Collection: Summerset Pizza Ovens

Why Summerset Pizza Ovens Stand Apart

Most hybrid ovens live on a cart or a stand. A Summerset pizza oven is built for the outdoor kitchen counter, which is exactly where a lot of our buyers want the oven to live. The 32 inch hybrid puts two fires in one countertop footprint: a 40,000 BTU stainless gas burner on natural gas or propane for steady, controlled weeknight cooking, and a wood rack with its own 9,000 BTU starter burner for a real wood fire that pushes the chamber to 932 degrees F. That is genuine Neapolitan territory, right in the range the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana specifies for a true Neapolitan bake, and the oven runs one fuel or the other, never both at once, which is how Summerset keeps the gas ports clean under a wood fire.

The details are built for people who cook, not just people who buy. The interior and body are #443 stainless, the floor is 390 square inches of cordierite in two stones over a bed of insulation stones, the mouth is about 18 inches wide, and the 18 inch stainless chimney carries a damper and a louvered vent cap. A stainless wood rack with an ash tray keeps the fire side manageable, a glass viewing window in the stainless door lets you watch the bake without dumping heat, piezo ignition on each knob means no electrical connection, and the front panel thermometer reads the chamber for roasts and bread as well as pizza. The oven is ETL listed, and Summerset backs the construction, stainless, burners and valves with its Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty. In our hybrid lineup the Summerset pizza oven sits squarely in the middle: hotter and more refined than our value dual fuel pick, well under the price of our premium refractory tier.

The Summerset Lineup

One oven in two gas versions, plus two purpose-built add-ons. Everything Summerset makes for this oven is designed to ride in the same order.

Wood Mode, Gas Mode, and the Gas You Choose

Two knobs sit on the front panel, one badged Gas and one badged Wood, and they run two different fires that share one stone. In gas mode the 40,000 BTU L shaped burner along the back and right of the chamber brings the door gauge to about 575 degrees F in 10 to 15 minutes, and the knob holds whatever temperature a roast, a loaf or a weeknight pizza wants. In wood mode two stainless covers go over the gas burner, the 9,000 BTU jet burner under the rack lights the hardwood, and the wood takes the chamber up to 932 degrees for the flame and the smoke. Summerset's manual is firm that the oven runs on wood or gas, never both at the same time, and the covers are the reason: ash stays out of the gas ports, and gas never collects under a cover. If you want a hybrid that burns both together, that is the HPC Fire Forno on this site; the Summerset is the hybrid that does each fuel properly on its own.

The gas is chosen when you order. The OV-HYB is natural gas, for a counter with a gas line stubbed to it, and ships with its regulator set to 4 inches of water column; the OV-HYBL is propane, for a 20 pound cylinder on a standard Type 1 valve, with its regulator and hose in the box. The orifices are factory set for the gas on the rating plate, so pick the version that matches your kitchen before checkout and we will help you confirm which you have.

Where a Summerset Pizza Oven Lives

The oven body is 25 inches wide, 25 3/4 deep and 21 tall, about 32 by 34 by 41 inches overall with the chimney, cap and handle, and it weighs about 227 pounds on four adjustable stainless feet. It sits on a non combustible counter or tabletop, level in all directions, outdoors only, and Summerset does not allow it to be built into an island or a cabinet; it is a countertop oven, not an insert. Clearances from the manual are 2 inches to a non combustible wall or backsplash, 16 inches to a combustible wall (14 with protection), and 5 feet to anything overhead, with a 1,000 CFM exhaust hood required under a combustible roof. Measure the counter against those numbers before you order, and if you are not sure, send us a photo through the contact page and we will check it against the manual.

Is the Summerset Hybrid Right for You

Buy It for the Counter and the Two Fires

This is the oven for a finished or planned outdoor kitchen where counter space exists and cart clutter is unwelcome. Gas handles the Tuesday pizzas with knob-turn simplicity and a 10 to 15 minute preheat, and the wood fire comes out for weekends, reaching temperatures our value dual fuel oven cannot touch. The 390 square inch floor takes a 16 inch pizza or two smaller ones side by side, and the stainless chamber, the viewing window in the door, the chimney damper and the front gauge make it a true outdoor oven, not a single-trick pizza machine: roasts, bread, and seared dishes are all in play. The lifetime warranty on the construction and burners is the other reason to choose it over the thin steel ovens at this size.

The Add-Ons Worth Grabbing in the Same Order

The HYB-OAK 4-piece tool kit is built specifically for this oven, so you are cooking the day it arrives instead of piecing together generic tools. And because this oven is designed to live permanently on a counter, the fitted deluxe cover is closer to required than optional; Summerset's warranty excludes weather discoloration and surface rust, and the cover is what keeps those off the stainless. Add both to the oven order and they ride on the same pallet at no cost.

Who Should Skip the Summerset

Honest answer: three kinds of buyers. If you have no counter and no plans to build one, this oven has nowhere to live, and a cart or stand model from our hybrid collection fits your patio better. If budget rules, the Kokomo 32 delivers dual fuel with its own stand for less, just at lower temperatures. And if you want the showpiece refractory build, the HPC Fire tier is the step up. For the outdoor kitchen owner in between, the Summerset pizza oven is the cleanest answer we sell.

Shipping, Warranty, and Buying From Crustify

Every Summerset pizza oven ships free by freight carrier on a pallet, about 227 pounds, curbside with liftgate delivery included, so the driver lowers it to your driveway at no charge. That is roughly $300 to $400 of freight to most of the country, more to the mountain West and the Northeast, and none of it shows at checkout. Orders over $750 also ship free, so the tool kit and the cover added to the oven order ride along at no cost. Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are quoted case by case. Inspect the carton before you sign and note any visible damage on the freight receipt; Summerset wants concealed damage reported within 5 days and out of box claims within 30, so unpack it when it lands.

As an authorized Summerset dealer, every oven we sell ships new from Summerset Grills with the Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty intact: lifetime on the construction, stainless, burners, burner covers, valves, flame tamer and gauge, three years on everything else, parts only, validated by registering the oven at amddirect.com within 30 days of purchase. Our price match guarantee and financing options both apply. If you have a question before you order, including whether your counter and gas run will work, call 877-281-OVEN and you will reach the owner, not a call center.

These are the questions buyers actually ask us before ordering a Summerset pizza oven. If yours is not covered here, use the chat bubble in the corner. Chat goes straight to the owner, and you will typically get a real answer the same day.
