It is a compact countertop gas pizza oven that punches well above its weight class, earning a reputation among owners and the industry alike as a genuine overachiever for its category. Kucht itself calls it a \"little beast\" and the description fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe cooking chamber is built from high-thickness stainless steel inside and out, the same material Kucht uses across its professional-grade kitchen appliance lineup. That construction choice is not cosmetic. High-thickness stainless steel holds and radiates heat more effectively than thinner gauge alternatives, which translates directly into more consistent cooking results and a longer service life under regular use. Paired with a firebrick-lined cooking surface, the Napoli delivers the kind of bottom-up heat that creates a properly structured pizza crust, the crispy textured base that separates a genuinely good pizza from a merely acceptable one. Firebricks absorb heat from the dual gas burners, hold it evenly across the entire cooking surface, and eliminate the hot spots that uneven surfaces create.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe dual-burner system is one of the Napoli's most important technical differentiators at this price point. Two independent burners working together deliver a combined 28,000 BTUs of cooking power. The rear burner drives even heat circulation throughout the interior dome, while the floor burner drives bottom heat directly into the firebrick surface for rapid crust development. Both burners are independently adjustable from the front control knobs, which means you are not just turning a single dial up and down but genuinely managing top and bottom heat as separate variables, the same way a professional pizzaiolo manages their oven. That level of control is unusual in a countertop oven at this price point and it shows in the results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/kucht-napoli-gas-pizza-oven-color-series-red-yellow-stainless.webp?v=1789498175\" alt=\"Kucht Napoli propane gas countertop pizza oven color series in red, yellow, and stainless steel with dual burner controls and chimney\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 800px; display: block; margin: 20px auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe oven reaches cooking temperature in under 20 minutes from a cold start. Once up to temperature, the Napoli can produce a true Vera Pizza Napoletana in under two minutes. For anyone who has spent time in Naples or eaten at a serious Neapolitan pizza restaurant, that claim is significant. Two-minute pizza at proper high heat is not a marketing phrase, it is a specific cooking style that requires both the temperature and the heat distribution to be right, and the Napoli delivers it consistently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBeyond pizza the adjustable chimney lets you regulate draft and temperature precisely, opening it wide for high-heat pizza sessions and dialing it back for slower, lower-temperature cooking when you are working with bread, meat, or roasted vegetables. The built-in temperature gauge gives you a continuous view of what is happening inside. The stainless steel door seals heat in between cooks and launches, and the high-quality manual control knobs feel solid and precise rather than cheap and flimsy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFour adjustable legs level the oven on virtually any surface, whether your countertop is perfectly flat or slightly uneven.

Two independent burners, a firebrick cooking floor, genuine Neapolitan pizza in under two minutes, and a 4-year parts and labor warranty from a brand that backs its products with real support. But buyers researching the Napoli tend to have specific questions before committing. Which color model is right for them? Where can it live? What is the difference between the countertop version and the freestanding cart setup? Does the firebrick floor really make a difference over a standard cordierite stone? We have answered the most common questions we hear from buyers researching the NAPOLI-S, NAPOLI-R, and NAPOLI-Y directly and honestly so you can buy with confidence.

The Venice brings that same philosophy outside. It is a full-sized, freestanding wood-fired pizza oven built from heavy-duty high-thickness stainless steel inside and out, designed for the outdoor cook who wants genuine performance without having to compromise on quality, capacity, or style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat sets the Venice apart from most ovens in its class is the combination of a firebrick-lined interior floor and a substantial stainless steel dome working together. Firebricks are not just a spec on a sheet. They absorb wood heat slowly, hold it deeply, and release it consistently from below as your pizza cooks. That direct contact between the firebrick surface and your pizza base is what creates the structured, crispy crust from the bottom up that you simply cannot achieve on a cordierite stone alone or in a conventional oven. The dome and walls work simultaneously from above and around the food, creating a fully enveloping heat environment that cooks everything in it more evenly and quickly than a flat-ceiling design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe interior dimensions of 31 inches wide by 22 inches long by 15 inches high give you a genuinely spacious cooking chamber. Two 12-inch pizzas fit comfortably side by side, and there is room beyond pizza for roasting meats, baking artisan bread, searing vegetables, and working through a full outdoor dinner spread. The oven reaches 660°F in approximately 45 minutes of firing, with adjustable chimney airflow control letting you regulate temperature and draft throughout your cook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe stainless steel door features a 20 inch wide by 8 inch high opening, sized correctly for launching and retrieving pizzas without the awkward angles that too-small doors create. An integrated temperature gauge sits visible at all times so you know exactly where you stand without opening the door and dropping your heat. The adjustable chimney lets you fine-tune airflow the way any experienced wood-fired cook knows to do, opening it wide for the initial fire-building phase and closing it down once you have established your cooking temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe cart is built to match the oven in construction quality. Stainless steel throughout, with four locking casters that give you full mobility to position the setup where you want it and lock it firmly in place. Two foldable side tables extend out when you are working and fold back flat when you are done, giving you prep and landing space without permanently widening the oven's footprint when not in use. The lower shelf provides storage for your wood supply, keeping your fuel close at hand during a long cooking session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Venice is available in three finishes: classic stainless steel, bold red, and bright yellow. The color options are not just aesthetic. They give buyers the ability to make the oven a visual centerpiece of their outdoor kitchen rather than just another piece of stainless equipment blending into the background. For a buyer who has invested in a well-designed outdoor space, the ability to choose a finish that actually contributes to the overall look matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKucht backs the Venice with a 4-year warranty on parts and labor from date of purchase, which is one of the strongest warranty commitments in the wood-fired oven category at this price point.

For buyers seriously considering the Venice the questions tend to be practical and specific. How long does it actually take to reach 660°F? Does the firebrick floor genuinely outperform cordierite stone or is it just a marketing distinction? Which color variant, the VENICE-S, VENICE-R, or VENICE-Y, is right for their outdoor kitchen? What wood performs best in it? We have pulled together the most common questions we hear from buyers researching the Venice and answered them directly and honestly so you can make a confident decision before you buy.

That layer is why the Pinnacolo PREMIO holds temperature between pizzas instead of dropping with the flame: the heat that reaches the outer wall is what escapes, and the fiber blanket keeps most of it inside. The outside stays hot enough to respect, cool enough that the stainless does not discolor in normal use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe floor is cordierite stone edge to edge, 29.5 inches wide by 25.25 inches deep, 745 square inches. Cordierite absorbs heat slowly, gives it back evenly, and resists the thermal shock that cracks cheaper stones when a cold pizza lands on a hot floor. On a Pinnacolo PREMIO that floor is what crisps the base; the dome above it finishes the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe door is tight fitting stainless with a wooden handle that stays cool during a cook, so you can open and close it without gloves once the oven is running. A stainless visor above the opening keeps smoke residue off the front of the dome. Above the dome, a 24 inch chimney with an adjustable damper is the throttle: open it to pull the fire hard during heat up, close it partway to hold a steady cooking temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"prm-h2\"\u003eHow the Pinnacolo PREMIO Cooks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight a small stack of dry hardwood at the back of the floor with kindling, let it catch, and build it up over the first twenty minutes with the damper open. Plan on about an hour to a saturated dome; cold weather and damp wood push that longer. When the soot on the dome burns off to a clean gray and the floor reads 650°F or better, push the coals to one side with the included fire separator and sweep the floor with the brush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing the fixed dial on the front will not tell you: it reads the air in the dome, and on a Pinnacolo PREMIO the stone lags the dial by 150°F or more for the first half hour. That gap is the reason the infrared thermometer is in the box. Point it at the floor, wait for 650 to 800°F, then launch. Pizzas at that range cook in two to four minutes with a quarter turn every minute; push the floor past 800°F and the bottom burns before the top is done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo 12 inch pizzas fit side by side on the floor, and with a steady hand and dough ready to go the Pinnacolo PREMIO turns out a pizza every couple of minutes once it is running.

Wood fire or gas. Authentic flavor or weeknight convenience. The Pinnacolo IBRIDO refuses that choice entirely.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIBRIDO means hybrid in Italian and that name is the entire product philosophy in a single word. This is a genuine dual fuel freestanding pizza oven that runs on real hardwood or propane gas in the same cooking chamber without compromise in either mode. Switch between them based on the session, the occasion, the weather, or however much time you have. A Saturday afternoon with guests coming over calls for wood fire and the theater that comes with it. A Tuesday night when dinner needs to happen in 30 minutes calls for gas. The IBRIDO handles both without requiring you to own two ovens or make a permanent lifestyle decision at the point of purchase.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe cooking chamber is built around a double-wall insulated dome finished in a durable black porcelain enamel coating, the same material used inside conventional home ovens, applied here specifically because it handles repeated thermal cycling, moisture exposure, and the demands of outdoor use across multiple seasons without degrading. The insulation between the two walls retains heat efficiently in both fuel modes, which means the oven reaches and holds temperature without requiring excessive wood volume or extended gas burn time.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe cooking surface is wall-to-wall cordierite stone covering 745 square inches, approximately 29.5 inches by 25.25 inches. Cordierite is the right material for this application. It is thermally shock resistant, which means it can move from ambient outdoor temperature to 800°F and back repeatedly without cracking the way cheaper ceramic stones eventually do. It conducts heat aggressively into the base of the dough, which is what produces a genuinely crispy structured crust rather than the soft underside you get from a baking tray or a steel plate.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn gas mode the rear-mounted 35,000 BTU propane burner lights via electronic ignition with a press and turn start. Rear mounting keeps the burner out of the loading zone when you are working with a pizza peel, which is a practical detail that makes a real difference during an active session. A stainless steel burner cover protects the burner when you switch to wood mode. In wood mode the lower cart section provides protected storage for your fuel supply alongside the propane tank storage area, keeping wood dry and accessible without cluttering your cooking space.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTwo 14-inch stainless steel side shelves extend your working surface on both sides of the oven. A fixed thermometer mounted on the oven gives you a continuous ambient temperature reading without opening the door. An adjustable chimney damper lets you control airflow and temperature precisely in both fuel modes. A front-mounted crossbar with S-hooks keeps your peels and tools organized at the oven rather than scattered across a prep table.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFour locking swivel casters give you full mobility to position the oven exactly where your session needs it and lock it firmly in place once positioned. The full stainless steel construction on both the oven and the matching cart is built to live outdoors year-round in whatever conditions your backyard produces.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe IBRIDO ships with a complete accessory package already in the box.

generates a specific set of questions that buyers researching the IBRIDO tend to arrive with before purchasing. How does switching between fuel modes actually work in practice? What is the dome made from and how does it compare to the L'ARGILLA thermal clay model? Does it work with natural gas or propane only? How does it compare to the wood-only PREMIO? We have answered the ten most common questions buyers ask before purchasing the IBRIDO directly and honestly so you can make a confident decision.

You get the convenience of a gas burner and give up the visual drama and heat character of a dome-shaped oven built from traditional materials. The Pinnacolo L'ARGILLA refuses that trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is the only oven in the Pinnacolo lineup built with a thermal clay exterior, a composite clay and cement construction that replicates the igloo profile of ancient Pompeii ovens not just in appearance but in the way it actually performs. The dome shape is not decorative. It is functional. The curved interior geometry wraps heat around whatever is cooking from every angle simultaneously, creating an enveloping thermal environment that flat-ceiling ovens and barrel-shaped competitors simply cannot match. When you are cooking pizza in the L'ARGILLA, the heat is working on the top and sides of your food at the same time as the cordierite stone beneath it, which is how authentic Neapolitan pizza develops its characteristic blistered top and structured crispy base together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe power source is a 50,000 BTU rear-mounted gas burner with a simple press and turn mechanical ignition. There is nothing complicated about starting this oven, no lighter, no kindling, no waiting for wood to catch. Press, turn, and within ten minutes your cordierite cooking surface is above 600°F and ready to work. The rear mounting keeps the burner out of your way during cooking and loading, which is a thoughtful detail that makes a real practical difference when you are launching and retrieving pizzas quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/PPO-8-08-12-cooking2.jpg?v=1718137963\" alt=\"Pinnacolo L'ARGILLA Thermal Clay Gas Pizza Oven PPO-8-08\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 800px; display: block; margin: 20px auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGas power also means something important for versatility. Because you are not managing a wood fire, temperature control is precise and repeatable. You can push the oven to its 800°F plus peak temperature for fast Neapolitan-style pizza with charred leopard spotting on the crust, or dial it back for slower roasting, bread baking, and searing where sustained moderate heat produces better results than extreme temperatures. The oven handles both modes equally well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 26.5 inch diameter interior gives you 3.83 square feet of cooking space, enough to run two full-size pizzas simultaneously or give you the room to work with a larger cast iron, a whole bird, or a wide baking vessel. The outside of the oven stays safe to touch during operation, which matters when you have guests nearby or children around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe cart is stainless steel with a lower rack sized for propane tank storage, keeping your fuel supply tucked neatly underneath rather than sitting loose beside the oven. Four locking casters give you full mobility to position the oven exactly where you want it on your patio or outdoor kitchen space, and lock it down once it is there.

buyers who want to understand what they are actually getting before spending $3,495. What exactly is thermal clay and why does it matter? How does a gas oven compete with wood fire on flavor and heat character? Can it really reach cooking temperature in under 10 minutes? What happens when you want to switch from propane to natural gas? These are the right questions to ask about an oven that looks and performs differently from every stainless steel alternative on the market. We have answered the most common questions we hear from buyers researching the L'ARGILLA directly and honestly so you can buy with full confidence.

Gas models prioritize convenience and speed at the cost of authentic wood-fired flavor. Wood-only models deliver the smoky character you are after but require planning, fire management, and time. The Kokomo Grills 32-inch Dual Fuel Pizza Oven does not make you choose. It runs on wood, lump, or pellets when you want the full wood-fired experience, and switches to propane or natural gas when you want consistent high heat without building and managing a fire. Both fuel modes operate in the same oven, on the same ceramic cooking surface, with the same 800°F maximum temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThat temperature ceiling is significant. At 800°F, authentic Neapolitan pizza cooks in 90 seconds. Thin crust comes out with the blistered underside, charred edges, and fully melted top that only intense direct heat can produce. The cooking surface is engineered to reach and hold that heat: high-temperature ceramic pizza stones line the floor of the cooking chamber, absorbing heat across their full surface and releasing it evenly into the dough sitting above them. There are no hot spots where one pizza chars while another sits pale. The ceramic surface heats consistently across its 906 square inches, which is enough space to run multiple pizzas simultaneously or experiment with cast iron skillets, baking dishes, bread loaves, and anything else that benefits from the kind of dry, enveloping heat that only a properly built outdoor oven can produce.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/Kokomo_Dual_Fuel_Hybrid_Pizza_Oven_32-inch-CPO.jpg?v=1776895477\" alt=\"Kokomo Dual Fuel Hybrid Pizza Oven 32-inch\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 800px; display: block; margin: 20px auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 35,000 BTU gas burner is the performance engine behind the gas cooking mode. That output is what allows the Kokomo to preheat rapidly and recover temperature quickly between pizza launches, the two practical bottlenecks that slow down every pizza session. In wood or pellet mode, the same ceramic surface absorbs combustion heat from below while smoke from the burning fuel flavors everything cooking above. The ash clean-out tray underneath the cooking chamber makes post-session cleanup straightforward. Slide it out, dispose of the ash, and the oven is ready for its next use without the residue cleanup that defeats some owners of wood-fired equipment.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe stainless steel door features a wooden handle that stays cool to the touch even at maximum operating temperature, which matters more than it sounds when you are launching and retrieving pizzas at 800°F. A 6.5-foot stainless steel exhaust flue stands tall enough to keep heat and smoke well away from your face and work area during the cook. The flue includes an adjustable damper that gives you precise airflow control, which directly affects temperature stability in both fuel modes.

two things well rather than compromising one to serve the other. The dual fuel capability is not a marketing label applied to an oven that really prefers one fuel type. Gas mode runs on a full 35,000 BTU burner with electronic ignition and reaches 800°F. Wood, lump, and pellet mode uses the same ceramic cooking surface and the same exhaust flue with the same 800°F ceiling. Both modes produce real results on real food. Buyers researching the Kokomo dual fuel pizza oven tend to arrive with a specific set of questions that go beyond what most competitor pages answer. Can it actually be used as a built-in if you are building an outdoor kitchen island? What fuel types does it accept beyond just wood and gas? How does the 6.5-foot flue affect the cooking experience in practice? What does the tiered warranty actually cover and for how long?

The HPC Fire Forno is built differently, and the difference starts with the oven body itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Forno's dome is cast as a single seamless piece from refractory material with walls that are a full two inches thick. That wall thickness is not a rounding-up claim, it is an engineering specification. Two-inch refractory walls withstand internal temperatures up to 2,400°F, retain heat twice as long as thinner alternatives, and allow the oven to reach cooking temperature twice as fast and burn fuel at twice the efficiency of conventional oven constructions. That is not marketing language, it is how refractory thermal mass behaves at scale. The Forno's dome geometry follows the same ancient principle behind traditional Neapolitan wood-fired ovens, using a curved interior to create a rolling convection heat wave that circulates from the flame source outward and back, bathing every inch of the cooking surface in even, consistent temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe result is that the Forno does something most portable ovens cannot. It generates three simultaneous heat modes in a single cook. Conduction heat rises from the hearth surface directly into the bottom of your pizza. Radiant heat comes off the dome walls and surrounding refractory material. Convective heat circulates through the chamber from the burner or fire. That combination of all three heat transfer modes working at once is what professional brick ovens rely on for speed and quality, and it is what lets the Forno produce a genuine Neapolitan pizza in under 90 seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe dual fuel system gives you complete flexibility at every session. The electronic ignition gas burner lights immediately and holds precise temperature, making gas mode the right choice for consistent repeated cooking or when time is short. Switch to wood and the character of the cook changes entirely. Smoke flavor penetrates differently in a high-mass refractory dome than in a thin-walled stainless oven, and the thermal mass holds through long sessions without the temperature swings that wood fire naturally creates in lighter constructions. The stackless front ventilation design is a specific engineering decision: rather than directing heat and smoke upward through a chimney, the Forno manages airflow through advanced front venting, which keeps heat inside the dome more efficiently and gives the oven a cleaner, more contemporary exterior profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/HPC-Forno-2.jpg?v=1718903804\" alt=\"HPC Fire Forno Series Hybrid Dual Fuel Pizza Oven\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 800px; display: block; margin: 20px auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt 870 square inches of cooking surface, the Forno has enough room to run multiple pizzas simultaneously, work through a full roasting session, smoke proteins low and slow, or bake bread in quantity. This is genuinely a three-in-one outdoor cooking appliance: a pizza oven, a conventional oven, and a smoker, all operating from the same refractory chamber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe exterior is handcrafted glass mosaic tile applied over the refractory dome using a proprietary high-temperature mortaring formula engineered to maintain its bond and appearance under repeated extreme heat cycling. Six standard tile colors are available, and custom colors can be ordered through American Glass Mosaics for buyers who want the oven to match a specific outdoor space aesthetic. Every oven is individually handcrafted, which means no two are exactly alike. That hand-tiled finish is not just visual. It provides a weather-resistant outer layer that protects the refractory dome from the elements between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe powder-coated black steel cart is built to carry an oven that weighs approximately 445 to 450 pounds, which is a serious structural requirement. Four locking caster wheels give you full mobility to position the oven wherever your session needs it and lock it firmly in place once there. The cart's storage shelves keep accessories within reach during a cook. The entire setup can be disassembled for transport if needed, which is unusual for a 450-pound oven and a genuine advantage for buyers who want to take it to events or move it seasonally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe electronic ignition system uses 2D batteries lasting six to twelve months or accepts a standard 3-volt DC adaptor. The stainless steel door is sold separately, allowing buyers to customize the setup.

point, and it is also one of the most frequently misunderstood. Buyers coming from the stainless steel countertop oven world often have questions about how a refractory dome oven performs differently, what dual fuel actually means in practice, and whether an oven weighing nearly 450 pounds is genuinely worth the investment over lighter alternatives. The short answer is yes, and the reasons are specific. We have pulled together the most common questions we hear from buyers researching the Forno Series and answered them honestly so you can make a confident decision before you buy.

You either get a built-in unit that installs cleanly but gives you a lightweight oven that cannot hold professional cooking temperatures, or you get a heavy commercial-grade oven that turns installation into a construction project. The HPC Fire Villa Series was engineered to eliminate both compromises at the same time.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Villa is the lightest authentic dual-fuel brick oven built for permanent outdoor kitchen installation on the market, coming in at approximately 400 pounds total across the hearth and oven components. That weight figure matters because the Villa achieves it without sacrificing the 2-inch thick refractory dome that is responsible for its cooking performance. Two-inch refractory walls withstand temperatures up to 2,400°F internally, reach 1,000°F cooking temperature, and retain heat long enough to run a full pizza session without constant fire management. The Villa does not ask you to trade weight savings for performance. It delivers both.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInstallation is genuinely straightforward by the standards of a permanent built-in outdoor kitchen oven. Three steps complete the process. The insulated hearth, approximately 200 pounds, installs directly into your countertop opening and acts as both the cooking foundation and a thermal jacket that protects surrounding combustible materials from heat damage. The four hearth sections slide into the custom stainless steel flange that defines the oven's countertop footprint. Then the refractory oven dome, approximately 195 pounds, sets on top. Two people can complete a full installation in approximately 30 minutes. The counter must be at least 35 inches deep to accommodate the oven's profile.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/HPCVilla4.jpg?v=1718394396\" alt=\"HPC Fire Villa Series Hybrid Dual Fuel Wood \u0026amp; Gas Burning Pizza Oven-Built-In\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 800px; display: block; margin: 20px auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Villa's cooking system is identical in principle to the Forno Series cart oven but optimized for permanent kitchen integration. A left-side gas burner runs on liquid propane or natural gas and uses the same 3V electronic flame-sensing auto ignition that makes gas starts safe, fast, and reliable without requiring an electrical connection. Place hardwood on the burner, ignite it, and the gas assists the fire to cooking temperature in approximately 20 minutes, which HPC notes is about 40 minutes faster than a traditional wood-fired approach. When time is short, skip the wood entirely and run on gas alone. When flavor is the priority, let the wood take over once it is established and shut the gas off. The dual-fuel system gives you both options in a single permanent installation.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe cooking geometry is the Villa's real differentiator as a built-in oven. The 870 square inch hearth surface accommodates two pizzas simultaneously. The high-hood dome design creates a specific airflow pattern that circulates heat 360 degrees around whatever is cooking, wrapping it in radiant, convective, and conductive heat simultaneously. That triple-heat-mode cooking is what produces the blistered crust and evenly melted top that a Neapolitan pizza requires, and it is what makes the Villa capable of smoking, roasting, baking, and searing with equal effectiveness beyond pizza sessions.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe stackless front ventilation system is a deliberate design choice. Rather than a chimney protruding from the oven roof and breaking the clean sightline of a finished outdoor kitchen, the Villa vents through the front stainless steel flange. Airflow is managed through this integrated vent design, which keeps heat inside the dome more efficiently and gives the installed oven a finished, architectural appearance rather than an industrial one.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe exterior is the same handcrafted glass mosaic tile finish available on the Forno cart oven, applied over the refractory dome with a proprietary high-temperature mortaring formula that bonds through repeated extreme heat cycling. Six standard colors are available, and custom tile options can be ordered through American Glass Mosaics for buyers with specific outdoor kitchen design requirements. Every oven is individually handcrafted, meaning the tile work on each Villa is unique.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe stainless steel door is sold separately and is worth adding for low-and-slow smoke sessions where keeping heat contained over extended periods matters. The FDP-ACCESSORY-KIT is also available separately and provides everything needed to start cooking immediately after installation.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMade in the USA by HPC Fire Inspired and backed by a 2-year warranty on materials and workmanship.

Buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HPC Fire Villa Series FDP-VILLA occupies a specific and valuable position in the outdoor pizza oven market that most buyers do not fully understand until they research it carefully. It is not a countertop oven that happens to look built-in. It is a permanent outdoor kitchen installation built around the same 2-inch refractory dome technology that makes the Forno cart oven one of the most technically capable pizza ovens available, packaged specifically for buyers who are designing or upgrading a serious outdoor kitchen and want a pizza oven that integrates architecturally rather than sitting on top of a counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt approximately 400 pounds total installed weight it is also the lightest authentic dual-fuel brick oven built for permanent installation on the market, which matters enormously when countertop structural capacity and installation logistics are part of the planning conversation. Buyers researching the Villa tend to have very specific questions about counter depth requirements, installation steps, fuel options, and how it compares to the Forno cart version. We have answered the most common ones honestly and directly so you can plan and buy with full confidence.

If you are planning an outdoor kitchen build from scratch, commissioning a masonry or stone structure, designing a custom backyard focal point, or working with a contractor to create something that looks permanent and custom-built rather than installed into prefabricated cabinetry, the Di Napoli is the HPC Fire oven engineered for that project. It ships as a complete five-piece pre-assembled unit: the refractory oven, the stainless steel hearth, the ready-to-finish enclosure, the chimney stack, and the refractory arch that finishes the front opening. You set it in place, build your structure around the enclosure, run your finishing material over the exterior, and the result looks like a fully custom-built outdoor oven that was designed specifically for your space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe oven itself shares the same core refractory construction as the Forno and Villa Series. The dome is a single-piece casting with 2-inch thick walls rated to withstand internal temperatures up to 2,400°F, reaching a maximum cooking temperature of 1,000°F. That wall thickness is what separates serious permanent pizza ovens from everything lighter. Two-inch refractory retains heat long enough to run a full pizza session without constant fire management, recovers temperature between launches quickly, and distributes heat across the dome consistently so every pizza in a batch receives the same cooking environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/HPC_Fire_Di-Napoli-Series_Built-In_Hybrid_Pizza_Oven-CPO.jpg?v=1776885295\" alt=\"HPC Fire Di-Napoli-Series Built-In Hybrid Pizza Oven\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 800px; display: block; margin: 20px auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe dual fuel system gives you gas or wood at every session. An electronic 3V flame-sensing auto ignition system starts gas operation safely and reliably without requiring an electrical connection. Place hardwood on the burner, turn it on, and the gas assists the fire to cooking temperature. Once the wood has caught and built up its own heat, shut the gas off and cook on pure wood fire. Or run on gas alone when you want fast, repeatable results without managing a fire. The dual fuel approach does not compromise either mode. Gas is full-power gas. Wood is full-power wood. You choose based on the session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 870 square inch cooking surface accommodates two full-size pizzas simultaneously. The high-hood dome geometry creates 360-degree heat circulation, wrapping whatever is in the oven in radiant, convective, and conductive heat simultaneously. That triple-heat-mode environment is what produces the blistered Neapolitan crust and evenly melted top that makes a genuinely great pizza, and it is equally capable of handling smoking, roasting, baking, and searing beyond pizza sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe included chimney stack is a 36-inch long, 6-inch diameter Dura-Tech double-insulated stainless steel stack.

Buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HPC Fire Di Napoli FDP-DINAPOLI is the most misunderstood oven in the HPC Forno de Pizza lineup because it serves a completely different buyer than the Forno cart oven or the Villa built-in. It is not an oven you install. It is an oven you build around. That single distinction makes it the right choice for a very specific kind of outdoor kitchen project, and the wrong choice if that project is not what you are planning. Buyers researching the Di Napoli tend to arrive with a specific set of questions that no other pizza oven page answers well. What exactly is included in the five-piece unit? What does ready-to-finish actually mean in practice? How does it differ from the Villa? What finish materials work over the enclosure? Can you really run it on wood or gas or both? We have answered all of these directly and honestly so you can determine whether the Di Napoli is the right oven for your project before you buy.

It covers every stage of the pizza-making process from dough prep through launching, in-oven management, and post-session cleanup, with tools dimensioned and specified for the HPC oven opening and cooking surface rather than generic kitchen alternatives. Buyers researching this kit before purchasing tend to have a small and specific set of questions. What exactly is in the box? Is it included with the oven or a separate purchase? What does each tool actually do in practice? How long is the pizza peel and will it reach the back of the oven?

That works fine at the scale of a traditional Neapolitan brick oven where centuries of refinement have balanced the relationship between flame and cooking surface. At the scale of a freestanding outdoor oven, it creates practical problems: ash in your food, interrupted cooks every time you add wood, and limited space because the firebox takes up room that could otherwise hold a second pizza.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Tuscan Chef GX-C2 is engineered around a different approach. The oven has two separate chambers stacked vertically. The lower chamber is a dedicated firebox. The upper chamber is where you cook. The two chambers are connected by vents on both sides of the oven that allow smoke to travel upward from the fire into the cooking space, delivering the smoky flavor of traditional wood-fire cooking without the ash, the disruption, or the space compromise. You can load wood into the lower chamber mid-session without touching anything in the upper chamber. The food never sees ash. The cooking surface never gets crowded out by the fire.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe cooking chamber itself gives you two working surfaces simultaneously. A 1 and one quarter inch thick ceramic cooking stone sits at the floor of the upper chamber, absorbing intense heat from below and delivering it directly into whatever sits on its surface. A removable stainless steel wire shelf above it creates a second level, effectively doubling your working capacity compared to a single-surface oven. That combination is what lets the GX-C2 cook two 18-inch pizzas at the same time, or run a 20-pound turkey alongside sides, or hold multiple dishes at different temperatures across the two levels simultaneously.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe construction is built to hold serious cooking temperatures for extended sessions. The exterior is 6mm quarter-inch welded steel plate with high-heat flat black paint on all steel surfaces. The sides and top wrap the fire and oven chambers in 2 full inches of insulation before finishing in 304 stainless steel. The fire chamber door is 1-inch thick refractory fire brick with an adjustable damper for precise airflow control. That layered construction is what allows the GX-C2 to sustain temperatures between 700 and 900°F comfortably, reach a peak of 950°F when needed, and hold cooking temperature consistently without constant wood additions. To maintain 700°F you add wood approximately every 20 to 30 minutes. Lower temperature cooking requires wood every 40 minutes.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe temperature range is one of the GX-C2's strongest practical advantages. At the low end, 250°F gives you a gentle baking environment for bread and delicate items. At the high end, 950°F gives you the intense heat that creates a genuinely blistered pizza crust in around four minutes. The full range from 250 to 950°F makes the GX-C2 capable of handling virtually any outdoor cooking application: pizza, roasting meats, smoking, baking bread and desserts, cooking whole birds, searing shellfish, and anything else your kitchen can produce.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe stainless steel chimney with spark guard vents smoke cleanly upward. A stainless steel thermometer mounts on the outside of the oven door so you can read internal temperature without opening the door and dropping heat. Stainless steel round side handles make repositioning the oven on its cart manageable. The cart itself rolls on four heavy-duty 4-inch swivel casters with locks, and includes a lower storage rack for your wood supply.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAssembly is straightforward. The GX-C2 arrives 95 percent pre-assembled and requires approximately 30 minutes to complete. An initial curing session of approximately one hour prepares the oven for full-temperature cooking. It can be used year-round including cold climates, provided you heat it up gradually in winter conditions.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBacked by a 2-year parts warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tuscan Chef GX-C2 is one of the most practical and versatile freestanding wood fired pizza ovens available at its price point, and the reason comes down to a single engineering decision that most buyers do not fully appreciate until they have cooked on it. The dual-chamber design that separates the firebox from the cooking chamber changes the entire experience of wood fired cooking in ways that a spec sheet does not fully capture. No ash in your food. No interrupted cooks when you need to add wood. Two full cooking surfaces instead of one. A temperature range that runs from low and slow roasting all the way to 950°F pizza heat. Buyers researching the GX-C2 tend to have very specific questions before committing. How does the dual chamber actually work in practice? Can it really cook two 18-inch pizzas at once? What does assembly actually involve? How does it perform in winter?

A 1.25-inch ceramic stone forms the floor of the cooking chamber while a removable stainless steel wire shelf above it creates a second level, giving you two to four times more usable cooking space than similarly priced ovens.\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- FAQ 3 --\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee; padding:5px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv onclick=\"this.parentElement.querySelector('.faq-answer').style.display = this.parentElement.querySelector('.faq-answer').style.display === 'block' ?

It shares the same core engineering as the GX-C2, the same dual-chamber firebox design, the same 2-inch insulated construction, the same dual cooking surfaces, and the same 950°F maximum temperature, but adds two permanent stainless steel side shelves built into the cart frame on both sides of the oven. Those shelves change the practical experience of cooking on this oven in ways that are difficult to overstate until you have worked through a busy session handling multiple dishes, tools, peels, and serving plates with nowhere to put them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe side shelves are not an accessory. They are part of the cart structure, which means they are always there, always at the right height, and always stable enough to hold a heavy cast iron pan or a loaded pizza peel while you manage the oven. Anyone who has cooked on a cart oven without side shelves and then switched to one with them immediately understands why this distinction matters. The workspace around the oven is as important as the workspace inside it during a serious cooking session.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe cooking system itself is the same proven dual-chamber design that separates the Tuscan Chef lineup from most of its competitors. The lower chamber is a dedicated firebox. The upper chamber is where cooking happens. Two side vents connect the chambers, allowing smoke to rise from the fire into the cooking space and impart authentic wood-fired flavor without allowing ash to contaminate your food. You load wood into the lower firebox and your food never comes in contact with flame, ash, or disruption. When you need to add wood mid-session, you open the lower fire door, load more hardwood, and close it again without touching anything in the cooking chamber above.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe cooking chamber gives you two simultaneous working surfaces. A 1.25-inch thick ceramic cooking stone sits at the chamber floor, absorbing intense heat from below and delivering it consistently into whatever cooks on its surface. A removable stainless steel wire shelf above it creates a second level for a second pizza, for side dishes, or for anything that benefits from the slightly different temperature environment of the upper position. Together the two surfaces give you two to four times more usable cooking capacity than a single-surface oven of comparable size.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe wider 34-inch footprint of the GX-B1 compared to the GX-C2's 27.5-inch width also means a wider fire chamber interior, 21 inches versus 20 inches, giving you more room to work with larger pieces of hardwood and maintain heat more easily over extended sessions. The overall oven profile is the same 92-inch total height with chimney and cap.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eConstruction follows the same specification as the rest of the Tuscan Chef lineup. The exterior is 6mm quarter-inch welded steel with high-heat flat black paint on all steel surfaces. The sides and top are wrapped in 2 full inches of insulation before finishing in 304 stainless steel. The fire chamber door is 1-inch thick refractory fire brick with an adjustable damper for precise airflow and temperature control. A stainless steel thermometer mounts externally so you can monitor internal temperature without opening the oven door and dropping heat.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTemperature range runs from 250°F at the low end for gentle baking through to 950°F at peak for high-heat pizza sessions. A thin crust pizza cooks in approximately 4 minutes at 650°F. Holding 700°F requires adding wood approximately every 20 to 30 minutes.

through what a full cooking session actually looks like in practice. It has everything the GX-C2 has, the separate firebox, the two cooking surfaces, the 2-inch insulated 304 stainless construction, the 950°F capability, but it adds two permanent stainless steel side shelves and a wider 34-inch footprint that fundamentally changes how much you can accomplish in a single session. Buyers cross-shopping the GX-B1 and GX-C2 tend to have the same core questions. What exactly do the side shelves add in practice? How does the dual-chamber design actually work? What is the real difference between the two models beyond the dimensions? Can it cook two full-size pizzas at once? How does it perform through a full winter season? We have answered the most common questions we hear from buyers researching the GX-B1 directly and honestly so you can make a confident decision before you buy.

The GX-B1 handles serious entertaining with its added side shelves and wider footprint. The GX-D1 is what you buy when both of those ovens are not big enough for what you are trying to do.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt 46 inches wide and 700 pounds of oven, the GX-D1 is the largest freestanding wood-fired pizza oven in the Tuscan Chef portable lineup and one of the largest production wood-fired outdoor ovens available at any price point. Its cooking chamber is 36.25 inches wide and 18.5 inches deep, giving you enough floor space to run three 18-inch pizzas simultaneously, or two 20-pound turkeys at the same session. This is not a home pizza night oven. It is an oven built for the buyer who regularly feeds large groups, runs outdoor cooking events, or wants the kind of capacity that means nobody waits for the next round to come out.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe scale of the GX-D1 does not change the fundamental engineering that makes the Tuscan Chef lineup distinctive. The dual-chamber design is exactly the same as on the GX-C2 and GX-B1. The lower chamber is a dedicated firebox lined with 1-inch thick refractory fire brick to withstand sustained high-temperature burning. The upper chamber is the cooking space, separated from the fire by the chamber wall and connected to it by vents on both sides that allow smoke to travel upward and flavor everything cooking above. The result is the same as it is on the smaller models: authentic wood-fired smoke character in your food without ash contamination, and the ability to add wood mid-session without touching anything you are cooking.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhere the GX-D1 differs from the smaller ovens in practice is in how it handles heat at scale. The larger fire chamber interior, 38.5 inches wide by 16 inches deep, accommodates larger pieces of hardwood and more wood volume per load, which means longer sustained burns and less frequent wood additions during a long session. The 2-inch insulation surrounding both chambers, wrapped in 304 stainless steel, holds operating temperature more consistently across a 46-inch cooking width than smaller ovens can across their narrower profiles. This is relevant when you are running three pizzas at once and need consistent temperature across the full cooking surface rather than hot and cool zones.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/Tuscan_Chef_GX-D1_Freestanding_with_Wheeled_Cart_or_Countertop_Wood-Fired_Pizza_Oven.jpg?v=1776893121\" alt=\"Tuscan Chef GX-D1 Freestanding with Wheeled Cart or Countertop Wood-Fired Pizza Oven\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 800px; display: block; margin: 20px auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe cooking chamber gives you two simultaneous working surfaces. A 1.25-inch thick ceramic cooking stone forms the chamber floor, absorbing intense heat from below and releasing it evenly upward into whatever cooks on its surface. A removable stainless steel wire shelf above it creates a second working level for additional pizzas, side dishes, or dishes that benefit from slightly different temperatures at upper height. The combination gives you two to four times more usable cooking space than single-surface ovens of comparable footprint.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eConstruction follows the full Tuscan Chef specification. The exterior is 6mm quarter-inch welded steel with high-heat flat black paint on all steel surfaces. The exterior wrap is 304 stainless steel over 2 inches of insulation surrounding both chambers. The fire chamber door is 1-inch thick refractory fire brick with an adjustable damper for precise airflow control. An external stainless steel thermometer lets you monitor internal temperature without opening the oven door. Spiral heat-deflecting metal handles on both the fire chamber door and the oven door make operation safer during high-temperature sessions.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe cart is proportionally sized for a 700-pound oven and rolls on five heavy-duty casters with two locking wheels.

At 46 inches wide, 760 pounds total, and built to cook three 18-inch pizzas or two 20-pound turkeys simultaneously, it is engineered specifically for buyers who have outgrown what smaller ovens can deliver. If you regularly cook for large groups, host outdoor events, want commercial-level capacity in a freestanding residential oven, or simply refuse to run multiple cooking rounds while guests wait, the GX-D1 is the oven the rest of the Tuscan Chef lineup builds toward. Buyers researching the GX-D1 tend to arrive with very specific questions. How does it compare to the GX-B1 in practical terms? Can it really sustain heat consistently across a 46-inch cooking width?

The oven itself is identical to the GX-D1 in every performance respect. Same 46-inch width. Same 700-pound oven. Same dual-chamber design. Same 36.25-inch wide cooking chamber.

Three 18-inch pizzas simultaneously means you can run a full pizza service for a large group without any staging or waiting. Two 20-pound turkeys at the same session means Thanksgiving or a large outdoor dinner can happen in a single cook.

The lower chamber is a dedicated firebox lined with 1-inch thick refractory fire brick. The upper chamber is the cooking space. Two side vents connect them, allowing smoke to travel upward from the fire and flavor everything in the cooking chamber while ash remains completely contained below. You never need to remove food, manage ash contamination, or disrupt your cook to add wood.

Buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tuscan Chef GX-DL is the oven for buyers who already know they want the largest Tuscan Chef cooking capacity and are planning a permanent outdoor kitchen installation to put it in. It is the same 46-inch dual-chamber oven as the GX-D1 in every performance respect, cooking three 18-inch pizzas simultaneously at up to 950°F, but it arrives without the cart because you are building something it will live in permanently rather than rolling it around a patio. That distinction creates a specific set of planning questions that buyers researching the GX-DL tend to arrive with. What surfaces can it actually be installed on? How does the 72-inch height with chimney affect countertop clearance planning? What does a 700-pound oven require in terms of structural support before it arrives? How does it compare to the GX-D1 beyond just the absence of a cart? We have answered the most common questions we hear from buyers planning a GX-DL installation directly and honestly so you can design and buy with full confidence.

The Summerset Hybrid Pizza Oven refuses that compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis countertop powerhouse gives you genuine flexibility at the flick of a knob. Load the stainless steel wood rack and let live fire do its thing, or dial in gas heat when you want fast, repeatable results without babysitting a flame. Either way, you're working with a commercial-grade chamber that climbs to 932°F and holds it, so whether you're chasing a blistered Neapolitan crust or a slow-roasted leg of lamb, the oven keeps up with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual-burner setup is what separates this oven from the crowd. A #304 stainless steel L-shaped tube burner handles gas cooking at 40,000 BTUs, delivering even, consistent heat across the full 390 square inches of cordierite cooking stone below. When you want wood, a dedicated gas-assist jet burner rated at 9,000 BTUs ignites your hardwood quickly and cleanly. No torch, no fuss, no waiting. Once the wood catches and builds, you get the real smoky depth that only live fire produces, with the ability to step back and let it run rather than constantly tending the flame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/Summerset_Hybrid_Oven_Lifestyle-CPO.jpg?v=1776715634\" alt=\"Summerset Hybrid Pizza Oven OV-HYBL\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 800px; display: block; margin: 20px auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the stainless steel wood rack keeps logs properly positioned for efficient combustion, and the integrated ash catch below makes cleanup far less of a chore than it sounds.

Pair that with the digital thermometer that reads ambient oven temperature alongside two meat probe inputs, and you have the kind of precision feedback that actually changes how you cook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePizza nights are the obvious use case, but this oven's real value shows up when you push past it.

It is priced and built like a serious long-term outdoor kitchen appliance, but it does something most ovens at any price point cannot do, which is genuinely switch between gas precision and live wood fire in the same cooking session without compromise. That combination generates a lot of specific questions from buyers who want to understand exactly what they are getting before committing to a $3,999 investment.

Its motorized cordierite stone rotates a full 360 degrees under the flame, so every inch of crust gets the same heat without you touching a peel mid-bake. Add a dual burner system pushing up to 950°F, and the Versa 16 outdoor pizza oven cooks a full 16-inch pizza, edge to edge even, in under 5 minutes, with nothing to babysit but your toppings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe carry the Versa 16 as our featured first-oven recommendation for exactly that reason. Most entry ovens ask a beginner to master launching, turning, and timing all at once, and the turning is where pizzas die. This one removes that variable on day one. It is the easiest path from box to genuinely good pizza that we sell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe market is full of portables that hit a big number for one pizza and fade on the second. What makes this one different is the combination you cannot get elsewhere at the price: a true rotating pizza oven with a motorized stone, a dual burner layout that reheats that stone from below between pies, and a propane pizza oven's turn-key convenience with a factory path to natural gas. A pizza oven with rotating stone cooking is usually a commercial feature; here it is the whole point of the design, at a first-oven price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/halo-versa-16-features-overview.webp?v=1787739776\" alt=\"Halo Versa 16 pizza oven feature overview with dual burners, 950 degree heat, and rotating stone\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; margin: 30px auto; border-radius: 8px;\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThe Rotating Stone Changes Who Can Make Great Pizza\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery pizza oven has hot spots. The side nearest the flame cooks faster, which is why traditional ovens demand you rotate the pizza with a turning peel every 20 to 30 seconds, and why one missed turn means a charred crescent on an otherwise perfect pie. The Versa 16 builds the turning into the oven itself: a 16-inch \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cordierite\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ecordierite\u003c\/a\u003e stone on a motorized carousel that revolves continuously under the burners. The stone material matters as much as the motion: cordierite soaks up heat and releases it into the base of the crust, which is what produces a crisp, evenly spotted underside instead of a pale one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe motor runs on the included AC adapter or two D batteries (batteries not included, so grab a pair with your first tank if you plan to cook away from an outlet), and the rotation works on a back patio and at a tailgate alike. And if you ever want to practice traditional turning, the rotation is yours to control; the oven does not force the assist on you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eTwo Burners, One Even Bake\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"float: right; width: 48%; max-width: 525px; padding: 0 0 18px 45px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/halo-versa-16-heat-tech-cutaway.webp?v=1787737686\" alt=\"Cutaway diagram of the Halo Versa 16 showing U-shaped top burner, infrared bottom burner, and rotating cordierite stone\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; border-radius: 8px;\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Versa 16 runs a dual burner system rated at 21,100 BTU total: a U-shaped burner below the stone driving heat up through the cordierite into the crust, and a curved top burner finishing the cheese and toppings from above. Between them, the chamber reaches up to 950°F ambient with the stone holding around 750°F, and the oven gets there in roughly 12 minutes from ignition, which is faster to cooking-ready than most full-size ovens we carry at any price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottom burner is also the answer to the question every experienced pizza maker asks: what happens on pizza number four? Because the stone is heated directly from beneath rather than coasting on stored heat alone, it recovers between launches in a couple of minutes instead of stalling. Back-to-back pizzas for a hungry table are what this oven was engineered for. Stretch the next pie while the stone recharges, and the pace never breaks.

At 21,100 BTU, a full 20-pound tank delivers many cook sessions before a refill, and turning the burners down once the chamber is hot stretches it further. For a patio with a plumbed gas line, Halo offers a natural gas conversion kit made for this oven, so you are never locked into tank logistics if your setup outgrows them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eMore Than Pizza\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hinged hood opens the whole chamber for loading, cleaning, and everything that is not pizza: sheet-pan vegetables, cast-iron sears, roasted wings, warm bread. The rotating stone that evens out a pizza bake does the same for anything else on it, and the burner dials run the oven anywhere from gentle roasting heat up to its full Neapolitan-class peak. Families that buy the Versa for Friday pizza night tend to find it lit on Tuesdays too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo practical notes from the dealer side of the counter. Run the hood closed for roasting so the chamber holds even heat, and use the rotation for anything in cast iron; a skillet that turns under the top burner browns like it came off a broiler line.

There is no assembly project, no curing schedule, and no chimney to fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the first cook, run the oven at full output for its 12-minute preheat plus a few extra minutes to burn off any manufacturing residue, then dial in and launch. Two beginner tips we give every Versa buyer: flour the peel generously and give it a confidence shake before launching, and trust the rotation, the urge to open the hood and check every thirty seconds just costs you chamber heat. By the second session, most owners are turning out pizzas they would have called restaurant-grade a week earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eWho the Versa 16 Is For, and Who Should Skip It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis oven is the right buy for the first-time owner who wants great pizza without a learning curve, the family cooking most weeks that needs pace between pies, the tailgater who wants real oven performance running off a 1-pound cylinder, and anyone whose past portable produced one good pizza and three mediocre ones. The rotating stone and burner recovery are aimed squarely at those buyers, and at this price nothing else we carry serves them better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonest reasons to skip it, because every oven has them. If live-fire flavor is the point for you, the Versa is gas only; look at our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/wood-fired\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ewood fired ovens\u003c\/a\u003e instead, where smoke and char are the product. If you are designing a permanent outdoor kitchen, a built-in refractory oven is the architectural answer, not a countertop unit. If you regularly need two or three pizzas cooking at once for large events, you want a bigger deck than one rotating 16-inch stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd if maximum thermal mass for hours-long sessions is your priority, that is what the premium tiers in our lineup are built for, at several times the spend. The Versa 16 does not pretend to be those ovens. It is the best version of what it is: the easiest, most consistent first pizza oven on our shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBuying From Crustify\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrustify is an authorized Halo dealer, which means full manufacturer warranty coverage on every Versa 16 we sell: 5-year parts, with 1-year coverage on electrical components and finish.

At 21,100 BTU total output, a standard 20-pound tank holds roughly 20 hours of full-blast burn, and real sessions use less since you dial the burners back once the chamber is hot.

First, the oven still cooks: the stone works as a standard pizza stone and you turn pies the traditional way, so a motor issue never ends pizza night.

A portable pizza oven or griddle earns its keep on flexibility, but that flexibility fades fast when the unit spends its life on a borrowed patio table with the propane tank sitting on the ground beside it. Halo built this cart as the dedicated base for its entire countertop family, and the details show it, from the tank bracket on the rear base to the drainage holes in the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tabletop and legs are \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cold_rolling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ecold rolled steel\u003c\/a\u003e under a powder paint coating, riding on four urethane casters that rotate a full 360°, two of them locking. It fits every current appliance in the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/halo\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eHalo countertop lineup\u003c\/a\u003e: the Versa 16 pizza oven, the Prime 300 pellet grill, and the Elite 1B griddle. One cart, three possible cooking stations, and a 30 inch working height that lands the cooking surface right where your hands want it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Drop-Down Drawer and a Place for Every Tool\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe feature owners mention first is the hidden drop-down storage drawer. Peels, cutters, an infrared thermometer, and gloves all disappear into the cart itself instead of migrating to the kitchen and back every session. During a cook, the drawer drops open for tool access without stealing any tabletop space, and when you are done, everything closes up clean. Pair it with the magnetic tool hooks on the frame and the Halo Countertop Cart keeps a full pizza night worth of gear organized in one rolling footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tabletop carries strategically placed drainage holes, a small detail that matters more than it sounds. Outdoor cooking surfaces collect rain, spilled marinade, and stone cleaning dust. On a solid top, all of that pools and sits. Here it drains through, which keeps the steel drier between uses and makes a post-cook wipe down genuinely quick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePropane Tank Storage That Rolls With You\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rear base of the Halo Countertop Cart holds a lock-in-place bracket sized for a standard 20 lb propane tank. That single feature changes how the whole station works. The tank stops being a loose object on the ground, the hose run stays short and out of foot traffic, and the entire setup, oven, fuel, and tools, rolls as one unit when you chase shade across the patio or wheel everything back to the garage. Releasing the tank for a refill takes seconds, and the bracket holds it firmly upright the rest of the time, which is exactly how propane cylinders are supposed to travel and sit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCold Rolled Steel, Powder Coat, and Casters That Lock\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHalo specs the same construction on the cart that it uses across its appliance line: cold rolled steel with a powder paint coating finish on both the tabletop and the legs, chosen for corrosion resistance in outdoor duty. At 45 lbs assembled, the Halo Countertop Cart has real mass under a countertop appliance, which is what you want when a peel is working a pizza on top of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four urethane casters rotate 360° for easy steering over pavers, deck boards, and garage concrete. Two of them lock. Set the locks before you cook and the cart plants itself; release them and a loaded station moves with one hand. It is a simple system with no adjustment points to work loose over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrom Cooking Station to Five Inches Flat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is the number that explains the collapsible design better than any marketing line: the Halo Countertop Cart ships in a box 5.18 inches thick. The detach and drop mechanism folds the whole cart to nearly flat, so off season storage means sliding it behind a shelf, not surrendering a corner of the garage. The same trick makes it a legitimate travel piece. Folded, it lays in a truck bed or SUV cargo area alongside the appliance it carries, then stands up in a minute at the tailgate, campsite, or rental house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/halo-countertop-cart-collapsible.webp?v=1787435776\" alt=\"Halo Countertop Cart folded flat for storage and tailgate transport\" style=\"max-width:500px;width:100%;border-radius:8px;\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere the Halo Countertop Cart Works Best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe natural pairing is the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/halo-versa-16-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eVersa 16 pizza oven\u003c\/a\u003e, and that is how most of our customers buy it: oven and cart together in one order, arriving as one delivery. The 30 inch tabletop puts the Versa's stone at a comfortable launch height, the drawer swallows the peel and cutter between pizzas, and the tank bracket feeds the oven without a hose stretched across the patio. The result reads like a purpose-built pizza station because that is what it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works just as well as a standalone prep and serving surface on cook days when the appliance stays home, and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/halo\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePrime 300 or Elite 1B\u003c\/a\u003e owners get the identical fit.

The cart comes fully boxed in that slim 32 by 27 inch carton, and the fold-out design means setup is a matter of standing it up and locking the structure open rather than working through a hardware bag. Give every joint a firm check, set the two locking casters, and place your appliance on the top. Load the propane tank into the rear bracket last, confirm it is locked in place, and route the hose the short distance to the appliance. From carton to first cook is a same afternoon job with time to spare for making dough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Should Buy the Halo Countertop Cart, and Who Should Skip It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy it if you own or are ordering a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/halo-versa-16-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eVersa 16\u003c\/a\u003e, Prime 300, or Elite 1B and the appliance currently lives on a table it was never meant for.

And buy it if storage space is tight, since nothing else in this category collapses to five inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkip it if you are building a permanent outdoor kitchen, where a built-in masonry or cabinet base will serve a fixed appliance better than any cart. Skip it if you run a different brand of countertop oven or griddle, because while the flat top may physically hold other units, Halo engineered the fit around its own appliances and we will not pretend otherwise. And skip it if what you really need is acres of prep surface, because this top is sized to carry the appliance, with the drawer and hooks handling tools rather than dough stretching space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuying From Crustify\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrustify Pizza Ovens is an authorized Halo dealer, which means every Halo Countertop Cart we sell carries full factory warranty coverage.

The Halo Countertop Cart is purpose-built for Halo's countertop appliances, and the Versa 16 pizza oven is the most popular pairing. The same top also fits the Prime 300 pellet grill and the Elite 1B griddle, so if you ever add a second Halo appliance, one cart serves both. The 30 inch tabletop height puts the oven at a natural working level for launching and turning pizzas.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 5px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"padding: 18px 20px; cursor: pointer; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; color: #2c3e50; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; transition: all 0.3s ease;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍕 Can I store a propane tank on the Halo Countertop Cart?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"pin-arrow\" style=\"font-size: 20px; transition: transform 0.3s ease;\"\u003e▼\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 20px; background: white; line-height: 1.6; color: #333;\"\u003eYes. The rear base carries a dedicated bracket that locks a standard 20 lb propane tank in place, so the tank rides on the cart instead of sitting on the ground. That keeps the hose short and tidy, protects the tank from tipping, and means the whole station rolls as one unit when you move it. The bracket is a lock-in-place design, and releasing the tank for refills takes seconds.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 5px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"padding: 18px 20px; cursor: pointer; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; color: #2c3e50; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; transition: all 0.3s ease;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍕 Is the Halo Countertop Cart collapsible for storage and travel?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"pin-arrow\" style=\"font-size: 20px; transition: transform 0.3s ease;\"\u003e▼\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 20px; background: white; line-height: 1.6; color: #333;\"\u003eYes. Halo's detach and drop design lets the cart collapse flat in about a minute, and the numbers tell the story: it ships in a box just over 5 inches thick. Collapsed, it slides behind a garage shelf, lays flat in a truck bed, or rides to a tailgate without claiming the whole trunk.

The flat steel top will physically hold many countertop units, but fitment, stability, and clearances are engineered around the Versa 16, Prime 300, and Elite 1B. Running another brand?

Instead of a loose universal tarp cinched over your oven, you get a precise, tailored fit that wraps the Versa 16's exact silhouette, seals out the weather, and stays put when the wind picks up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou spent real money on an oven that turns out 16 inch pizzas in about five minutes. Leaving it exposed to rain, snow, pollen, and summer sun is the fastest way to age it before its time. This cover is the cheapest insurance you can buy for that investment, built by the same company to the same standard as the oven it protects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eBuilt for the Versa 16, Not Stretched Over It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUniversal grill covers fail in predictable ways. They pool water in the slack fabric, they flap against the finish, and they slide off the first windy night. Halo took the opposite approach and cut this cover to the Versa 16's exact shape, so there is no extra material for gusts to catch and no gaps for wind-driven rain to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clever part is what happens when you take it off. Internal panels give the cover just enough structure to fold up flat and neat, and it hangs for storage instead of living as a crumpled ball in the corner of your patio box. Cover comes off, pizzas go on, and the cover stays folded flat until the last slice is served.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eAll-Weather Protection That Stays Put\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell is heavy-duty PVC-coated 600x300 denier polyester, the same class of fabric used on serious grill covers rather than the thin poly sheeting bundled with budget ovens. The PVC coating sheds rain and melting snow, the dense weave blocks dust and pollen, and a UV stability rating of 4 means the fabric itself resists sun damage through long southern summers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWind is what actually kills most covers. A wraparound elastic grips the oven's base and holds everything down in strong gusts, so you are not chasing your cover across the yard after every storm. Combined with the tailored cut, there simply is not much loose fabric for weather to grab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eSmall Details That Earn Their Keep\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe side pocket is sized for a 1 lb LP gas container, which fits how people actually use this oven. The Versa 16 was built to travel, with dual regulators that accept either a 20 lb tank or a 1 lb canister and a rotating stone that runs on D-cell batteries. The pocket keeps a spare fuel canister with the oven for tailgates, campsites, and park cookouts instead of loose in your trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also pairs naturally with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/halo-countertop-cart\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eHalo Countertop Cart\u003c\/a\u003e.

First, always let the oven cool completely before covering it, because trapped heat is hard on any fabric and the fastest way to shorten a cover's life. Second, when the cover picks up grime, wipe it down with mild soap and water and let it air dry fully before folding it flat for storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eWho Should Buy It, and Who Can Skip It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your Versa 16 lives outdoors between cooks, on a patio, a deck, an outdoor kitchen, or the Countertop Cart, buy the cover with the oven and never think about it again. Even a roofed patio leaves the oven exposed to dust, pollen, salt air, and blowing rain, and coastal and lakefront owners will notice the difference fastest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho can skip it? If your oven genuinely lives indoors in a garage or shed and only comes out on cook day, you can get by without one, though a season of garage dust makes a quiet case otherwise. Everyone else should treat the cover as part of the oven rather than an optional extra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eBuying From Crustify\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrustify Pizza Ovens is an authorized Halo dealer, so the cover you buy here is the genuine HZ-5004 backed by Halo's full 1-year warranty.

No mismatched grill tools pressed into pizza duty, no hunting for a peel that actually fits a 16 inch pie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery piece here answers a specific moment in pizza night. The bamboo boards where the pie gets built, the thin stainless blade that slips under a finished crust, the tongs that reach into a hot oven, and the mezzaluna that cuts a whole pizza in a few rocking strokes. It is the difference between owning a pizza oven and running one smoothly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eOne Handle, Three Peels\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit's smartest engineering hides in plain sight: the stainless slice server doubles as the handle for all three peels. Click it onto the 14 inch bamboo board for personal pies, the 16 inch bamboo for full-size prep and launch, or the stainless peel for retrieval, then use it on its own to serve slices at the table. One handle, four jobs, and a kit that stores compact because it is not carrying three redundant handles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eThe Right Peel for Each Job\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two bamboo peels pull triple duty. They are cutting boards during prep, launch surfaces when you build the pizza directly on the wood and slide it onto the stone, and serving boards when the pie comes off. Dough releases from bamboo more forgivingly than from metal, which is exactly what you want while you are still mastering the launch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16 inch stainless peel is the retrieval specialist. Its thin blade slides between crust and cordierite stone to separate a finished pizza cleanly, and it launches just as well once your dough skills catch up to your appetite. Between the three, every pie size the Versa 16 can cook has a matched surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eTongs and a Cutter Built for Pizza, Not Borrowed From the Grill\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless tongs are pizza-specific by design: one end slides flat under the pie while the other grips the crust, so you can rotate, check, or rescue a pizza deep in a hot oven without gouging the toppings. They handle bread, wings, and anything else you run through the oven too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mezzaluna cutter is the half-moon blade pizzerias actually use. A few rocking strokes cut clean through a whole pie, wheel-drag and topping smear eliminated, whether you are slicing a thin New York round or a Detroit style pan pizza.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eIt Lives in the Cart Drawer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your Versa 16 sits on the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/halo-countertop-cart\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eHalo Countertop Cart\u003c\/a\u003e, this kit has a home already built for it: the cart's hidden drop-down drawer is sized to hold the Cook + Serve pieces. Tools stay with the oven, the drawer drops open mid-cook for whatever you need, and pizza night stops involving a supply run to the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eCare That Keeps It Working\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash the pieces with mild soap and warm water. Dry the bamboo boards promptly instead of letting them soak, and rub in a little food-safe mineral oil now and then, the same habit that keeps any good cutting board from drying out. The stainless pieces ask for nothing more than a wash and a dry towel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eWho Should Buy It, and Who Can Skip It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy it with the oven if you are starting from zero on pizza tools, because the Versa 16 is only as smooth as the gear around it, and this kit covers the entire workflow in one box at a better price than assembling the pieces separately. Buy it as the upgrade if you have been launching pizzas off a cookie sheet and cutting them with a chef's knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkip it if you already own quality peels and a cutter you love; nothing here requires replacing gear that works. And know what is deliberately absent: there is no turning peel, because the Versa 16's rotating stone turns the pizza for you. That is not a gap in the kit, it is the oven doing that job itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eBuying From Crustify\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrustify Pizza Ovens is an authorized Halo dealer, so the kit you buy here is the genuine HZ-3022 with Halo's full 1-year warranty behind it.

Soap is wrong, water is mostly wrong, and the kitchen sponge never stood a chance. What a stone needs is a proper scrape, a stiff brush, and somewhere for the mess to go, which is exactly what this kit is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHalo built it specifically for the Versa 16, and it shows in the one place a generic stone brush never fits: the ash pan's concave edge is contoured to sit flush against the round 16 inch stone, so everything you scrape and sweep goes into the pan instead of into the burner wells below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eA Dual-Action Brush That Earns Both Halves of Its Name\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scraper brush leads with durable nylon bristles that lift ash, flour char, and loose debris off the stone's surface. For the stubborn stuff, melted cheese that carbonized, a sauce spill from an over-ambitious launch, the removable nylon scraper tip breaks baked-on residue free without gouging the stone the way a metal blade can. Bristles for the sweep, scraper for the spots, one tool for both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eThe Pan Is the Clever Part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny brush can push debris around; the question is where it lands. This pan's contoured edge nests against the stone so the sweep line has nowhere to leak, and its low profile slips under the debris path for fast, one-pass collection. Scrape, sweep, lift, dump. The stone is clean, the oven floor stayed clean, and pizza night's last chore took a minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eCold Stone Only, and Why That Is the Right Way\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit is made for use on a cold stone only, and that rule is worth understanding rather than just following. The nylon that makes these tools gentle on cordierite is not built for a surface that was recently at baking temperature, and neither are your hands. Let the oven cool after the cook, then clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cold-stone habit pairs with the golden rule of stone care: no soap, ever. Cordierite is porous and absorbs what touches it, so detergent becomes next week's off-flavor. Dry cleaning with a scrape and a brush is not the compromise method, it is the correct one, which is why a purpose-built kit beats improvising with kitchen gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eStorage Details That Show Somebody Thought About It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pan carries a built-in clip that secures the brush, the two pieces nest together, and the brush has a nylon hanging loop.

In practice that is still blistering pizza heat, and most families will notice only that the oven never runs out of fuel. If chasing the absolute top of the thermometer is your hobby, propane keeps the crown; if cooking without tank logistics is the goal, this is the better oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eWhat You Do, and What a Pro Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo halves to a natural gas setup, and it pays to know which is which before buying. The oven-side conversion is owner territory: minutes with the included instructions and wrenches. The house side, running a gas line to the patio or adding a shutoff and quick-connect outlet, is licensed-plumber work under local code, and we would rather tell you that now than in a support email later. If your outdoor space already has a gas outlet for a grill or fire table, you are the easy case: convert the oven, click it on, cook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eWho Should Buy It, and Who Can Skip It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy it if your patio has natural gas service, or you are planning an outdoor kitchen that will, and the Versa 16 is your regular cook.

Authentic Pizza Ovens' own tolerance sheet rates the dome to hold above 350°C, about 660°F, for around four hours after peak firing. That number is behind the second morning bread, the overnight braise, and a pizza floor that recovers between pies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lisboa pizza oven is built in three layers. The chamber is fire brick at roughly 40 percent alumina, rated for service around 1,200°C, in refractory mortar rated near 1,500°C, so the material touching the fire is nowhere near its limit at pizza temperature. Around that sits 50 to 80 millimeters of rockwool at 80 to 120 kilograms per cubic meter, held by steel mesh. The outer shell is calcium aluminate refractory cement with chamotte aggregate, 30 to 50 millimeters thick, at roughly 25 megapascals. Wall thickness runs close to six inches, and the outside stays cool enough to touch while the floor is at 800°F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"lis-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lisboa-brick-pizza-oven-rockwool-insulation-factory.webp?v=1789595759\" alt=\"Rustic Lisboa pizza oven finished on the Authentic Pizza Ovens factory floor in Portugal, with domes behind it still wrapped in rockwool insulation before the outer shell\" width=\"800\" height=\"465\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"lis-cap\"\u003eA finished Rustic Lisboa on the factory floor.

The Lisboa pizza oven arrives as one finished piece with the dome, floor, insulation, and shell already bonded, which is why it weighs what it weighs and why it needs a hoist, not a Saturday of assembly. And the hardware is cast aluminum, an Al-Si10Mg alloy at about 230 megapascals, on the door, the chimney cavity, and the chimney itself, with a 5 to 6 millimeter borosilicate viewing window. No galvanized or zinc coated part anywhere on the oven, so nothing near your food will flake or off-gas at temperature.

The Lisboa pizza oven is the taller dome with the taller opening, 15.5 by 12 inches, behind a cast aluminum door split like a barn door that swings left to right, the only Dutch door pizza oven in the range. Open the top half and you have a fire feature after dinner; open both and a spit runs straight through for a chicken, a leg of lamb, or a porchetta over live coals. The Pizzaioli's pull down door can do neither. That is the whole choice between the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the two share the same 31 by 31 inch floor and 19 inch dome height, so the Lisboa gives up nothing on pizza; two twelve inch pies side by side is normal use. The taller dome adds headroom for tall roasts, a lidded Dutch oven, and bread that wants to spring. It costs a narrower door than the Pizzaioli's 19.7 inches, which matters only for sheet pans wider than fifteen inches. For most buyers the Lisboa pizza oven is the more versatile of the two, and the rotisserie is the feature owners talk about most; it is a Lisboa brick oven first and a rotisserie pizza oven second. The same tall dome sits behind the stacked stone front of the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-ventura-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eVentura\u003c\/a\u003e and the squared gray front of the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-alto-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eLume Alto\u003c\/a\u003e, both of which take the spit as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"lis-h2\"\u003eChoose Your Lisboa Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll five finishes are the same Lisboa pizza oven: same firebrick dome, same door and chimney hardware, same floor, same five day cure, same three year warranty.

It is the finish to buy if you want to paint or tile the dome to match your outdoor kitchen, because the white shell takes high heat paint or a high heat tile adhesive once the oven is cured and has run for a few weeks. It is also the lowest price into a Lisboa pizza oven.

Same dimensions and weight as the Premium, about 1,300 pounds, same price. It suits gray and cool toned patios where terracotta would fight the palette, and this Lisboa pizza oven still leaves the dome paintable. The photo above shows one on the day it landed, with the four steel lifting loops still on the corners; those get cut off flush once the oven is set, which is exactly how every traditional Lisboa arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"lis-h3\"\u003eLisboa Rustic Arch: tumbled brick around the door, white dome behind\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"lis-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lisboa-rustic-arch-brick-pizza-oven-front.webp?v=1789584574\" alt=\"Lisboa Rustic Arch pizza oven with red brick arch, white dome, and cast aluminum door on a concrete counter in an outdoor kitchen\" width=\"800\" height=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rustic Arch uses the rougher, redder brick of the full Rustic on the arch only, with the white dome behind it.

Dimensions and weight match the Premium Lisboa pizza oven at about 1,300 pounds.

The footprint stays 39 inches, but the stone adds about 300 pounds; plan on 1,600 pounds and a crate near 1,850 pounds with the accessories packed. This is the finish for a buyer who wants the oven to look complete on delivery day and who has a base built for the extra weight.

Interior, door, and chimney are unchanged. It is the statement oven of the whole Authentic Pizza Ovens range, the one that reads as a masonry build from across the yard, and the heaviest thing on this page.

Stack the wood in a crosshatch or teepee in the center with kindling in the middle, no paper, and light it with a torch for a minute. Open the flue, let the fire build for fifteen minutes, add a log at the halfway point, and set the door on with the vent open. The coals, not the flames, carry the heat, so let the logs burn down to a bed before you push it to one side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"lis-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lisboa-pizza-oven-cooking-pizza-on-peel.webp?v=1789584896\" alt=\"Pizza on a metal peel inside a Lisboa brick pizza oven with the fire pushed to the left and coals spread across the floor\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a Lisboa pizza oven, pizza goes on the floor at 650 to 750°F, 350 to 450°C on the included dial, and cooks in about 90 seconds; hotter than that and the top burns before the crust sets. One thing the dial will not tell you: it reads air at the dome, and on the first pie of the night the floor lags the needle. Push the coals aside, give the floor ten minutes, then launch. If a later pie cooks slow, rake the coals back to center for a few minutes. Two twelve inch pies fit side by side; rotate each once with a turning peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lisboa pizza oven is at its best after the pizza is done. Close both halves of the Dutch door with a bed of coals inside and the dome sits above 660°F for hours, which is where roasts, casseroles in the included terracotta dish, cast iron vegetables, and a Dutch oven of beans belong. The next morning the oven is still in bread territory, and a loaf on that residual heat is the thing that turns owners into evangelists. With the optional spit, a chicken or lamb turns in front of a side fire through the taller opening, which no other dome in this range can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"lis-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lisboa-pizza-oven-roasts-bread-vegetables.webp?v=1789584978\" alt=\"Roasted potatoes, lasagna, green beans, steaks in cast iron, and a glazed ham cooked in a Lisboa wood fired brick oven\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWood matters more in a wood fired brick pizza oven than in a metal one because the flavor has hours to work.

It sits on a U shaped block base five courses high, open in front for wood, to the 43 by 43 inch footprint in the installation guide, with a top slab rated for the weight. It is set with an engine hoist on the four steel corner loops, which are cut off afterward, and it does not move again.

Let the oven sit about a week after delivery, then build one small fire a day for five consecutive days, each held four to five hours at rising temperatures: 140°F, 215°F, 300°F, 400°F, 480°F. The included thermometer reads in Celsius, so those are 60, 100, 150, 200, and 250°C on the dial. Close the door each night to keep moisture out. Curing drives the water out of the mortar slowly; skipping it drives the water out as steam and cracks the dome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Lisboa pizza oven will crack anyway, and this is the honest part. Every handmade refractory oven develops hairline cracks around the dome and where the facade meets it, and the base can crumble slightly at the edges. Authentic Pizza Ovens says so in writing: normal, cosmetic, not a warranty defect. The oven ships with an Ultra Fire patch kit; brush it on while the oven is hot if the look bothers you, or ignore the cracks entirely, because they do not affect cooking. What is not normal is a crack from skipping the cure, from accelerants, or from running above 500°C, and those are on the owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare of a Lisboa pizza oven is close to nothing. Do not clean the chamber; it self cleans at temperature. Sweep the ash to one side and shovel it out before the next fire, into a metal container. Keep the door closed between uses. And keep the oven covered whenever it is not in use, with the Authentic Pizza Ovens cover made for its dome, because wet refractory turns to steam on the next fire and because the warranty requires it.

This is the maker's own cover, cut for the Portuguese dome, in the two fits that match the Lisboa, Pizzaioli, Ventura, Buena Ventura, Lume Alto, and Lume Largo, including the stone and brick clad finishes that need the larger XL. Pick your fit above by oven and finish, add it to the same order as the oven, and it ships free on the same liftgate delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy the maker is so firm about it comes down to what a refractory dome is made of. Fire brick, refractory mortar, and calcium aluminate cement are all porous, and the Brick Industry Association's guidance on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gobrick.com\/media\/file\/7-water-penetration-resistance-design.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003ewater penetration in brick masonry\u003c\/a\u003e makes the same point about every masonry wall: the material will take on water, so the job is to keep water off it in the first place. On a house that means flashing and drainage. On a pizza oven sitting in the open with a chimney hole in the top, it means a fitted outdoor pizza oven cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"cov-h2\"\u003eWhy a Brick Oven Needs a Cover, and What Happens Without One\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cured dome is dry inside and wants to stay that way. Leave it uncovered through a weekend of rain and the shell drinks. On the next fire that water turns to steam inside the wall, and you will hear it: a cured oven left in the rain hisses and fogs the door glass for the first twenty minutes while the moisture drives back out. Do that a few dozen times and the hairline cracks every handmade oven develops start to open instead of staying cosmetic, because steam pushes from inside the wall outward. In a freezing climate the same water expands as ice and does the job faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chimney is the other way in. The spout on a traditional Authentic Pizza Ovens dome is an open five and a half inch hole with a damper, and without a brick pizza oven cover it funnels rain onto the cooking floor. A wet floor means a slow first pizza and a floor that spits under the fire. The wood fired pizza oven cover from Authentic Pizza Ovens closes both routes at once: it wraps the dome and it seals over the chimney spout once the cap or extension is lifted off. Ash, leaves, pollen, and the wasps that like a warm dome stay out as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen there is the warranty. Authentic Pizza Ovens excludes weather damage on any oven that was not kept under its own cover when not in use, and treats the cover as a condition of coverage on the same footing as the five day cure. A generic cover from a hardware store does not satisfy that condition, and in practice it does not fit either: a dome with a chimney stub on a 39 inch square footprint is not a barbecue shape. On a purchase the size of a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lisboa-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eLisboa pizza oven\u003c\/a\u003e, the brick pizza oven cover is the cheapest insurance on the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"cov-h2\"\u003eWhich Brick Pizza Oven Cover Fits Your Oven\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthentic Pizza Ovens builds its traditional ovens in two dome heights and two kinds of finish, and that is all a brick pizza oven cover has to know. White render domes, whether the arch around the door is terracotta, natural stone, stacked stone, or tumbled brick, take the Standard cover, sized for the 39 inch footprint of the Lisboa and the Pizzaioli. Domes with stone, tile, or brick over the whole shell are bulkier and take the XL. The Rustic finishes also grow to a 43 inch exterior, the other reason they need the larger cover.

First, the arch material does not change the fit: a Rustic Arch Lisboa and a Premium Lisboa wear the same Lisboa pizza oven cover because the brick is only around the door and the dome behind it is the same white shell. Second, the Pizzaioli oven cover question comes up because the Pizzaioli sits lower than the Lisboa; the Standard cover is cut to the taller dome, drapes the extra inches on the lower one, and the drawstring takes up the slack. If your oven is not listed, send the model and finish through chat and you will get the fit first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"cov-h2\"\u003eWhat the Cover Is Made Of\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brick pizza oven cover is heavy duty polyester with a PVC backing, black, with the Authentic Pizza Ovens patch on the front so it reads as the maker's part rather than a tarp. Polyester holds its shape and its color in sun better than nylon; the PVC layer on the inside is the waterproofing, and it is why the maker says wipe, do not wash, because a machine will crack the backing. It weighs about two pounds, which matters more than it sounds: a cover you can lift off one handed with the other hand on the door is a cover that goes back on after every cook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"cov-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-oven-cover-drawstring-toggle-detail.webp?v=1789602776\" alt=\"Close up of the drawstring and cord lock toggle on the hem of an Authentic Pizza Ovens oven cover\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cov-cap\"\u003eThe hem drawstring and cord lock. Cinched under the base, the cover stays on in wind and sheds water away from the dome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hem carries a drawstring with a cord lock toggle, and that is the detail worth paying for. A cover that hangs loose over a dome lets wind pump wet air underneath it and then lifts off in the first storm; cinched under the base slab, this brick pizza oven cover stays put and sheds water down and away from the shell. It comes folded into a zippered storage bag with a hang loop, so it has somewhere to live between cooks that is not the ground. Nothing on it rusts, because nothing on it is metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"cov-h2\"\u003ePutting the Brick Pizza Oven Cover On and Taking It Off\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet the oven cool first. A traditional dome holds heat for hours after the fire is out, and the outside of the shell, while never scorching, is warm enough the evening of a cook to trap moisture under a cover and stress the PVC. Cover it the next morning, or once the outside is cool to the touch. Lift the rain cap or extension pipe off the chimney spout, drop the brick pizza oven cover over the dome from the back, pull the front down over the door, and cinch the drawstring under the base. Thirty seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking it off is the reverse, and the one habit to build is shaking it out away from the door before you fold it, so the leaves and grit that collect in the folds do not end up on the cooking floor. If the cover is wet, hang it by the loop or over a rail until it is dry before it goes in the bag; a wet cover sealed in a bag for a week is how an outdoor pizza oven cover starts to smell. In snow country, brush the load off the dome before it turns to ice; the cover is waterproof, not a roof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"cov-h2\"\u003eCare, Fading, and How Long a Brick Pizza Oven Cover Lasts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare of a brick pizza oven cover is a damp cloth. Wipe the outside down when it gets dusty, hang it to dry, and never put it through a washer or dryer, which strips the PVC backing that does the waterproofing. Bird droppings and tree sap come off with mild soap and water; solvents do not belong on it. Keep it in its bag when the oven is in daily use through summer, and keep it on the oven for the off season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will fade. Authentic Pizza Ovens says so plainly: the fabric and dye are fade resistant, not fade proof, and a black cover in full sun goes charcoal gray over a few seasons. That is cosmetic. The waterproofing and the fit do not change with the color, and the maker's two year cover warranty excludes fading for that reason. What the two years do cover is the cover itself: seams, drawstring, backing. With the wipe and hang routine, a brick pizza oven cover gets well past the warranty period before a replacement is worth thinking about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"cov-h2\"\u003eWho Needs This Cover, and Who Needs a Different One\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery traditional Authentic Pizza Ovens dome on a base needs one of these two brick pizza oven cover fits, and the answer is in the table above. Buy it with the oven, because the oven is not covered by warranty without it and because ordering it separately later means a parcel shipment instead of a free ride on the freight. If you already own a traditional oven and are replacing a worn cover, the same rule applies: white dome takes the Standard, stone or brick over the dome takes the XL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not the cover for the portable Maximus, Maximus Arena, or Prime. Those ovens sit on a steel stand and have their own covers cut to size. It is also not a substitute for a roof if the oven lives in a wet climate; an outdoor pizza oven cover handles rain and debris, but a dome that will sit through a Pacific Northwest winter is happier under a pergola as well. And it is not the answer for a Custom Builders core that a mason has enclosed in a masonry housing; the housing is the cover there, and the chimney gets a cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"cov-h2\"\u003eBuying the Cover From Crustify\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brick pizza oven cover ships direct from the brand's Texas warehouse. Add it to an oven order and it packs with the oven, arriving on the same liftgate delivery with no added shipping, which is how the maker intends it to be bought. Orders over $750 ship free; alone, the cover ships as a small parcel.

Fading is excluded: the fabric and dye are fade resistant, but the maker does not guarantee against loss of color after prolonged sun, and a faded cover performs the same as a new one. Crustify Pizza Ovens is an authorized dealer, so this purchase carries the full cover warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brick pizza oven cover is also a condition of the three year warranty on every Authentic Pizza Ovens traditional oven. That warranty excludes weather damage to an oven that was not kept under the maker's cover when not in use, alongside the other conditions: cured on the five day schedule, installed to the guide, never fired above 500°C, no accelerants, not used on a trailer. Keep the cover on between cooks and that exclusion never comes up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClaims on the cover or the oven go to Authentic Pizza Ovens by email with the model, invoice number, purchase date, a description, and photographs; Crustify will help you put the claim together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch6\u003eFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - FAQ'S\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ch2 id=\"faqs\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #c62828;\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2c3e50; margin-top: 0; text-align: center;\"\u003eYour Questions Answered Before You Buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe questions buyers ask most about the brick pizza oven cover before they order.

The taller dome ovens, Lisboa, Ventura, and Lume Alto, are built with a metal cap insert at the back of the chamber and a port through the Dutch door, and this spit is the piece that uses them: a steel rod with pronged spit forks and a wooden handle, made in Portugal. Slide a chicken, a leg of lamb, or a porchetta onto it, close the door, and turn it by hand beside a wood fire. Add it to an oven order and it ships free on the same delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoasting on a spit in a brick oven is not the same job as roasting in a kitchen oven, and the numbers that matter are the meat's, not the dome's. The dome will sit above 500°F for hours; what decides when dinner is ready is the internal temperature, and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.fsis.usda.gov\/food-safety\/safe-food-handling-and-preparation\/food-safety-basics\/safe-temperature-chart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eUSDA safe minimum temperature chart\u003c\/a\u003e is the reference: 165°F for poultry, 145°F with a rest for whole cuts of beef, pork, and lamb.

Everything else on the page is about the fire, the turn, and the drip pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"spt-h2\"\u003eHow the Pizza Oven Rotisserie Spit Works in a Lisboa\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook inside a Lisboa pizza oven and you will find a small metal cap set into the rear wall of the dome, level with the door opening. That cap is the rotisserie bearing. The pointed end of the pizza oven rotisserie spit seats in it, the rod runs forward through the chamber and out through the round port in the cast aluminum Dutch door, and the wooden handle sits outside the oven where your hand stays cool. The door is closed while the meat turns. Most buyers miss that detail: the oven stays sealed, the dome keeps its heat, and you turn the roast from outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"spt-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-rotisserie-spit-rear-cap-inside-dome.webp?v=1789606068\" alt=\"End of the Authentic Pizza Ovens rotisserie spit seated in the metal cap insert at the back of the brick oven dome\" width=\"800\" height=\"908\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"spt-cap\"\u003eThe spit end seated in the rear cap inside the dome.

There is no motor. The Authentic Pizza Ovens rotisserie is turned by hand, a quarter turn at a time, every ten minutes or so. On a chicken that is four or five turns of the handle over the whole cook, and it is the reason the spit is priced as a tool rather than an appliance. Nothing to plug in, nothing to fail, nothing to keep out of the rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"spt-h2\"\u003eWhich Ovens Take the Pizza Oven Rotisserie Spit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rotisserie spit for pizza oven use from Authentic Pizza Ovens fits the taller dome ovens only, because those are the ones built with the rear cap and the door port. The Pizzaioli and Buena Ventura have the low dome with the wide mouth and a pull down door with no port, and the Lume Largo uses the same pull down door. Their geometry is the better pure pizza shape, and it is why a buyer who wants a rotisserie chooses the Lisboa dome in the first place. The finish makes no difference: a Rustic Lisboa and a Premium Lisboa take the same spit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable class=\"spt-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width:40%;\"\u003eOven\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width:22%;\"\u003eTakes the pizza oven rotisserie spit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width:38%;\"\u003eWhy\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLisboa, every finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTaller dome, Dutch door with spit port, rear cap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVentura Sierra and Preto\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLisboa dome under a stacked stone facade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLume Alto Premium and Tudo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLisboa height dome with the Dutch door\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePizzaioli, every finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow dome, pull down door, no spit port\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuena Ventura Sierra and Preto\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePizzaioli dome under a stacked stone facade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLume Largo Premium and Tudo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWider dome with a pull down door\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximus, Maximus Arena, Prime\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePortable ovens use their own spits\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spt-cards\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spt-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTakes the pizza oven rotisserie spit\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOvens:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lisboa in every finish; Ventura Sierra and Preto; Lume Alto Premium and Tudo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taller dome with the Dutch door spit port and the rear cap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spt-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes not take the pizza oven rotisserie spit\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOvens:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pizzaioli in every finish; Buena Ventura Sierra and Preto; Lume Largo Premium and Tudo; Maximus, Maximus Arena, Prime\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pull down door with no spit port, or a portable oven with its own spit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"spt-h2\"\u003eCooking on the Pizza Oven Rotisserie Spit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild the fire as you would for pizza, then let it burn down and push the coals and a couple of live logs to one side of the floor, leaving the center clear under where the roast will turn. Authentic Pizza Ovens says the door thermometer should read at least 300°C, about 570°F, before the spit goes in; a Lisboa gets there in under an hour. Truss the bird or tie the roast so nothing flops into the fire, run the rod through the center, lock the forks against it from both ends, and seat the point in the rear cap. Close the door with the handle outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive it a quarter turn every ten minutes. The side facing the fire browns first, and the moment to turn is when that side has color and the far side is still pale; turn on a schedule and the roast comes out even all the way round. Put a cast iron pan or the included terracotta dish under the roast, not under the flame: drippings in the pan are a sauce, drippings on the coals are smoke; a little is flavor, a lot is a flare. A four pound chicken runs about forty minutes in a wood fired oven rotisserie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake the roast off when the probe reads done, not when the clock does: 165°F in the thigh for poultry, 145°F in the center for lamb, pork, or beef, and then a rest of ten to fifteen minutes on the spit outside the oven before the forks come off. Everything on the pizza oven rotisserie spit is metal that has been sitting in a 600°F chamber, so the rod, the forks, and the drip pan come out with welding gloves or heavy oven mitts, never a towel. Set the spit on something that will not scorch, and carve once the meat has rested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"spt-h2\"\u003eWhat to Cook on It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhole chicken is the starter and the thing owners cook most: a four pounder every Sunday is where the spit earns its keep. From there the taller Lisboa door takes a turkey up to about the width of the opening for Thanksgiving, a bone in leg of lamb, a pork loin wrapped as porchetta, a rack of ribs curled onto the rod, and, sliding the forks close together, lamb or beef kabobs for a crowd. Duck and game birds render beautifully over coals because the fat drips away as they turn. Anything round, trussed, and under fifteen inches wide is fair game on a Lisboa rotisserie spit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oven does the rest of the meal at the same time. Potatoes and root vegetables in the drip pan cook in the fat that falls on them, which is the photo every Authentic Pizza Ovens owner ends up taking. Bread can bake on the far side of the floor while the roast turns. After the meat comes off, the dome is still above roasting heat for hours, so a cobbler or a pan of beans goes in on the way down. One fire, three courses, and the pizza oven rotisserie spit is the piece that made it a Sunday dinner instead of a pizza night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"spt-h2\"\u003ePizza Oven Rotisserie Spit Care and Storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet the pizza oven rotisserie spit cool, then wash the rod and forks by hand in hot soapy water and dry them completely before they go away; a steel rod put away wet will show rust at the fork teeth by the next weekend. A wipe of cooking oil on the rod after drying keeps it clean through the off season. The wooden handle stays out of the sink; wipe it with a damp cloth. Store the spit indoors or in the base with the tools, not in the oven, and not under the cover on the dome where it will sweat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"spt-h2\"\u003eWho Should Buy the Spit, and Who Should Not\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy the pizza oven rotisserie spit if you are ordering a Lisboa, Ventura, or Lume Alto and you plan to cook anything other than pizza in it; the spit is the feature that separates that dome from the Pizzaioli, and buying the oven without it leaves the best part on the table. Buy it with the oven so it ships free on the same delivery. Buy it later if you already own one of those ovens and never fitted the spit; the cap and the port have been waiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkip the pizza oven rotisserie spit if your oven is a Pizzaioli, Buena Ventura, or Lume Largo, because it will not fit and there is no retrofit; those ovens roast in pans on the floor instead, which they do very well.

That is the first thing this pizza oven starter kit teaches: flour scorches on an 800°F floor, and by the third pie the whole oven smells of it, while semolina rolls under the dough like ball bearings and burns off clean. Top the pizza on the wood, give the peel a shake to prove the pie moves, and if it sticks, lift the edge and feed more semolina under it before you go anywhere near the fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe launch is the aluminum peel's job. Slide it under the topped pizza from the wood, or build straight on the aluminum if you work fast, then reach the floor with the long handle and pull the peel out from under the pie in one motion. Keep that peel cold between launches; a metal peel left leaning in the mouth of the oven comes back hot enough to weld the next dough to it, which is the most common reason a second pizza sticks and the first did not. Rest it on the counter, not on the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the pie is down, the turner takes over. The side facing the fire cooks first, so every twenty to thirty seconds slide the turner under the pizza, lift, and rotate a quarter turn; the 32 inch handle keeps your hand outside the door while you do it. When a bubble rises on the crust, the hooked end pops it before it chars. About ninety seconds in, the aluminum peel goes back in to retrieve, and the pizza lands on the wooden peel to cut and serve. That is the whole pizza peel set at work, and why the maker sends two peels and a turner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"stk-h2\"\u003eThe Brush and the Shovel: Managing the Fire\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wood fired brick oven is cooked with a bed of coals pushed to one side and a clear floor on the other, and the brush and shovel are how the floor gets clear. Before the first launch, sweep the floor with the 27 inch brush to push ash and loose embers back toward the fire; anything left on the floor ends up on the bottom of the pizza. Between pies, a quick pass keeps semolina from building up. The wire head shrugs off the heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shovel does two things. During the cook it moves live coals: rake them to the side to open the floor, or back to center for a few minutes when a later pizza cooks slow and the floor needs recharging. The morning after, when the ash is cold, it shovels the bed out into a metal container so the next fire starts on a clean floor. Ash holds heat overnight in a dome this massive, so clear it cold and into metal, never into a plastic bin the same evening. Nothing else in the pizza oven starter kit gets used as often as these two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"stk-h2\"\u003eWhich Ovens the Pizza Oven Starter Kit Fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pizza oven starter kit fits every Authentic Pizza Ovens model: the Lisboa, Pizzaioli, Ventura, Buena Ventura, Lume Alto, and Lume Largo on a base, the Custom Builders cores in a masonry housing, and the portable Maximus, Maximus Arena, and Prime. The 19 inch handle on the aluminum peel and the 32 inch turner were sized for the 31 inch deep floor of the traditional domes, so they reach the back of the biggest oven the maker builds and are simply generous on the portables.

Scrape it, wipe it with a damp cloth, let it dry standing on edge, and rub a little food safe mineral oil into the wood every few months so it does not check and split; a soaked wooden peel warps and a warped peel does not slide. The aluminum peel and the turner wash normally in hot soapy water and dry with a towel; aluminum does not rust, but dried flour paste on the blade is the enemy of the next launch, so wash it the same night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brush lives near the oven. Tap the ash out of the wire after each use and let it cool before it goes anywhere near the storage bag or a wooden shelf. The steel shovel dries after use and gets a wipe of oil for the off season, because ash is mildly caustic and a shovel put away with damp ash in the pan pits by spring. Keep the whole pizza oven starter kit indoors or in the dry side of the base, not under the oven cover where it will sweat with the dome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"stk-h2\"\u003eWho Should Buy the Pizza Oven Starter Kit, and Who Should Not\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy the Authentic Pizza Ovens starter pack if this is your first wood fired oven, because you will need all five of these on the first cured fire and buying them one at a time costs more and arrives later. Buy it with the oven so it rides free on the same delivery. Buy it if you are replacing tools sized for a small countertop oven; the extra length is the point in a 39 inch dome. And buy it if you cook for a crowd, because two peels plus a turner is what lets one person keep two pizzas moving at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkip the pizza oven starter kit if you already own a long aluminum peel and a turner; add the brush and shovel individually instead. Skip it if your oven is a 12 or 16 inch countertop model, where a 32 inch turner is more than you need. And note what the kit does not include: no laser thermometer for reading the floor directly, no gloves, and no pizza cutter. The infrared thermometer is the one addition worth making, because the door dial reads dome air and the floor is what cooks the crust; it is in the accessories collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"stk-h2\"\u003eBuying the Pizza Oven Starter Kit From Crustify\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pizza oven starter kit ships direct from the brand's Texas warehouse.

Use a light, even dusting on the wooden peel and more only where it sticks.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Authentic Pizza Ovens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49227824496895,"sku":"STARTER","price":145.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-starter-kit-five-piece-pizza-oven-tool-set.webp?v=1789606994"},{"product_id":"authentic-pizza-ovens-pizzaioli-brick-pizza-oven","title":"Authentic Pizza Ovens Pizzaioli Brick Pizza Oven","description":"\u003cstyle\u003e\n  .piz-h2 { color:#8a1f12; font-weight:700; margin-top:34px; }\n  .piz-h3 { color:#333; font-weight:700; margin-top:22px; font-size:19px; }\n  .piz-img { max-width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:8px; display:block; margin:18px auto; }\n  .piz-cap { font-size:14px; color:#555; text-align:center; margin:-8px 0 18px; }\n  .piz-glance { background:#fbf6f4; border-left:4px solid #8a1f12; padding:16px 20px; margin:20px 0; border-radius:0 8px 8px 0; }\n  .piz-glance p { margin:0 0 8px; }\n  .piz-glance .piz-glance-title { font-weight:700; font-size:18px; margin-bottom:10px; }\n  .piz-table { width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; table-layout:fixed; margin:20px 0; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; }\n  .piz-table th { background:#8a1f12; color:#fff; padding:12px 10px; text-align:left; font-size:15px; word-break:normal; overflow-wrap:break-word; }\n  .piz-table th a { color:#fff; font-weight:700; text-decoration:underline; }\n  .piz-table td { border-bottom:1px solid #ddd; padding:12px 10px; vertical-align:top; font-size:15px; word-break:normal; overflow-wrap:break-word; }\n  .piz-table tr:nth-child(even) td { background:#faf5f4; }\n  .piz-cards { display:none; }\n  @media (max-width:600px) {\n    .piz-table { display:none; }\n    .piz-cards { display:block; }\n    .piz-card { border:1px solid #ddd; border-radius:10px; padding:14px 16px; margin:14px 0; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; }\n    .piz-card h4 { margin:0 0 8px; color:#8a1f12; font-size:17px; }\n    .piz-card p { margin:4px 0; font-size:15px; }\n  }\n  .cart-specs { width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; margin:16px 0; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; }\n  .cart-specs th { background:#8a1f12; color:#fff; padding:10px 12px; text-align:left; width:36%; font-size:15px; vertical-align:top; }\n  .cart-specs td { border-bottom:1px solid #ddd; padding:10px 12px; font-size:15px; vertical-align:top; }\n  .piz-video { position:relative; padding-bottom:56.25%; height:0; overflow:hidden; margin:16px 0 24px; border-radius:8px; }\n  .piz-video iframe { position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%; border:0; }\n  details[style*=\"border-bottom\"] \u003e summary { list-style:none; cursor:pointer; }\n  details[style*=\"border-bottom\"] \u003e summary::-webkit-details-marker { display:none; }\n  details[style*=\"border-bottom\"] \u003e summary::after { content:none; }\n  details[style*=\"border-bottom\"] \u003e summary:hover { background:#eef1f5 !important; }\n  details[style*=\"border-bottom\"][open] .pin-arrow { transform:rotate(180deg); }\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\n\u003ch6\u003eDescription\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pizzaioli pizza oven is the original Authentic Pizza Ovens dome and still the one the company sells most: a 39 inch square brick oven with a wide, low mouth that opens down like a pizzeria oven and a 15 inch ceiling that throws the fire's heat straight back at the floor. That geometry is the whole argument. It cooks a Neapolitan pizza in about 90 seconds, two 12 inch pies side by side, and holds cooking heat for hours after the flame dies. A Portuguese brick pizza oven hand built north of Lisbon, in six finishes from the terracotta Standard to the fully clad Rustic, delivered free by freight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason a low dome matters is measurable. Researchers at the University of Naples put thermal cameras inside working wood fired ovens and published what a true Neapolitan bake needs: a floor between 380°C and 430°C, a dome around 485°C, and a pizza on the floor for 60 to 90 seconds; their \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/iris.unina.it\/handle\/11588\/980163\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003ereview of wood fired oven heat transfer\u003c\/a\u003e is the clearest reading of it. A dome only 15 inches above the floor keeps the flame's radiant heat close to the pie and lets the floor recover between launches; that is what a Pizzaioli pizza oven is built around. A taller dome roasts better; this one bakes pizza better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"piz-glance\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"piz-glance-title\"\u003eAuthentic Pizza Ovens Pizzaioli at a glance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandmade Portuguese brick dome, about 1,250 pounds in the render finishes and near 1,750 in the full brick Rustic; sits on a masonry base you build, set by forklift or engine hoist on its corner eyelets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWood only, seasoned hardwood, 4 to 6 pounds an hour; about an hour to pizza heat, a floor around 400°C, 500°C maximum on the dial\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e33 by 33 inch firebrick floor under a 15 inch ceiling, the low dome built for a 90 second bake; two 12 inch pizzas at once, around 30 an hour\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidest door in the range, 19.7 inches, opening down like a pizzeria oven; no spit port, so the rotisserie belongs to the Lisboa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix finishes on the same oven: Standard with an iron door, Premium with the cast aluminum door and window, Stone Arch, Rustic Arch, Stone Finish, Rustic; the white domes can be painted or tiled after curing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive day cure before the first pizza; hairline cracks are normal and patched with the included Ultra Fire kit; a cover is a warranty condition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree year structural warranty from an authorized dealer; outdoor residential use, never on a trailer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree freight from Texas on every finish, with the $95 residential liftgate fee at checkout; 14 day returns on an unused crated oven\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuestions before you order?

The floor cooks the base by conduction, the dome reflects the fire's radiant heat down onto the toppings, and the hot air rolling under the ceiling browns the cornicione. In a Pizzaioli pizza oven the ceiling is 15 inches above a 33 inch floor, so the flame licking across the top of the chamber blisters the rim before the center dries out. That is the difference between a leopard spotted Neapolitan crust and a cracker: the top has to finish in the same 90 seconds as the bottom, and a low roof is how.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wide mouth is the second half. The Pizzaioli door opening is 19.7 inches across, the widest in the traditional range, and it opens down instead of hinging at the side, so the door rests out of the way as a shelf while you launch and turn. With the door off and the fire raked to one side you see the whole floor, work two pizzas at once with a turner, and get the peel in and out without threading a narrow arch. The first tell that the dome is doing its job is the cornicione: it spots and rises within thirty seconds, before the cheese has melted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade is the rotisserie. The taller Lisboa has a Dutch door with a spit port and a rear cap for a rotisserie, and the Pizzaioli has neither, because the low roof leaves no room for a turning bird above the fire. What it gives up on the spit it gets back on the floor. Roasts, bread, and casseroles all cook in pans and in the included ceramic dish, and the low dome that makes it a better pizza oven also makes it the faster oven to bring to temperature, since there is simply less chamber to heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"piz-h2\"\u003ePizzaioli Pizza Oven or Lisboa: Which Dome Is Yours\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthentic Pizza Ovens builds its traditional ovens in two shapes and the choice comes down to what you cook most.

It takes the XL cover and needs a base and a delivery plan sized for the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"piz-h2\"\u003eMake It Yours: Tiling or Painting the White Dome\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"piz-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-pizzaioli-custom-blue-tile-dome.webp?v=1789666886\" alt=\"Authentic Pizza Ovens Pizzaioli with the white dome custom tiled in cobalt blue mosaic by the owner, terracotta arch and brass hardware\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"piz-cap\"\u003eAn owner's Pizzaioli, tiled in cobalt mosaic after curing. The white render dome is a blank canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white render on the Standard, Premium, Stone Arch, and Rustic Arch is meant to be finished by the owner if you want. Authentic Pizza Ovens says so plainly: paint or tile it to match the house, with high heat paint or high heat tile adhesive. The one rule is patience. Cure the oven, cook in it for a few weeks so the hairline cracks every handmade dome develops have appeared, fill them with the Ultra Fire kit, then finish the surface. Tile laid over an uncured dome cracks with it. The mosaic above went on the least expensive Pizzaioli pizza oven and made it the centerpiece of the yard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"piz-h2\"\u003eBuilding It In Yourself? The Builders Custom Pizzaioli\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the plan is a stone chimney breast, a brick wall with a wood store, or a stucco enclosure that hides the oven completely, the facade on this page is money spent on a front you will bury. Authentic Pizza Ovens makes the same Pizzaioli dome with no arch and no cladding, a plain iron door, and the same brick chamber, insulation, and included dish, thermometer, and Ultra Fire kit, sold as its \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-builders-custom-pizza-oven\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003ebuilders custom pizza oven\u003c\/a\u003e for $400 less than the Premium. You cure it, clad the front in whatever the kitchen is built from, and the oven disappears into the build. The page covers the base and the lift, cladding materials, the flue, and the warranty on an enclosed oven; the low dome and the wide door are the same ones described here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"piz-h2\"\u003eHow a Pizzaioli Pizza Oven Is Built\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthentic Pizza Ovens builds every traditional dome the same way in the same workshop north of Lisbon, and the manufacturing spec sheet that ships with the Pizzaioli pizza oven lists the layers. The chamber is real fire brick, about 40 percent alumina and rated for service above 1,200°C, laid in refractory mortar rated past 1,500°C, with wall thickness between 50 and 60 millimeters. That is a brick oven, not a cast clay shell, and the distinction is why the floor recovers between pizzas: brick stores heat in its mass and gives it back to the next pie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround the brick goes the insulation that lets the outside stay cool while the inside runs at 900°F. A mat of Rockwool mineral wool, 50 to 80 millimeters thick at a density of 80 to 120 kilograms per cubic meter, wraps the dome and is pinned in place with 18 to 20 gauge steel wire mesh; Authentic Pizza Ovens holds an international patent on the method. Over that goes an outer shell of refractory cement, a calcium aluminate mix with chamotte aggregate rated at 25 megapascals, 30 to 50 millimeters thick, and then the finish: white render, terracotta or stone at the arch, or full stone or brick cladding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hardware on every finish but the Standard is cast AlSi10Mg aluminum alloy, tensile strength above 230 megapascals, for the door, chimney cavity, and spout, with a 5 to 6 millimeter borosilicate window. The thermometer is a bimetallic dial with a stainless probe reading 0 to 500°C on the arch. Tolerances are stated: plus or minus 5 millimeters on the dome, 2 on the door frame, and the assembly tolerates 1 to 1.5 percent thermal expansion at 800°C on its expansion joints. Rated life, per the sheet, is a lifetime with weather protection. It sits on a 3.15 inch concrete slab with steel hoisting eyelets at the corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"piz-h2\"\u003eWhat Arrives With a Pizzaioli Pizza Oven, and What It Needs From You\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crate holds the assembled Pizzaioli pizza oven, not a kit. There is nothing to build; the dome, floor, arch, door, and base slab arrive as one piece in a treated wooden crate, shrink wrapped, with the accessories packed separately inside so they cannot rub the finish in transit. In the box with the oven: the cast chimney spout with its damper, 5.5 inches wide and 6 inches tall; the Portuguese ceramic baking dish, 10 by 14.5 by 3 inches; the 0 to 500°C door thermometer; and the Ultra Fire crack repair kit. The stainless \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-chimney-extension\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003echimney extension\u003c\/a\u003e, in 12 or 38 inches, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-chimney-cap\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003echimney cap\u003c\/a\u003e are separate; most installations need at least one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat it needs from you is a place to sit and a way to get there. The oven weighs about 1,250 pounds on its slab (the Rustic nearer 1,750), so the base has to be masonry or reinforced concrete rated for that: two 6 inch block walls with a slab across them, a poured pad on a block plinth, or a built in masonry enclosure. Counter height is the target, with the oven floor about 40 inches off the ground for comfortable launching. Keep combustibles clear of the chimney and leave room to stand square to the door; the wide mouth only helps if you can face it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelivery is curbside on a liftgate truck, and moving 1,250 pounds from the curb onto a base is the part to plan before you order. The corner eyelets take straps for a forklift, a skid steer, a crane, or an engine hoist over the base; four strong people and a pallet jack can do it on level pavers, and a mason building the base usually has the equipment on site. The eyelets are cut off flush once the oven is set. Inspect the crate on arrival and note anything on the delivery ticket before the driver leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"piz-h2\"\u003eThe First Fire in a Pizzaioli Pizza Oven\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"piz-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-pizzaioli-lighting-the-fire.webp?v=1789666504\" alt=\"Lighting kindling on the brick floor of an Authentic Pizza Ovens Pizzaioli with a torch, door down and thermometer on the stone arch\" width=\"800\" height=\"440\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"piz-cap\"\u003eLighting the first small fire in a Stone Arch Pizzaioli. The door drops down out of the way; the thermometer on the arch reads the dome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new brick dome holds water from the workshop, and the five day cure is how it leaves. Authentic Pizza Ovens' schedule is a series of progressively larger fires on five consecutive days, starting with a handful of kindling and never running past the day's target on the thermometer, so the moisture in the brick and cement steams out slowly instead of cracking its way out. The schedule is in the guide that ships with the oven and on the video linked in the warranty row; follow it to the day, because the warranty requires it. On day five you cook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHairline cracks will appear on a Pizzaioli pizza oven, on the dome, around the arch, at the seam where the shell meets the slab. Every handmade oven does this and the maker says so on every page; the cracks are in the outer refractory layer, not the fire brick chamber, and they do not affect the cook. The Ultra Fire kit in the crate is for filling them once the oven has been through a few weeks of use. Owners who understand this ahead of time treat the first crack as a milestone; owners who do not call in a panic on day three. It is a milestone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the cure, a Pizzaioli pizza oven comes to pizza temperature in about an hour with 4 to 6 pounds of seasoned hardwood. Light a small stack in the center, let it catch, feed it to a rolling flame, and when the dome soot burns off white and the door dial passes 400°C, rake the coals to one side and sweep the floor. The floor is ready around 400°C to 430°C, which is where the University of Naples numbers put a 90 second bake. The oven holds cooking heat for three hours or more with the door shut after that, and roasting heat well into the next morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"piz-h2\"\u003eCooking in a Low Dome Pizza Oven\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePizza is what the shape is for, and the routine is quick once the tools are right: build on a wooden peel with semolina, launch off a long aluminum peel to the side of the floor away from the coals, quarter turn with a turner every twenty seconds or so, and pull it at 90 seconds. Two 12 inch pizzas fit side by side on the 33 inch floor, which is how a Pizzaioli pizza oven feeds a party; a practiced owner turns out around 30 an hour. The wide door makes two at a time workable, since the turner reaches both without the pies fighting for the opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"piz-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-pizzaioli-cast-iron-steak.webp?v=1789666583\" alt=\"Ribeye searing in a cast iron skillet beside the coals in an Authentic Pizza Ovens Pizzaioli\" width=\"800\" height=\"735\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"piz-cap\"\u003eA ribeye in cast iron beside the coals. The floor sears the pan and the dome finishes the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same fire does a steakhouse sear. A cast iron skillet on the floor beside the coals hits temperatures no stovetop reaches, and the low dome bounces the flame's heat onto the top of the meat while the pan crusts the bottom, so a thick ribeye needs a minute a side and a rest. Thyme and garlic in the fat, and the pan comes out with the sauce made. Owners of a Pizzaioli pizza oven cook more steak in it than pizza by the second summer, because the setup cost is a single log on the coals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"piz-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-pizzaioli-roasted-potatoes-fire.webp?v=1789666679\" alt=\"Skillet of fingerling potatoes and rosemary roasting next to the flame in a Pizzaioli brick oven\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"piz-cap\"\u003eFingerlings and rosemary in a pan at the edge of the fire. The Pizzaioli's floor does most of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVegetables and sides go in the same way, in a pan or the included ceramic dish, parked at the edge of the flame and turned once. Potatoes crisp on the floor side and steam in their own moisture on top; peppers blister in minutes; a tray of bread rolls bakes in the falling heat after the pizzas are done. This is where the Pizzaioli pizza oven's lack of a spit stops mattering: the ceramic dish takes a whole chicken with vegetables under it, and the low dome browns the skin as well as any rotisserie, it just does not turn it for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"piz-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-pizzaioli-lobster-wood-fired.webp?v=1789666784\" alt=\"Split lobsters on a tray in front of the fire in an Authentic Pizza Ovens Pizzaioli\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"piz-cap\"\u003eSplit lobsters in front of the flame.

Split lobsters, oysters, mussels in a dish, a whole fish on a bed of lemon: anything that wants a few minutes of hard radiant heat from above comes out of a Pizzaioli pizza oven better than off a grill, because the dome cooks the top while the shell protects the bottom. Then the long tail of the heat: bread the next morning at 450°F, a pot of beans or a braise left in overnight with the door shut, and pies and cobblers in the afternoon. One fire, three meals, which is the arithmetic that justifies a brick oven over a portable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"piz-h2\"\u003eWhich Cover and Which Tools for a Pizzaioli Pizza Oven\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo accessories are not optional. The first is the cover, because the three year warranty excludes weather damage on any oven not kept under the maker's own cover when not in use. On a Pizzaioli pizza oven the Standard, Premium, Stone Arch, and Rustic Arch have a white render dome and take the Standard fit of the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-brick-oven-cover\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eAuthentic Pizza Ovens cover\u003c\/a\u003e; the Stone Finish and Rustic have cladding over the whole dome and take the XL.

It is the shape built for a 90 second bake, it works two pies at once through the widest door in the range, and it comes to temperature faster than the taller domes. Buy it for the classic pizzeria look, the down opening door and wide arch, in a backyard kitchen or on a stone base. Buy it if you cook for crowds; throughput is the point of a wide low oven. And buy the Premium over the Standard anywhere the air is damp; the maker says so, and so does anyone who has watched iron rust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lisboa-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eLisboa\u003c\/a\u003e instead if a rotisserie chicken is part of the plan, because this oven cannot take the spit and there is no retrofit.

Underneath the stone it is the same handmade Portuguese brick oven that made the Lisboa APO's best seller: a 39 inch fire brick dome on a concrete base, Rockwool insulation, a refractory cement shell that stays cool to the touch, a cast aluminum Dutch door with a viewing window, and a stainless chimney spout with a damper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the Ventura pizza oven adds is a front that looks like it was laid stone by stone, in a warm red brown tone or a black and gray blend, and APO calls the Preto version of the Ventura Premium pizza oven a best seller in its own right. Every Ventura 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a wood only oven, and it rewards good wood. A Ventura pizza oven burns roughly four to six pounds of split hardwood an hour once it is up to temperature, and the difference between a clean, fast fire and a smoky, sluggish one is almost always moisture. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/extension.unh.edu\/node\/2484\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eUNH Extension\u003c\/a\u003e puts the line at 20 percent moisture content or less, which usually means splits seasoned six to twelve months under cover.

The Ventura and the Lisboa share the same dome: 39 inches wide, 39 deep, and 31 tall on the outside, with a 31 by 31 inch cooking floor and 19 inches of headroom inside. Both carry the 15.5 by 12 inch Dutch door that opens left and right instead of dropping down, and both take the traditional rotisserie spit through that door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight, insulation, chimney, base slab, curing schedule, and cover fit are identical on the Lisboa and the Ventura pizza oven. If you have read our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lisboa-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLisboa page\u003c\/a\u003e, you already know how the Ventura pizza oven cooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat changes is the front. On the Lisboa Premium the arch is terracotta and the dome is white render. On the Ventura pizza oven, APO casts a stacked stone facade around the mouth of the oven, a band of irregular ledge stones that frames the door and the arch above it, and the rest of the dome stays white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is cast stone, not individually laid rock, which is why the pattern is consistent oven to oven and why the Ventura pizza oven sits in price with the Lisboa Premium rather than with the fully clad Stone Finish or Rustic Lisboa. You get the look of a stone pizza oven without the weight or the cost of cladding the whole dome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white dome is a real advantage on this oven, not an afterthought. APO's render takes high heat paint and thin set tile once the oven is cured and has been fired for a few weeks, so a Ventura brick pizza oven can be finished to match a house color, a countertop, or a mosaic. The stone facade gives you a finished front on day one; the dome gives you the option to make the rest of it yours later. Most owners leave it white, and the contrast between white render and dark ledge stone is most of what makes the Preto Ventura pizza oven photograph so well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ven-h2\"\u003eChoose Your Ventura Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo finishes, one price, one Ventura pizza oven. The only decision is the color of the stone. Pick the finish from the drop down above the Add to Cart button and the gallery follows your selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"ven-h3\"\u003eVentura Sierra\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"ven-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-ventura-sierra-covered-patio-night.webp?v=1789708518\" alt=\"Authentic Pizza Ovens Ventura Sierra pizza oven with red stacked stone facade installed on a tiled block base under a covered patio at night\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSierra is the warm one. APO describes it as a reddish Portuguese brick tone, and in person it reads as a mix of rust, tan, and ochre ledge stones with darker mortar lines between them. It suits brick patios, terracotta pavers, cedar pergolas, and any outdoor kitchen that leans warm. Under patio lighting at night the Sierra facade picks up the glow from the door and looks like a fireplace, which is the effect most people are after when they choose a stacked stone pizza oven over a plain render dome. The Sierra Ventura pizza oven ships with the same black cast aluminum door and stainless chimney as the Preto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"ven-h3\"\u003eVentura Preto\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"ven-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-ventura-preto-fire-lit-dutch-door-open.webp?v=1789707578\" alt=\"Ventura Preto pizza oven with the Dutch door half open and a fire burning inside, mounted on a concrete block base with firewood storage below\" width=\"800\" height=\"1600\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreto is Portuguese for black, and the Preto facade is a blend of charcoal, slate gray, and near black stones. It is the finish APO flags as a best seller, and it is the one that shows up most often in customer photos, usually on a gray block base or a granite counter where the dark stone ties into the surroundings. If your outdoor kitchen runs to stainless, concrete, dark tile, or a modern palette, the Preto Ventura pizza oven is the safer choice. The black door disappears into the black stone, so the fire and the white dome carry the whole picture when the door is open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ven-h2\"\u003eThe Dutch Door and the Rotisserie: Why the Ventura Is Not a Buena Ventura\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPO makes two stacked stone ovens and the names are close enough to cause mistakes, so here is the split. The Ventura pizza oven is the tall dome, the Lisboa shape, with the 12 inch tall Dutch door. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-buena-ventura-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBuena Ventura\u003c\/a\u003e is the low dome, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-pizzaioli-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePizzaioli\u003c\/a\u003e shape, at 26 inches tall with a 19.7 inch wide door that drops down. Both come in Sierra and Preto. The Ventura is the rotisserie pizza oven of the pair. The Buena Ventura is the wide mouth, pure pizza oven of the pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"ven-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-ventura-rotisserie-chicken-spit.webp?v=1789707688\" alt=\"Whole chicken turning on the rotisserie spit inside a Ventura pizza oven above a dish of potatoes, onions, and green beans\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rotisserie works because of the door height and the door design. The traditional spit seats in a metal cap set into the back wall of the dome, and the rod passes out through a port in the Dutch door with a wooden handle on the outside. The door stays closed while the roast turns, so the Ventura pizza oven holds its heat and the meat cooks in radiant heat rather than in a draft. You turn the handle a quarter turn every ten minutes or so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA four pound chicken over a bed of potatoes and onions in the included ceramic dish takes about forty minutes with the Ventura pizza oven at 300°C or above, and the drippings do the basting.

Opening one half gives you a draft control the drop down doors do not have: crack the left half an inch during a long bread bake and the fire draws steadily without dumping the stored heat, then shut it to hold temperature between loaves. It also means you can look in on a roast through the window in the closed half without opening the oven at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ven-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDome\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOutside\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDoor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRotisserie\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFacade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVentura (this page)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTall, Lisboa shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 W x 31 H x 39 D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.5 x 12 Dutch door, opens left and right, spit port\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast stacked stone, Sierra or Preto, white dome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lisboa-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLisboa\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 W x 31 H x 39 D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.5 x 12 Dutch door, spit port\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTerracotta arch, stone arch, brick arch, or full stone or brick cladding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-buena-ventura-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBuena Ventura\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow, Pizzaioli shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 W x 26 H x 39 D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.7 x 10.6, drops down, no port\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast stacked stone, Sierra or Preto, white dome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ven-cards\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ven-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVentura (this page)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTall Lisboa shape, 39 W x 31 H x 39 D. 15.5 x 12 Dutch door that opens left and right with a spit port.

The inside is fire brick rated above 1,200°C, set in refractory mortar rated above 1,500°C, laid up as a 50 to 60 millimeter wall on a 3.15 inch reinforced concrete slab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the brick goes 50 to 80 millimeters of Rockwool at 80 to 120 kilograms per cubic meter, held in place with 18 to 20 gauge steel mesh. Over the Rockwool goes 30 to 50 millimeters of calcium aluminate refractory cement with chamotte aggregate, rated at 25 megapascals. The stone facade and the white render of the Ventura pizza oven sit on top of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat mass is why a Portuguese brick pizza oven behaves nothing like a steel countertop oven. Steel ovens heat in fifteen minutes and lose their floor heat after two or three pizzas. The Ventura pizza oven takes closer to an hour to come up, but APO's own spec calls for it to hold above 350°C for four hours after peak with the door shut, and owners routinely bake bread in the morning on the heat from the night before. Fire brick above 1,200°C and a cast aluminum door alloy rated above 230 megapascals mean the hot parts are built for the temperatures involved, not just tolerant of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"ven-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-ventura-pepperoni-pizza-on-brick-floor.webp?v=1789707790\" alt=\"Pepperoni and mushroom pizza with a leopard spotted crust on the brick floor of a Ventura pizza oven with embers glowing behind it\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor pizza, the target is a floor between 370 and 450°C, roughly 700 to 850°F, with a live flame licking the dome. At that point a 12 inch Neapolitan style pizza is done in 60 to 90 seconds, the floor of the Ventura pizza oven will take two at a time, and a steady hand can turn out close to thirty an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to know before your first cook in a Ventura pizza oven: the dial thermometer in the facade reads the air near the door, and it lags the floor by a wide margin during the heat up. Push the coals to one side and wait until the soot on the dome burns off to a clean white before you launch, whatever the dial says. That white line is the reliable cue on every brick oven we sell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter pizza, the stored heat is the point. Push the coals to the back, shut the Dutch door, and the Ventura pizza oven settles into a long, even fall from roasting heat to baking heat to slow cooking heat over the rest of the day. Steaks seared on a cast iron plate, a tray of potatoes, whole fish, bread at 250°C, then a pot of beans overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ceramic baking dish that comes with the Ventura pizza oven is sized for exactly this kind of cooking, and it is the reason APO includes it. A bag of seasoned hardwood a week is plenty for a family that cooks in the oven two or three times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ven-h2\"\u003ePlacement, Base, and Chimney\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ventura pizza oven arrives fully built on its own 3.15 inch concrete slab, so what you build is a base to set it on, not the oven. The footprint is 39 by 39 inches and the oven weighs about 1,300 pounds, so the base has to be masonry or a poured slab, never a wood deck without engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPO's standard recommendation for the Ventura pizza oven is a U shaped block base five courses high, open at the front for wood storage, with a solid top the full size of the oven's slab. A cast countertop or a granite slab on block piers, as in the photo below, works just as well and gives you a landing zone for the peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"ven-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-ventura-preto-chimney-extension-rain-cap.webp?v=1789707922\" alt=\"Ventura pizza oven on a granite countertop base with the 38 inch stainless chimney extension and rain cap fitted, outdoor kitchen build in progress\" width=\"717\" height=\"960\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Ventura pizza oven has four steel lifting loops cast into the corners of its slab, and the way it gets onto the base is an engine hoist, a small telehandler, or a rented mini crane, with straps through the four loops. Four strong friends will not do it. Plan the lift before delivery day, because the freight carrier drops the crate at the curb and does not carry it into the yard. Once the oven is set the loops can be cut off flush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chimney on the Ventura pizza oven is a 5.5 inch spout, 6 inches tall, with a built in damper, and on its own it clears smoke over your head in an open patio. Under a roof, a pergola, or against a wall you will want the stainless \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-chimney-extension\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003echimney extension\u003c\/a\u003e, in 12 or 38 inches, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-chimney-cap\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003echimney cap\u003c\/a\u003e with its spark screen, sold separately, which lift the outlet above the structure and keep rain out of the flue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClearances to combustibles from the installation guide are 2 inches at the sides of the dome, 16 inches above it, 30 inches around the flue, and 47 inches of non combustible floor in front of the door. The stone facade of a Ventura pizza oven gets warm, not hot, but the chimney and the mouth do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"ven-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-ventura-preto-tiled-outdoor-kitchen.webp?v=1789708135\" alt=\"Ventura Preto brick pizza oven built into a tiled outdoor kitchen with a copper chimney flue and wood storage beneath the counter\" width=\"1288\" height=\"1160\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the oven is a finished dome rather than a bare core, a built in kitchen usually means building the counter up to and around the base and leaving the dome and facade exposed, as in the tiled kitchen above.

APO's curing schedule is five small fires on five consecutive days: 140°F, 215°F, 300°F, 400°F, and 480°F on the dial, each held for a few hours, each one a little bigger than the last. Then a full fire. Skip it and the warranty on your Ventura pizza oven is void, and so is any chance of a clean dome. This is the one instruction on the page we would ask you to read twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven cured properly, every Ventura brick pizza oven will develop hairline cracks in the outer render over its first season, and APO says so plainly: all traditional ovens crack, it is normal, and it is not a defect. The cracks are in the cosmetic shell, not the fire brick chamber, and they do not affect cooking or safety. The oven ships with an Ultra Fire patch kit for exactly this, and touching up a crack takes ten minutes with a putty knife. Expansion at 800°C runs 1 to 1.5 percent, and that movement has to go somewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"ven-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-ventura-preto-under-roof-door-open.webp?v=1789708399\" alt=\"Ventura pizza oven with the door open under a timber and metal roof, an example of the all weather protection the warranty requires\" width=\"800\" height=\"880\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other warranty condition is weather protection.

It is the right call for a covered patio or an outdoor kitchen where the oven is on show, for cooks who will roast and bake as much as they make pizza, and for anyone who wants a black or red stone front that reads as built in without any masonry work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lisboa-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLisboa\u003c\/a\u003e instead of the Ventura pizza oven if you want a terracotta arch, a natural stone arch, or the fully clad Stone Finish and Rustic versions, or if you plan to tile the entire dome and the facade would fight the design; the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-alto-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLume Alto\u003c\/a\u003e is the same tall dome behind a squared gray cast stone front for a modern kitchen.

Both Ventura finishes take the Standard fit, because the facade is a band around the mouth and the dome behind it is the plain white render, not full cladding. The XL cover on the same page is for the fully clad Lisboa and Pizzaioli finishes and does not apply here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second is the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-rotisserie-spit-traditional\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003etraditional rotisserie spit\u003c\/a\u003e, which fits the Ventura pizza oven in both finishes. It is the accessory that turns this from a pizza oven into a rotisserie pizza oven, and it is the reason to choose a Ventura over a Buena Ventura in the first place.

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, for the hydraulic gate the carrier needs to lower a 1,300 pound crate 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\u003eLead times are confirmed when you order, since APO builds in Portugal and stocks in Texas, and we will tell you the honest date before your card is charged rather than after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspect the crate before you sign for it. Note any damage on the delivery receipt, even a scuffed corner, because a signed clean receipt gives up most of your protection. Concealed damage found after opening the crate 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 on the Ventura pizza oven is three years on the structure, materials, and craftsmanship, on the conditions covered above: cure it on the five day schedule, keep it covered when it is not in use, and keep it off a trailer. Hairline cracks in the render are normal and are not a warranty claim.

The Ventura pizza oven is a rotisserie pizza oven because its 12 inch tall Dutch door has a port for the spit rod. The traditional spit seats in a cap at the back of the dome, passes out through the door, and turns by a wooden handle outside while the door stays closed.

Underneath the stone it is the same handmade Portuguese brick oven that made the Pizzaioli APO's top seller: a 39 inch fire brick dome on a concrete slab, Rockwool insulation, a refractory cement shell that stays cool to the touch, a wide cast aluminum door that drops down, and a stainless chimney spout with a damper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the Buena Ventura pizza oven adds is a front that looks like it was laid stone by stone, in a sandy tan brick tone or a gray and black blend, and APO flags the Preto version of the Buena Ventura Premium pizza oven as a best seller in its own right.

The Buena Ventura and the Pizzaioli share the same dome: 39 inches wide, 39 deep, and 26 tall on the outside, with a 30 by 32 inch cooking floor and 15 inches of headroom inside. Both carry the 19.7 inch wide door that drops down like a tailgate, and both are built for the same job, which is pushing heat to the floor for fast pizza.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight, insulation, chimney, base slab, curing schedule, and cover fit are identical on the Pizzaioli and the Buena Ventura pizza oven. If you have read our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-pizzaioli-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePizzaioli page\u003c\/a\u003e, you already know how the Buena Ventura pizza oven cooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat changes is the front. On the Pizzaioli Premium the arch is terracotta and the dome is white render. On the Buena Ventura pizza oven, APO casts a stacked stone facade around the mouth of the oven, a band of irregular ledge stones that frames the door and the arch above it, and the rest of the dome stays white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is cast stone, not individually laid rock, which is why the pattern is consistent oven to oven and why the Buena Ventura pizza oven sits in price with the Pizzaioli Premium rather than with the fully clad Stone Finish or Rustic Pizzaioli. You get the look of a stone pizza oven without the weight or the cost of cladding the whole dome, and the same 1,250 pound oven to lift onto the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white dome is a real advantage on this oven, not an afterthought. APO's render takes high heat paint and thin set tile once the oven is cured and has been fired for a few weeks, so a Buena Ventura brick pizza oven can be finished to match a house color, a countertop, or a mosaic. The stone facade gives you a finished front on day one; the dome gives you the option to make the rest of it yours later. Most owners leave it white, and the contrast between white render and dark ledge stone is most of what makes the Preto Buena Ventura pizza oven photograph so well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"bue-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-buena-ventura-sierra-owner-brick-clad-dome-tiki-outdoor-kitchen.webp?v=1789840469\" alt=\"Buena Ventura Sierra pizza oven with the white dome brick clad by the owner, set into a stacked stone outdoor kitchen under a tiki hut\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe owner above went the other way.

The Buena Ventura pizza oven is the low dome, the Pizzaioli shape, at 26 inches tall with a 19.7 inch wide door that drops down. The Ventura is the tall dome, the Lisboa shape, at 31 inches tall with a 15.5 by 12 inch Dutch door that opens left and right and takes the rotisserie spit. Both come in Sierra and Preto. The Buena Ventura is the wide mouth, pure pizza oven of the pair. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-ventura-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eVentura\u003c\/a\u003e is the rotisserie oven of the pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe low dome is not a compromise, it is the point. With only 15 inches of headroom, the flame from a fire pushed to one side rolls along the underside of the dome and reflects straight back down at the floor, so the top of a pizza browns in the same 60 to 90 seconds the floor takes to crisp the base. A tall dome gives you room for a spit and a wider range of roasting heights; a low dome pizza oven gives you the fastest, most even pizza in the APO range, and that is why the Pizzaioli shape has been APO's top seller for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wide mouth is the other half of it. At 19.7 inches, the door on the Buena Ventura pizza oven is more than four inches wider than the Ventura's, which is the difference between angling a 14 inch pizza through the opening and simply sliding it in. Two 12 inch pizzas fit side by side on the floor, and with the door this wide you can turn one without disturbing the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drop down door is a cast aluminum panel with a viewing window that hinges at the bottom and lowers flat. Down, it is a landing shelf for the peel and a heat shield for your forearms. Up, it seals the mouth and the Buena Ventura pizza oven holds its stored heat for roasting and bread. What it does not have is a port for a spit rod, which is why this oven cannot take the traditional rotisserie and the Ventura can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"bue-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDome\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOutside\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDoor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRotisserie\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFacade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuena Ventura (this page)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow, Pizzaioli shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 W x 26 H x 39 D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.7 x 10.6, drops down, no port\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast stacked stone, Sierra or Preto, white dome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-pizzaioli-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePizzaioli\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 W x 26 H x 39 D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.7 x 10.6, drops down, no port\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTerracotta arch, stone arch, brick arch, or full stone or brick cladding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-ventura-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eVentura\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTall, Lisboa shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 W x 31 H x 39 D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.5 x 12 Dutch door, opens left and right, spit port\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast stacked stone, Sierra or Preto, white dome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bue-cards\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bue-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuena Ventura (this page)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLow Pizzaioli shape, 39 W x 26 H x 39 D. 19.7 x 10.6 door that drops down with no port.

The inside is fire brick rated above 1,200°C, set in refractory mortar rated above 1,500°C, laid up as a 50 to 60 millimeter wall on a 3.15 inch reinforced concrete slab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the brick goes 50 to 80 millimeters of Rockwool at 80 to 120 kilograms per cubic meter, held in place with 18 to 20 gauge steel mesh. Over the Rockwool goes 30 to 50 millimeters of calcium aluminate refractory cement with chamotte aggregate, rated at 25 megapascals. The stone facade and the white render of the Buena Ventura pizza oven sit on top of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat mass is why a Portuguese brick pizza oven behaves nothing like a steel countertop oven. Steel ovens heat in fifteen minutes and lose their floor heat after two or three pizzas. The Buena Ventura pizza oven takes closer to an hour to come up, but APO's own spec calls for it to hold above 350°C for four hours after peak with the door shut, and owners routinely bake bread in the morning on the heat from the night before. Fire brick rated above 1,200°C and a cast aluminum door alloy rated above 230 megapascals mean the hot parts are built for the temperatures involved, not just tolerant of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"bue-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-buena-ventura-margherita-pizza-wood-fired.webp?v=1789837062\" alt=\"Margherita pizza with a leopard spotted crust baked in a Buena Ventura wood fired brick pizza oven\" width=\"800\" height=\"1010\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor pizza, the target is a floor between 370 and 450°C, roughly 700 to 850°F, with a live flame licking the dome. At that point a 12 inch Neapolitan style pizza is done in 60 to 90 seconds, the floor of the Buena Ventura pizza oven takes two at a time, and a steady hand can turn out close to thirty an hour through that wide door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things to know before your first cook in a Buena Ventura pizza oven. First, the dial thermometer in the facade reads the air near the door and lags the floor by a wide margin during the heat up, so wait until the soot on the dome burns off to a clean white before you launch, whatever the dial says. Second, the low dome reflects heat down hard, so the crust edge nearest the fire colors fast: give the pizza a quarter turn every 20 to 30 seconds and it comes out with an even leopard spotted rim instead of one black side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"bue-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-buena-ventura-whole-roast-chicken-fire.webp?v=1789837609\" alt=\"Whole chicken roasting in front of the fire inside a Buena Ventura brick oven\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter pizza, the stored heat is the point. Push the coals to the back, raise the door, and the Buena Ventura pizza oven settles into a long, even fall from roasting heat to baking heat to slow cooking heat over the rest of the day. A whole chicken roasts in front of the coals in about an hour, then steaks seared on a cast iron plate, a tray of potatoes, bread at 250°C, and a pot of beans overnight. There is no spit, so roasts go in a pan or on the floor, and the low dome means the skin browns without turning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"bue-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-buena-ventura-whole-fish-terracotta-baking-dish.webp?v=1789837700\" alt=\"Whole fish and onions roasted in a terracotta baking dish from a Buena Ventura brick oven\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10 by 14.5 inch Portuguese ceramic baking dish that comes with the Buena Ventura pizza oven is sized for exactly this kind of cooking, whole fish over onions and herbs, a tray of vegetables, a casserole, and it is the reason APO includes it. Season it before first use by soaking it in water, then baking it dry at low heat. A bag of seasoned hardwood a week is plenty for a family that cooks in the oven two or three times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"bue-h2\"\u003ePlacement, Base, and Chimney\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Buena Ventura pizza oven arrives fully built on its own 3.15 inch concrete slab, so what you build is a base to set it on, not the oven. The footprint is 39 by 39 inches and the oven weighs about 1,250 pounds, so the base has to be masonry or a poured slab, never a wood deck without engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPO's standard recommendation for the Buena Ventura pizza oven is a U shaped block base five courses high, open at the front for wood storage, with a solid top the full size of the oven's slab. A brick base with a poured cap, as in the photo below, or a granite slab on block piers, works just as well and gives you a landing zone for the peel next to the drop down door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"bue-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-buena-ventura-preto-chimney-extension-rain-cap.webp?v=1789836548\" alt=\"Buena Ventura Preto brick pizza oven with chimney extension and rain cap on a brick base with firewood storage\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Buena Ventura pizza oven has four steel lifting loops cast into the corners of its slab, and the way it gets onto the base is an engine hoist, a small telehandler, or a rented mini crane, with straps through the four loops. Four strong friends will not do it. Plan the lift before delivery day, because the freight carrier drops the crate at the curb and does not carry it into the yard. Once the oven is set the loops can be cut off flush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chimney on the Buena Ventura pizza oven is a 5.5 inch spout, 6 inches tall, with a built in damper, and on its own it clears smoke over your head in an open patio. Under a roof, a pergola, or against a wall you will want the stainless \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-chimney-extension\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003echimney extension\u003c\/a\u003e, in 12 or 38 inches, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-chimney-cap\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003echimney cap\u003c\/a\u003e with its spark screen, sold separately, which lift the outlet above the structure and keep rain out of the flue. The oven above wears both, and that is the setup we recommend anywhere the oven sits near a fence line or a neighbor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClearances to combustibles from the installation guide are 2 inches at the sides of the dome, 16 inches above it, 30 inches around the flue, and 47 inches of non combustible floor in front of the door. The stone facade of a Buena Ventura pizza oven gets warm, not hot, but the chimney and the mouth do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"bue-h3\"\u003eMatching the Base to the Facade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"bue-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-buena-ventura-preto-matching-stacked-stone-base.webp?v=1789836652\" alt=\"Buena Ventura Preto pizza oven on an outdoor kitchen base faced in matching dark stacked stone during construction\" width=\"800\" height=\"681\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cast stone band on a Buena Ventura pizza oven is a stacked ledgestone pattern, and it happens to match the manufactured stone veneer sold at every masonry yard.

APO's curing schedule is five small fires on five consecutive days: 140°F, 215°F, 300°F, 400°F, and 480°F on the dial, each held for a few hours, each one a little bigger than the last. Then a full fire. Skip it and the warranty on your Buena Ventura pizza oven is void, and so is any chance of a clean dome. This is the one instruction on the page we would ask you to read twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven cured properly, every Buena Ventura brick pizza oven will develop hairline cracks in the outer render over its first season, and APO says so plainly: all traditional ovens crack, it is normal, and it is not a defect. The cracks are in the cosmetic shell, not the fire brick chamber, and they do not affect cooking or safety. The oven ships with an Ultra Fire patch kit for exactly this, and touching up a crack takes ten minutes with a putty knife. Expansion at 800°C runs 1 to 1.5 percent, and that movement has to go somewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"bue-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-buena-ventura-preto-block-base-patio-string-lights.webp?v=1789836325\" alt=\"Buena Ventura Preto brick pizza oven on a block base with a peel and firewood shelf on a sunny patio under string lights\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other warranty condition is weather protection. An oven set in the open like the one above, with nothing over it but string lights and maple leaves, needs a cover on it every night it is not in use, because rain soaking into an uncovered dome is the fast way to turn hairline cracks into real ones when the next fire drives the water out as steam. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPO requires an all weather cover whenever the oven is not in use, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-brick-oven-cover\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAuthentic Pizza Ovens cover\u003c\/a\u003e in its Standard fit is the one made for the Buena Ventura pizza oven.

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, for the hydraulic gate the carrier needs to lower a 1,250 pound crate at a home address. Shipping to a business with a loading dock or forklift? Contact us and we refund it.

Note any damage on the delivery receipt, even a scuffed corner, because a signed clean receipt gives up most of your protection. Concealed damage found after opening the crate 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 on the Buena Ventura pizza oven is three years on the structure, materials, and craftsmanship, on the conditions covered above: cure it on the five day schedule, keep it covered when it is not in use, and keep it off a trailer. Hairline cracks in the render are normal and are not a warranty claim.

The Buena Ventura pizza oven is the low Pizzaioli dome, 26 inches high with a 19.7 inch wide drop down door and no spit port, built to push heat to the floor for pizza. The Ventura is the tall Lisboa dome, 31 inches high with a 15.5 by 12 inch Dutch door and rotisserie capability.

Roasts go in a pan or straight on the floor, where the low dome browns them without turning.

The Lume Alto and the Lisboa share the same dome: 39 inches wide, 39 deep, and 31 tall on the outside, with a 31 by 31 inch cooking floor and 19 inches of headroom inside. Both carry the 15.5 by 12 inch Dutch door that splits top and bottom, both have the port in the door and the hole in the rear wall that the rotisserie spit runs through, and both are built for the same job, which is a fast pizza floor with enough height above it to roast standing up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight, insulation, chimney, base slab, curing schedule, and cover fit are identical on the Lisboa Premium and the Lume Alto Premium.

On the Lisboa Premium the arch is a band of terracotta brick set into a white render dome. On the Lume Alto pizza oven, APO builds the front as a square cornered block of gray cast stone, laid in a brick pattern, with the arched opening in the middle of it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thermometer sits in the stone at the left of the door, the black door reads as one piece with the gray, and the white dome rises behind the block on the Premium Lume Alto pizza oven. APO calls it a traditional oven with a modern feel, and the photos above and below show why: it is the APO oven that belongs in a gray and black outdoor kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cast stone front is part of the oven, not a veneer glued on after. Because it is cast rather than laid brick by brick, the pattern is consistent from one Lume Alto brick pizza oven to the next, and the Premium sits in price with the Lisboa Premium and the Ventura rather than with the fully clad finishes. The Tudo is the exception, and it gets its own section below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the Premium, the white dome is a real advantage. APO's render takes high heat paint and thin set tile once the oven is cured and has been fired for a few weeks, so a Lume Alto pizza oven can be finished to match a house color, a countertop, or a mosaic, with the gray front left as it comes. Most owners leave it white; the contrast between a white dome and a gray stone front is most of what makes the Premium photograph so well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"lal-h2\"\u003eChoose Your Lume Alto Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo finishes, one dome, one Lume Alto pizza oven.

It takes the Standard fit of the APO cover, the same cover as the Lisboa Premium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"lal-h3\"\u003eLume Alto Tudo\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"lal-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-alto-tudo-side-profile-full-cast-stone-dome-night.webp?v=1789847073\" alt=\"Lume Alto Tudo pizza oven side profile at night showing gray cast stone cladding over the full dome and the damper handle on the chimney pipe\" width=\"800\" height=\"1422\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTudo is Portuguese for everything, and that is what the Tudo finish is: the same gray cast stone, in the same brick pattern, carried from the front block over the whole dome to the back. There is no white render showing anywhere. The Lume Alto Tudo pizza oven grows to 43 inches wide and 43 deep with the cladding, and to about 1,800 pounds, which puts it in the same weight class as the Rustic Lisboa and the Rustic Pizzaioli, and it is priced with them rather than with the Premium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you get for that is a finished oven from every angle.

The Lume Alto pizza oven is the tall dome, the Lisboa shape, 31 inches high with 19 inches of headroom and a 15.5 by 12 inch Dutch door, split top and bottom, that carries a spit port. The Pizzaioli and the Buena Ventura are the low dome, 26 inches high with 15 inches of headroom and a wide drop down door that has no port.

With 19 inches of headroom, the flame from a fire pushed to one side rolls higher along the dome before it reflects down, so the top of a pizza takes a few seconds longer to color than it does under a low dome. The gain is everything else: a whole chicken standing on a spit, a leg of lamb, a tall Dutch oven, a rack of bread pans, all with the door shut and the heat wrapped around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want the fastest pizza in the range and nothing else, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-pizzaioli-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePizzaioli\u003c\/a\u003e is the honest answer.

The inside is fire brick rated above 1,200°C, set in refractory mortar rated above 1,500°C, laid up as a 50 to 60 millimeter wall on a 3.15 inch reinforced concrete slab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the brick goes 50 to 80 millimeters of Rockwool at 80 to 120 kilograms per cubic meter, held in place with 18 to 20 gauge steel mesh. Over the Rockwool goes 30 to 50 millimeters of calcium aluminate refractory cement with chamotte aggregate, rated at 25 megapascals. The cast stone and, on the Premium, the white render of the Lume Alto pizza oven sit on top of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat mass is why a Portuguese brick pizza oven behaves nothing like a steel countertop oven. Steel ovens heat in fifteen minutes and lose their floor heat after two or three pizzas. The Lume Alto pizza oven takes about an hour to come up on dry hardwood, but APO's own spec calls for it to hold above 350°C for four hours after peak with the door shut, and the Tudo, with an extra 500 pounds of stone wrapped around it, holds a little longer still. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFire brick rated above 1,200°C and a cast aluminum door alloy rated above 230 megapascals mean the hot parts of a Lume Alto pizza oven are built for the temperatures involved, not just tolerant of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"lal-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-alto-pizza-baking-wood-fire-open-door.webp?v=1789847285\" alt=\"Pizza baking on the floor of an Authentic Pizza Ovens Lume Alto with a wood fire burning at the back of the brick dome\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor pizza, the target is a floor between 370 and 450°C, roughly 700 to 850°F, with a live flame rolling up the dome as above. At that point a 12 inch Neapolitan style pizza is done in 60 to 90 seconds, the 31 inch floor of the Lume Alto pizza oven takes two at a time, and a steady hand can turn out close to thirty an hour with the top half of the door open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things to know before your first cook in a Lume Alto pizza oven. First, the dial thermometer in the stone reads the air near the door and lags the floor by a wide margin during the heat up, so wait until the soot on the dome burns off to a clean white before you launch, whatever the dial says. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, the tall dome browns the top of a pizza a few seconds behind the base, so for the last ten seconds lift the pizza on the peel up toward the dome, where the flame is, and the cheese and rim catch up. Owners of low dome ovens never learn that move; owners of a tall dome pizza oven use it every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"lal-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-alto-margherita-pizza-leopard-crust.webp?v=1789847492\" alt=\"Margherita pizza with a leopard spotted crust on a wooden peel, baked in a Lume Alto pizza oven\" width=\"764\" height=\"913\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDone right, the result is the rim above: puffed, leopard spotted, and dry on the bottom, with the mozzarella melted rather than browned. That is what a 31 inch fire brick floor at 400°C does to a well proofed dough in about 75 seconds. The floor of a Lume Alto pizza oven recovers between pizzas faster than the dial suggests, so keep launching; the brick has more heat in it than the air does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"lal-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-alto-tomahawk-steak-roasting-wood-fire.webp?v=1789847374\" alt=\"Tomahawk steak roasting upright in a dish with broccoli and onion beside the fire in a Lume Alto pizza oven\" width=\"800\" height=\"872\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter pizza, the stored heat and the headroom are the point. Push the coals to the back, close the door, and the Lume Alto pizza oven settles into a long, even fall from roasting heat to baking heat to slow cooking heat over the rest of the day. The tomahawk above is standing on its bone in a dish of vegetables beside the coals, which is a cook you cannot do under a 15 inch dome. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA whole chicken on the spit in a Lume Alto pizza oven takes about an hour and a quarter once the flame has died to coals; a leg of lamb longer; then bread at 250°C, and a pot of beans overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10 by 14.5 inch Portuguese ceramic baking dish that comes with the Lume Alto pizza oven is sized for exactly this kind of cooking, whole fish over onions and herbs, a tray of vegetables, a casserole, and it is the reason APO includes it. Season it before first use by soaking it in water, then baking it dry at low heat. A bag of seasoned hardwood a week is plenty for a family that cooks in the oven two or three times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"lal-h2\"\u003ePlacement, Base, and Chimney\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lume Alto pizza oven arrives fully built on its own 3.15 inch concrete slab, so what you build is a base to set it on, not the oven. The Premium's footprint is 39 by 39 inches at about 1,300 pounds; the Tudo's is 43 by 43 at about 1,800. Either way the base has to be masonry or a poured slab, never a wood deck without engineering. The owner in the first photo on this page built a tiled block base beside the deck, which is the right way to get a brick oven next to one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"lal-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-alto-tudo-brick-base-built-in-backyard.webp?v=1789847677\" alt=\"Lume Alto Tudo pizza oven installed on a brick base with a wood storage bay against a brick house wall\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPO's standard recommendation for the Lume Alto pizza oven is a U shaped block base five courses high, open at the front for wood storage, with a solid top the full size of the oven's slab. The brick base with a poured cap above is a textbook version of it, built to match the house, with the wood bay under the oven and a slab landing either side of the door. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a Tudo, size the top for the 43 inch cladding and rate it for the extra weight; the slab underneath the stone is still 39 inches, so the cladding overhangs a 39 inch top and the oven sits on it just as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Lume Alto pizza oven has four steel lifting loops cast into the corners of its slab, and the way it gets onto the base is an engine hoist, a small telehandler, or a rented mini crane, with straps through the four loops. Four strong friends will not do it, and on the Tudo eight will not. Plan the lift before delivery day, because the freight carrier drops the crate at the curb and does not carry it into the yard. Once the oven is set the loops can be cut off flush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"lal-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-alto-tudo-chimney-spout-damper-cast-stone-dome.webp?v=1789847574\" alt=\"Stainless chimney spout with damper rod and rope gasket seal on top of a Lume Alto Tudo cast stone dome\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chimney on the Lume Alto pizza oven is a 5.5 inch stainless spout, 6 inches tall, with a built in damper on a rod, sealed to the top of the dome with a rope gasket as above.

That is owner work, not an APO part, and it is the setup for any Lume Alto pizza oven that lives under a roof rather than beside one. The pipe needs the same clearances a wood stove flue does, and the roof penetration wants a flashing kit and a cap. A good stove installer will do it in a morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClearances to combustibles from the installation guide are 2 inches at the sides of the dome, 16 inches above it, 30 inches around the flue, and 47 inches of non combustible floor in front of the door. The cast stone front of a Lume Alto pizza oven gets warm, not hot, but the chimney and the mouth do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the oven is a finished dome rather than a bare core, a built in kitchen usually means building the counter and the wall up to and around the base and leaving the stone exposed, as in the brick base photo above. That is the simplest built in there is: no enclosure, no venting plan, no finish work on the dome. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want an oven fully enclosed inside a masonry surround, the bare \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-builders-custom-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ebuilders custom pizza oven\u003c\/a\u003e is this same Lisboa dome sold with no facade for exactly that, and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/built-in\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ebuilt in pizza oven collection\u003c\/a\u003e has the cores that were designed to be boxed in.

APO's curing schedule is five small fires on five consecutive days: 140°F, 215°F, 300°F, 400°F, and 480°F on the dial, each held for a few hours, each one a little bigger than the last. Then a full fire. Skip it and the warranty on your Lume Alto pizza oven is void, and so is any chance of a clean dome. This is the one instruction on the page we would ask you to read twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven cured properly, every Lume Alto brick pizza oven will develop hairline cracks in its first season, and APO says so plainly: all traditional ovens crack, it is normal, and it is not a defect. On the Premium the cracks show in the white render; on the Tudo they show in the mortar lines of the cast stone, where they are far less visible. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEither way they are in the cosmetic shell of the Lume Alto pizza oven, not the fire brick chamber, and they do not affect cooking or safety. The oven ships with an Ultra Fire patch kit for exactly this, and touching up a crack takes ten minutes with a putty knife. Expansion at 800°C runs 1 to 1.5 percent, and that movement has to go somewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"lal-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-alto-premium-lit-fire-covered-patio-brick-fireplace.webp?v=1789848122\" alt=\"Lume Alto Premium pizza oven lit and burning in a brick surround above an outdoor fireplace on a covered patio with firewood stacked beside it\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other warranty condition is weather protection.

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, for the hydraulic gate the carrier needs to lower a crate this heavy at a home address. Shipping to a business with a loading dock or forklift? Contact us and we refund it.

The Premium has a gray cast stone front block on a white render dome, 39 inches square at about 1,300 pounds. The Tudo carries the same stone over the entire dome, so it is finished from every angle, grows to 43 inches square, and weighs about 1,800 pounds.

The Lume Alto uses the Lisboa's tall dome, 31 by 31 inch floor, 19 inches of headroom, Dutch door with spit port, insulation, base slab, and weight, and it cooks the same way.

The traditional spit runs through the port in the Dutch door, across the floor, and seats in the hole in the rear wall, with the crank outside, so a chicken, duck, or leg of lamb turns in front of the coals with the door closed around the rod. The spit is sold separately and rides free with the oven.

Underneath the stone it is the oven APO has sold more of than any other: a 39 inch fire brick dome on a concrete slab, Rockwool insulation, a refractory cement shell that stays cool to the touch, a 19.7 by 10.6 inch cast aluminum door that drops down, and a stainless chimney spout with a damper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes a Lume Largo pizza oven cook the way it does is mass. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/sites\/prod\/files\/guide_to_passive_solar_home_design.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eU.S. Department of Energy\u003c\/a\u003e describes thermal mass as material that retains and stores heat, and names concrete, stone, brick, and tile as the usual choices. This oven is all four: fire brick inside, refractory concrete over it, cast stone on the front, and a tile floor to launch on. A steel oven holds heat in its air. A Lume Largo pizza oven holds it in six hundred pounds of masonry, and the pizza floor stays at temperature for hours because of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Lume Largo 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. This is a wood only oven, and it burns roughly four to six pounds of split hardwood an hour at cooking temperature. Oak, hickory, or maple dried under cover for six to twelve months will take this low dome past pizza temperature in about forty five minutes. Green wood will not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can compare the Lume Largo against the rest of the Portuguese line 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 the full picture of what this cast stone pizza oven does, how the Premium and the Tudo differ, who the Lume Largo pizza oven suits, and what to order with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"llg-glance\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"llg-glance-title\"\u003eAuthentic Pizza Ovens Lume Largo at a glance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pizzaioli's handmade Portuguese low brick dome behind a squared gray cast stone front; Premium with a white dome at about 1,250 pounds, Tudo with stone over the whole dome at about 1,800; on a masonry base you build, set by engine hoist on its four lifting loops\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWood only, seasoned hardwood, 4 to 6 pounds an hour; about forty five minutes to an hour to pizza heat, a floor of 370 to 450°C, 500°C maximum on the dial\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e33 by 33 inch firebrick floor under a 15 inch ceiling, the low dome that finishes the top and the base of a pizza together; two 12 inch pizzas at a time, then roasts and bread on stored heat for about four hours after peak\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidest door in the range, 19.7 inches, cast aluminum with a window and vents, drops down flat for pizza service; no spit port, so the rotisserie belongs to the Lume Alto\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gray stone is for the black, concrete and stainless kitchen; the Premium's white dome can be painted or tiled after curing, the Tudo is finished from every angle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive day cure before the first pizza; hairline cracks are normal and patched with the included Ultra Fire kit; a cover is a warranty condition, Standard fit on the Premium, XL on the Tudo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree year structural warranty from an authorized dealer; outdoor residential use, never on a trailer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree freight from Texas on both finishes, with the $95 residential liftgate fee at checkout; 14 day returns on an unused crated oven\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuestions before you order?

The Lume Largo and the Pizzaioli share the same dome: 39 inches wide, 39 deep, and 26 tall on the outside, with a 33 by 33 inch cooking floor and 15 inches of headroom inside. Both carry the 19.7 by 10.6 inch door that drops down on its hinge, both have the wide low mouth that sends flame across the floor rather than up over it, and both are built for the same job, which is the fastest pizza floor in the APO range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight, insulation, chimney, base slab, curing schedule, and cover fit are identical on the Pizzaioli Premium and the Lume Largo Premium. If you have read our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-pizzaioli-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePizzaioli page\u003c\/a\u003e, you already know how the Lume Largo pizza oven cooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat changes is the front. On the Pizzaioli Premium the arch is a band of terracotta brick set into a white render dome. On the Lume Largo pizza oven, APO builds the front as a square cornered block of gray cast stone, laid in a brick pattern, with the arched opening in the middle of it. The thermometer sits in the stone at the left of the door, the black door reads as one piece with the gray, and the white dome rises behind the block on the Premium. It is the low dome APO oven that belongs in a gray and black outdoor kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cast stone front is part of the oven, not a veneer glued on after. Because it is cast rather than laid brick by brick, the pattern is consistent from one Lume Largo brick pizza oven to the next, and the Premium sits in price with the Pizzaioli Premium and the Buena Ventura rather than with the fully clad finishes. The Tudo is the exception, and it gets its own section below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the Premium, the white dome is a real advantage. APO's render takes high heat paint and thin set tile once the oven is cured and has been fired for a few weeks, so a Lume Largo pizza oven can be finished to match a house color, a countertop, or a mosaic, with the gray front left as it comes. Most owners leave it white; the contrast between a white dome and a gray stone front is most of what makes the Premium photograph so well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"llg-h2\"\u003eChoose Your Lume Largo Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo finishes, one dome, one Lume Largo pizza oven.

It is the Lume Largo pizza oven most people picture: the square block of stone, the low arch, the black door with its window and vents, and the white dome behind, with the stainless spout and its damper handle rising off the top. The stone tones run from light gray to charcoal with pale mortar lines between them, so it sits well against dark tile, concrete, stainless, and modern block, and it does not fight a warmer brick or timber setting either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the dome is white render, the Premium is also the one to choose if you plan to paint or tile the dome later, or if you want the lighter oven to lift. It takes the Standard fit of the APO cover, the same cover as the Pizzaioli Premium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"llg-h3\"\u003eLume Largo Tudo\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"llg-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-largo-tudo-front-angle-full-cast-stone-dome.webp?v=1789994657\" alt=\"Lume Largo Tudo pizza oven with gray cast stone brick pattern cladding over the full low dome, viewing window door, and stainless chimney spout\" width=\"800\" height=\"586\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTudo is Portuguese for everything, and that is what the Tudo finish is: the same gray cast stone, in the same brick pattern, carried from the front block over the whole dome to the back. There is no white render showing anywhere. The Lume Largo Tudo pizza oven grows to 43 inches wide and 43 deep with the cladding, and to about 1,800 pounds, which puts it in the same weight class as the Rustic Pizzaioli and the Lume Alto Tudo, and it is priced with them rather than with the Premium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you get for that is a finished oven from every angle. Set it on an island, on a lakeside counter as in the first photo, or anywhere it can be seen from the side or behind, and the Tudo reads as a stone pizza oven, not a stone front on a white dome. It takes the XL fit of the APO cover, the one cut for fully clad domes. The Premium and the Tudo cook identically; the floor, the door, and the chimney are the same on every Lume Largo pizza oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"llg-h2\"\u003eThe Low Dome and the Drop Down Door: Why the Lume Largo Is the Pizza Oven\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"llg-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-largo-tudo-front-angle-stone-base-firewood-bay.webp?v=1789994772\" alt=\"Lume Largo Tudo pizza oven close up showing the drop down door with viewing window and vents, thermometer, and stainless chimney spout over a firewood bay\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPO builds its traditional ovens on two domes, and the names cause mistakes, so here is the split. The Lume Largo pizza oven is the low dome, the Pizzaioli shape, 26 inches high with 15 inches of headroom and a wide 19.7 by 10.6 inch door that drops down. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-alto-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLume Alto\u003c\/a\u003e is the same gray cast stone on the tall dome, the Lisboa shape, 31 inches high with 19 inches of headroom and a narrow Dutch door. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-buena-ventura-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBuena Ventura\u003c\/a\u003e is the low dome in Sierra or Preto stacked stone. The Lume Largo is the low dome in gray cast stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe low dome is the pizza shape, and APO says so about the Pizzaioli line without hedging. With 15 inches of headroom, the flame from a fire pushed to one side has nowhere to go but across the ceiling and straight back down onto the floor, so the top of a pizza colors in the same seconds as the base. There is no lifting the peel toward the dome at the end, no waiting for the rim while the bottom is done. A low dome pizza oven bakes both sides at once, and it does it a little faster and on a little less wood than its tall sibling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cost of that geometry is headroom. A whole chicken standing on a spit, a tall Dutch oven, a rack of bread pans stacked two high: those want the 19 inches of the Lume Alto. A chicken spatchcocked flat, a leg of lamb in a pan, a tray of vegetables, a round loaf, a cast iron skillet: those fit under 15 inches with room to spare, and the Lume Largo pizza oven does all of them on its retained heat after the pizzas are done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the roast dinner on a spit is the point, buy the Lume Alto. If pizza is the point and roasting is the bonus, this is the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drop down door is the other half of it. One cast aluminum door, hinged at the bottom, with a latch at each top corner, a tempered viewing window in the middle, and a row of air vents below it. Unlatch it and it swings down flat in front of the mouth, which is the widest opening in the APO traditional range at 19.7 inches, and a long peel goes in and out of a Lume Largo pizza oven without touching the sides. Close it and the vents feed the fire while the window lets you watch a loaf without opening anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the door is one piece, there is no half open setting the way there is on the tall dome's Dutch door. Owners of a Lume Largo pizza oven run it two ways instead: door down and off for pizza service, with the fire live and the mouth wide open, then door up and latched for roasting and bread, with the coals raked to the back and the vents doing the drafting. It is a simpler rhythm than the tall dome's, and for a pizza night for twelve it is the faster one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"llg-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDome\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOutside\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInside\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDoor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFacade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLume Largo Premium (this page)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow, Pizzaioli shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 W x 26 H x 39 D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 x 33 floor, 15 headroom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.7 x 10.6, drops down\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGray cast stone front block, white dome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLume Largo Tudo (this page)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow, Pizzaioli shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43 W x 26 H x 43 D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 x 33 floor, 15 headroom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.7 x 10.6, drops down\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGray cast stone over the full dome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-pizzaioli-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePizzaioli\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 W x 26 H x 39 D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 x 33 floor, 15 headroom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.7 x 10.6, drops down\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTerracotta brick arch, white dome, or full brick and stone finishes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-buena-ventura-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBuena Ventura\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 W x 26 H x 39 D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33 x 33 floor, 15 headroom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.7 x 10.6, drops down\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast stacked stone, Sierra or Preto, white dome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-alto-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLume Alto\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTall, Lisboa shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 W x 31 H x 39 D (43 x 43 Tudo)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 x 31 floor, 19 headroom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.5 x 12 Dutch door, splits top and bottom, spit port\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGray cast stone front block, white dome, or full Tudo cladding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"llg-cards\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"llg-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLume Largo Premium (this page)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLow Pizzaioli shape, 39 W x 26 H x 39 D. 33 x 33 floor with 15 inches of headroom. 19.7 x 10.6 door that drops down.

The inside is fire brick rated above 1,200°C, set in refractory mortar rated above 1,500°C, laid up as a 50 to 60 millimeter wall on a 3.15 inch reinforced concrete slab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the brick goes 50 to 80 millimeters of Rockwool at 80 to 120 kilograms per cubic meter, held in place with 18 to 20 gauge steel mesh. Over the Rockwool goes 30 to 50 millimeters of calcium aluminate refractory cement with chamotte aggregate, rated at 25 megapascals. The cast stone and, on the Premium, the white render of the Lume Largo pizza oven sit on top of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat mass is why a Portuguese brick pizza oven behaves nothing like a steel countertop oven. Steel ovens heat in fifteen minutes and lose their floor heat after two or three pizzas. The Lume Largo pizza oven takes about forty five minutes to an hour to come up on dry hardwood, but APO's own spec calls for it to hold above 350°C for four hours after peak with the door shut, and the Tudo, with an extra 500 pounds of stone wrapped around it, holds a little longer still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFire brick rated above 1,200°C and a cast aluminum door alloy rated above 230 megapascals mean the hot parts of a Lume Largo pizza oven are built for the temperatures involved, not just tolerant of them. The low dome also means there is less air to heat and less ceiling to bring to color, which is why this shape comes up a little faster than the tall one on the same fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"llg-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-largo-margherita-pizza-wood-fire.webp?v=1789994834\" alt=\"Margherita pizza baking beside the wood fire on the brick floor of a Lume Largo pizza oven\" width=\"800\" height=\"386\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor pizza, the target is a floor between 370 and 450°C, roughly 700 to 850°F, with a live flame rolling across the low ceiling as above. At that point a 12 inch Neapolitan style pizza is done in 60 to 90 seconds, the 33 inch floor of the Lume Largo pizza oven takes two at a time with room to turn them, and a steady hand can turn out better than thirty an hour with the door down and out of the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things to know before your first cook in a Lume Largo pizza oven. First, the dial thermometer in the stone reads the air near the door and lags the floor by a wide margin during the heat up, so wait until the soot on the dome burns off to a clean white before you launch, whatever the dial says. Second, the low dome browns the top of a pizza as fast as the base, so the only move you need is the quarter turn: pull the pizza to the mouth on the peel, spin it, and slide it back beside the fire. Three turns and it is done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDone right, the result is a rim that is puffed and leopard spotted, a base that is dry and crisp, and mozzarella that is melted rather than browned. That is what a 33 inch fire brick floor at 400°C does to a well proofed dough in about 75 seconds. The floor of a Lume Largo pizza oven recovers between pizzas faster than the dial suggests, so keep launching; the brick has more heat in it than the air does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter pizza, the stored heat is the point. Rake the coals to the back, latch the door, and the Lume Largo pizza oven settles into a long, even fall from roasting heat to baking heat to slow cooking heat over the rest of the day. A spatchcocked chicken in the ceramic dish takes about forty minutes once the flame has died to coals; a leg of lamb in a pan longer; then round loaves and pizza bread at 250°C, and a pot of beans or a brisket overnight with the door shut and the damper closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10 by 14.5 inch Portuguese ceramic baking dish that comes with the Lume Largo pizza oven is sized for exactly this kind of cooking, whole fish over onions and herbs, a tray of vegetables, a casserole, and it is the reason APO includes it. Season it before first use by soaking it in water, then baking it dry at low heat. A bag of seasoned hardwood a week is plenty for a family that cooks in the oven two or three times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"llg-h2\"\u003ePlacement, Base, and Chimney\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lume Largo pizza oven arrives fully built on its own 3.15 inch concrete slab, so what you build is a base to set it on, not the oven. The Premium's footprint is 39 by 39 inches at about 1,250 pounds; the Tudo's is 43 by 43 at about 1,800. Either way the base has to be masonry or a poured slab, never a wood deck without engineering. The owner below built a fieldstone base with a granite top, which is the right way to get a brick oven into a garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"llg-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-largo-tudo-fieldstone-base-backyard-outdoor-kitchen.webp?v=1789994899\" alt=\"Lume Largo Tudo pizza oven built onto a fieldstone base with a granite counter in a fenced backyard\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPO's standard recommendation for the Lume Largo pizza oven is a U shaped block base five courses high, open at the front for wood storage, with a solid top the full size of the oven's slab. The fieldstone base above is a textbook version of it, faced in stone to match the garden wall, with the wood bay under the oven and a granite counter run out to one side for a landing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a Tudo, size the top for the 43 inch cladding and rate it for the extra weight; the slab underneath the stone is still 39 inches, so the cladding overhangs a 39 inch top and the Lume Largo pizza oven sits on it just as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Lume Largo pizza oven has four steel lifting loops cast into the corners of its slab, and the way it gets onto the base is an engine hoist, a small telehandler, or a rented mini crane, with straps through the four loops. Four strong friends will not do it, and on the Tudo eight will not. Plan the lift before delivery day, because the freight carrier drops the crate at the curb and does not carry it into the yard. Once the oven is set the loops can be cut off flush, or left as the owner above did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chimney on the Lume Largo pizza oven is a 5.5 inch stainless spout, 6 inches tall, with a built in damper on a rod, sealed to the top of the dome with a rope gasket. On its own it clears smoke over your head in an open patio, and because the low dome puts the spout at about 26 inches, the extension matters more here than on the tall ovens. Under a roof, a pergola, or against a wall you will want the stainless \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-chimney-extension\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003echimney extension\u003c\/a\u003e, in 12 or 38 inches, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-chimney-cap\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003echimney cap\u003c\/a\u003e with its spark screen, sold separately, which lift the outlet above the structure and keep rain out of the flue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder a solid roof the extension is not enough, and the answer is a double wall stove pipe from the spout up through the ceiling, with a flashing kit and a cap at the roof. That is owner work, not an APO part, and it is the setup for any Lume Largo pizza oven that lives under a roof rather than beside one. The pipe needs the same clearances a wood stove flue does, and a good stove installer will do it in a morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClearances to combustibles from the installation guide are 2 inches at the sides of the dome, 16 inches above it, 30 inches around the flue, and 47 inches of non combustible floor in front of the door. The cast stone front of a Lume Largo pizza oven gets warm, not hot, but the chimney and the mouth do, and a door that drops down flat in front of the oven means the landing in front of it is in use every time you cook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the oven is a finished dome rather than a bare core, a built in kitchen usually means building the counter and the wall up to and around the base and leaving the stone exposed, as in the photo above. That is the simplest built in there is: no enclosure, no venting plan, no finish work on the dome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want an oven fully enclosed inside a masonry surround, the bare \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-builders-custom-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ebuilders custom pizza oven\u003c\/a\u003e is this same Pizzaioli dome sold with no facade for exactly that, and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/built-in\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ebuilt in pizza oven collection\u003c\/a\u003e has the cores that were designed to be boxed in. The Lume Largo pizza oven is not one of them, and with the Tudo especially, hiding the stone would be the wrong move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"llg-h2\"\u003eCuring, Cracks, and Weather Protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new Portuguese brick pizza oven holds water in its mortar, its cement shell, and its slab, and that water has to leave slowly or it leaves as steam and cracks the shell. APO's curing schedule is five small fires on five consecutive days: 140°F, 215°F, 300°F, 400°F, and 480°F on the dial, each held for a few hours, each one a little bigger than the last. Then a full fire. Skip it and the warranty on your Lume Largo pizza oven is void, and so is any chance of a clean dome. This is the one instruction on the page we would ask you to read twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven cured properly, every Lume Largo brick pizza oven will develop hairline cracks in its first season, and APO says so plainly: all traditional ovens crack, it is normal, and it is not a defect. On the Premium the cracks show in the white render; on the Tudo they show in the mortar lines of the cast stone, where they are far less visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEither way they are in the cosmetic shell of the Lume Largo pizza oven, not the fire brick chamber, and they do not affect cooking or safety. The oven ships with an Ultra Fire patch kit for exactly this, and touching up a crack takes ten minutes with a putty knife. Expansion at 800°C runs 1 to 1.5 percent, and that movement has to go somewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other warranty condition is weather protection. An oven set in the open, like the lakeside Tudo at the top of this page, needs a cover on it every night it is not in use, because rain soaking into an uncovered dome is the fast way to turn hairline cracks into real ones when the next fire drives the water out as steam. A roof does most of the work for an oven under one, and a full outdoor kitchen roof is better still, but the cover is the condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPO requires an all weather cover whenever the oven is not in use, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-brick-oven-cover\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAuthentic Pizza Ovens cover\u003c\/a\u003e comes in the two fits this page needs: Standard for the Premium, XL for the Tudo.

It is the right call for a family that will run a pizza night for twelve people most weekends and roast on the leftover heat, for a counter or island where the oven is seen from the front and the side, and for anyone who wants the stone look without a warm Sierra or Preto tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the Tudo Lume Largo pizza oven over the Premium if the oven will be seen from the side or behind, if you never intend to paint or tile a dome, and if the base and the lift can handle 1,800 pounds. Choose the Premium if the oven sits against a wall or in an alcove where only the front shows, if you want the option of finishing the dome yourself, or if the extra weight is a problem for your site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-lume-alto-brick-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLume Alto\u003c\/a\u003e instead of the Lume Largo pizza oven if you want the same gray cast stone on the tall dome, with the headroom to roast standing up and run a rotisserie spit.

The Premium takes the Standard fit, because the dome behind the stone front is plain white render; the Tudo takes the XL fit, because the cladding adds four inches each way and the cover has to clear it. Pick the fit that matches your finish on the cover page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second is the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-starter-pack\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003efive piece starter pack\u003c\/a\u003e: a wooden peel to build on, a long aluminum peel to launch and retrieve, a turner, an ash shovel, and an oven brush. Nothing in the crate does those jobs, and with a 19.7 inch mouth and the door down out of the way, the turner is the one you will reach for most on a Lume Largo pizza oven, because a quarter turn at the mouth is the whole technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does not belong on the order is the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-rotisserie-spit-traditional\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003etraditional rotisserie spit\u003c\/a\u003e.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.\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-stacked-stone-base-firewood-fire-lit.webp?v=1790026205\" alt=\"Red Maximus pizza oven with the fire lit on a stacked stone base filled with neatly stacked firewood in front of a wood fence\" width=\"800\" height=\"1199\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second answer is a base you build, and because the Maximus pizza oven weighs about 200 pounds rather than 1,200, the base can be anything that is level, non combustible on top, and about 32 to 36 inches high. 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, 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; APO has an instructional video and we will send it with your order on request. An oven that goes on the road without the modification is outside the warranty. With it, a Maximus pizza oven is a proven small wood fired pizza oven for trucks that heats in half an hour before service and burns a few pounds of wood an hour while you cook.\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\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. 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.

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, for the hydraulic gate the carrier needs to lower a pallet at a home address.

The last two are customer clips of this oven, the Maximus pizza oven at 27.5 inches, in Black and in Red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"max-video\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Kr52SCLjivQ\" title=\"How to start a fire in an Authentic Pizza Ovens oven\" loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"max-video\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Hrg_KJxZAPM\" title=\"How to cook pizza in a Maximus wood fired oven\" loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"max-video\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VJMMYfyV9_g\" title=\"Meet the Maximus wood fired pizza oven\" loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"max-video\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Kefio5RlF4o\" title=\"Maximus mobile pizza oven in Black, customer clip\" loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"max-video\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Cv2xIVykuw0\" title=\"Maximus mobile pizza oven in Red, customer clip\" loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eINSTALLATION GUIDE \u0026amp; USER MANUAL\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSite and base.\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose a level spot with 2 inches of clearance at the sides of the oven, 16 inches above the chimney cap, and a non combustible landing in front of the door. 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.\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. This dries the tiles and the cast stone gently. Never use softwood, treated wood, charcoal lighter, or any accelerant, and never exceed 500°C on the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvery fire.\u003c\/strong\u003e Build the fire at the back of the floor with the door off. 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. Sweep ash out once the oven is cold, and lift a tile to brush the frame now and then.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMoving it.\u003c\/strong\u003e Let the oven cool completely. Remove the chimney and the door, pack the dish and tools separately, and lift by the body with two people. For a food truck or trailer, complete APO's securing modification (added bolts from the dome into the face, adequate suspension, oven tied down) before the first trip; ask us for the instructional video.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAfter cooking.\u003c\/strong\u003e Let the oven cool fully before covering.

An oven that sits uncovered through a season is outside the warranty, and APO says so on every oven page in capitals. The Maximus pizza oven cover is how you meet the condition, and it is the only APO cover cut for the Mobile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless and aluminum body does not need a portable pizza oven cover for its own sake; stainless and powder coated aluminum shrug off rain. Three things on the oven do need it. The cast stone front is porous refractory cement, and the freeze thaw damage described in the link above is exactly what an uncovered stone front suffers in a northern winter. The refractory tile floor holds water the same way, and a wet tile that gets a hot fire on it can crack from the steam. The ceramic dish, if it stays in the oven, is the most porous of all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSun is the fourth. A Maximus Mobile lives outside, and a gloss red or orange powder finish under a year of direct sun will fade the way any painted surface does. The Maximus pizza oven cover keeps the body out of the sun between cooks, which is most of the week. The Maximus pizza oven cover itself is fade resistant rather than fade proof, which is why APO limits its own warranty to two years and excludes fading; a cover that has gone a shade gray still works exactly as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe habit that makes all of this simple: let the oven cool after cooking, lift the cap, and put the Maximus pizza oven cover on before you go inside. Two minutes, and the oven is protected until the next fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mmc-h2\"\u003ePutting It On and Taking It Off\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mmc-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-mobile-cover-drawstring-toggle-close-up.webp?v=1790108695\" alt=\"Close up of the drawstring and cord lock at the hem of the Maximus Mobile pizza oven cover being cinched under the oven\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oven has to be cold before the Maximus pizza oven cover goes on. The body cools quickly once the fire is out, but the tile floor and the stone front hold heat for an hour or two, and the cover is polyester with a PVC backing; it will mark, and in the worst case melt, on a warm oven. Wait until the stone front is cool to the palm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen lift the chimney cap off the flue, set it inside the oven or on the shelf, and drop the Maximus pizza oven cover over the top so the sleeve goes down over the flue. Pull the hem down to the base plate all round, then cinch the drawstring and lock the cord, as above, so wind cannot get under it. That is the whole job; there are no straps or buckles to find in the dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo take the Maximus pizza oven cover off, release the cord lock, lift it straight up over the flue, and shake it out. Fit the cap back on the chimney before you light the fire; the cap is what keeps rain out of the flue while the cover is off during cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleaning is a damp cloth and a hang dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry it, since the PVC backing will not survive either, and do not store it wet. A Maximus pizza oven cover that goes on wet over a cold oven traps water against the stone, which is the thing it exists to prevent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mmc-h2\"\u003eTransport and Storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mmc-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-mobile-cover-flat-logo-patch-storage-bag.webp?v=1790109433\" alt=\"Maximus Mobile pizza oven cover laid out flat showing the Authentic Pizza Ovens logo patch beside its zip storage bag\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maximus Mobile is the oven that goes in the car, and APO sells the Maximus pizza oven cover as transport protection as well as weather protection. With the chimney and door out and the cover cinched over the body, the oven rides in a hatchback or a pickup bed without the stone front picking up scuffs from the tailgate or the load bay, and it arrives at the tailgate, the campsite, or the rental with the paint clean. Owners who tow it on a trailer use it the same way between stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maximus pizza oven cover ships in its own zip bag, as above, which is worth keeping.

It is a black powder coated steel frame, 27 inches square and 35 tall, with a steel shelf underneath for firewood, a pull out drawer under the oven for tools, a fold out hardwood shelf on each side, and two wheels on the right hand legs so one person can tip it and roll the oven across a patio. It is made in Portugal alongside the oven and fits the Maximus Mobile only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood matters more than it looks. The side shelves are the landing for a peel, a dish, and a pizza on its way out, and they are the part of the Maximus pizza oven stand that lives outside without paint. Popular Woodworking's guide to \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.popularwoodworking.com\/finishing\/exterior-oil-finishes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eexterior oil finishes\u003c\/a\u003e gives the rule for wood like this: a penetrating oil rather than a varnish, wiped on and off, renewed whenever a splash of water soaks in instead of beading. A coat a season keeps the slats the warm color they arrive in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stand rides free on the same delivery when it is on an order with the oven, since the oven clears our $750 free shipping threshold on its own. Ordered alone, at 80 pounds boxed, it ships as a standard parcel at the standard rate, no freight and no liftgate. Nearly every Maximus Mobile we sell goes out on this stand, and every customer photo on the oven page that shows wood shelves is showing this cart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of this page covers what the Maximus pizza oven stand fits and where it puts the cooking floor, the shelves, drawer, and wheels, the wood slats and their care, using it on a deck, a patio, and in transit, when a built base is the better answer, and buying it from Crustify.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mms-h2\"\u003eWhat It Fits and Where It Puts the Floor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mms-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-mobile-stand-woody-black-oven-shelves-out.webp?v=1790111434\" alt=\"Authentic Pizza Ovens Maximus Mobile pizza oven stand, the Woody, with a black Maximus on top, both wood slat side shelves extended, lower steel shelf, and two wheels\" width=\"674\" height=\"1264\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Authentic Pizza Ovens Maximus stand is built around the Mobile's 27.5 inch base plate. The top frame is 27.7 inches wide by APO's drawing, the oven sits on it with its base plate inside the rails, and nothing bolts through; the oven's 200 pounds hold it. It fits 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 in Black, Red, and Orange. It does not fit the Maximus Prime, which is 39 inches wide and takes APO's separate Prime cart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame stands 35 inches tall, and the Mobile's cooking floor sits about 4 inches above its base plate, so on the Maximus pizza oven stand the floor lands at about 39 inches, the height of a kitchen counter plus a little. That is where you want it: high enough to see the pizza without bending, low enough to work a peel through the 15.5 inch door all night. On a 30 inch patio table the floor is at 34, which is back trouble by the third pizza.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith both side shelves out the Maximus Mobile pizza oven stand is 56.5 inches wide; with them folded down it is the 27 inch footprint of the oven, which is how it stores against a wall or goes through a gate. The lower shelf holds an evening's firewood, as above, and the pull out drawer holds the peel, the turner, and the thermometer when they are not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mms-h2\"\u003eShelves, Drawer, and Wheels\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mms-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-mobile-stand-woody-pull-out-tool-drawer.webp?v=1790111606\" alt=\"Close up of the pull out steel tool drawer under the oven on the Maximus Mobile Woody stand, with the wood slat shelf beside it\" width=\"800\" height=\"571\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree things separate the Maximus pizza oven stand from a prep table. The first is the pair of hardwood side shelves, each 14 inches deep and about 29 long by the drawing, on hinged steel arms that fold flat against the legs when you are not cooking. One holds the dish and the toppings, the other takes the pizza off the peel. Together they turn a 27 inch oven into a 56 inch work station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second is the drawer, above. It is a shallow steel tray on runners under the oven, wide enough for the included stainless peel, the turner from the starter pack, a brush, and the thermometer, and it keeps them out of the weather without a trip indoors. The third is the wheels, two of them on the right hand legs, with fixed feet on the left. Lift the left side by the frame and the Maximus pizza oven stand rolls like a wheelbarrow, oven and all, from the shed to the patio and back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame of the Maximus pizza oven stand is welded steel in a black powder finish, and it does not flex under a lit oven; owners run the Maximus at full heat on this stand with no shielding under it, because the oven's base plate stays cool and the steel shelf below is nowhere near the fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mms-h2\"\u003eThe Wood Slats and Their Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe slats on the Maximus pizza oven stand are solid hardwood, oiled at the factory, and they arrive the warm honey color in the photos. Left alone outdoors they will gray in a season or two, the way any oiled hardwood does, and they will still be sound. If you want the color to stay, wipe on a penetrating exterior oil once a season, let it soak, wipe off the excess, and do the splash test in between: if water soaks in rather than beading, it is time. Never varnish them; a film finish on a shelf that takes a hot peel will chip and peel within a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHot things go on the wood every night a Maximus pizza oven stand is in use, and the slats take it. A peel fresh from the oven, a pizza on a board, a ceramic dish out of the chamber; set them down. What the wood should not take is a cast iron pan straight off the coals, which will scorch a ring into any timber. A trivet on one shelf solves that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the slats down after cooking, hose the frame of the Maximus pizza oven stand off when it is dirty, and in winter fold the shelves in and cover the oven. The cover fits over the oven only, and the stand stays open to the weather, which the powder coat and the oiled hardwood are built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mms-h2\"\u003eOn a Deck, a Patio, and in Transit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mms-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-mobile-stand-woody-oven-close-angle.webp?v=1790111531\" alt=\"Black Maximus Mobile pizza oven sitting on the Woody stand with the wood slat shelves out on both sides, seen from the front corner\" width=\"800\" height=\"615\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA composite or timber deck is the most common home for a Maximus pizza oven stand, and it works because the oven's heat stays in the oven. The base plate under the Maximus is cool enough to touch while the floor inside is at pizza temperature, and 35 inches of open steel frame sit between it and the deck. The clearances that matter are the oven's: 2 inches at the sides, 16 above the chimney cap, and a non combustible landing in front of the door, which on a deck means a steel or stone mat where ash and embers could fall from the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a patio the Maximus pizza oven stand rolls to wherever the smoke goes away from the table, which is the advantage of a portable pizza oven stand over a built base. On a lawn the two wheels and two feet sit fine on firm ground and sink in soft ground; a pair of pavers under the fixed feet keeps it level and keeps the oven where you put it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor transit, the Maximus pizza oven stand folds down to the oven's footprint and goes in a pickup bed or a trailer beside the oven. It is 80 pounds boxed and about the same assembled, so it is a two person lift into a truck, and it needs tying down like anything else. It is not a towing cart and the wheels are not rated for the road; move it, park it, cook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mms-h2\"\u003eStand or Build a Base\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mms-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-mobile-stand-woody-covered-oven-firewood-shelf_webp.webp?v=1790111676\" alt=\"Maximus Mobile pizza oven under its cover on the Woody stand, firewood stacked on the lower shelf and a wood slat side shelf extended\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy the Maximus pizza oven stand if you want the oven usable the day it arrives, if you want to move it, if you cook on a deck, or if you have no masonry to set it on. It is the answer for most Mobile buyers, and it is why the oven page recommends this pizza oven cart second only to the cover. The photo above is the whole set: oven, cover, stand, firewood on the shelf, and nothing to build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild a base instead if the oven is going into a permanent outdoor kitchen where it will never move, if you want a wood bay bigger than the shelf, or if you want the oven at a height the stand does not give. A block base with a paver cap, a stainless prep table, or a poured counter all work, and the oven page walks through each. What the base has to be is level, non combustible on top, rated for 200 pounds, and about 32 to 36 inches high; what it will not do is roll the way the Maximus pizza oven stand does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome owners do both: a base at home and the stand for events, or the stand at home and a rented table at the event.

The frame is 35 inches tall and the Maximus Mobile's tile floor sits about 4 inches above its base plate, so the floor lands a little above kitchen counter height.

The heat stays in the oven; the Maximus Mobile's base plate is cool enough to touch while the floor inside is at pizza temperature, and 35 inches of open steel frame sit between it and the deck.

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 a Maximus Prime pizza oven 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. 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 the same 39 inches square, about 1,250 pounds on a slab, and needs an hour to come up to temperature and a masonry base to sit on. 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. That is the whole decision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eConstruction: Stainless Chamber, Aluminum Skin, Cast Stone Front\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mxp-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/apo-maximus-prime-black-apo-stand-fire-lit-fern-wall.webp?v=1790182004\" alt=\"Black Maximus Prime pizza oven on the APO stand with a fire burning, fern wall behind\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body of a Maximus Prime pizza oven is three layers, the same three as the Mobile. 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. Set it back in place and the holes meter air to the fire for roasting and bread. 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 a Maximus Prime pizza oven is a 5.9 inch stainless flue with a cap, mounted at the back of the dome rather than over the mouth. Because the chamber is stainless rather than brick, a 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 a Maximus Prime pizza oven 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 Maximus Prime 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, 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 a Maximus Prime pizza oven 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 Maximus Prime pizza oven's wider mouth makes that easy; the Mobile's 15.5 inch door does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWood matters more in a Maximus Prime pizza oven 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 Maximus Prime pizza oven's 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.

Fish over lemon and asparagus, a casserole, a bread pudding, a pan of roast potatoes: the dish sits beside the coals and comes out with the glaze a wood fire puts on everything. Season it before first use by soaking it in water and baking it dry at low heat, and it will outlast the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBread wants the Maximus Prime 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 two or three round loaves 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 Prime pizza oven will not hold heat overnight the way a brick dome does, but an evening of pizza, then a roast, then bread on the falling heat, is a normal Saturday for one, with more of each than the Mobile can hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eCarts, Counters, and Bases for a 400 Pound Portable Oven\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mxp-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/apo-maximus-prime-black-cart-outdoor-kitchen-stone-grill-island.webp?v=1790183170\" alt=\"Black Maximus Prime on its rolling cart beside a stone outdoor kitchen island with a built in grill\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maximus Prime pizza oven has no legs of its own; it sits flat on its base plate, and you choose what goes under it. The first answer is the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-stand\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eBello, APO's own cart for the Prime\u003c\/a\u003e, a powder coated steel frame with a lower shelf and wheels, built for the 39 inch footprint, which puts the floor at working height and rolls across a patio. The owner above parked a Black Prime on its cart beside the built in grill of a stone outdoor kitchen, and that is the easiest installation there is: no base, no masonry, and the oven moves if the layout changes.\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 Maximus Prime pizza oven 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 for a Maximus Prime pizza oven 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 Maximus Prime pizza 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 Maximus Prime pizza oven 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. A Maximus Prime pizza oven has no gas line, no electrical load, and no moving parts, which simplifies most of that conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mxp-warn\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore a Maximus Prime pizza oven goes on the road.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003eAn oven mounted in a truck or trailer takes vibration and suspension shock that a patio oven never sees.

A Maximus Prime pizza oven 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, and it takes four people or a lift gate to get it down. Caterers who use one tend to leave it on a small trailer or a purpose built cart and tow the rig, which solves the base question at every venue. Let the oven cool fully before it moves, and lift by the body, never by the stone front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mxp-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/apo-maximus-prime-red-stone-table-woodland.webp?v=1790182645\" alt=\"Red Maximus Prime on a stone table in a woodland setting with autumn leaves\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt home the same portability means something simpler: the Maximus Prime pizza oven went where a brick oven could not. The Red Prime above sits on a stone slab table at the edge of a wood, put there without a pour, a hoist, or a mason. A large portable pizza oven at 400 pounds is still a two hour job to move with the right help, but it is a job you can do, and that is not true of any brick dome on our site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eA Commercial Wood Fired Pizza Oven for a Small Pizzeria\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mxp-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/apo-maximus-prime-red-pizzeria-kitchen-fire-lit.webp?v=1790183286\" alt=\"Red Maximus Prime running in a working pizzeria kitchen with the fire lit and pizza boxes stacked\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pizzeria above runs a Red Maximus Prime pizza oven as its main oven, with the boxes stacked beside it and the fire lit for service. That is not unusual. At 80 twelve inch pizzas an hour, a Maximus Prime pizza oven covers a small pizzeria, a pop up, a brewery kitchen, or a restaurant that wants a wood fired section on the menu without a 3,000 pound masonry oven and the engineering that comes with it. It sits on a stainless stand, vents through a hood like any solid fuel appliance, and one cook can run it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo honest notes for a commercial buyer of a Maximus Prime pizza oven. 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 Maximus Prime pizza oven holds heat for an hour or two after the fire, not all night, so a restaurant that wants a bread program on stored heat should look at a brick dome. For everything a pizza service needs, a Maximus Prime pizza oven does it at a fraction of the weight and cost, and owners run it in trucks, cafes, and pizzerias.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the business case is what you are weighing, our post on whether \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/are-outdoor-pizza-ovens-worth-it\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eoutdoor pizza ovens are worth it\u003c\/a\u003e runs the numbers for a home buyer, and for a food business the math is simpler: one Prime, one fire, and a sixty dollar bag of hardwood is a night of service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eFirst Fires, Care, and the Cover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no five day curing schedule on a Maximus Prime 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 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 on a Maximus Prime pizza oven 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 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 a Maximus Prime pizza oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one condition on the warranty is weather. APO requires an all weather cover on every Maximus Prime pizza oven whenever it is not in use, rain, snow, leaves, and sun included, and it makes a cover cut for this oven: heavy duty polyester with a PVC backing and a drawstring hem that slips over the body once the chimney and cap are lifted off, sold as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-cover\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eMaximus Prime cover\u003c\/a\u003e.

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, for the hydraulic gate the carrier needs to lower a 400 pound pallet 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 of a Maximus Prime pizza oven from the curb before delivery day. The crate comes off the truck onto your driveway; from there the oven goes to its base on a pallet jack, an appliance dolly with straps, or with four people on the base plate. Take the chimney, door, dish, and spare tile out of the crate first, and never lift by the stone front. Lead times are confirmed when you order, since APO builds in Portugal and stocks in Texas, and we tell you the honest date before your card is charged rather than after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspect the Maximus Prime pizza oven crate before you sign for it. 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 on a Maximus Prime pizza oven 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 Maximus Prime pizza oven and the Mobile, or between this and a brick dome, before you commit.

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.

That is the whole job of a Maximus Prime pizza oven cover: the oven works in the open, and between fires it stays dry, out of the sun, and clear of leaves and birds. The cover does nothing while you cook and everything the rest of the week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt fits one oven. The Maximus Prime pizza oven cover is a large pizza oven cover patterned to the Prime's 39 inch base plate and dome, so it drops straight over the body and pulls tight at the hem with no bunching at the corners and no gap at the front. It does not fit the 27.5 inch Maximus Mobile, which has its own cover, or APO's brick domes, which are taller and rounder and have two covers of their own. If you have a Prime, this is the cover; for anything else from APO, the table below points you to the right one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPO calls it the cover for Prime pizza ovens and prints exactly that on the woven label, which matters because the wrong cover is the most common cover mistake. A cover that is too big pools water and lets wind under the hem; one that is too small leaves the stone front bare. A large pizza oven cover cut for the Prime does neither.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eWhy It Is 31 Inches Tall on a 44 Inch Oven\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mpc-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-cover-on-prime-block-base-patio.webp?v=1790187081\" alt=\"Maximus Prime pizza oven cover on a Prime set on a block base beside a covered patio, peel and tools stored in the base\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prime stands 44.5 inches with its chimney and cap fitted and 30.3 inches without them, and the Maximus Prime pizza oven cover is 31 inches tall. That is not a misprint. The stainless flue and cap lift off the Prime in a few seconds, leaving a short collar on the dome, and the cover is shaped to sit over that collar, as on the block base oven above. Chimney off, cover on, cord pulled: that is APO's instruction, and it is the routine after every fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a reason the Maximus Prime pizza oven cover is built that way rather than as a tall sleeve up a 14 inch pipe. A cover that reaches the top of the chimney cap is a sail. Wind catches it, lifts it, and works at the hem until it is off the oven. The Maximus Prime pizza oven cover keeps its top low and close to the dome, so the wind has nothing to grab, and the drawstring at the bottom holds the rest. The flue and cap spend the night in the storage bag or on the cart shelf and go back on before the next fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same logic is why it is shaped, not a box. A square cover on a dome leaves pockets where water sits. The Maximus Prime pizza oven cover follows the curve of the body, sheds water off the back and sides, and dries fast once the rain stops. Look at the block base photo again: the cover is wet at the back and the front is already dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eWhy the Prime Needs One\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prime is stainless steel inside, aluminum outside, and cast stone at the front, and none of that rusts. So why does APO make a cover a condition of the warranty? Because the parts that are not metal are the parts weather reaches. The refractory tile floor absorbs water. Water in a tile that freezes, or meets a 400°C fire before it has left, spalls the tile. The cast stone front does the same on a smaller scale, and a hairline crack that was cosmetic opens up over winters of soaking and freezing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen there is the sun, and it is the reason every outdoor pizza oven cover earns its price. The Prime's skin is powder coated aluminum, and the Red in particular is a paint, not a dye in the metal. Ultraviolet light fades paint, and on a bright patio the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/sunsafety\/uv-index-scale-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eEPA UV Index\u003c\/a\u003e runs high most days from spring to fall, which is why a red car left outside goes pink on the roof. A Maximus Prime pizza oven cover between fires is the difference between a Red Prime that still looks red at year five and one that has faded to salmon on top and stayed red on the sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd there is the ordinary business of living outdoors. Leaves and seed pods collect in the chimney collar and the door holes. Birds find the mouth of an oven with the door off. Sap from an overhanging tree sets on the cast stone. Pollen sits on everything. The Maximus Prime pizza oven cover stops all of that at the fabric, and a wipe with a damp cloth clears the cover in a minute, where the same mess on the oven takes an hour and does not all come off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eFitting It on a Cart, a Counter, or a Truck\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mpc-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-cover-on-prime-homemade-cart.webp?v=1790187176\" alt=\"Maximus Prime pizza oven cover on a Prime mounted on a homemade steel and timber cart in a backyard\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prime has no legs, so what it sits on decides how a Maximus Prime pizza oven cover finishes at the bottom. On APO's Prime cart, or on a homemade cart like the one above, the oven's base plate sits proud of the top and the cover's hem drops below the plate, so the drawstring pulls tight under the oven and the cover cannot lift. That is the cleanest fit there is, and it is the one most owners have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn an outdoor kitchen counter or a block base the Maximus Prime pizza oven cover cannot go under the plate, so the hem sits on the counter around the base of the oven, and the drawstring gathers it against the body. That is the block base fit shown earlier, and it works because the cover is cut close; there is not enough spare fabric for wind to get under. If the counter is exposed and the wind is a regular problem, a single bungee cord over the top from one side of the base to the other settles it, though few owners find they need one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a food truck or trailer the Maximus Prime pizza oven cover has a second job as a food truck pizza oven cover. APO says it also protects the oven during transport, and on a trailer that is most of the point: the oven rides covered between events with the chimney stowed, and the cover keeps road grime, rain, and sun off the stone front while the rig is parked. It is not a tie down and does not replace one; the oven must be secured to the counter with APO's modification before it travels, and the cover goes on over a secured oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eThe Fabric, the Patch, and the Storage Bag\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mpc-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-cover-logo-patch-storage-bag.webp?v=1790187248\" alt=\"Maximus Prime pizza oven cover laid out flat showing the Authentic Pizza Ovens logo patch, with its black zip storage bag beside it\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maximus Prime pizza oven cover is heavy duty polyester with a PVC backing, which is what any outdoor pizza oven cover worth buying is made of. The polyester is the outside, woven tight enough to shed water and stand up to sun; the PVC layer is bonded to the inside, which is what makes the cover waterproof rather than water resistant. Rain does not soak through, and a cover that does not soak through does not hold water against the oven. It is a black cover with a satin finish, which shows less dust than a matte one and wipes clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Authentic Pizza Ovens logo patch, above, is sewn to the front panel and sits over the cast stone when the cover is on. The zip storage bag beside it comes with the cover and is worth keeping: it is where the folded cover lives while the oven is in use, and where the flue and cap can ride when the oven travels. A cover that is dropped on the ground while you cook picks up ash and grit that then sit against the oven all week; the bag is a one second habit that prevents it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mpc-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-cover-folded-woven-label.webp?v=1790187322\" alt=\"Folded Maximus Prime pizza oven cover showing the woven Cover Prime label and the Authentic Pizza Ovens tag\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo labels are sewn into the hem of the Maximus Prime pizza oven cover: a woven Cover Prime label and an Authentic Pizza Ovens tag.

To take the cover off, press the lock, let the cord out, and lift; there are no clips to break and no straps to snag on the cart.

Let the Prime cool fully after the last fire, which on a 400 pound oven with a tile floor is a couple of hours after the coals die, then lift the flue and cap, drop the cover over, and pull the cord. A cover put on a warm oven traps moisture from the cooling tiles and the cast stone against the body, and the PVC backing that keeps rain out keeps that moisture in.

And the brick oven covers are shaped for a round dome on a masonry base, not for the Prime's flat topped body on a cart, so an XL brick cover on a Prime pools water and hangs loose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eCare, Fading, and What to Expect\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare of a Maximus Prime pizza oven cover is a damp cloth. Wipe the Maximus Prime pizza oven cover down when it is dusty, rinse it with a hose if a bird has found it, and hang it to dry over the cart or a fence before it goes back in the bag. Do not machine wash it and do not put it in a dryer; heat and agitation break the PVC bond and the cover stops being waterproof. No detergents stronger than dish soap, no pressure washer, no bleach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPO is honest about fading and so are we. The Maximus Prime pizza oven cover's fabric and black dye are fade resistant, and a cover that faded to gray would still be waterproof and still be doing its job, but no fabric left in full sun for years keeps its color completely. APO warrants the cover against fading for two years. In practice a Maximus Prime pizza oven cover on a shaded patio looks new for far longer than that, and one on a bare south facing deck in the desert will gray on top first. Either way the oven under it is what stays new, which is the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat wears a Maximus Prime pizza oven cover out is not weather, it is handling: dragging the hem over a rough counter edge, catching it on the corner of a cart shelf, or pulling the cord so hard the channel tears.

What makes it the Bello rather than a generic cart is the pair of things on the sides: a slatted hardwood shelf on one end that folds out on steel brackets and folds down flat when you do not need it, and a steel rail on the opposite end for hanging the peel, the brush, and the turner where they are in reach but out of the way. The Maximus badge on the leg is APO's mark, not a sticker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not a table with an oven on top. The top of the Maximus Prime pizza oven stand is a frame with a square opening, as above, and the Prime's base plate drops into that opening and sits on the frame's inside lip. That matters more than it sounds, and it gets its own section next, but the short version is that the oven cannot slide on the cart. Roll the cart across a patio and the oven goes with it, square and centered, without straps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPO calls it a portable pizza oven stand, and that is the point of a Maximus Prime cart. The Prime is portable in the sense that no masonry is poured, but at 400 pounds it does not move again once it is on a block base. On the Bello it moves whenever you like: out from the wall to cook, back under the eave to cover, across to the far side of the deck when the wind turns. That is the case for the Maximus Prime pizza oven stand over a base, and for most Prime owners it is the deciding one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eThe Open Frame: How the Prime Seats\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mps-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-stand-bello-black-prime-studio.webp?v=1790189276\" alt=\"Black Maximus Prime seated in the Bello stand's top frame, studio view with the wood shelf extended and the lower shelf below\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at where the Black Prime meets the Maximus Prime pizza oven stand above. The oven's base plate is 39 inches square; the Bello's top frame is 101 centimeters, a shade under 40 inches, on the outside, with the opening inside it. The plate rests on the frame's inner ledge and the oven's weight is carried on four sides down four legs, not on a shelf in the middle. Nothing bolts; the 400 pounds of oven is what holds it, and a large pizza oven stand designed for that load does not need more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things follow from the frame. First, the Prime sits low on the Maximus Prime pizza oven stand, with the base plate roughly level with the top of the frame rather than stacked on top of it, which is why the whole rig looks like one piece of equipment rather than an oven perched on a table. Second, the underside of the oven is open to the air through the frame, so heat that reaches the base plate has somewhere to go instead of soaking into a deck. The cart's lower shelf sits 13 inches below the frame, well clear of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat open underside also decides how the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-cover\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eMaximus Prime cover\u003c\/a\u003e fits. Its drawstring hem drops below the base plate and cinches under the oven, between the plate and the frame, which is the tightest fit the cover has on any base. On a block counter the hem has to gather around the oven's foot instead. Cart plus cover is the combination APO designed together, and it shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eShelf, Rail, and the Lower Deck\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mps-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-stand-bello-front-wood-shelf-rail.webp?v=1790189102\" alt=\"Bello pizza oven stand straight on, wood side shelf extended to the left, utensil rail to the right, Maximus badge on the leg\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood shelf on the Bello folds out to 36 centimeters, about 14 inches, and that is the landing zone: the pizza comes off the peel onto a board there, the next one is built there, the ceramic dish waits there. It is hardwood slats on steel brackets, so a hot peel can rest on it and rain runs through it. Fold it down and the cart is 39 inches wide again for storage or for rolling through a gate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rail on the opposite side of the Maximus Prime pizza oven stand, at the right in the photo, is a plain steel bar with the ends turned up, and it holds hooks or hangs tools directly by their handle holes. Peel on the rail, brush on the rail, and the shelf stays clear for food. It also makes a decent handle for pushing the cart, which the flat sides of the frame do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lower deck of the Maximus Prime pizza oven stand is a full steel shelf, 50 centimeters, just under 20 inches, off the ground, with 13 inches of clearance under the top frame. It carries a night's wood in 8 to 10 inch splits, the ash holder, and the spare tile, and it is where the cover's storage bag and the stowed chimney live while you cook. Keep the wood at the back and the deck stays a work surface at the front. Nothing on it should sit against the underside of the oven, since that is where the frame vents heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eWheels, and Where a 500 Pound Cart Can Go\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mps-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-stand-bello-black-prime-hillside.webp?v=1790189184\" alt=\"Black Maximus Prime on the Bello stand outdoors with the wood side shelf out, pine hillside behind\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOven plus stand is about 495 pounds rolling, and this pizza oven cart with wheels carries it on four casters, at least two of them locking. On a hard, level surface, pavers, concrete, a composite deck, artificial turf laid on a base, one person moves the Maximus Prime pizza oven stand with the oven on it and the rail as a handle. The Black Prime above lives on asphalt at the edge of a pine hillside and rolls to the house when the weather turns. That is normal use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat a Maximus Prime pizza oven stand will not do is cross a lawn, gravel, or a lip taller than the caster. Five hundred pounds on four small wheels sinks into turf and stalls on stone, and the frame is not built to be dragged. Plan the Bello for the paved part of the yard, lock the casters before you light the oven, and never roll it with a fire in it or with the door off and coals on the floor. A cold oven rolls; a hot one stays where it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight and threshold matter when the Maximus Prime pizza oven stand goes indoors and out. At 35.6 inches to the frame and about 45 inches to the top of the chimney with the oven on, it clears a standard door but not the frame of most sliders with the chimney fitted, so lift the flue and cap off before the cart goes through a doorway into a garage or a covered porch. The chimney is off for the cover anyway, so most owners fall into the habit of stowing it on the lower deck whenever the oven moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eBlack Steel and the Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mps-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-stand-bello-red-prime-fence-front-angle.webp?v=1790189342\" alt=\"Red Maximus Prime on the Bello stand in front of a white slat fence, three quarter view with the wood shelf out\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maximus Prime pizza oven stand is welded steel, powder coated black, and made in Portugal alongside the oven. Powder coating is a dry finish baked onto the metal rather than a paint that dries on it, which the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/powdercoating.org\/page\/About\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003ePowder Coating Institute\u003c\/a\u003e describes as a tougher and more chip resistant film than liquid paint for exactly this kind of outdoor steel. In practice it means the frame shrugs off a dropped peel, a hot ash pan, and a wet winter, and it wipes clean with soapy water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo honest notes on a black steel Maximus Prime cart. A powder coat is tough but it is not armor; a deep scratch to bare metal on a stand that lives uncovered by the sea will show rust at the scratch, and touching it with an exterior enamel is a two minute job worth doing. And black steel in full sun gets hot to the touch by afternoon, so the wood shelf is where hands go, and the rail is where the tools hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the Red Prime above the black frame reads as a base and the oven does the talking, which is how APO intends it; on a Black Prime the two are one color and the rig looks like a single machine. Either way the Maximus Prime pizza oven stand is the only stand APO makes in this size, so the choice is the oven's color, not the cart's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eWorking Height\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maximus Prime pizza oven stand's frame is 35.6 inches high, the Prime's tile floor sits a few inches above its base plate, and the plate sits at the frame, so the cooking floor lands at roughly 38 to 40 inches on the Bello. That is where the Prime product page told buyers to aim for a block base, and it is no accident: it is peel height for most adults, high enough to see the back of a 35 inch floor without stooping and low enough to launch without lifting the elbow. A base lower than 30 inches means bending all night; taller than 40 hides the fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bello's shelf sits at the same height as the frame, so the board the pizza lands on is level with the oven mouth and the peel slides across rather than down.

The Mobile has its own cart, the Woody, at 27.5 inches. The two ovens share a body design but not a footprint, so each has its own stand and neither swaps.

The rod is 84 centimeters, 33 inches, and 1.5 centimeters thick, which is the diameter that does not bow under a six pound bird. The pan is 60 by 36 centimeters, 23.6 by 14.2 inches, with a turned up lip and a carry handle at each end. The rod rides 18.5 centimeters, 7.3 inches, above the pan floor on two triangular end supports, each 20 centimeters across the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut those numbers against the oven and the Maximus Prime rotisserie spit's roast envelope falls out. The Prime's false ceiling is 12.5 inches above the floor; the pan sits on the floor and the rod 7.3 inches above it, so there is about 5 inches from the rod to the ceiling and 7 from the rod to the pan. A roast up to roughly 10 inches across turns clear, and the rod carries about 20 inches of length between the supports: a five to six pound chicken, a duck, a pork loin, a rolled leg of lamb, or two chickens end to end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole Maximus Prime rotisserie spit is 14 inches wide and 7.3 inches tall at the supports, so it passes through the Prime's 20 by 11 inch mouth without tilting. The rod runs long at the handle end on purpose: with the frame all the way in, about 8 inches of rod and the handle sit outside the door where your hand is.

The forks stop a chicken spinning loose on the rod as the skin shrinks; tighten them once the bird is trussed and check them after the first quarter hour. The rod turns in an open notch at the top of each support, so it lifts out without tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maximus Prime rotisserie spit works with the Prime's door off. The Prime's door is a lift off plate rather than a hinged one, so there is no port for the rod to pass through and no way to turn the handle with the door in place. Take the door off, slide the frame in with the handle toward you, and cook through the open mouth with the coals at the back and one side, the way you would for pizza. The 12.5 inch ceiling holds enough heat over the roast that the open door does not cost you the cook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurning a Maximus Prime rotisserie spit is by hand, a quarter turn every few minutes, and that is a feature as much as a limit. There is no motor to run a cord to, nothing to fail at 400°C, and a wooden handle that stays cool because it is outside the oven. The rod itself is hot from the mouth inward, so the habit is glove on, handle only, and the roast comes to the table on the rod with the handle as the carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eWhere It Sits on the 35 Inch Floor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"mpr-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-rotisserie-spit-top-view.webp?v=1790190630\" alt=\"Maximus Prime rotisserie spit seen from above, the rod running the length of the drip pan between the two end supports with the handle at the bottom\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom above, the Maximus Prime rotisserie spit is a pan with a rod down its centerline, and it takes a 24 by 14 inch footprint on the floor. The Prime's floor is 35.4 inches square, so with the frame in and the handle toward the door there is 11 inches of floor at the back and, if you set the frame to one side, 20 inches beside it. That is the reason a large pizza oven rotisserie works in this oven and struggles in smaller ones: there is room for a proper fire next to the roast, not just coals under it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet the Maximus Prime rotisserie spit off center toward the cold side, build the fire at the back and the other side, and the roast turns in radiant heat from the flame while the pan keeps the drippings off the tiles. The pan matters for two reasons. It catches the fat that would otherwise smoke on the floor and flare against the bird, and it gives you the base of a gravy or a tray of potatoes: put quartered potatoes and onions in the pan under a chicken for the last 40 minutes and they roast in the drippings as the bird turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the Prime's floor tiles lift out, an owner who roasts often can lift the two tiles under the pan to check for grease after a season, but in practice the pan keeps the floor clean. Lift the frame out by the pan handles, not the rod, once the roast is off, and let it cool on the cart shelf before it goes anywhere near water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eCooking on the Prime Spit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Maximus Prime pizza oven rotisserie cooking the oven wants to be lower than pizza temperature. Let the dial fall to 250 to 300°C, 480 to 570°F, where the fire has settled to a steady flame over coals, and set the frame in. Our post on \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/pizza-oven-temperature\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003epizza oven temperature\u003c\/a\u003e explains what the dial is reading at each point. A five pound chicken takes 60 to 75 minutes at that heat with a quarter turn every five minutes, and it is done when the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a probe, not the clock. On a Maximus Prime rotisserie spit the surface browns early and the inside catches up later, so color tells you nothing about the thigh.

Pull the roast when all three are there, rest it on the rod for ten minutes, and carve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond chicken on the Maximus Prime rotisserie spit: a pork loin at the same heat takes about an hour to 145°F and a rest; a duck a little longer with the fat scored so it renders into the pan; a boned and rolled leg of lamb 75 to 90 minutes to medium. Two smaller chickens end to end on the rod feed eight and take no longer than one. Anything over about 10 inches across, a turkey, a whole shoulder, does not clear the ceiling, and that is what the Prime's ceramic dish and the tile floor are for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood side of the cook is the same as for pizza: dry hardwood in 8 to 10 inch splits, one or two on the coals at a time, fed every 15 to 20 minutes to hold the dial steady. The difference is patience. A Maximus Prime rotisserie spit is an hour of turning and tending with a drink in the other hand, and most owners say that is the point of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003ePrime Spit, Mobile Spit, and the Traditional Spit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPO makes three spits, and each is built for a different door; the Maximus Prime rotisserie spit is the largest.

Wash them by hand in hot soapy water once they are cool, dry them, and store the frame in the oven under the cover or on the cart's lower deck. The pan takes a scrub after a duck; the rod and forks wipe clean. Heat colors the stainless a straw tone near the fire end, which is normal. The wooden handle wants to stay out of the dishwasher and out of standing water; a wipe with a damp cloth is enough, and a rub of mineral oil once a season keeps it from drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore the Maximus Prime rotisserie spit dry.

The Prime's door is a lift off plate with no port for the rod, so the frame goes in with the handle out through the open mouth and stays that way for the cook. Keep the fire at the back and one side, the dial at 250 to 300°C, and turn a quarter every five minutes.

The rod sits 7.3 inches above the pan and the ceiling is 12.5 inches above the floor, so anything wider than about 10 inches touches the ceiling or the pan as it turns.

An outdoor kitchen run, a stone chimney breast, a brick wall with a wood store underneath, a stucco enclosure that matches the house. APO's finished ovens come with a cast stone or brick front that decides how the oven looks; the builders pizza oven, the custom builder pizza oven in APO's own catalog language, leaves that decision to the mason, the contractor, or the homeowner with a weekend and a pallet of veneer, at $400 less than the finished models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis page is written for that buyer, whether the search that brought them here was for a pizza oven insert for outdoor kitchen work, a bare dome to clad, or a custom pizza oven build from the footing up.

The ceramic dish, thermometer, and Ultra Fire kit ride inside the chamber. There is no arch, no cast stone, no brick veneer, and no cladding of any kind; the front is the same cement as the dome, finished flat enough to take mortar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is missing compared with the finished ovens is the facade and the Premium hardware. The Lisboa and Pizzaioli Premium models carry a cast aluminum door with a viewing window; the builders custom pizza oven ships with a plain iron door, a Dutch pair on the Lisboa dome and a single drop down plate on the Pizzaioli. Everything that cooks, the brick chamber, the tile floor, the dome shape, the insulation, and the flue, is identical. You are buying the oven and skipping the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat matters for how you treat a builders custom pizza oven on arrival. The dome is a fired masonry object, not a steel appliance. It comes crated on a pallet, it wants to stay dry from the day it lands, and it should be set on its base and cured before any cladding goes on, in that order. The sections below follow that order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eChoosing the Dome: Lisboa or Pizzaioli\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth builders custom pizza oven domes share the 39 inch square base plate and the same construction, and the difference between them is the one that matters for cooking: the height of the chamber and the door. Pick the dome by what you will cook, not by what you will clad, because the facade of a custom built pizza oven goes on either one the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"bcp-h3\"\u003eLisboa dome: tall chamber, Dutch door, rotisserie\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"bcp-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-builders-custom-lisboa-dome-in-crate.webp?v=1790196168\" alt=\"Builders custom Lisboa dome from Authentic Pizza Ovens as it arrives, bare white dome in its wooden crate with the chimney spout fitted and the arched door frame exposed\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lisboa dome stands 31 inches to the top of the spout with 19 inches of headroom inside over a 31 by 31 inch floor, and its door is 15.5 wide by 12 high, a split iron Dutch pair that opens left and right.

The lower ceiling throws heat back onto the floor faster, which is why APO calls the Pizzaioli its most Italian oven: a 90 second pizza with a wider mouth to work through. It does not take a rotisserie, and it does not need to. It is the dome for a pizzeria style build where the oven is there to make pizza and bread and the front is the design statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn price, weight, and the work of cladding them, the two builders custom pizza oven domes are the same. If the choice is still open after those two paragraphs, the tall dome is the more versatile oven and the low dome is the faster pizza oven, and that is the whole decision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eThe Base, the Footing, and the Lift\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwelve hundred pounds of builders custom pizza oven, plus whatever you put on the front, plus the counter it sits in, is a permanent structural load, and it is the first thing a builder prices. The oven above sits on a block base with a poured slab cap and rebar rising at the corners for the chimney breast that came later; that is the typical build. The base needs a level, non combustible top at least 39 by 39 inches, carrying the oven's weight to a footing sized for your soil and frost line, and it needs to be finished and cured before the oven arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight is a working decision on a builders custom pizza oven. The tile floor sits about 3 inches above the base plate, so a 32 to 36 inch base puts the floor between 35 and 39 inches, which is where a peel works without stooping. Under a roof or a pergola, plan the flue path before the base is poured: the spout is 5.5 inches, APO's 38 inch \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-chimney-extension\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003echimney extension\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-chimney-cap\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003echimney cap\u003c\/a\u003e are sold separately, and a chimney breast built around the spout needs its own clearance to anything combustible above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lift is the part first time builders underestimate. A builders custom pizza oven comes off the truck at the curb on a pallet; from there to a base it goes by forklift, by a skid steer with forks, by an engine hoist on a plate, or by a crane on a tight site. It does not go by four people and a plan. Have the machine on site the day the oven lands, set it on the base once, and do not move it again. APO's own customer video on this page shows a forklift doing exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eCladding the Front: Stone, Brick, Tile, or Stucco\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"bcp-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-builders-custom-pizzaioli-brick-outdoor-kitchen-build.webp?v=1790194970\" alt=\"Builders custom Pizzaioli dome clad by its owner in brick and cut stone with a sun tile, a brick chimney, a black iron door, and a wood store below, on a deck\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oven above is a builders custom pizza oven, the Pizzaioli dome, dressed by its owner in brick and cut stone with a sun tile over the mouth, a brick chimney breast built around the spout, and the iron door painted black; the wood store underneath is the base. The dome itself is invisible. That is what a custom built-in pizza oven is for, and it is why the copy on this page spends more time on the build than on the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCladding a builders custom pizza oven is masonry work on a heated substrate, and three rules from APO cover most of it. Cure the oven first: APO's instruction is to run the curing fires, use the oven for a few weeks, and treat hairline cracks with the included Ultra Fire kit before you paint, tile, or clad, so the dome has finished moving before the facade goes on. Use high heat materials: a refractory or polymer modified mortar and a high temperature adhesive for tile, never standard construction adhesive. And round the corners, APO's note on its own drawing: square edges crack first as the oven cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdhered stone veneer is the most common finish on a builders custom pizza oven, and it has its own body of practice. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cmha.org\/building-solutions\/manufactured-stone-veneer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eConcrete Masonry and Hardscapes Association\u003c\/a\u003e, which absorbed the Masonry Veneer Manufacturers Association, publishes the installation guide the trade works from: scratch coat, lath where the substrate needs it, mortar bed, and joints.

Do not seal the joint between the dome and the base so tightly that the oven cannot breathe as it heats; a compressible joint at the perimeter is standard practice. And keep the white dome above the facade uncovered, painted with high heat paint, or tiled, but never buried in a material that traps moisture against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eThe Iron Door\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe door on a builders custom pizza oven is iron, not the cast aluminum of the Premium models, and APO says plainly that it will rust if it is not treated, especially near water. Owners split two ways. Some paint it: a high heat exterior enamel in black, after the cure and before the facade, as on the brick build above. Some let it go and treat the patina as part of the look, which APO's own copy says many love. Either is fine; leaving it bare and unsealed in a coastal yard is the one that ends in a pitted door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe builders custom pizza oven door arrives with a factory finish that reads as a brass tone in the photos on this page; that is how it comes, not a choice the owners made. On the Lisboa dome the Dutch pair opens left and right and has a port at the bottom for the rotisserie rod; on the Pizzaioli the single plate drops down and has vent holes. Neither door has a viewing window. If a window matters, the Premium versions on the Lisboa and Pizzaioli pages have it, and they cost $400 more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8a1f12;font-weight:700;\"\u003eWhat Is in the Crate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"bcp-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/authentic-pizza-ovens-builders-custom-lisboa-inside-included-dish-thermometer-spit.webp?v=1790196638\" alt=\"Inside the builders custom Lisboa dome, fire brick walls and tile floor with the included ceramic dish and thermometer box packed beside a rotisserie spit\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the Lisboa dome of a builders custom pizza oven, above, wrapped on the tile floor for shipping: the 10 by 14.5 by 3 inch Portuguese ceramic baking dish, the 0 to 500°C thermometer in its box, and the Ultra Fire crack repair kit, with the chimney spout and damper fitted at the top of the dome.

The loaves above are baking on the falling heat after a pizza night, the way a brick oven is meant to be used twice from one fire.

Lead times are confirmed when you order, since APO builds in Portugal and stocks in Texas, and we tell you the honest date before your card is charged. As of APO's latest stock report, the Lisboa dome is stocked in Texas and ships on the normal schedule, while the Pizzaioli dome is built to order at about 12 weeks; ask us for the current date on either before you pour the base.

An unused, still crated oven can be returned within 14 days with return freight paid by the buyer, so we would rather answer the base, flue, and cladding questions before you order.

Every APO oven leaves the factory with a short stainless spout on the dome, and a short spout is fine in an open yard. Put the same oven under a covered patio, beside a wall, or under an eave, and the smoke leaves the spout, hits the cover, and rolls back down onto whoever is holding the peel. This pizza oven chimney extension lifts the outlet above that. It is a 5.5 inch diameter single wall stainless pipe with a male end and a female end, so it drops straight onto the oven's spout, takes APO's cap on top, and stacks with a second pipe if you need more height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes in two lengths on this page: 12 inch and 38 inch. The 38 inch is the one most brick oven owners want, because three feet is what it takes to get the outlet past a patio roof or a pergola beam, and it can be cut shorter if the spot calls for something in between. The 12 inch is for an oven in the open that wants a tidy stack tall enough to carry a cap, or for a low beam that leaves no room for more. Both are the same pipe, made for the same spout, and both fit every Authentic Pizza Ovens model on the brand's fit list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDraft is the second reason to buy a pizza oven flue extension. A wood fired oven pulls its air through the door and pushes it out the flue, and a taller flue pulls harder, so an extended stack lights easier, holds a cleaner fire, and clears the smoke out of the dome faster on the way up to temperature. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/burnwise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eEPA's Burn Wise program\u003c\/a\u003e puts it plainly: a hot, well drafted fire burns cleaner than a smoldering one, and it is the smoldering fire that puts smoke and creosote where you do not want them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pipe ships free with an oven on the same order. On its own it is a small parcel at the standard rate, about 4 pounds for the 38 inch and under 2 pounds for the 12 inch, no freight and no liftgate.

The chimney extension's female end drops over that spout and sits down on the collar. There are no screws, no sealant, no gasket, and no tools; the pipe stays put by fit and by its own weight, and the cap sits in the top of the pipe the same way. Setting it up is lifting the pipe on, then the cap, and it comes off just as easily when the oven is cold and the cover is going on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe damper stays where it is. It lives in the oven's spout below the extension, so a 38 inch chimney pipe on top does not change how you run it: open for lighting and for pizza, part closed to hold heat for bread and roasts with the door on. The pipe is single wall, which is right for an outdoor oven that is never connected to a house flue, and it runs hot enough near the base that you treat it like the oven: gloves on, nothing leaning against it, nothing combustible within reach of the outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pipe is plain stainless, 5.5 inches across, with the female end crimped to take the next piece. The 38 inch weighs about 4 pounds and the 12 inch under 2, so neither one loads the dome or needs a bracket. On a Maximus, the spout is on top of a steel body rather than a brick dome, and APO lists the same extension for it; if that is your oven, send us a photo of the spout before you order and we will confirm the fit on your unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ace-h2\"\u003eWhich Length\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"ace-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/apo-chimney-extension-12-inch-with-cap-pizzaioli-premium-covered-patio.webp?v=1790273000\" alt=\"12 inch chimney extension with spark screen cap on a Pizzaioli Premium pizza oven under a covered patio\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart with the obstruction. If the oven sits in the open, with nothing above it but sky, the 12 inch chimney pipe is enough: it gets the outlet a foot higher, lifts smoke over the head of whoever is at the door, and carries the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-chimney-cap\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ecap\u003c\/a\u003e that keeps rain out of the dome. That is the setup in the photo above, a Pizzaioli Premium under a high covered porch with the 12 inch and the cap, where the roof is far enough above the oven that a foot of pipe clears the cook and the beam does the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the oven sits under a patio roof, a pergola, or a canopy, or within a few feet of a wall or a house eave, the 38 inch chimney pipe is the one. Smoke that leaves a short spout under a cover has nowhere to go but sideways and down, and three feet of pipe is usually what it takes to put the outlet above the cover or past the edge of the eave so it can lift away. Measure from the top of the spout to the underside of the cover, add a few inches for the cap, and buy the length that gets past it. If 38 is too much, the 38 inch pipe cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut the plain male end, not the crimped female end, with a hacksaw, a metal blade in a jigsaw, or a cutoff wheel, and file the burr so the cap seats. The 12 inch is not meant to be cut. If you need something between 38 and 50 inches, a 12 inch on top of a 38 inch is the cleaner answer than cutting a second 38.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ace-h2\"\u003eStacking for Height\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"ace-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/apo-chimney-extension-tall-stack-brick-arch-oven-cart.webp?v=1790273187\" alt=\"Stainless chimney extension pipe and cap fitted on an Authentic Pizza Ovens brick arch oven on a steel cart\" width=\"800\" height=\"1066\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause every pizza oven chimney extension on this page has a male end and a female end, they stack. A 12 inch on a 38 inch is a 50 inch run; two 38 inch pipes are 76 inches; the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-chimney-cap\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ecap\u003c\/a\u003e fits the top of whichever pipe is last. The oven above runs a tall stack with the cap on it, and that is the picture of an oven that lives under trees and near a house and wants the smoke well clear of both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep a stacked run plumb and seat the joints fully. A tall stack that leans pulls air unevenly and can work loose in wind, and a joint that is not seated is where the smoke escapes on its way up. In a windy spot, or on any stack of two pipes, one stainless self tapping screw through the joint is cheap insurance; most owners never need it, but it costs nothing to add. Above about 6 feet of added pipe on a brick dome, ask us first. A very tall single wall stack outdoors can cool the flue gases enough to hurt the draw it was meant to improve, and there is usually a better answer, like moving the oven a foot out from the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNever extend into or connect to a house chimney, a range hood, or any other flue. This is an outdoor wood fired pizza oven chimney, open to the sky, and that is the only way it is designed to run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ace-h2\"\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStainless steel chimney pipe on a wood fired oven turns straw and blue near the base after the first few hot fires and settles to a dull grey over a season. That is heat tint, it is cosmetic, and it is not rust. If you want the polish back, a stainless cleaner and a soft cloth on a cold pipe will lift most of it; if you prefer the patina, leave it alone. Do not use a wire brush or steel wool, which scratch the surface and leave carbon steel particles that will rust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce or twice a season, lift the pizza oven chimney extension off and look inside. A hot fire leaves almost nothing; a run of low, smoky fires leaves a soft brown film that brushes out with a flue brush or a rag on a stick. Check the cap screen at the same time, since a screen that has clogged with ash is a screen that is choking the draw.

Buy the 38 inch when the oven lives under a covered patio, near an eave, or against a wall, because getting the outlet above the cover or past the wall is what stops smoke rolling back onto the cook. Most brick oven owners end up with the 38 inch. If you are not sure, measure from the top of the oven's stainless spout to the obstruction you want to clear and pick the length that gets past it.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 5px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"padding: 18px 20px; cursor: pointer; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; color: #2c3e50; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; transition: all 0.3s ease;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍕 Does it fit every Authentic Pizza Ovens model?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"pin-arrow\" style=\"font-size: 20px; transition: transform 0.3s ease;\"\u003e▼\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 20px; background: white; line-height: 1.6; color: #333;\"\u003eAuthentic Pizza Ovens lists this stainless steel chimney extension as fitting every oven they make.

Every pipe has a male end and a female end, so they stack. A 12 inch on a 38 inch gives a 50 inch run, two 38 inch pipes give 76 inches, and the cap fits the top of whichever pipe is last. Keep a stacked run plumb and let the joints seat fully; a tall stack that leans will pull air unevenly and can work loose in wind. Above about 6 feet of added pipe on a brick dome, ask us first, because a very tall single wall stack outdoors can cool the gases enough to hurt the draw it was meant to improve.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 5px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"padding: 18px 20px; cursor: pointer; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; color: #2c3e50; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; transition: all 0.3s ease;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍕 Can the 38 inch be cut shorter?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"pin-arrow\" style=\"font-size: 20px; transition: transform 0.3s ease;\"\u003e▼\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 20px; background: white; line-height: 1.6; color: #333;\"\u003eYes. The 38 inch pizza oven chimney pipe is single wall stainless and cuts with a fine tooth hacksaw, a metal cutting blade in a jigsaw, or a cutoff wheel. Cut the plain male end, not the crimped female end, so the fitted joint stays intact, and file the burr before it goes on. Measure twice; a pipe cut short for a pergola beam is a pipe you will buy again.

Authentic Pizza Ovens sells the stainless chimney cap, the one with the mesh spark screen, as a separate item at $95, and it is on its own page here. Fit a cap on any extended stack; it keeps rain out of the oven and the screen catches embers before they reach the roof.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 5px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"padding: 18px 20px; cursor: pointer; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; color: #2c3e50; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; transition: all 0.3s ease;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍕 How does it attach to the oven?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"pin-arrow\" style=\"font-size: 20px; transition: transform 0.3s ease;\"\u003e▼\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 20px; background: white; line-height: 1.6; color: #333;\"\u003eIt slips on. The female end of the pipe drops over the oven's stainless spout and seats on the collar, with no screws, sealant, or tools. Set the oven up on its base, drop the pipe on, then the cap on the pipe. Two things hold it: the fit and gravity. In a windy spot, or on a stack of two pipes, a single stainless self tapping screw through the joint is cheap insurance, but most owners never need one.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 5px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"padding: 18px 20px; cursor: pointer; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; color: #2c3e50; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; transition: all 0.3s ease;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍕 Will it discolor?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"pin-arrow\" style=\"font-size: 20px; transition: transform 0.3s ease;\"\u003e▼\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 20px; background: white; line-height: 1.6; color: #333;\"\u003eYes, and that is normal. Stainless steel chimney pipe turns straw and blue near the oven after the first few hot fires and settles to a dull grey over a season. It is cosmetic and it is not rust. If you want the mirror finish back, a stainless cleaner and a soft cloth on a cold pipe will lift most of it; if you like the patina, leave it. The chimney and cap lift off before the oven cover goes on, so the pipe is never trapped under a wet cover.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 5px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"padding: 18px 20px; cursor: pointer; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; color: #2c3e50; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; transition: all 0.3s ease;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍕 How does it ship?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"pin-arrow\" style=\"font-size: 20px; transition: transform 0.3s ease;\"\u003e▼\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 20px; background: white; line-height: 1.6; color: #333;\"\u003eThe chimney extension ships free with an oven on the same order from the brand's Texas warehouse.

Downward, it keeps rain out of the flue, which on a brick oven means keeping water out of the dome, the refractory floor, and the damper. Upward, its mesh spark screen keeps embers in, so the glowing flake that lifts off a fresh split of oak stays in the pipe instead of landing on a patio roof, a pergola, or the neighbor's shingles. It is a stainless cone on a stainless collar, 5.5 inches to match the oven's spout and the extension pipe, and it slips onto either one with no hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPO ships its ovens without a cap on the spout, and an uncapped brick oven in a summer of thunderstorms takes on more water than most owners expect. Wet refractory does not cook well, and a wet floor fired hard can crack. This pizza oven chimney cap is the piece that stops that, and it is the one accessory we would not run any APO dome without, roofed or not. It is sold on its own here; the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-chimney-extension\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e12 inch and 38 inch chimney extension\u003c\/a\u003e is on its own page, and either length takes this cap on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe screen matters as much as the cone once the oven lives near anything that can burn. Wood fired ovens throw sparks when a split collapses or when the door comes off a hot fire, and a screen is the difference between an ember that dies in the pipe and one that rides the draft out into the air. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ready.gov\/wildfires\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eReady.gov\u003c\/a\u003e lists a screened chimney as a basic ember defense for any wood burning appliance, and a covered patio is exactly where that advice applies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cap ships free with an oven on the same order.

Water that runs down an open flue lands on the floor tiles and soaks into the mortar at the back of the dome, and it does two things you will notice. The first is a slow start: a wet oven spends its first hour boiling water out of the brick instead of climbing to pizza heat. The second is worse: steam trapped in a saturated floor tile under a fast fire can lift the glaze or crack the tile, and a cracked floor is a repair, not a wipe down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pizza oven rain cap stops that at the top of the stack. The cone throws rain clear of the pipe, the screen below it lets the flue breathe, and the collar seals to the pipe well enough that wind driven rain does not find its way in. On the oven above, in an open outdoor kitchen with no roof, the cap is the only thing between an afternoon storm and the inside of the dome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cap stays on the stack in every season the oven is out.

A wood fire throws embers every time a split burns through and collapses, and a big draft carries them up the pipe. Without a screen they leave the top of the stack still glowing. With the screen they hit the mesh, lose the draft, and drop back or burn out in the cap. Under a porch roof, near a fence, under trees, or anywhere a dry lawn sits downwind, that is the difference the cap makes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe screen is fine enough to catch an ember and open enough that a hot fire pulls through it without noticing. What it will not do is work through a season of ash. A screen furred with grey fuzz is a screen that is throttling the draw, and it brushes clean in a minute with the cap off. Check it whenever you clean the oven, and always after a run of low, smoky fires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cone also breaks a downdraft. Wind that hits the top of an open pipe at the wrong angle pushes back down the flue and puts smoke out the door; the cone turns that wind sideways so the outlet keeps pulling.

It is a stainless rod grate, 15.7 by 12.6 inches, standing on its own 2.4 inch legs with a pull handle on one end. Set it over the ceramic dish that ships with every APO brick oven, slide it in beside the coals, and the drippings fall into the dish while the meat takes radiant heat from the dome above, the floor below, and the flame beside it. That three sided heat is the difference between a steak from a wood fired oven and a steak from a grill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAPO's own instructions for the pizza oven grill rack run to one line: place the rack over the ceramic dish or any oven safe pan to catch the drippings. That is all the setup there is for this bbq rack for pizza oven cooking. What the rack opens up is the rest of the evening after the pizzas come out. A brick dome that has done six pizzas is sitting at 300°C with a bed of coals, and that is a grill that needs no lighting, no lid, and no charcoal. Steak, burgers, sausage, chicken thighs, a whole fish, a tray of peppers on the grate, all on the heat the oven was already holding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood fired oven grill rack fits every Authentic Pizza Ovens model, brick or steel. It goes through the Lisboa's door end first, sits on the Pizzaioli floor with room around it, and clears the Maximus Mobile's 9.5 inch ceiling with 7 inches to spare over the grate. Cooking temperatures for meat are the same on a rack as anywhere else: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.foodsafety.gov\/print\/pdf\/node\/10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFoodSafety.gov\u003c\/a\u003e puts poultry at 165°F, ground meat at 160°F, and whole cuts of beef, pork and lamb at 145°F with a rest, and a probe thermometer is the only way to know a piece of meat over a wood fire is there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rack ships free with an oven on the same order. On its own it is a 7 pound parcel at the standard rate, no freight and no liftgate. It is stainless throughout, made in Portugal for Authentic Pizza Ovens, and it is the accessory most brick oven owners tell us they wish they had bought with the oven instead of a year later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of this page covers how the rack sits in the oven, running the fire for grilling, what to cook on it, the fit by oven, care, and buying it from Crustify.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"abr-h2\"\u003eHow It Sits in the Oven\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"abr-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/apo-bbq-grill-rack-in-brick-oven-open-door.webp?v=1790277768\" alt=\"Authentic Pizza Ovens BBQ grill rack standing on the floor of a wood fired brick pizza oven with the door open\" width=\"800\" height=\"611\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pizza oven grill grate stands on four wire legs bent from the same rod, so it never rests on the dish. The dish goes on the floor first, the rack straddles it with the legs outside the rim, and the food goes on top. The handle points at the door. The rack is 15.7 inches on the long side and 12.6 on the short, and it goes through the door of every APO brick dome on either side; on the Maximus Mobile it goes in on the narrow side through the 15.5 inch door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePosition is the whole technique. Rake the coals to the back and one side, and put the rack on the opposite side with the dish under it and a few inches of clear tile between the rack and the coals. Closer to the fire is a harder sear; further away is gentler. The dome radiates from above no matter where the rack sits, so the top of the food browns at the same time as the bottom, which is the part a grill cannot do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pull handle is the reason you can do that without gloves on the grate itself. Hook it, slide the rack toward the mouth to turn the food or check it, slide it back. With the door off and the fire to one side, the grill rack and the ceramic dish come in and out together as many times as the cook needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"abr-h2\"\u003eRunning the Fire for Grilling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"abr-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/apo-bbq-grill-rack-inside-maximus-oven.webp?v=1790277978\" alt=\"Authentic Pizza Ovens BBQ grill rack set on the floor inside a Maximus stainless pizza oven with the handle toward the door\" width=\"800\" height=\"601\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrilling in a pizza oven happens on retained heat, not on a pizza fire. Bring the oven up as usual, cook the pizzas, then let it fall back to about 250 to 350°C on the dial with a bed of coals and a small live flame. That window is where a steak sears without scorching and a chicken thigh cooks through before the skin burns. Feed one small split at a time if the flame dies; you want a low flame beside the rack, never one licking across it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the damper open and the door off while the rack is in, the same as for pizza. The draft pulls the smoke off the meat and up the flue, and the open mouth is how you see what is happening on the grate. If the oven is too hot for what you are cooking, pull the rack toward the mouth where the floor is cooler; if it is too cool, push it back toward the coals. Nothing on the rack needs a lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maximus ovens grill the same way at the same temperatures. The photo above is the rack on the floor of a Maximus with the handle toward the door. On the Mobile keep the rack to the side away from the fire, because the chamber is small and the flame is close; on the Prime there is room to set it a foot from the coals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"abr-h2\"\u003eWhat to Cook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteak is the first thing to put on the pizza oven grill rack, and a steak in a wood fired oven is the case for wood fired grilling in one bite. A one inch strip or ribeye, salted an hour ahead, takes 2 to 3 minutes a side with the rack a few inches from the coals, and the dome browns the top while the grate marks the bottom. Pull it at 125°F for medium rare and rest it five minutes on the side shelf. Two large steaks fit at once; cook in rounds for more, since the oven holds its heat between batches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBurgers take 3 to 4 minutes a side and drip more than anything else, which is why the dish is under the rack; ground meat goes to 160°F. Sausages take about 10 minutes turned twice, away from the flame so the casings do not split. A whole fish or two fillets, oiled and on the grate skin side down, take 4 to 6 minutes and do not need turning if the dome is doing its work. Chicken thighs, bone in and skin on, take 15 to 20 minutes turned once, to 165°F in the thickest part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVegetables are the cook nobody expects to be the best one: peppers, onions in thick rounds, zucchini planks, asparagus, and corn in the husk all take a wood fire on the grate in a few minutes a side.

The pizza oven grill rack stands on its own wire legs, 2.4 inches off the floor, so it straddles the ceramic dish that ships with every APO brick oven, or any oven safe pan, with the dish underneath to catch the drippings. It also stands straight on the floor tiles when you are grilling something dry like vegetables or bread. The rack never rests its weight on the dish.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 5px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"padding: 18px 20px; cursor: pointer; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; color: #2c3e50; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; transition: all 0.3s ease;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍕 Which ovens does it fit?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"pin-arrow\" style=\"font-size: 20px; transition: transform 0.3s ease;\"\u003e▼\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 20px; background: white; line-height: 1.6; color: #333;\"\u003eEvery Authentic Pizza Ovens model. The grate is 15.7 by 12.6 inches and 2.4 inches tall, so it goes through the door of the Lisboa, Pizzaioli, Ventura, Buena Ventura, Lume Alto and Builders Custom with room to spare, and it fits the Maximus Mobile and Maximus Prime as well: the Mobile's 15.5 by 9 inch door takes it on the narrow side, and at 2.4 inches tall there is still 7 inches over the grate under the Mobile's ceiling for a steak or a chicken thigh.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 5px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"padding: 18px 20px; cursor: pointer; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; color: #2c3e50; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; transition: all 0.3s ease;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍕 How hot should the oven be for grilling?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"pin-arrow\" style=\"font-size: 20px; transition: transform 0.3s ease;\"\u003e▼\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 20px; background: white; line-height: 1.6; color: #333;\"\u003eAbout 250 to 350°C on the dial, well below pizza heat, with the coals raked to one side and a small live flame. Set the rack on the opposite side from the coals for gentle radiant heat, or nearer the fire for a hard sear, and turn the food once. A one inch steak takes about 2 to 3 minutes a side this way; burgers 3 to 4; sausages about 10 turned twice; a fish fillet 4 to 6.

Fat that hits a hot tile smokes and flares, which is why APO tells you to set the rack over the ceramic dish or an oven safe pan. The drippings collect in the dish instead, and you can spoon them back over the food or pour them off for gravy. On a dry cook, vegetables, bread, or a well trimmed cut, the rack can sit straight on the floor.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 5px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"padding: 18px 20px; cursor: pointer; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; color: #2c3e50; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; transition: all 0.3s ease;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍕 Is it stainless steel?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"pin-arrow\" style=\"font-size: 20px; transition: transform 0.3s ease;\"\u003e▼\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 20px; background: white; line-height: 1.6; color: #333;\"\u003eYes. The grate, legs and pull handle are all stainless rod, welded, with no plating and nothing to flake into the food. It will take on heat tint after a few cooks near the fire, which is cosmetic and normal on stainless, and it cleans with a grill brush while hot and a soak when cold. Hand wash it; the dishwasher is not needed and the handle is long for most racks.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 5px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"padding: 18px 20px; cursor: pointer; background: #f8f9fa; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; color: #2c3e50; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; transition: all 0.3s ease;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍕 How big is the cooking surface?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"pin-arrow\" style=\"font-size: 20px; transition: transform 0.3s ease;\"\u003e▼\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 20px; background: white; line-height: 1.6; color: #333;\"\u003eAbout 156 square inches, which is 15.7 by 12.6 inches minus the edges.
