Wood-fired pizza ovens: Have We Forgotten How Great They Are?

This image shows Wood Fired Pizza Oven

Pizza and bread cooked over a wood fire have a flavour and smell that match anything cooked over a wood fire. At the present, a lot of us seem to be focused on smoking, and why not? Smoking is great because it's fun, delicious, and great atmosphere. I simply wonder whether we're overlooking how excellent wood-fired ovens are as well. Even worse, it appears that gas ovens have generally taken over as the preferred method for cooking pizza in restaurants, takeout, and even at home, which is which is a shame.

Despite the fact that many of us own many BBQs, I believe there aren't as many woodfired pizza ovens out there, despite the fact that they're an excellent choice for cooking with family, friends, and large groups of people.

Just a handful of the many benefits of wood-fired ovens are listed here.

1. The cooking temperatures

Ovens that use wood fire have very high cooking temperatures. Thus, a pizza can be made in significantly less time than five minutes. Great for events where there are lots of hungry people eating pizza.

2. The results

You can enjoy the crispy outer and soft inner crust thanks to the smokey flavour that wood-fired ovens give to the dish. Let’s see your kitchen oven do that.

3. It’s fun to use

You get the opportunity to experiment with fire while learning how to maintain one. Cooking with a wood-fired oven requires a certain skill set, which is enjoyable to develop over time.

4. It makes a great centrepiece (and you get to show off a bit)

While you put on a show cooking the pizzas for the crowd, a wood-fired oven creates a great gathering place in the yard.

5. They don’t just cook pizzas

Wood-fired ovens are just that—ovens. If you can cook it in the kitchen oven, you can definitely cook it on a wood-fired oven outside with more flavour and fun.

Almost everyone I've talked to who owns a wood-fired oven loves it and uses it frequently, and there are a ton of other reasons why they make terrific additions to your outdoor space. A woodfired oven is a fantastic item to have if you enjoy cooking outside.
