BIG HORN OUTDOORS12" Woodfire Pizza Stone Oven, 887°F Outdoor Stainless Pizza Cooker, Portable for Party Usage, Sliver

This pizza oven works really well with just a little attention to keeping the fire burning just right.I've attached pictures of our first 3 pizzas. Super fun and tasty.You will need a few other things to complete your outdoor pizza cooking setup.1- 12" wide pizza peel....I found an aluminum peel with a rocker cutter here on Amazon.2- infrared thermometer....get one that goes up to 1000 degrees. We recorded temps over 900. Also found on Amazon.3- fire starter. There are lots of options here, but I went with a propane torch that uses the 1lb propane bottles.4- BBQ pellets. These are sold just about everywhere. Keep pellets in air tight container so they don't absorb moisture over time.Now that you have all the necessary accessories it's time to cook some pizza! Follow directions for assembling and initial fireing as outlined in the documentation.I start out with a full firebox of pellets. Light with blowtorch and then insert into oven. This will take 15 minutes or so to burn down. During the burn you will see small flames coming out the chimney.When the flames are no longer visible at the chimney, check the stone temps with the heat gun. You want something in the 7-800 range. Good n hot!If not up to temp, add another scoop into the pellet feeding chute. Watch for flames at chimney then check temp again when flames subside.I like to place pizza in the oven as soon as the flames subside. This way the stone is super hot and you don't have a huge fire rolling across the top of the pizza.Pizza goes in and timer is started. 1:00 minute later I open the door and using the provided poker rotate the pizza 120 degrees or 1/3 of a complete rotation. Close door. (Push and pull on opposite sides of the pizza with poker to rotate) At the 1:30 mark open door again and rotate another 120 degrees. Close door. Remove perfectly cooked pizza at 2:00 minute mark!Now the important part, immediately add another scoop of pellets. During those 2 minutes you had the pizza in the oven the fire was dying. Once the new scoop of pellets light the flame will soon be coming out the chimney again and you can cook the next pizza as soon as the flames subside.

I absolutely love this pizza oven ! I've already made 5 pizza's and each one is progressively getting better and better the more I make where the saying practice makes perfect definitely holds true here. I will always make enough dough to make two pizzas and will freeze the other ball of dough when I'm in the mood to make a pie. The use of a fan trick works great and I will use a small computer fan set up on a few bricks where it is blowing from the back of the oven and this keeps a nice fire going. I like to get my oven really hot up to 550° and higher (I use an infrared thermometer I point on the stone) and wait till the fire dies down and place my pizza on the stone and bake for about 4 to 5 minutes and then add one small scoop (a scoop for protein drinks) of pellets to reginite the flame and bake for another 30 sec to a minute. I find this method provides a perfect crispy crust and reginiting the fire provides a nice balance of some char marks on the top and crust but always keep a close eye on things because this oven bakes fast and hot. After making 5 pizzas, this gem of an oven has already paid for itself and making pizza's is actually really fun and enjoyable! I also bought a pizza peel here on Amazon called Mooues which is 12" and this peel fits and works perfectly with my Bighorn oven. The last pizza I made was a white pizza which included homemade garlic oil, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, black olives,and mozzarella and ricotta cheese and it was absolutely delicious !! Just like anything, it takes a little trial and error and watching pizza making videos was also a big help but like I said the more pizza's you make the better you will become to being a master at making the perfect pizza... I've included pictures of my last two pizzas... Mmm..mmm.

It was easy to assemble and is actually pretty. It would be helpful if the description told you it comes with nothing.

Easy to set up easy to use.Makes great pizza

Great Christmas gift for our kids. They absolutely love their pizza oven and they use it all the time.

Great quality pizza oven. Had a great time using. I need to find the correct pellets to keep my fire burning. But the oven was great, easy to set up, and looks good as well. Also it is easy to clean.

It was easy to assemble, discovered you really can only use hardwood pellets and nothing else, and it takes quite a bit of the them to get hot enough - you have to refill the hopper at least twice after the first time, at about 18 minutes like they say, it's very hot - my thermal reader showed the pizza stone at almost 750 degrees. The hard part is that the top is very done and even burning and the bottom is barely done, trying to figure out how to solve that. I think it will work somewhat, but it's not ideal for making a wood fired pizza when compared to larger pizza ovens. It seems like the bottom of the crust wants to stick or not get done enough, even when the stone is very hot - like 750 degrees. Update 5th pizza - baked the crust first for 60 seconds, but in the end the crust is now over done and the top not. Just so difficult to use, I guess during Summer months when I don't want to cook indoors I'd be better off ordering pizza to go from a local place

We make homemade pizzas every Friday night! We have had this almost a year now and have no issues! It’s great! Taste is great, easy to use, good quality!
