, we can see why. The brick domes are the ovens people plan a patio around. The Maximus pizza oven is the one they use three nights a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"max-h2\"\u003eThe Stainless Body, the Door, and the Thermometer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"max-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-stainless-door-removed-fire-thermometer.webp?v=1790025646\" alt=\"Stainless steel door of a Maximus pizza oven held beside the open mouth with a fire burning on the tile floor and the dial thermometer in the stone front\" width=\"800\" height=\"693\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body of a Maximus pizza oven is three layers. The inner chamber is a double wall of 304-2B stainless steel, two skins of half a millimeter each. Around it sits a high temperature ceramic fiber blanket and a bio soluble safety blanket, both asbestos free. The outer skin is 1.4 millimeter aluminum, powder finished in the color you choose. Heat stays in the chamber, the outside stays cool enough to touch at the sides, and nothing in the wall of this stainless steel pizza oven rusts, cracks, or needs curing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe floor of a Maximus pizza oven is refractory tile rated to 1,200°C, laid in a frame so a single tile can be lifted out and replaced; a spare tile ships in the box for that reason. The front is the part that makes a Maximus pizza oven look like an oven rather than a box: stacked cast stone, molded in refractory cement over a forged iron frame that reinforces it, in gray and charcoal tones on the Black and sand and reddish tones on the Red and the Orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe door is a flat plate of stainless with a wooden handle and a row of air holes across the bottom. It lifts off completely, as above, rather than hinging, so for pizza service you set it aside and work through a fully open mouth. Set it back in place and the holes meter air to the fire for roasting and baking. The dial thermometer reads 0 to 500°C and sits in the stone at the right of the door, where you can read it from the peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chimney is a 5 inch stainless flue with a cap, and on the Maximus pizza oven it sits at the back of the dome rather than over the mouth. It ships complete; the maker's chimney extension and cap are cut for the brick ovens and do not fit it. That placement is not cosmetic; it is the key to how this oven cooks, and it gets its own section next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"max-h2\"\u003eHow the False Ceiling Cooks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"max-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-false-ceiling-air-flow-diagram.webp?v=1790025705\" alt=\"Cutaway diagram of the Maximus pizza oven showing flame rolling forward under the false ceiling and exhaust passing back over it to the rear chimney\" width=\"800\" height=\"767\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA brick dome cooks by radiating stored heat down from a curved ceiling. The Maximus pizza oven has no dome inside; it has a flat false ceiling with a channel above it, and the fire's path is drawn in APO's diagram above. Build the fire at the back of the floor. Flame and hot gas roll forward under the ceiling toward the door, because the door's air holes are the only way in and the chimney at the back is the only way out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the front the gas turns up behind the door, climbs over the false ceiling, and travels back along the channel to the chimney. Every bit of heat passes over the cooking chamber twice, once under the ceiling on the way to the door and once above it on the way to the flue. The ceiling becomes a hot plate over the pizza, the floor tiles soak heat from the fire beside them, and the whole chamber comes to temperature in half an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor pizza the effect is a low, hot ceiling 9.5 inches over the floor, which colors the top of a pizza as fast as the tile crisps the base. For roasting it means a chamber with heat from below, above, and the side, and no cold corner. It is also why the Maximus pizza oven burns so little wood: nothing goes straight up the flue. The fire stays small, at the back, and the oven does the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"max-h2\"\u003eChoose Your Maximus Color\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree colors, one oven, one Maximus Mobile pizza oven. Body, floor, door, chimney, and cooking are identical across the three; the difference is the powder finish on the aluminum skin and the tone of the cast stone front. Pick the color from the drop down above the Add to Cart button and the gallery follows your selection. The Orange shows there as \"Orange (While Supplies Last)\" because it is the final unit; once it sells, the option goes away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"max-h3\"\u003eMaximus Black\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"max-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-black-apo-stand-deck-mountain-view.webp?v=1790025791\" alt=\"Black Maximus pizza oven on the Authentic Pizza Ovens stand on a deck railing overlooking wooded hills\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack is the Maximus pizza oven for a gray, black, or stainless outdoor kitchen, and the one most commercial buyers choose.

The body is a gloss red, and the stone front shifts to sand and reddish tones that warm the whole oven up. It suits a timber deck, a garden, or a rental patio where the oven is meant to be the centerpiece, and on a stainless prep table with the wood stacked below, as above, it is a complete outdoor kitchen for the price of a table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"max-h3\"\u003eMaximus Orange (While Supplies Last)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"max-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-orange-front-stainless-door-thermometer.webp?v=1790025911\" alt=\"Orange Maximus pizza oven straight on, showing the sand toned stacked stone front, stainless door with wooden handle, thermometer, and stainless chimney with cap\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1334\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrange was added at the end of 2024 and wears the Red's sand toned stone front.

It is also the color the maker has stopped building: as of the latest inventory report there is one Orange left in Texas and it is not being restocked, so it is listed as Orange (While Supplies Last) and once it sells the Maximus comes in Black and Red.

When the dial reads past 400°C and the ceiling has burned clean, rake the coals to one side, keep a single split burning on top of them for flame, and the Maximus pizza oven is ready. A 12 inch pizza goes in beside the fire and comes out in two to three minutes with a quarter turn halfway through, as above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 23.5 inch floor takes one 12 inch pizza at a time with room to turn it, or two 10 inch pizzas. APO rates the Maximus pizza oven at up to 30 pizzas an hour, which is a family pizza night with friends, or a farmers market stall with a queue, and the floor recovers between pizzas because the fire is right there beside it. That is the practical difference between this and a small gas oven: you never wait for the stone to come back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things to know before your first pizza in a Maximus pizza oven. The dial reads the air near the front and lags the tile during the heat up, so go by the clean ceiling rather than the needle. And the ceiling is close, so a pizza with a wet center or a heavy load of toppings wants a slightly cooler oven and an extra 30 seconds; a lean Neapolitan style pizza wants it as hot as it gets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"max-h2\"\u003eBeyond Pizza: Roasting, Baking, and the Ceramic Dish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"max-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-tri-tip-roasting-rack-flame.webp?v=1790026025\" alt=\"Tri tip on a roasting rack inside a Maximus pizza oven with the flame rolling along the stainless chamber beside it\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the pizzas, or instead of them, the Maximus pizza oven is a roasting oven with a live flame. Put the door back on, leave the air holes open, and the chamber settles to a steady 250 to 300°C with the coals at the back. A tri tip on a rack, as above, roasts in about 40 minutes with a crust no kitchen oven gives it; a spatchcocked chicken in a similar time; a tray of vegetables in 20. The stainless chamber has no cold corner, so nothing needs turning to face the fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a whole chicken, a duck, or a rolled roast, APO makes a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-mobile-rotisserie-spit\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003erotisserie spit for the Maximus Mobile\u003c\/a\u003e: a stainless frame that stands on the tile floor with its own drip pan and a rod 5.5 inches above it, so a roast up to about 8 inches across turns under the false ceiling, by hand from a handle outside the mouth.

Fish over asparagus and lemon, as above, a casserole, a bread pudding, a pan of roast potatoes: the dish goes in through the 15.5 inch mouth with an inch to spare on each side and sits beside the coals. Season it before first use by soaking it in water, then baking it dry at low heat, and it will outlast the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBread wants the Maximus pizza oven on the way down. Once the coals are dying, close the door, wait for the dial to fall to around 230°C, and a round loaf or two baguettes bake on the tile floor in 30 to 40 minutes with a crust that comes from the stored heat in the tiles and the ceiling. A Maximus pizza oven will not hold heat overnight the way a brick dome does, but an evening of pizza, then a roast, then bread, is a normal Saturday for one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"max-h2\"\u003eStands, Tables, and Bases\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"max-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-black-apo-stand-wheels-side-shelf.webp?v=1790026144\" alt=\"Black Maximus pizza oven on the Authentic Pizza Ovens rolling stand with a side shelf, parked on a lawn beside a house\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maximus pizza oven has no legs of its own; it sits flat on its base plate, and you choose what goes under it. The easiest answer is APO's own stand, a powder coated steel cart with a shelf for wood, a fold out side table, and two wheels, as above, which puts the floor at working height and lets one person roll the oven across a patio. It is built for the Maximus footprint, and it has its own page: the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-mobile-stand\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMaximus Mobile stand\u003c\/a\u003e.

The stacked stone base above with the wood bay underneath is the classic version; a block base with a paver cap, a stainless prep table, or a poured counter all do the same job. The oven's base plate is 27.5 inches square, so a 30 by 30 inch top is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"max-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-red-tree-stump-table-backyard.webp?v=1790026254\" alt=\"Red Maximus pizza oven set on a slab of tree trunk in a backyard, showing how little it needs under it\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd the third answer is whatever is there. The owner above set a Maximus pizza oven on a slab of tree trunk, which is not our recommendation for a permanent installation but makes the point: this oven needs very little under it. Clearances from the guide are 2 inches at the sides, 16 inches above the chimney cap, and a non combustible landing in front of the door, because the mouth and the door plate get hot even though the sides do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cooking floor sits about 4 inches above the base plate, so on a 36 inch table the floor is at 40 inches, which is where most people want it. A base lower than 30 inches means bending to the peel all night, and a base much taller than 40 makes it hard to see the pizza. Under a roof, a pergola, or on a covered porch, plan a flue run above the 5 inch chimney the way you would for a small wood stove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"max-h2\"\u003eTaking It With You: Tailgates, Camping, and Food Trucks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"max-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-red-loaded-in-hatchback.webp?v=1790026313\" alt=\"Two views of a red Maximus pizza oven loaded in the back of a hatchback with the tailgate up\" width=\"800\" height=\"299\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photo above is the sales pitch in one frame. Lift the chimney off, lift the door out, and a Maximus pizza oven slides into the back of a hatchback or a pickup bed with two people on the handles. The Maximus pizza oven goes to a tailgate, a campsite with a flat table, a beach house, a friend's backyard, a fair, a wedding, and back home again. For a family that cooks pizza for other people, that is the reason to buy this oven over a brick dome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood trucks and trailers are the Maximus pizza oven's other life, and APO sells it for that use with one condition that we will state plainly. An oven mounted in a vehicle takes road vibration and suspension shock that a patio oven never sees. Before it goes on the road, the cast stone face has to be secured to the body with added bolts from the dome into the face (a 5\/32 inch concrete bit, a 7\/32 inch metal bit, and a 1\/4 inch nut driver do it), the vehicle has to have suspension up to the load, and the oven has to be tied down to the counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an after purchase modification that the owner or the truck builder does and that the maker takes no responsibility for. We hold the maker's step by step instruction videos and send them to every truck or trailer buyer with the order confirmation; the maker does not allow them posted publicly, so they are not on this page. Without the modification, road use is outside the warranty. With it, a Maximus pizza oven is a proven small wood fired pizza oven for trucks, hot in half an hour before service on a few pounds of wood an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe everyday portable use, car to campsite to patio, needs no modification at all. Let the oven cool fully before you move it, lift by the body rather than the stone front, and keep the chimney, door, and dish packed separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the inspector on your truck build will not accept a residential rated oven, or the concept runs on gas rather than wood, the listed alternative on this site is the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/omcan-48080-48081-48082-gas-countertop-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eOmcan commercial countertop pizza oven\u003c\/a\u003e, a cETLus and ETL Sanitation listed natural gas oven with the propane kit in the box and no electrical connection, in 24, 32 and 36 inch outside widths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"max-h2\"\u003eFirst Fires, Care, and the Cover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no five day curing schedule on the Maximus pizza oven. Its walls are stainless and aluminum, not mortar and cement, so there is no water to drive out and no shell to crack. What it does want is two or three small first fires, each an hour or so, before the first full heat. The refractory tiles and the cast stone front hold some moisture from manufacture and shipping, and a gentle start lets it leave without spalling a tile. After that, fire it as hot as you like, up to the 500°C mark on the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare on a Maximus pizza oven is what you would do for any stainless grill. Sweep the ash out when the oven is cold, lift the tiles occasionally to brush the frame, and wipe the aluminum skin with soapy water; the powder finish is tough but it is paint, so no abrasives. The stainless door and chimney will discolor with heat, which is normal and cosmetic. Hairline cracks in the cast stone front are cosmetic as well and do not affect the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one condition on the warranty is weather. APO requires an all weather cover on every Maximus pizza oven whenever it is not in use, rain, snow, leaves, and sun included, and it makes a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-mobile-cover\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ecover cut for this oven\u003c\/a\u003e. Order it with the oven and it rides free on the same delivery; like every oven specific accessory it is not returnable, so check the fit is the Mobile's, not the Prime's. A covered porch helps, and the cover is still the condition; water that gets into the tile floor and freezes is the one thing that hurts this oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"max-h2\"\u003eWho Should Buy the Maximus, and Who Should Not\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"max-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-black-block-base-poolside-tool-rack.webp?v=1790026372\" alt=\"Black Maximus pizza oven on a stone block base beside a pool with a rack of oven tools hung on the base\" width=\"800\" height=\"1130\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy the Maximus pizza oven if you want real wood fired pizza on a weeknight, if you have a deck, a patio, or a small yard and no room for a 1,200 pound dome, if you want to take the oven places, or if you are starting a market stall, catering gig, or food truck and need an oven that heats in 30 minutes and travels.

Set the oven on a surface rated for 200 pounds, about 30 by 30 inches and 32 to 36 inches high: a block base, a stainless table, a masonry counter, or the APO stand. Under a roof, run a flue above the chimney as you would for a small wood stove; the maker's brick oven chimney extension does not fit this oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnpacking.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Maximus pizza oven arrives boxed on a pallet at the curb. Open the box in place, lift out the chimney, door, dish, peel, thermometer, ash holder, and spare tile, and lift the oven by the body with two people, never by the stone front. Set it on the base, fit the chimney into its collar at the back of the dome, fit the cap, and screw the thermometer into its hole in the stone beside the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirst fires.\u003c\/strong\u003e Two or three small fires of an hour each, a few small splits of dry hardwood at the back of the floor, before the first full heat.

In about 30 minutes the ceiling burns clean and the dial passes 400°C. Rake the coals to one side, keep one split burning for flame, and cook pizzas through the open mouth. For roasting and bread, set the door in place; its air holes feed the fire.

The Maximus Prime pizza oven cooks on a 35.4 by 35.4 inch refractory tile floor, about 1,250 square inches, against the Mobile's 23.5 by 23.5 inch floor at about 550. That is more than double the tile, and it is the difference between one 12 inch pizza at a time and three or four on the floor with the fire at the back. APO rates the Prime at up to 80 twelve inch pizzas an hour, and the Mobile at 30.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mouth grows with the floor. The Maximus Prime pizza oven's door opening is 20 inches wide and 11 high, which takes a half sheet pan, a full size roasting tray, or two pizzas side by side on the peel. The false ceiling sits 12.5 inches above the floor rather than 9.5, so a whole chicken, a Dutch oven, or the rotisserie spit fits under it with room for flame. Outside, the oven is 39 inches wide and deep, 30.3 inches tall to the top of the dome, and 44.5 with the chimney and cap fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade is weight. APO quotes the Maximus Prime pizza oven at about 400 pounds, twice the Mobile, and it does not go in the back of a hatchback. It goes in a pickup bed or a trailer, on a pallet or with four people on the base, and then it stays where you put it. The owner above set the Prime on a block base against the house with the wood stacked below, and that is the typical home installation: portable in that no masonry was poured, permanent in that it does not move on a Tuesday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet it beside the brick domes and the picture flips.

The Maximus Prime pizza oven gives you more floor than that dome at a third of the weight, on any base rated for 400 pounds, hot in 30 minutes. What the brick dome keeps is stored heat that lasts all night; the Prime holds cooking heat for an hour or two after the fire.

The inner chamber is a double wall of 304-2B stainless steel, two skins of half a millimeter each. Around it sits a high temperature ceramic fiber blanket and a bio soluble safety blanket, both asbestos free. The outer skin is 1.4 millimeter aluminum, powder finished in Black or Red. Heat stays in the chamber, the sides stay cool enough to stand beside, and nothing in the wall rusts, cracks, or needs curing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe floor is refractory tile rated to 1,200°C, laid in a frame so a single tile lifts out and a spare drops in; one spare ships in the crate for that reason. The front is stacked cast stone molded in Lafarge refractory cement over a forged iron frame that reinforces it, in gray and charcoal tones on the Black and sand and reddish tones on the Red. The stone is what makes a Maximus Prime pizza oven look like an oven rather than a steel box, and on the black APO stand above it reads as one piece of equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe door of a Maximus Prime pizza oven is a flat plate of 304 stainless with a wooden handle and a row of air holes along the bottom. It lifts off completely rather than hinging, so for pizza service you set it aside and work through a fully open 20 inch mouth.

The dial thermometer reads 0 to 500°C and sits in the stone beside the door where you can read it from the peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chimney on the Prime is a 5.9 inch stainless flue with a cap, mounted at the back of the dome rather than over the mouth, and it ships complete; the maker's chimney extension and cap are cut for the brick ovens and do not fit it. Because the chamber is stainless rather than brick, the Maximus Prime pizza oven is also the APO oven for a coastal deck or a beach house: 304 stainless resists salt air in a way that iron door frames and untreated steel do not, which is why it is the standard for commercial kitchen equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eHow the Prime Cooks: The False Ceiling at 12.5 Inches\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA brick dome cooks by radiating stored heat down from a curved ceiling. The Maximus Prime pizza oven has no dome inside; it has a flat false ceiling with a channel above it. Build the fire at the back of the floor. Flame and hot gas roll forward under the ceiling toward the door, because the door's air holes are the only way in and the chimney at the back is the only way out. At the front the gas turns up behind the door, climbs over the false ceiling, and travels back along the channel to the flue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bit of heat in a Maximus Prime pizza oven passes over the cooking chamber twice, once under the ceiling on the way to the door and once above it on the way to the chimney. The ceiling becomes a hot plate over the pizza, the tiles soak heat from the fire beside them, and the whole chamber comes to temperature in about 30 minutes on a fire of three or four splits. It is why the Prime burns five to seven pounds of hardwood an hour rather than fifteen: nothing goes straight up the flue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maximus Prime pizza oven's ceiling is 12.5 inches over the floor, three inches higher than the Mobile's, and that changes how it cooks in two ways. Pizza gets a little less top heat from the ceiling and a little more from the flame, so a loaded pizza with a wet center finishes evenly rather than scorching on top. And roasting gets a real chamber: a whole bird on the spit, a Dutch oven with the lid on, a rack of vegetables over a tray of potatoes.

When the dial reads past 400°C and the ceiling has burned clean, rake the coals to the back and one side, keep one or two splits burning on top of them for flame, and the oven is ready. A 12 inch pizza goes in beside the fire and comes out in two to three minutes with a quarter turn halfway through, the crust blistered from the tile and the top colored by the flame, as above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the 35.4 inch floor changes is the rhythm. With the fire at the back you have room for three or four 12 inch pizzas at once, launched in sequence and turned in sequence, so the Prime runs a queue rather than a single ticket. APO's 80 pizzas an hour figure assumes exactly that: a steady fire, a peel in each hand, and pizzas going in as others come out. A family pizza night for twelve is one fire and forty minutes of cooking. A market stall with a line is the same oven working all afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things to know before the first pizza in a Maximus Prime pizza oven. The dial reads the air near the front and lags the tile during the heat up, so go by the clean ceiling rather than the needle, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/hpc-fire-fdp-infrared-gun-forno-de-pizza-digital-infrared-thermometer-gun\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eHPC Fire infrared thermometer\u003c\/a\u003e tells you the real floor temperature that the dial cannot. And the floor near the fire runs hotter than the floor by the door, so rotate pizzas between positions as well as turning them. The Prime's wider mouth makes that easy; the Mobile's 15.5 inch door does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWood matters more in the Prime than in a gas oven because the flame is part of the cook. Kiln dried oak, hickory, or maple in 8 to 10 inch splits gives a clean, steady fire; softwood, treated wood, and anything green smokes the chamber and the pizza. Our guide to the \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/wood-types-best-for-pizza-oven-flavor-guide\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003ebest wood for a pizza oven\u003c\/a\u003e covers species and moisture, and a bag of dried hardwood runs a full pizza night in this oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eRoasting, Baking, and the Prime Rotisserie\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the pizzas, or instead of them, the Maximus Prime pizza oven is a roasting oven with a live flame and a chamber big enough to use as one. Put the door back on, leave the air holes open, and the chamber settles to a steady 250 to 300°C with the coals at the back. A half sheet pan of vegetables goes through the 20 inch mouth flat; a spatchcocked chicken roasts in about 40 minutes with a skin no kitchen oven gives it; a pork shoulder takes the afternoon on the coals with the door on and the fire fed hourly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a whole chicken, a duck, or a rolled roast turning over the fire, APO makes a separate \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-rotisserie-spit\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eMaximus Prime rotisserie spit\u003c\/a\u003e, a free standing stainless frame with its own drip pan that sits on the tile floor and turns by hand from a handle outside the mouth.

The owner above parked a Black Prime on its cart beside a stone outdoor kitchen's built in grill: no base, no masonry, and the oven moves if the layout changes. The maker asks that the cart be ordered with the oven so the two ship together; a cart shipped alone is a fragile parcel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mxp-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/apo-maximus-prime-black-tiled-outdoor-kitchen-counter-firewood.webp?v=1790182492\" alt=\"Black Maximus Prime set into a tiled outdoor kitchen counter with firewood stored below\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second answer is a counter or a base you build, and because the Prime weighs about 400 pounds rather than 1,250, the base can be a block wall with a paver cap, a poured counter, or a framed and tiled outdoor kitchen like the one above, with the oven set into the run beside a plancha and the firewood stored underneath. Any level, non combustible top rated for 400 pounds will do. The base plate is 39 inches square, so plan a top of about 42 by 42 inches to leave a lip for the peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mxp-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/apo-maximus-prime-red-wood-cart-deck-fire-lit.webp?v=1790182595\" alt=\"Red Maximus Prime on a wooden cart on a backyard deck with a fire going\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third answer is a cart you already own or build. The Red Prime above lives on a timber cart with casters on a deck, a fine solution if the top is non combustible and the casters lock. Clearances from APO's guide are 2 inches at the sides, 16 inches above the chimney cap, and a non combustible landing in front of the door, because the mouth and door plate get hot even though the sides do not. Under a roof or a porch, plan a flue run above the 5.9 inch chimney the way you would for a wood stove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight is worth a minute. The cooking floor sits a few inches above the base plate, so a base of 30 to 34 inches puts the floor between about 34 and 40 inches, where most people want it for a peel. Lower than 30 means bending to the oven all night; taller than 40 makes it hard to see the back of a pizza. If the oven is going on a counter beside a grill, match the grill's cooking surface height and you will be close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eThe Food Truck Pizza Oven: Trucks, Trailers, and Catering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mxp-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/apo-maximus-prime-red-food-trailer-serving-window.webp?v=1790182350\" alt=\"Maximus Prime pizza oven installed inside a red food trailer at the serving window\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the use the Maximus Prime pizza oven was built for, and the one APO puts first on its own page. A food truck pizza oven has to heat fast, burn little, and keep up at the window, and a Prime in a trailer, as above, heats in 30 minutes before service, burns a few pounds of wood an hour, turns out 80 pizzas an hour, and costs a fraction of a purpose built pizza trailer. The oven is the easy part of a mobile pizza business; the permit is the hard part, so here is where the oven fits into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost state and local health departments write their mobile food unit rules from the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/food\/fda-food-code\/food-code-2022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eFDA Food Code\u003c\/a\u003e, which is the model behind retail food regulation in every state, and they inspect the unit rather than the oven. Ventilation over the mouth, fire suppression, clearances to the walls of the truck, and the flue through the roof are the questions your inspector will ask, and a truck builder who has mounted a wood fired oven before will have answers. The Prime has no gas line, no electrical load, and no moving parts, which simplifies most of that conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your inspector will only sign off on a listed commercial appliance, or the concept runs on gas rather than wood, the listed alternative on this site is the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/omcan-48080-48081-48082-gas-countertop-pizza-oven\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eOmcan commercial countertop pizza oven\u003c\/a\u003e, a cETLus and ETL Sanitation listed natural gas oven with the propane kit in the box and no electrical connection, in 24, 32 and 36 inch outside widths.

It does not travel like the Mobile does; it travels on a pallet or a trailer, with the chimney and door out and the tiles and dish packed separately.

Indoor installation of any wood fired oven is a local code question, hood, flue, and clearances first, and the oven does not answer it; your fire marshal and hood installer do. And a restaurant that wants a bread program on stored heat should look at a brick dome.

Its walls are stainless and aluminum, not mortar and cement, so there is no water to drive out and no shell to crack. What it wants is two or three small first fires, each an hour or so, before the first full heat. The refractory tiles and the cast stone front hold some moisture from manufacture and shipping, and a gentle start lets it leave without spalling a tile. After that, fire it as hot as you like, up to the 500°C mark on the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare is what you would do for any stainless grill. Sweep the ash out when the oven is cold, lift a tile now and then to brush the frame, and wipe the aluminum skin with soapy water; the powder finish is tough but it is paint, so no abrasives.

The freight is free because the oven clears our $750 threshold on its own; the one charge at checkout is the $95 liftgate fee every oven over 150 pounds carries at a home address. Shipping to a business with a loading dock or forklift? Contact us and we refund it. We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico, and a remote or mountain address may carry a carrier surcharge that we confirm with you before the oven ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlan the move from the curb before delivery day; the Installation row and the FAQ below cover the lift.

Note any damage on the delivery receipt, even a cracked slat, because a signed clean receipt gives up most of your protection. Concealed damage found after opening has a five day reporting window. Unused ovens still in their crate can be returned within 14 days, with the return freight paid by the buyer, which is why we would rather answer every question before you order than process a return after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe warranty is three years on the structure, materials, and craftsmanship, on two conditions covered above: keep it covered when it is not in use, and if it goes on a truck or trailer, do the modification first. What separates dealers on this oven is delivery included, the cover and the cart on the same order, and who answers the phone afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, chat and email go straight to the owner, and a real answer usually comes the same day, including help choosing between the Prime and the Mobile, or between this and a brick dome, before you commit.

Set the oven on a surface rated for 400 pounds, about 42 by 42 inches and 30 to 34 inches high: a block base, a poured or framed counter, a stainless stand, or the APO Prime cart. Under a roof, run a flue above the chimney as you would for a wood stove; the maker's brick oven chimney extension does not fit this oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnpacking.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Maximus Prime pizza oven arrives crated on a pallet at the curb. Open the crate in place, lift out the chimney, door, dish, peel, thermometer, ash holder, and spare tile, and move the oven to its base on a pallet jack, an appliance dolly with straps, or with four people on the base plate, never by the stone front. Set it on the base, fit the chimney into its collar at the back of the dome, fit the cap, and screw the thermometer into its hole in the stone beside the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirst fires.\u003c\/strong\u003e Two or three small fires of an hour each, a few small splits of dry hardwood at the back of the floor, before the first full heat.

In about 30 minutes the ceiling burns clean and the dial passes 400°C. Rake the coals to the back and one side, keep one or two splits burning for flame, and cook pizzas through the open mouth, rotating between the hot side and the door side. For roasting and bread, set the door in place; its air holes feed the fire.

For a food truck or trailer, complete APO's securing modification (added bolts from the dome into the face with a 5\/32 inch concrete bit, a 7\/32 inch metal bit, and a 1\/4 inch nut driver, adequate suspension, oven tied down to the counter) before the first trip.

In a single month this summer three food truck operators came to us needing a listed gas oven their inspector would sign off on, and we had nothing to sell them. One bought this exact oven elsewhere while we were still finding an answer.

Certification: cETLus, the Intertek mark for the US and Canadian gas safety standard, and ETL Sanitation, the Intertek mark for the food equipment sanitation standard. Both marks are on the rating plate at the back of the oven and on Omcan's spec sheet linked in the documents tab. When an inspector asks for NSF, show the ETL Sanitation listing; most jurisdictions accept either mark on an ETL listed pizza oven this size, and yours has the final say.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFuel: natural gas as shipped, 32,000 BTU an hour, on a 3\/4 inch NPT connection at the rear. The kit to convert it to propane is in the box; a qualified gas technician swaps the burner orifice and the pilot nozzle and resets the regulator to 10 inches of water column. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectrical: none. There is no cord, no plug, no fan, no igniter board; the pilot is lit by hand at the front panel and a thermocouple shuts the gas if the flame goes out. Voltage questions do not apply to this Omcan pizza oven; a cETLus pizza oven with no electrical components has nothing to list on that line of the form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions for the plan: 24-1\/8, 32-1\/8, or 36-1\/8 inches wide by 26-3\/8 deep by 28-1\/4 tall on its legs, plus 8 inches of clearance to any combustible or heat sensitive wall at the sides and back. Ventilation for an Omcan commercial countertop pizza oven: Omcan requires a well ventilated location with make up air and calls for installation under a vent hood where regulations require it, which for a gas appliance of this size in most commercial kitchens and trucks means a Type I hood with suppression. Your authority having jurisdiction decides; the spec sheet and manual give them what they need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eThree Widths, One Commercial Countertop Pizza Oven\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOmcan names each Omcan commercial countertop pizza oven by chamber width, and that number is the baking floor, not the oven.

The racks give three positions 2-3\/4 inches apart, and two levels of half inch ceramic stone ride on them. On the 48080 each level is one 19 by 20 inch stone, as above. On the 48081 and 48082 each level is a pair of stones, as below, which is why Omcan counts four stones on those two ovens and two on the small one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding: 10px 0 20px 0;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/omcan-commercial-countertop-pizza-oven-open-door-four-stones.webp?v=1790556073\" alt=\"Omcan 48081 and 48082 countertop pizza oven with the door open showing four ceramic baking stones, two per rack level\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; border-radius: 8px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe U shaped stainless burner sits under the chamber floor and a V shaped baffle spreads its heat across the width, so the lower stone heats from below by conduction and the upper stone and the chamber ceiling heat by convection; Omcan calls it top and bottom heating, and in practice the lower level bakes a crisper base and the upper level bakes more evenly on top. Move a pizza up for the last minute if the bottom is running ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA double wall body with insulation between the skins keeps the outside warm rather than hot, and keeps the heat in the stones between pizzas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stones lift out for cleaning and are a stock Omcan part; so are the racks, the burner, the thermostat valve, the pilot and the thermocouple. Every part on this Omcan commercial countertop pizza oven has a number in the parts breakdown for its width, linked in the documents tab, which matters more on a truck at a fair than it does in a kitchen with a spare oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eNatural Gas From the Factory, Propane Kit in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis natural gas countertop pizza oven ships set up for natural gas with a 3\/4 inch NPT connection at the rear, 3 inches in from the side, and burns 32,000 BTU an hour at full fire on every width. Omcan's spec sheet rates the chamber to 650°F; the manual gives the working range on the thermostat as 300 to 650°F, and that is the range to plan around. The thermostat valve holds a set temperature the way a deck oven does, so once the stones are up the Omcan commercial countertop pizza oven cycles the burner rather than running flat out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor propane, the conversion kit that ships in the box holds the smaller main burner orifice, the propane pilot nozzle, and the conversion rating plate that goes beside the original at the back. A qualified gas technician swaps the orifice and nozzle, flips the regulator converter cap from NAT to LP so it delivers 10 inches of water column, adjusts the pilot flame, leak checks every joint with soapy water, and fits the plate. Omcan is explicit that the kit is installed by a qualified service agency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a truck the same technician runs the line from the tank cage, with a step down regulator if the supply pressure is above 1\/2 psi, and the Omcan commercial countertop pizza oven is ready for the inspector with a propane plate on the back and a propane tank on the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLighting this Omcan commercial countertop pizza oven is manual and it is simple. Open the bottom plate, press the red button on the front panel and hold a lighter to the pilot for 20 seconds, then release. When the pilot holds, turn the main gas on and set the thermostat. The pilot stays lit between services; to shut down, turn the burner knob to off and close the gas supply upstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first light of a new oven or a new tank takes longer because the line is full of air; if the pilot will not hold, turn it off, wait five minutes, and try again. No battery, no spark module, nothing to fail on an Omcan commercial countertop pizza oven that has to light at 10 in the morning at a fair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eOn a Food Truck or Trailer: Gas Pizza Oven for Food Trucks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA truck build has three problems a backyard never sees, and this oven answers all three. Power: a truck runs on a generator or shore power with every watt spoken for, and a gas pizza oven for food trucks that needs no electricity is the difference between adding an oven and adding a second generator. Certification: the mobile food inspector wants a listed appliance under a listed hood, and the cETLus and ETL Sanitation marks on this Omcan pizza oven are the marks they are looking for. Width: the 48080 is 24-1\/8 inches, which fits a line that a 36 inch deck oven never will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePropane is the normal truck fuel and the kit is in the box. Have the propane conversion done and leak checked by the same gas technician who plumbs the truck, before the oven goes in, so the rating plate on the back matches the fuel on the tank when the inspector reads it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen treat the Omcan commercial countertop pizza oven like any other gas appliance on the line: secured to the counter or the shelf so it cannot walk under braking, 8 inches from any combustible wall at the sides and back, 6 inches at the rear for service, and under the hood with the suppression nozzle aimed at it. Omcan's manual covers the fixed installation; your truck builder and inspector cover the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne honest line about heat. This is a 650°F ceramic stone oven, which is New York style, bar pie, flatbread, and everything that bakes, in five to eight minutes. It is not a 900°F Neapolitan oven and it will not be one on any fuel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the truck is a wood fired concept and the inspector will accept a residential rated oven with a securing modification, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-mobile-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMaximus Mobile\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-portable-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMaximus Prime\u003c\/a\u003e are the ovens for that and each has a truck section on its page. If the concept is volume and consistency on gas, this Omcan commercial countertop pizza oven is the oven, and it is the only listed gas countertop we sell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eWho Else Buys This Oven\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrucks are the loudest buyers of a commercial gas pizza oven this size, not the only ones, and an Omcan commercial countertop pizza oven with no cord earns its counter space in a long list of small operations. Concession stands and fair vendors buy it for the same reasons, no power and a listed mark. Bars and breweries buy it to add a pizza menu to a kitchen that has a hood and a gas line but no room for a deck oven. Cafes and bakeries run flatbreads and pastries on the two levels through a morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGhost kitchens and shared commissary space buy the 48082 because a 36 inch oven with no electrical drop is the easiest piece of equipment to add to a leased bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConvenience stores and gas station delis buy it for the slice program. Pizzerias buy it as the overflow oven behind the main deck, or as the oven for a second concept out of the same kitchen. Hotel snack bars, campus dining, golf clubs, and caterers working from a licensed kitchen buy it for the same reason the trucks do: it is a natural gas countertop pizza oven that a facilities manager can approve from the spec sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhoever you are, the answer to \"is it listed\" is yes, and the answer to \"what does it cost to run\" is 32,000 BTU an hour at full fire, which is a small fraction of a deck oven. A Omcan commercial countertop pizza oven that a line cook can light with a lighter, with no board to fail and every part numbered, is the least demanding piece of equipment on most lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eCooking on Ceramic Stones at 650 Degrees\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight the pilot, set the thermostat to 650°F, and give the stones 15 to 20 minutes; on the 48080 the top of that range is plenty, and on the wider ovens with four stones give it the full 20 or a little more before the first pie. Bake directly on the stone with a peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 16 inch New York pie on the lower level takes six to eight minutes with one turn; a bar pie or a flatbread on the upper level takes four to six. Two levels mean one pizza can finish while the next one starts, which is how a small operation keeps a line moving on one oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA thermostat reads the chamber air, not the stone, and the stone is what bakes the base. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/hpc-fire-fdp-infrared-gun-forno-de-pizza-digital-infrared-thermometer-gun\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003einfrared thermometer\u003c\/a\u003e we sell reads the stone surface in a second, and it is the tool that stops a busy hour from turning into pale bottoms as the stones give up heat faster than the burner puts it back. Between pies the burner cycles and the stones recover; if the bottoms start to lag, leave a minute between loads or drop the next pie on the upper level for the first two minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chamber of this Omcan commercial countertop pizza oven is a plain box with a door that drops flat, so it bakes anything that fits on a 20 inch deep stone: sheet trays of wings, garlic knots, calzones, stromboli, pretzels, roasted vegetables, a half hotel pan of pasta. Omcan's own copy mentions a souffle, which is optimistic for a stone oven, but at 300 to 400°F on the thermostat it is a competent bake oven and on a truck it is often the only oven. Keep the stones dry: a damp stone cracks on the first fire, and a stone with oil soaked into it smokes. Sweep, do not wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eInstallation: Counter, Clearances, Hood, and Gas Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet the oven on a firm, level, non combustible surface rated for its weight, 160 to 265 pounds depending on width, and level it on the adjustable legs so the stones sit flat and the door seals. Omcan requires 8 inches of clearance from the side and back panels to any combustible or heat sensitive wall, wood, plasterboard and the like, or a heat shield on the wall, plus 6 inches at the rear for service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe location for an Omcan commercial countertop pizza oven needs enough make up air for combustion and nothing blocking the flow of combustion and ventilation air; the manual calls for a well ventilated area under a vent hood where regulations require one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gas connection is an authorized installer's job, in Omcan's words and in most codes, and the warranty is void on a defective installation. Use pipe sealant rated for gas on every joint, verify the line pressure before connecting, use a step down regulator if the supply is above 1\/2 psi, and leak check every joint with soapy water, never a flame. Verify the fuel matches the rating plate; if it does not, the technician fits the conversion kit before lighting. Above 2,000 feet of elevation the rating derates 4 percent per 1,000 feet, which matters when you are sizing a hood or a tank for a mountain event.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDay to day care on an Omcan commercial countertop pizza oven is what any stainless appliance wants: a damp cloth with a mild detergent, rinsed and dried, never chlorine, never a water jet into the body, never steel wool that leaves rust in the grain. Wipe salt and acid off the steel before they sit. If the oven will stand idle, clean it, dry it, oil the steel lightly and shut the gas upstream. Omcan recommends an annual check of the ignition, the flame failure device, and the thermostat range by a qualified technician, and on a truck that check belongs on the same calendar as the hood cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eCommercial Use Only: the Warranty, and Who Should Not Buy It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOmcan covers this Omcan commercial countertop pizza oven for one year, parts and labor, through its network of authorized service technicians; within the warranty period you call Omcan, they schedule a technician to repair the oven where it stands, and unauthorized maintenance voids the coverage. Register the oven at Omcan's website when it arrives. The warranty covers component failures, not improper use, and it does not cover an oven installed in a residential or non commercial setting. Omcan states that plainly in the manual and reserves the right to decline shipment for residential use, which is why we do too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo if you want a gas pizza oven for the backyard, this is not it, and we would rather say so than sell you an oven with no warranty.

Freight on this line is charged at the rate shown at checkout for the width you choose, and that rate covers curbside liftgate delivery to a commercial or residential address; it is not under our residential free shipping rule, and this Omcan commercial countertop pizza oven is not eligible for site coupons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA business with a loading dock or a forklift can often take a dock delivery for less; ask through chat before you order and we quote it.

When the pallet arrives, inspect it before you sign. Note any damage on the bill of lading, open the box if you can and check the oven, and report anything wrong to us within 24 hours so Omcan can open the carrier claim; a written damage report is due within three days of delivery, and a clean signature gives up nearly all of that protection. Keep the box and packing until the oven is installed and lit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause an Omcan commercial countertop pizza oven is commercial equipment shipped to order from the manufacturer, there are no returns on this line except for carrier damage noted at delivery or a defect covered by Omcan's warranty. Measure the counter, read the manual linked below, and ask before you order: chat and email go straight to the owner, and a real answer usually comes the same day, including which width fits your line and whether your inspector is likely to want the hood.

The Omcan commercial countertop pizza oven ships set up for natural gas, and the propane conversion kit is in the box: the main burner orifice, the pilot nozzle, and the conversion rating plate. A qualified gas technician fits the parts, flips the regulator cap to LP for 10 inches of water column, adjusts the pilot, leak checks, and fixes the plate.
