The open front is intentional during high-heat pizza sessions, where launching and retrieving pizzas in rapid succession makes a door impractical. But wood-fired cooking at its best is not limited to 90-second Neapolitan pizza runs. When you want to slow-roast a whole bird, cold-smoke proteins over a low wood fire, bake bread in a retained-heat environment, or simply hold cooking temperature steady across a long session without constant fire management, the absence of a door becomes a limitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FDP-DOOR is the HPC Fire solution to that limitation. It is a purpose-built stainless steel door manufactured specifically to fit the front opening of the Forno Series, Villa Series, and Di Napoli Series ovens with a precision fit that no aftermarket door can match. It closes the front of the oven completely, retains heat that would otherwise escape, creates the sealed environment that low-and-slow cooking requires, and gives you the ability to monitor internal temperature through an integrated analog thermometer without opening the door and dropping heat in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat thermometer is the functional centerpiece of the door. It reads the internal oven temperature continuously and displays it on the face of the door, which means you can walk up to your oven at any point during a cook, read the internal temperature at a glance, and walk away without disturbing the cooking environment. For smoking and slow roasting applications where temperature stability over hours matters more than peak heat, that continuous monitoring capability changes what the oven can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe door itself is built from 304 solid stainless steel throughout, the same grade used on the oven bodies it is designed to complement. That construction handles the thermal cycling of repeated high-temperature use without warping or degrading, and it weathers outdoor exposure season after season without the surface deterioration that lesser materials would show. The wooden handle on the face of the door stays cool to the touch even when the oven interior is running at full temperature, which matters during active cooking sessions where you may be opening and closing the door repeatedly to manage food across a long smoke or roast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward. The FDP-DOOR is custom fitted to the front opening dimensions of all three HPC Forno de Pizza oven series and seats securely without fasteners or modification. Fit the door, remove the door, fit the door again. It is a session-by-session tool rather than a permanent installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with the HPC Fire Forno Series FDP-FORNO freestanding oven, the Villa Series FDP-VILLA built-in oven, and the Di Napoli Series FDP-DINAPOLI ready-to-finish built-in oven. Sold separately from all three ovens. Strongly recommended for any owner who plans to use their HPC oven for smoking, roasting, or baking applications beyond pizza sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutdoor Pizza Oven Door Key Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurpose-built stainless steel oven door designed specifically for HPC Forno de Pizza ovens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Forno Series FDP-FORNO, Villa Series FDP-VILLA, and Di Napoli Series FDP-DINAPOLI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated analog thermometer displays internal oven temperature without opening the door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e304 solid stainless steel construction for durability and high-temperature performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCool-touch wooden handle for safe operation at full cooking temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeals the oven front for heat retention during smoking, roasting, and baking sessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom fit to the front opening of all three HPC Forno de Pizza oven series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo fasteners or modification required for installation and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for low-and-slow smoking applications requiring sustained temperature control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold separately from all HPC Forno de Pizza oven models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePizza Oven Door Specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e: FDP-DOOR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HPC Fire Inspired (Forno de Pizza)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21.5\" W x 12.25\" H x 4.25\" D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304 solid stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cool-touch wooden handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThermometer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Integrated analog temperature gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Forno Series (FDP-FORNO), Villa Series (FDP-VILLA), Di Napoli Series (FDP-DINAPOLI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation\u003c\/strong\u003e: No fasteners required, custom fit to oven front opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Use\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heat retention for smoking, roasting, baking, and slow cooking sessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold\u003c\/strong\u003e: Separately from all HPC Forno de Pizza oven models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions - FAQ's\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"faqs\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #c62828;\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2c3e50; margin-top: 0;\"\u003eYour Questions Answered Before You Buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FDP-DOOR is a straightforward accessory with a specific purpose that buyers tend to either understand immediately or underestimate until they try to use their HPC oven for something beyond pizza. The open front design of the Forno, Villa, and Di Napoli series works perfectly during high-heat pizza sessions where you are launching and retrieving every 90 seconds. It works significantly less well when you want to hold a steady 300°F for two hours while smoking a brisket or roasting a whole chicken, because heat escapes continuously from an open front and fire management becomes a constant job rather than an occasional one. The FDP-DOOR closes that front opening with a precision custom fit, seals in the heat, and gives you the analog thermometer reading you need to manage temperature without opening the door and losing everything you built. Buyers who have already purchased their HPC oven tend to arrive at this page with a small set of very specific questions. Does it fit all three oven series? Is it included with the oven at purchase? What do the dimensions look like in practice?

It is built into your outdoor kitchen counter, custom-fitted with its stainless steel flange, and it stays exactly where it was set. It does not get wheeled into a garage for winter.

Because the Villa sits flush in a counter rather than on a tall cart, its cover profile is fundamentally different from the Forno Series cover. The FDP-COVER-VILLA is a low-profile cover shaped to the Villa oven's countertop footprint rather than a tall cover designed to wrap a freestanding cart.

UV resistance prevents the surface fading and material breakdown that affects lesser covers after a single season in direct sun. Rain resistance keeps moisture away from the mosaic tile surface and the refractory dome below it between sessions. The Villa's glass mosaic tile exterior is a handcrafted feature that represents a significant portion of the oven's aesthetic and monetary value.

The Villa Series is a permanent built-in installation that stays in your outdoor kitchen year-round regardless of weather or season. It is not wheeled inside between sessions. It does not go into storage for winter. That means the mosaic tile surface, the refractory dome, and the front oven opening are exposed to UV, rain, humidity, and debris every day of the year whether you are cooking or not. The FDP-COVER-VILLA is designed for that reality, with a low-profile shape that fits the Villa's countertop footprint, built-in ventilation that prevents moisture buildup beneath the cover, and an elastic hem that holds it against the counter profile in wind without manual adjustment. Buyers typically arrive with four straightforward questions before purchasing.

A 16 inch cordierite stone sits on a motorized carousel and rotates under two burners, an infrared burner below the stone and a U shaped burner across the back, so every edge of the crust sees the same heat and the one thing that ruins most first pizzas, a missed turn, is designed out. The chamber reaches up to 950°F and is ready in about 12 minutes, a 16 inch pizza cooks in under 5, and the whole oven weighs 44 lb, runs on a 20 lb tank or a 1 lb cylinder, and lifts into a car.

Most entry ovens ask a beginner to learn launching, turning and timing on the same night, and turning is where the pizzas die; the Versa 16 takes that one off the list, and the infrared burner under the stone recharges the floor between pizzas so the fourth cooks like the first. This page covers the rotating stone and why it stays on, the two burners, propane and the natural gas kit, how it is built, where it can sit under Halo's own clearance rules, the first cook and the care, how it compares to the other gas ovens we sell, and the Halo accessories we list for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"hv-glance\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"hv-glance-title\"\u003eHalo Versa 16 at a glance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel HZ-1004-ANA; propane, 20 lb tank or 1 lb cylinder with both regulators in the box; Halo natural gas conversion kit sold separately\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeat: dual burners, 21,100 BTU total, 11,500 BTU infrared under the stone and 9,600 BTU U shaped back burner; up to 950°F, about 750°F on the stone; ready in about 12 minutes; 16 inch pizza in under 5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStone: 16 inch round cordierite, 1\/2 inch thick, double sided, on a motorized turntable; rotation runs the whole cook and pauses to launch and retrieve\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower: motor on the included AC adapter or two D batteries, about 36 hours a set; push button igniter on one AA; batteries not included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild: high temperature powder coated steel and 430 stainless; hinged hood with latching straps; hood gauge; 22.44 wide by 24.59 deep by 14.84 inches tall; 43.54 lb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace: outdoors on a level non combustible surface or Halo's cart; Halo's manual asks for 10 feet from any structure, combustible or gas cylinder and 25 feet from flammable liquids\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarranty: 5 years on the firebox, burners, stone, tray and knob; 1 year electrical and paint; US and Canada\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrice is shown above.

In a dome or a box oven the flame is at the back or along one wall, the crust nearest it cooks first, and the cook turns the pizza with a peel every 20 or 30 seconds to even it out; miss one turn and you get a black crescent on an otherwise good pizza. The Versa 16 does the turning in the oven. The 16 inch cordierite stone sits in a tray on a motor driven turntable and revolves under the burners for the whole bake, so the back burner's heat reaches every edge in turn and the infrared burner below keeps the floor even. Cordierite is the material because it holds heat and gives it straight into the base of the crust, which is where the leopard spotting and the crisp underside come from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"hv-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/halo-versa-16-rotating-pizza-stone.webp?v=1787182321\" alt=\"Halo Versa 16 diagram showing the 16 inch rotating pizza stone, dual burner system, hinged lid and quick disconnect propane fitting\" width=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe motor runs on the AC adapter in the box or on two D batteries, about 36 hours a set by Halo's figure, so it works at the tailgate as well as the patio. The stone is double sided; Halo suggests keeping one face for pizza and the other for everything else so the dough does not pick up last week's dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hv-h3\"\u003eWhy the rotation stays on\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"hv-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/halo-versa-16-hinged-lid-open.webp?v=1787737045\" alt=\"Halo Versa 16 pizza oven hinged lid open showing the rotating cordierite stone in its tray\" width=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rotation is not a convenience you can skip. The infrared burner heats the stone from one spot below, and a stone that sits still over it heats unevenly and can crack; Halo's manual says the turntable must be on while the oven preheats and warns against running the oven with it off. The button on the motor is a pause, and the manual tells you exactly when to use it: stop the stone to launch so the dough does not fold on a moving floor, start it again, stop it to pull the pizza. Rotation on for the preheat and the bake, paused for the two seconds a peel is in the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"hv-h2\"\u003eTwo Burners: Infrared Below, a U Burner Above\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"hv-img\" 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 the U shaped back burner, the infrared bottom burner and the rotating cordierite stone\" width=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHalo's dual burner system is rated at 21,100 BTU: an 11,500 BTU infrared burner under the stone tray that drives heat up through the cordierite into the crust, and a 9,600 BTU U shaped burner across the back of the chamber that does the cheese and the toppings from above. Together they bring the chamber to a rated 950°F with the stone around 750°F, in about 12 minutes from lighting, which is quicker to cooking ready than most of the full size ovens we sell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"hv-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/halo-versa-16-dual-burner-design.webp?v=1787738436\" alt=\"Dual burner design inside the Halo Versa 16 with the infrared bottom burner under the stone tray\" width=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe burner under the stone is the answer to pizza number four. A stone that coasts on stored heat loses some to every pizza and stalls by the third; a stone heated from below recovers in a couple of minutes while you stretch the next one, so a table of six gets fed at the same pace from first to last. Halo's routine for a cooler stone is the opposite trick: turn the knob to Low and wait ten minutes, and the floor drops gently to where a thicker crust or a pan wants it.

The 20 lb regulator is adjustable, 11 inches of water column for normal cooking and a 9.5 inch setting that takes the whole range down a notch for lower temperature work. At 21,100 BTU a 20 lb tank is roughly 20 hours at full output, and a real session uses less once the chamber is hot.

Two cautions from the dealer side: the infrared burner's gas line sits tight against the front of the oven and owners say the swap wants longer wrenches than the ones in the kit, and natural gas carries less energy per volume than propane, so owners who convert report a lower peak than the propane rating. If 950°F is the reason you are buying, cook on propane; if never running out of gas is the reason, the kit is the answer, and a licensed installer makes the connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"hv-h2\"\u003eHow It Is Built\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"hv-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/halo-versa-16-steel-construction.webp?v=1787737784\" alt=\"Halo Versa 16 high temperature powder coated steel and 430 stainless steel construction\" width=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is high temperature powder coated steel with 430 stainless on the wear surfaces, 43.54 lb assembled, on four legs that bolt on with eight M6 screws. The hood hinges open on the whole chamber for loading the stone, cleaning and anything that is not pizza, and it closes with a latching strap on each side; Halo's rule is lid closed and straps latched before lighting. A gauge in the hood reads the chamber. Below the stone tray a clean out tray catches what falls through, and it slides out. There is no chimney and nothing to cure: assembly is the legs, the knob, the motor on four screws, the clean out tray and the stone, about ten minutes with the hardware in the box, and then the first preheat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"hv-h2\"\u003eWhere It Sits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"hv-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/halo-versa-16-dimensions.webp?v=1787737982\" alt=\"Halo Versa 16 pizza oven dimensions 22.44 by 24.59 by 14.84 inches on an outdoor table\" width=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Versa 16 is a countertop oven, 22.44 inches wide, 24.59 deep and 14.84 tall, on a level surface that can take the heat: an outdoor kitchen counter, a solid table, or Halo's \u003ca href=\"\/products\/halo-countertop-cart\" style=\"color: #8b1a0a; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ecountertop cart\u003c\/a\u003e, which makes it freestanding and puts the tank and the peel in the drawer below.

Halo's manual states the clearances the way CSA writes them: never within 10 feet of any structure, combustible material or other gas cylinder, and never within 25 feet of flammable liquids. Halo's own photos show the oven on a balcony; our advice is to read that page of the manual before you plan the spot, and to send us a photo if you are unsure.

Then the routine: rotation on, cylinder open, knob to High, igniter, 12 minutes with the hood closed. Flour the peel, build the pizza on it, shake it to be sure it slides, pause the stone, launch, restart the stone, close the hood, and open it at four minutes to look rather than every thirty seconds. Pause the stone again to pull it. Thin crust at full heat is under five minutes; a thicker pie or a pan wants the Low and wait trick. Halo's cooling tip is worth knowing for a tailgate: open the hood all the way with gloves on and the shell is cool enough to carry in about 15 minutes, with the stone the part that stays hot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"hv-h2\"\u003eCooking and Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"hv-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/halo-versa-16-balcony-cooking.webp?v=1787738274\" alt=\"Cooking on the Halo Versa 16 pizza oven outdoors with the hood open\" width=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePast pizza, the hinged hood and the rotating stone make a small roasting oven: wings, a tray of vegetables, flatbread, a skillet that turns under the back burner and browns like a broiler. Halo's guidance is that cookware 12 inches and under with handles fits, that most of what you make in the kitchen oven you can make here in a fraction of the time, and that casseroles and bakes want two sheets of foil over the pan so the top burner does not scorch them.

A darkening stone is a stone working properly. Empty the clean out tray, wipe the inside of the hood, check the hose for cuts before each use, cover the burners with foil for storage, and store the oven indoors with the cylinder disconnected and left outside.

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. Buy it if your cooking spot moves with the sun, because the locking casters and onboard tank make relocation a one hand job. 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 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.

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: bold;\"\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: bold;\"\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: bold;\"\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: bold;\"\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: bold;\"\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: bold;\"\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: bold;\"\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.

The gas company keeps the oven fed indefinitely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Halo's own kit, engineered specifically for the Versa 16 (model HZ-1004-ANA) rather than a universal adapter pressed into service, and it ships as a complete conversion in one box, right down to the two wrenches the job needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eWhat the Kit Actually Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePropane and natural gas burn at different pressures, so a proper conversion is more than a new hose: the kit swaps the oven's fuel components for natural gas equivalents, then connects it to your line through a 10 foot low-pressure hose with a solid brass quick-connect. That quick disconnect is the everyday luxury here. The oven unclips from the wall outlet in a second for cleaning or winter storage, and clicks back on for pizza night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eBuilt Like Gas Hardware Should Be\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hose is premium low-pressure rubber rated for outdoor life, fitted with solid brass connections that shrug off weather, heat, and rust. Brass is the right answer for gas fittings that live on a patio year-round, and the 3\/8 inch quick-connect standard means the setup mates with the common household gas outlet format. Halo even includes the 19mm and 20mm wrenches, so the box is genuinely everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #8a1f12; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eThe Honest Temperature Note\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is the trade, stated plainly because Halo states it plainly: natural gas burns slightly cooler than propane, so expect oven temperatures in the 750 to 850 degree F range instead of the propane configuration's peak of up to 950. 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 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.

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.

First, the arch or facade material does not change the fit: a Rustic Arch Lisboa, a Premium Lisboa, and a Ventura wear the same Lisboa dome cover because the brick or cast stone is only around the door and the dome behind it is the same white shell. Second, the two dome covers are not interchangeable. The Lisboa cover on a Pizzaioli hangs loose and lets water pool on the low dome; the Pizzaioli cover on a Lisboa does not reach the base. Match the fit to the dome, not to the finish name. Third, every fit is cut for the dome as it leaves the factory. If you add stone, brick, or tile to a white dome yourself, the maker warns that the extra inches can keep the standard cover from fitting; measure the finished oven at its widest and tallest and ask through chat before you order, because the XL is often the right pick for a dome you have clad.\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 three 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: tall white dome takes the Lisboa fit, low white dome takes the Pizzaioli fit, stone or brick over the dome takes the XL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not the cover for the portable \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-mobile-pizza-oven\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eMaximus Mobile\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-portable-pizza-oven\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eMaximus Prime\u003c\/a\u003e. Those ovens sit on a steel stand and have their own covers cut to size.

Every fit is cut for the dome as it leaves the factory, so a white dome you have clad yourself in stone, brick, or tile may need the XL; measure it and ask before ordering.

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. The one case where no cover is needed is a Builders Custom that has been fully clad and enclosed with the flue capped; the maker confirms that meets the condition, provided water cannot reach the oven by any route.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCovers are oven specific and are not accepted for return, so the fit is confirmed before the order ships. Claims 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 three year warranty on every Authentic Pizza Ovens traditional oven excludes weather damage to an oven that was not kept under the maker's cover when not in use, in the same list of conditions as the five day cure and the installation guide.

The Lisboa cover on a Pizzaioli hangs loose and pools water on the low dome, and the Pizzaioli cover on a Lisboa does not reach the base. Stone Finish and Rustic on either dome take the XL, COVER120.

The three fits are cut for the dome as it leaves the factory, and the maker warns that stone, brick, or tile added to a white dome afterward can keep the standard cover from fitting; a few extra inches is all it takes. Measure the finished oven at its widest and tallest and ask through chat with a photo. The XL, at 43 by 43 by 39 inches, is often the right pick for a dome you have clad. A dome that is fully enclosed in a housing with the flue capped needs no cover at all; the maker treats a watertight enclosure as meeting the warranty condition.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\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 put the brick pizza oven cover on while the oven is still warm?\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;\"\u003eWait until the outside of the dome is cool to the touch, which is usually the next morning. A traditional dome holds heat for hours after the fire is out, and covering a warm shell traps moisture against the refractory and stresses the PVC backing.

Check your model and finish against the table on this page; every traditional oven is listed, the tall domes on the Lisboa fit and the low domes on the Pizzaioli fit whatever the facade.

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 41 inch 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. 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.

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. The fork holds the roast; the rod runs out through the door port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe meat is held by pronged spit forks that slide along the rod and lock against the roast from each side, so a whole bird does not spin loose on the rod as it cooks. 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 fits the taller dome ovens only, because those are the ones built with the rear cap and the door port. The Pizzaioli, Buena Ventura, and Lume Largo have the low dome with the wide mouth and a pull down door with no port. Their geometry is the better pure pizza shape, which is why a buyer who wants a rotisserie chooses the Lisboa dome. The finish makes no difference: a Rustic Lisboa, a Premium Lisboa, and the Lisboa Premium Hybrid take the same spit, as does a Builders Custom on the Lisboa body.\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, and the Lisboa Premium Hybrid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTaller dome, Dutch door with spit port, rear cap; the burner port does not affect it\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\u003eBuilders Custom, Lisboa body\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSame tall dome with the iron Dutch door and its port; the Pizzaioli body does not\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 Mobile, Maximus Prime\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePortable ovens use their own free standing spits: the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-mobile-rotisserie-spit\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eMaximus Mobile spit\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-prime-rotisserie-spit\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eMaximus Prime spit\u003c\/a\u003e\n\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 and the Lisboa Premium Hybrid; Ventura Sierra and Preto; Lume Alto Premium and Tudo; Builders Custom on the Lisboa body\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 and the Pizzaioli Premium Hybrid; Buena Ventura Sierra and Preto; Lume Largo Premium and Tudo; Builders Custom on the Pizzaioli body; Maximus Mobile and Maximus 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.

Spits are oven specific and are not accepted for return; a spit that arrives damaged is replaced through APO. Rust from being stored wet, and heat discoloration of the rod from normal use, are wear and not defects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the spit does not affect the three year warranty on the oven.

The rod runs out through a round port in the upper half of the cast aluminum Dutch door and the handle sits outside, so the door is closed for the whole cook and the dome holds its heat. You turn the handle from outside and check the meat with a probe through the door.

A brush and a shovel because a brick oven is managed with fire and ash, and both need moving between pizzas. The sizes below matter; a short peel in a 39 inch deep dome is a burned forearm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable class=\"stk-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width:30%;\"\u003eTool\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width:32%;\"\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width:38%;\"\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum pizza peel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 x 14 in blade, 14 gauge, 19 in wood handle (American Metalcraft)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLaunches and retrieves; the long handle reaches the back of a Lisboa or Pizzaioli floor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWooden pizza peel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 x 14 in blade, 8 in handle (Authentic Pizza Ovens)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuild and top the pizza on it; dough releases from wood; doubles as a serving board\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePizza turner and bubble popper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32 in, aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotates the pie a quarter turn at a time and pops the bubbles that would burn\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOven brush\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 in, wire bristles, wooden handle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSweeps ash and flour off the cooking floor before every launch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAsh shovel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 19.5 in overall, 9 in handle, steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMoves coals to the side and clears cold ash before the next fire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"stk-cards\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"stk-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAluminum pizza peel\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 x 14 in blade, 14 gauge, 19 in wood handle (American Metalcraft)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJob:\u003c\/strong\u003e Launches and retrieves; the long handle reaches the back of the floor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"stk-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWooden pizza peel\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 x 14 in blade, 8 in handle (Authentic Pizza Ovens)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJob:\u003c\/strong\u003e Build and top the pizza on it; dough releases from wood; serving board\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"stk-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePizza turner and bubble popper\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32 in, aluminum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJob:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rotates the pie a quarter turn at a time and pops bubbles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"stk-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOven brush\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27 in, wire bristles, wooden handle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJob:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweeps ash and flour off the floor before every launch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"stk-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAsh shovel\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 19.5 in overall, 9 in handle, steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJob:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moves coals to the side and clears cold ash\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"stk-h2\"\u003eHow the Pizza Oven Starter Kit Works on Pizza Night\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStretch the dough on the counter and move it to the wooden peel dusted with semolina, not flour. 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 kit has 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 Builders Custom domes in a masonry housing, the two Premium Hybrids, and the portable Maximus Mobile and Maximus 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 APO builds and are simply generous on the portables. The 12 by 14 inch peels are sized for the 12 inch pizzas those ovens cook two at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same wood fired pizza oven tools work in any brick or refractory oven with a floor you can reach, so the pizza oven starter kit is also a sensible first purchase with an HPC Fire or a Pinnacolo dome from the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/wood-fired\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003ewood fired pizza ovens\u003c\/a\u003e collection. What it is not is a pizza oven accessory pack for countertop gas ovens; a 32 inch turner in a 16 inch oven is comedy. For those, the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/accessories\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003epizza oven accessories\u003c\/a\u003e collection has shorter peels and turners matched to the smaller ovens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"stk-h2\"\u003ePizza Oven Starter Kit Care: Wood, Aluminum, and Wire\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wooden peel never sees the sink. 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.

Lift the chimney cap off, drop this all weather pizza oven cover over the oven, cinch the cord, and the oven is protected from rain, snow, ice, sun, leaves, and whatever else lands on a patio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason APO puts a cover in the warranty is the cast stone front. The University of Pennsylvania's \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/acl.design.upenn.edu\/object\/re0016-05\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eArchitectural Conservation Laboratory\u003c\/a\u003e describes how freeze thaw damage in cast stone works: water soaks into the pores, freezes, expands by about nine percent, and cracks and spalls the surface a little more with every cycle. The stone face on a Maximus Mobile, the refractory tiles on its floor, and the ceramic dish that lives inside it are all porous. A Maximus pizza oven cover keeps them dry, and dry stone does not freeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover rides free on the same delivery when it is on an order with an oven, since the oven clears our $750 free shipping threshold on its own. On its own it ships as a 2 pound parcel at the standard rate, no freight, no liftgate, and like every oven specific accessory it is not returnable, so match it to the oven before checkout. Every Maximus Mobile buyer should order the Maximus pizza oven cover with the oven, and the two reviews on APO's site say the same thing: fits snug, nothing flaps, and the only regret was not buying it with the oven the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of this page covers what the Maximus pizza oven cover fits and what it does not, why the warranty needs it, how to put it on and take it off, using it for transport, and which of APO's five covers goes with which oven, so nobody orders the wrong one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mmc-glance\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mmc-glance-title\"\u003eMaximus Mobile cover at a glance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits the Maximus Mobile only, Black, Red, or Orange, with the chimney cap lifted off; 30 by 38.5 by 30 inches, chimney sleeve, drawstring hem, PVC backed polyester, logo patch, zip bag\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRequired by the Mobile's three year warranty whenever the oven is not in use; two year cover warranty, fading excluded\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoes not fit the Maximus Prime or any brick dome; not returnable, so match the oven before checkout\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree on the oven's delivery when ordered together; 2 pound parcel at the standard rate alone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mmc-h2\"\u003eWhat the Maximus Mobile Cover Fits\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-on-oven-apo-stand.webp?v=1790108343\" alt=\"Maximus Mobile pizza oven cover fitted over the oven on the Authentic Pizza Ovens stand, chimney sleeve on top and the APO logo patch on the front\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Authentic Pizza Ovens Maximus cover fits the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/authentic-pizza-ovens-maximus-mobile-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMaximus Mobile pizza oven\u003c\/a\u003e in every color, Black, Red, and the Orange while supplies last, and nothing else.

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.

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.

It can, because this spit does not hang from the walls. It is a stainless frame that stands on the oven floor, a 19.7 by 11.8 inch drip pan with a triangular support at each end, and a 28.9 inch rod that rides 5.5 inches above the pan on those supports. Two forks pin the meat, a turned handle sits outside the mouth, and you turn it by hand while the drippings collect underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the rod sits low, there is room over it for a roast up to about 8 inches across under the false ceiling, which is a 3 to 4 pound chicken, a duck, a pork loin, a boned and rolled lamb shoulder, or a row of kebabs. Cooked this way the meat browns on all sides from the flame beside it, self bastes as it turns, and never sits in its own fat. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one rule the Maximus rotisserie spit does not change is the thermometer: \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 and pork or lamb roasts at 145°F with a rest, and a probe is the only way to know a spit roast is there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maximus rotisserie spit rides free on the same delivery when it is ordered with the oven, since the Maximus Mobile clears our $750 free shipping threshold on its own.

The pan is 11.8 inches wide and about 6 inches tall to the top of the supports, so it clears the door with room to spare, and it sits on the tile floor with the far end of the pan near the back wall and the handle end of the rod poking out of the mouth. The chamber is 23.5 inches deep and the pan is 19.7, which leaves a few inches at the back for the coals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rod is 28.9 inches long and 0.6 inches thick, so with the pan pushed to the back the handle sits about 9 inches proud of the door. That is by design: you turn the Maximus rotisserie spit from outside the oven, by hand, a quarter turn every few minutes, without reaching into the heat. The door stays off while it runs, which is how 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 cooks pizza too, so the fire is used to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRod height is the number that makes the whole thing work.

Everything that renders off a chicken lands in it instead of on the tiles, which keeps the floor clean for tomorrow's pizza and gives you a pan of drippings for gravy, for basting, or for a tray of potatoes tucked into the pan under the bird for the last half hour. The two carry handles at the ends let you lift the whole Maximus rotisserie spit out with the roast still on it and rest it on the side shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChicken is the first thing to cook on the Maximus rotisserie spit. Truss a 3 to 4 pound bird tight, run the rod through it end to end, and pin it between the two forks with the wing nuts snug so it turns with the rod rather than around it. Salt the skin an hour ahead, and it will take about 60 to 75 minutes with the oven around 250 to 300°C and the coals to one side, turning a quarter turn every four or five minutes. Pull it at 165°F in the thigh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter that, the Maximus rotisserie spit takes anything that fits the 8 inch envelope and the 19 inch pan: a duck, which drips more than anything and is why the pan exists; a pork loin or a boned shoulder rolled and tied; a leg of lamb boned and rolled; a row of kebabs on the rod between the forks; pineapple for the end of the night.

A wood fired rotisserie roast wants 250 to 300°C on the dial and a bed of coals with a small live flame, not a pizza fire. Rake the coals to the back and to one side, set the Maximus rotisserie spit on the floor with the pan against the other side and the far end of the pan short of the coals, and feed one small split at a time to keep a flame licking along the side of the roast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn the Maximus rotisserie spit by hand, a quarter turn every few minutes, from the handle outside the mouth. There is no motor and no battery, and on a chamber this size none is needed; the fire is inches from the meat and the pan is doing the basting. Wear a glove for the handle, which is wood but sits close to the mouth. Keep the door off and the damper open, and if the skin is coloring faster than the inside is cooking, push the coals further back and let the flame die to embers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the probe says done, lift the whole frame out by the pan handles, rest the roast on the rod over the pan for ten minutes so it drips where you want it, then loosen the wing nuts and slide it off.

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. If a cover arrives without the Prime label, it is not this cover, and we would rather you check the label at delivery than find out the size is wrong at the first fitting.

Pull the cord, press the lock, and the hem closes under the base plate on a cart or around the base of the oven on a counter. 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. The cord lock is the only hard part on the Maximus Prime pizza oven cover, and it is a spare parts item on any camping cord if it is ever lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe habit that makes the cover last is a simple one: cover a cold oven. 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.

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.

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. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.fsis.usda.gov\/food-safety\/safe-food-handling-and-preparation\/food-safety-basics\/kitchen-thermometers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color:#8B1A0A;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eUSDA FSIS food thermometer guidance\u003c\/a\u003e is to check a whole bird in three places, the innermost thigh, the innermost wing, and the thickest part of the breast, and to read the lowest of them. 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.

The Prime spit's frame is 14 inches wide and passes a 20 inch door; the Mobile's door is 15.5 inches and its ceiling 9.5, so the frame does not go in and the rod would not clear. The Mobile spit fits the Prime's floor but its 73.5 cm rod is too short to bring the handle outside the Prime's deeper mouth.

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 12.5 inch ceiling holds heat over the roast with the mouth open, so an hour's cook does not need the door.\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 a roast fits?\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 10 inches across and 20 inches long. 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.

Every APO brick oven leaves the factory with a short stainless spout, fine in an open yard. Put the same oven under a covered patio or an eave and the smoke 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 single wall stainless pipe with a male end and a female end: it drops onto the spout, takes APO's cap, and stacks with a second pipe for more height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes in two lengths on this page: 12 inch and 36 inch. The 36 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are the same pipe, made for the same spout, and both fit every Authentic Pizza Ovens brick dome, the two Premium Hybrids and the Builders Custom included. They do not fit the Maximus Mobile or Maximus Prime, which ship with their own complete chimney.\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 36 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 36 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 36 inch weighs about 4 pounds and the 12 inch under 2, so neither one loads the dome or needs a bracket. The Maximus Mobile and Maximus Prime are a different case: each ships with its own stainless chimney and cap sized to the steel body, and APO makes no extension for them, so this pipe is for the brick domes only.\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 36 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 usually puts the outlet above the cover or past 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 36 is too much, the 36 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 36 and 48 inches, a 12 inch on top of a 36 inch is the cleaner answer than cutting a second 36.\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 36 inch is a 48 inch run; two 36 inch pipes are 72 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: an oven under trees and near a house that wants the smoke 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. 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, and moving the oven a foot out from the wall is often the better answer.\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. The chimney and cap come off before the oven cover goes on, every time, so the pipe never sits trapped under a wet cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ace-h2\"\u003eWhich Ovens It Fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"ace-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/apo-chimney-extension-lisboa-premium-steel-stand.webp?v=1790273227\" alt=\"Lisboa Premium pizza oven with a stainless chimney extension pipe on a steel stand in a garden\" width=\"800\" height=\"784\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chimney extension fits every brick dome Authentic Pizza Ovens makes.

Buy the 36 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 36 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;\"\u003eIt fits every brick dome Authentic Pizza Ovens makes.

Every pipe has a male end and a female end, so they stack. A 12 inch on a 36 inch gives a 48 inch run, two 36 inch pipes give 72 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 36 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 36 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.

Authentic Pizza Ovens sells the stainless chimney cap, the one with the mesh spark screen, as a separate item, and it is on its own page here.

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.

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 brick 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 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. On a covered patio, where wind eddies under the roof, that is worth as much as the screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"acc-h2\"\u003eHow It Seats\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pizza oven chimney cap's collar is the same 5.5 inch slip fit as the extension pipe. It drops over the oven's factory spout, or over the top of a 12 inch or 38 inch extension, and sits on the crimp. No screws, no sealant, no gasket, no tools. It weighs about 5 pounds, which is enough to hold it in a breeze, and in a windy spot one stainless self tapping screw through the collar into the pipe is cheap insurance that most owners never need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn an oven in the open, the cap goes straight on the spout or on the 12 inch; on an oven under a cover, it goes on the 38 inch.

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 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 what separates a wood fired steak from a grilled one.\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. 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 5 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\u003cdiv class=\"abr-glance\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"abr-glance-title\"\u003eBBQ grill rack at a glance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStainless rod grate, 15.7 by 12.6 inches on 2.4 inch legs with a 5.9 inch pull handle, about 156 square inches; stands over the ceramic dish that ships with every APO oven, or straight on the floor for dry cooks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits every APO model, brick domes, Premium Hybrids, Builders Custom, Maximus Mobile and Prime; grills on retained heat at 250 to 350°C after the pizzas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree on the oven's delivery when ordered together; 5 pound parcel at the rate shown at checkout alone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\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. Bread on the rack, brushed with oil, is grilled in a minute. For a dry cook like these the rack can stand straight on the floor with no dish under it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"abr-h2\"\u003eWhich Ovens It Fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthentic Pizza Ovens lists the BBQ rack for every oven they make, and every one of them ships with the ceramic dish it sits over.

It is $495, sold separately, and the oven is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact ovens exist for the small spaces a bigger oven will not fit, and the compact oven cart is sized the same way. Its 28 by 24 inch footprint is smaller than a bistro table, it puts the oven at working height without a masonry base, and it gives the propane tank the one place it belongs under a compact oven: on the bottom shelf, in the open, inside the frame. A compact on this cart is a complete outdoor pizza station on a townhome patio, a deck or a driveway, and it rolls back under the eave when the night is over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to say up front. This cart is for the three compacts only. ItaliaForno has confirmed to us in writing that it does not support the Famiglia, and the brand is withdrawing the older photos that showed a Famiglia on it. A Famiglia takes the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-grande-pro-duo-oven-cart\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eGrande Pro Duo cart\u003c\/a\u003e, which ItaliaForno has confirmed for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis page covers what the compact oven cart is, which ovens it takes, the top and the two shelves, the wheels and where 125 pounds can go, the balcony question, assembly, working height, stainless care, how it differs from the Grande Pro Duo cart, and buying it from Crustify. The spec table, ItaliaForno's dimension card, the assembly guide and the setup video follow the description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"cpc-h2\"\u003eWhat the Compact Oven Cart Is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"cpc-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/italiaforno-compact-oven-cart-dimensions.webp?v=1790357061\" alt=\"ItaliaForno compact oven cart dimensions card, 28 in wide, 24 in deep, 37 in tall, with the compact oven specifications\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrip it back and the compact oven cart is a bolt together stainless frame: four square section legs, a solid top panel, a middle shelf, a bottom shelf and a wheel plate at the foot of each leg. It is the same build as the Grande Pro Duo cart at three quarters the width and half the weight, and it shares the same assembly guide. There is no open frame the oven drops into; a compact stands on its own feet on the flat top, the same way it would on a counter, and its 100 pounds holds it there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItaliaForno's page and its dimension card agree on this one: 28 inches wide, 24 deep, 37 to the top of the cart. Against the compacts' 21.7 by 22.4 inch body that leaves three inches of top on each side and an inch front to back, so the oven sits inside the top with no overhang and room beside it for the peel to rest. ItaliaForno calls the finish scratch resistant and the base non slip, and its feature card says stainless steel construction and weather resistant build; the stainless matches the compacts' front plates and chimneys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stamp on the front rail is part of the cart, as it is on the Grande Pro Duo cart. The shipping stickers are not, and the assembly guide is careful to say they come off before the first bolt goes in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"cpc-h2\"\u003eWhich Ovens It Takes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"cpc-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/italiaforno-compact-oven-cart-top-view.webp?v=1790357323\" alt=\"ItaliaForno compact oven cart from above, showing the solid stainless top panel the compact ovens stand on\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three compacts are one oven in three shapes, the same 21.7 by 22.4 inch footprint and 100 pounds under a rounded, an octagonal or a five sided dome, so the compact oven cart fits all three the same way. The Allegro, the Bambino and the Fornello each land at about 125 pounds on the cart and put the chimney cap at about 80 inches, which is the number to check against a pergola beam or a balcony overhang before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-famiglia-gas-pizza-oven\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFamiglia\u003c\/a\u003e does not go on this cart. It is 30 inches wide by 25.2 deep and 122 pounds, which would overhang a 28 by 24 inch top on every side, and ItaliaForno has told us plainly that the compact cart cannot support it. Older ItaliaForno photos showed a Famiglia on this cart; the brand is removing them. The Famiglia takes the Grande Pro Duo cart, with a 38.5 inch top that carries it with room to spare, and that is the cart to add to a Famiglia order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Grande Pro Duo does not fit either, and is not close; at 42 by 38.5 inches and 420 pounds it has its own \u003ca href=\"\/products\/italiaforno-grande-pro-duo-oven-cart\" style=\"color: #8B1A0A; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eGrande Pro Duo cart\u003c\/a\u003e, and the two are compared at the end of this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"cpc-h2\"\u003eThe Top, the Two Shelves and the Propane Tank\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"cpc-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/italiaforno-compact-oven-cart-allegro-propane-tank.webp?v=1790357236\" alt=\"ItaliaForno Allegro on the compact oven cart with a 20 lb propane tank on the bottom shelf, oven sold separately\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top carries the oven and, with the three inches to spare on each side, the peel or the thermometer while you cook. The oven's clearances start at its own body, 8 inches to any wall on all sides, 20 inches each side of the chimney and 40 inches above it, so set the compact oven cart where those hold with the oven on it rather than where the bare cart fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottom shelf is the tank shelf, and ItaliaForno's photo above settles it: a standard 20 pound propane cylinder standing on the bottom shelf under an Allegro, with room beside it. Reading the dimension card against the cart's 37 inches, the bottom shelf has roughly 22 inches of clearance and the middle shelf roughly 9, our estimates from the picture rather than a published figure, which is why the tank lives below and not in the middle. The oven's manual caps a cylinder stored under a cart at 20 pounds with ventilation, and an open stainless frame is exactly that; never a larger tank under the oven. The compacts' gas inlet is at the rear, the manual allows a hose from 24 to 60 inches, and a tank on the bottom shelf reaches it with slack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compacts are propane only. ItaliaForno shows split wood on the bottom shelf in one of its photos, and on a Grande Pro Duo that is a real use, but these three ovens do not burn wood and burning it voids their warranty, so on the compact oven cart the bottom shelf is the tank and a tray of tools. The middle shelf, with its shorter clearance, is the working shelf: a board for the next pizza, the pans, the oil, the cutter, the peel laid flat between launches. Keep it as a work surface and the top of the oven stays clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"cpc-h2\"\u003eWheels, and Where 125 Pounds Can Go\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItaliaForno's assembly guide starts with the wheels: one bolts to the flat plate under each leg with four screws, washers and nuts, before the legs go on the bottom shelf. The studio photos show the cart standing on its bare plates, so if yours arrives looking like the picture, the wheels are in the hardware bag, not missing. ItaliaForno has confirmed the wheels are in the box and that they lock. Set the locks before the oven goes on and before every fire; a cart that cannot roll is the whole point of a lock on a 125 pound rig with a propane tank underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOven and cart together are about 125 pounds, which is where the compact oven cart earns its keep over the Grande Pro Duo's: one person rolls it across pavers, concrete, a composite deck or turf on a firm base, and two people can lift the whole rig, oven and all, over a lip or up a single step with the oven cold. It will not roll across a lawn or gravel, and the frame is not built to be dragged. Plan it for the paved part of the yard and lift it where it has to cross.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold oven only. A compact is moved with the chimney, the door and the floor tiles out, the gas disconnected and the tank off the shelf, whether it is being lifted onto the cart or rolled across the patio on it. Never move it with the burner lit, and lift the chimney and cap off before the cart goes through a gate or a doorway; with the oven on, the rig is close to seven feet to the top of the chimney.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"cpc-h2\"\u003eBalconies, Small Patios and the Propane Question\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"cpc-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/italiaforno-compact-oven-cart-bambino-balcony.webp?v=1790357146\" alt=\"ItaliaForno Bambino on the compact oven cart on a high rise balcony with a pizza on the middle shelf, oven sold separately\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItaliaForno photographs the Bambino on this cart on a high rise balcony, and the compact oven cart is sized for exactly that: a 28 by 24 inch footprint on a balcony six feet deep leaves room to stand in front of it, and the 37 inch height keeps the oven mouth above the rail rather than blowing smoke through it. On a townhome patio or a small deck it is the same story with more room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the photo does not show is the fire code. The oven's manual requires open air with 40 inches clear above the chimney, which rules out a covered balcony, and many apartment buildings, condominium associations and HOAs prohibit or limit propane cylinders on balconies regardless of what the oven allows. Those rules vary by building and by city, and they are not something a product page can settle. Check your lease or your association's rules before you order, and if the answer is a hard no on propane, a compact on this cart on a ground level patio is the same oven with none of the argument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"cpc-h2\"\u003eWorking Height and the Tool Shelf\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA compact's refractory floor sits a few inches above the base of the oven, so on the 37 inch compact oven cart the cooking floor lands at roughly 40 inches off the ground. That is peel height for most adults: high enough to see the back of the 15.7 inch floor without stooping, low enough to launch without lifting the elbow. It is the height we tell compact buyers to aim for on a table or a counter, and on the cart it comes built in. On the Bambino and the Fornello the chimney cap tops out at about 81 inches; on the Allegro about 80.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe middle shelf is the reason the cart beats a table on a busy night. With a board on it the next pizza is built at waist height beside the oven, the peel rests there between launches, the oil and the cutter are in reach, and nothing sits on the ground. ItaliaForno's own pictures show it exactly that way, a pizza on the peel on the middle shelf and the pans below. Keep hot pans on a board rather than straight on the stainless and the shelf stays clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"cpc-h2\"\u003eAssembly: Bolts, Wheels and Stickers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cart ships flat and goes together with the hardware in the box: four wheels at four screws, washers and nuts each, then the four legs to the bottom shelf on eight flat head bolts, the middle shelf on eight more, and the top on eight more, each with a washer and a nut on the far side. Twenty four bolts and the wheel hardware; a wrench and a screwdriver do it, and the guide's own order is wheels, legs, middle shelf, top, tightened once every bolt in a stage is in. It is the same guide and the same sequence as the Grande Pro Duo cart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItaliaForno's first instruction is to peel every sticker off the panels before anything is assembled, and it is right: they come off a flat panel in a minute and off a built cart in an hour. Set the cart where the oven will live before the oven goes on it. At 25 pounds it moves alone by hand; with the oven on it rolls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oven itself is a one person lift for a strong back and a comfortable two person lift for everyone else, by the base, with the chimney, door and tiles out. Center it on the top, then fit the tiles, the chimney and the door and connect the gas. The setup video in the installation section shows the whole sequence on the cart, from the tiles going in to the first light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"cpc-h2\"\u003eStainless Steel Outdoors: Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStainless is why ItaliaForno makes the cart in the same material as the ovens' trim: it lives outdoors uncovered, wet season included, without a coating to chip. A wipe with soapy water or a stainless cleaner keeps it bright; the ovens' own advice, a thin film of food grade oil or petroleum jelly on the steel after cleaning, works on the cart as well and is worth doing near salt air. Heat discoloration on the top panel under the oven is normal and cosmetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cart itself does not need a cover. The oven does, as a condition of its warranty, and a cover sized for a compact drops over the body on the cart and gathers under the base, with the chimney off and stowed on the bottom shelf. ItaliaForno does not list its own cover yet; we will point you to one that fits when you order the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"cpc-h2\"\u003eWhich ItaliaForno Cart\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItaliaForno makes two carts for its five ovens, and they are not interchangeable.

Ordered with the oven it travels with the oven's freight at no charge, curbside, and the driver lowers the pallet to your driveway.

Point it, pull the trigger, read the number. It measures from -58°F to 752°F with a 12 to 1 spot ratio, a laser pointer, a backlit display, data hold and auto power off, runs on two AAA batteries that come in the pack, weighs about 6 ounces, and costs $49.95.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe number to understand before you buy is 752°F, because it is the top of the range and ItaliaForno's ovens go past it. The ovens reach 1,000°F and ItaliaForno's recommended cooking ceiling is 850°F, so on a floor that has been soaking heat for a Neapolitan pizza at 800°F and up, this thermometer shows an over range reading rather than a number. Where it earns its place is everything below that line: watching the preheat climb, confirming a New York style floor at 600 to 650°F, checking a roasting oven at 450, reading a griddle, a stone or a cast iron pan. For a floor above 752°F you need a higher range gun, and we carry one; that is covered further down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis page covers what the ItaliaForno infrared thermometer is, how to read an oven floor with it and why the spot ratio and emissivity matter, what its range covers on each ItaliaForno oven, what to do above 752°F, batteries and care, how it compares with the oven's own dial and a higher range gun, and buying it from Crustify. The spec table follows the description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ift-h2\"\u003eWhat the ItaliaForno Infrared Thermometer Is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"ift-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/italiaforno-infrared-thermometer.webp?v=1790358135\" alt=\"ItaliaForno infrared laser thermometer in its retail pack with the feature list and two AAA batteries\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a pistol grip infrared thermometer in orange and black: a lens in the nose, a trigger, a backlit LCD on the back of the head, and two buttons under the display for the laser and the backlight and the °C to °F switch. Pull the trigger and it reads the surface it is pointed at in under a second, holds the last reading on the screen when you let go, and switches itself off after a few seconds idle to save the batteries. The laser is a pointer, not the measuring beam; it marks the middle of the spot the lens is reading so you know what you measured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ItaliaForno infrared thermometer measures from -50 to 400°C, which ItaliaForno publishes as -58 to 752°F, with a stated accuracy of ±1.5°C or ±1.5 percent of the reading, whichever is larger. At a 700°F floor that is about ±10°F, which is tighter than anyone can cook to. The emissivity is fixed at 0.95, which suits refractory tile, cordierite stone, cast iron, a seasoned steel griddle and most cookware; it is not right for bright polished stainless, and the section on reading the floor explains why that matters for the oven's chimney and door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the pack: the thermometer, two AAA batteries fitted or bagged, and the feature list printed on the card. There is no printed manual to speak of and ItaliaForno publishes none, so the spec table on this page is the document.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ift-h2\"\u003eHow to Read a Pizza Oven Floor With It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"ift-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/7760\/5375\/files\/italiaforno-infrared-thermometer-reading-oven-floor.webp?v=1790358178\" alt=\"ItaliaForno infrared thermometer reading 752 degrees F on the floor of a Famiglia pizza oven with a pizza cooking\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12 to 1 spot ratio is the number that decides how you use the ItaliaForno infrared thermometer. It means the lens reads a circle one twelfth as wide as the distance to the surface: from 12 inches away it averages a 1 inch spot, from 24 inches a 2 inch spot, from 36 inches a 3 inch spot. On a 15.7 inch compact floor or the Famiglia's, reading through the door from about two feet gives a 2 inch patch, which is small enough to tell the front of the floor from the back. On the Grande Pro Duo's 31.5 inch floor the back corners are a longer reach and a wider spot; step closer to the mouth or read from the side of the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead the tile, not the flame and not the dome. The burner side of every ItaliaForno oven is hotter than the door side, and the floor under the flame runs ahead of the floor by the mouth, so take two or three readings across the tile and cook to the coolest one. Aim at bare tile, not at a patch of flour or a pizza; flour reads cool and a pizza reads its own surface. After a pizza comes off, the spot it sat on will read a hundred degrees or more below the tile beside it, and that is the number that tells you how long to wait before the next launch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things the fixed emissivity does. Refractory tile, stone, cast iron and dull steel all sit near 0.95, so the ItaliaForno infrared thermometer reads them true. Bright stainless does not; it reflects, and an infrared thermometer pointed at the polished chimney or the door frame reads low and unreliable. The floor is what you care about and the floor reads correctly. If you want the dome temperature, the dial in the oven's face is the tool for that, and it is measuring air, which is why the two never agree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ift-h2\"\u003eWhat 752°F Covers on Each ItaliaForno Oven\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery ItaliaForno oven preheats 30 to 50 minutes on gas with the door on, and the ItaliaForno infrared thermometer is the honest way to watch that happen: the dial climbs fast because it reads air, while the tile takes its time, and the gap between the two is the reason a first pizza launched on the dial's say so comes out pale underneath. Read the floor at ten minute intervals and launch when it says so, not the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow 752°F is most of the cooking. A New York style pizza wants a floor around 600 to 650°F and four to five minutes; bread goes in at 500 with steam; a chicken roasts at 450 with the door on; vegetables and a sheet pan at 400 in the last hour of heat. On every one of those the ItaliaForno infrared thermometer gives you a number, and on the compacts and the Famiglia running at their everyday setting that is where the floor sits most of the night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove 752°F is Neapolitan territory, and there the screen shows over range rather than a figure. A floor at 800 to 850°F cooks a pizza in about 90 seconds, and the thermometer will tell you that you are past 752 but not by how much. For a lot of owners that is enough: over range means launch, and the coolest reading across the tile is what you watch for. For an owner who wants the actual number at 850°F, the next section is for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ift-h2\"\u003eAbove 752°F: The Higher Range Gun\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe carry 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 FDP infrared thermometer gun\u003c\/a\u003e for the ovens that run hot, and it is the tool for reading a Neapolitan floor by the degree. It costs more than this one, and it reads what this one cannot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe honest split is this. If you cook mostly at New York style and roasting temperatures, or you are happy to treat over range as the launch signal, the ItaliaForno infrared thermometer at $49.95 is the right buy and the price of a pizza night out. If you bought a Grande Pro Duo to run it at 850°F on wood and gas together and you want to know when the floor has recovered to 800 between pizzas, buy the higher range gun instead of this one, not as well as it. We would rather sell you one thermometer that reads your oven than two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ift-h2\"\u003eBatteries, Laser and Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo AAA batteries live in the grip behind a sliding cover, and the auto power off keeps a set going through a season of pizza nights; carry a spare pair in the drawer; the oven's igniter runs on a single AAA as well, so one spare pack covers both. Switch the backlight off in daylight and the laser off when you do not need the mark and the batteries last longer still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe laser is a pointer and the usual rule applies: never at anyone's eyes, and not at a mirror or a polished surface that can bounce it back. Keep the lens in the nose clean with a dry cloth or a lens tissue; smoke and flour haze it and a hazed lens reads low. Do not leave the ItaliaForno infrared thermometer on the oven's side table in the sun or on the middle shelf of the cart under a hot oven; it is a plastic bodied instrument rated to read 752°F, not to sit in it, and heat soaking the body throws the reading off until it cools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ift-h2\"\u003eWhich Thermometer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery ItaliaForno oven has a dial thermometer in its face, the ItaliaForno infrared thermometer reads the floor, and the higher range gun reads the floor past 752°F.

It is dense, so a split burns long and holds a bed of coals instead of flaring and dying; it is mild, so the smoke seasons the crust without the sweetness of a fruitwood or the bite of hickory; and it is dry wood that lights without fuss once it has been cured, which this has. Fruitwoods and pecan are worth adding for flavor once the oven is familiar, and the wood types guide linked above explains when. For the fire that brings a floor to 800°F and keeps it there through a run of pizzas, oak is what the fire wants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat matters as much as the species is the cure. Green wood steams instead of burning, smokes out the chamber, leaves creosote in the flue and never gets a floor to temperature. HPC's splits are dried before they are boxed, and a cured 10 to 12 inch oak split catches from kindling in minutes and burns to coals in under an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"hwd-h2\"\u003eWhich Ovens It Fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny oven that burns wood.

On a brick oven run entirely on wood, that is one long evening: an hour to heat, a run of pizzas, and the fire banked for bread after. On a hybrid such as the Forno or the Grande Pro Duo, where gas does the preheat and the wood is a small fire beside the pizzas for flavor, a box lasts two or three nights. Owners who cook every weekend on wood alone buy by the cord; this box is for everyone else, and for the first fires of a new oven, which should be small ones with dry wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"hwd-h2\"\u003eStoring It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the box off the ground and out of the rain, on the bottom shelf of the oven cart under a cover, in a shed, or on a covered porch. Cured oak that gets wet dries again in a week in the open air but will not light the night it rains. Do not store the box inside the oven: a cold chamber sweats, and the first fire with damp wood in it is the smoky one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"hwd-h2\"\u003eWhat to Order With It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box goes on the same order as the oven, where it ships free with the oven's freight and arrives on the same delivery.
