La Hacienda Firebox BBQ Pizza Oven, Silver, 56216

Product Information

With a little determination and practice you can get great results from a small spend, but there’s not too much in the way of convenience and bragging rights." The main advantage to gas-powered pizza ovens is how low-maintenance they are by comparison: there’s no prep or waiting time, and no ashes to clean away afterwards. Instead, all you’ll need to do is attach a butane or propane canister. Also, the temperature of a gas pizza oven can be adjusted with the simple turn of a dial, although as explained, this isn’t essential. What else can be cooked in a pizza oven? They do, however, usually produce the tastiest pizza, as the wood smoke infuses additional flavours into the crust and base. The pizza is not cooked fast. On one side you have the Uuni 3 which cooks pizza in less than 60 seconds and on the other hand you have the Firebox Pizza Oven, which one would you choose?

This pizza oven is definitely unique in comparison to the other ovens out there but you would be lying if you have not thought of using your BBQ grill to bake pizzas.The largest of Ooni's multi-fuel pizza ovens, the Ooni Karu 16 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven is an investment, but as long as your budget will stretch, we think it's worth it. The Ooni Fyra is a five-star buy for many reasons, and an easy winner of the title of the best pizza oven. The first is that a wood-fired pizza oven is generally going to be the most affordable option in terms of initial outlay, and, as a rule, wood is a cheaper – and potentially more environmentally friendly – fuel type when compared to gas. Keep a consistent temperature 400°C is usually ideal for cooking pizza, but it can vary depending on what type of pizza you're cooking. A consistent heat will cook your pizzas evenly and keep them from burning unexpectedly. Learning how to properly fire an oven and bake perfect pizzas can be a journey in itself, one that requires both commitment and patience.

Despite its huge capacity, the Ooni is surprisingly compact at 50 x ​​81.5 x 83.7cm (including chimney), making it suitable for smaller gardens too. There’s a digital thermometer at the front, as well as a hinged door at the front and chimney on top, which allows you to control the airflow and temperature of the oven. In testing, we found the Ooni produced excellent results with both wood and gas, though the wood offered a crispier, smokier and more authentic pizza flavour overall. Adding and removing our pizza was easy, due to the Karu’s wide opening, and the reheat time was super speedy too – sometimes as little as 60 seconds. The Koda is a star buy for those who want to create authentic pizzas without the faff of keeping a fire going, as you would need to in the Fyra. If you love the ease of gas BBQs, the convenience of the Ooni Koda will probably be right up your street. Many of us love a barbecue. We enjoy cooking outside because it means that we don't have to miss a minute of the sun, which can seem like a rarity in the UK, and it also means that we can entertain friends and family outdoors while preparing great tasting food for them. There is a huge array of different barbecue and grill models that are designed for use outdoors, and with the right accessories it is possible to create a more expansive selection of food.

Benefits of using the Firebox Pizza Oven

Pizza stone These are the cooking surface and are usually made from moisture-absorbent cordierite. They're fantastic for retaining heat and are key for crisping up the base of your pizza. Most ovens come with a pizza stone included.

Fuel type: some will be gas-fuelled, others need wood, or it may be a multi-fuel. Indoor pizza ovens plug into the mains so don't need any other means of generating heat. All accessories are made from high quality materials and are built to last, so that you won't have to keep replacing them every barbecue season. They are also competitively priced and serve to enhance the whole pizza cooking experience. Safety: Pizzas require incredibly high temperatures to cook so we looked for excellent insulation and safety features to make using the pizza oven easy to use. When using wood – Williams recommends kiln-dried hardwood kindling – the Roccbox will require about 15 minutes to get to cooking temperature. "You have multiple layers of steel and plenty of insulation, though, so once it's hot, keeping an even cooking temperature is easy."

Dubbed “the Rolls-Royce of pizza ovens” in our full review, the Gozney Dome earns this title due to its luxurious design and excellent performance. Its cream-coloured, domed exterior is quite simply a pleasure to look at, while the weatherproofed ceramic and stainless body feels sturdy and well put-together, proving to be functional as well as aesthetically pleasing.
