FAQs

What type of BBQ is compatible with this pizza oven?

This pizza oven is designed to be used with hooded gas and charcoal BBQs. Your BBQ's cooking area must be at least H13cm x W60cm x D40cm.

How long does it take to cook a pizza?

After the initial pre-heating time of 15-20 minutes to reach 400°C, a 12” pizza will cook in approximately 90 seconds.

Can I cook other foods in the pizza oven besides pizza?

Yes, the ceramic pizza stone is versatile and can be used for smoking meats, fish, vegetables, and even cooking casseroles, adding a stone-baked quality to your dishes.

How do I clean the ceramic pizza stone?

Allow the stone to cool completely, then scrape off any excess food. For stubborn residue, use a stiff brush or a damp cloth. Avoid harsh soaps or detergents, as they can be absorbed by the porous stone.

Does the pizza oven come assembled?

Yes, the VonHaus BBQ Pizza Oven comes fully assembled and ready to be placed on your compatible BBQ.

Is the oven portable for camping trips?

Yes, with its compact build (H13.5 x W35.5 x D41.5cm) and two side handles, it is designed to be easily moved, making it suitable for garden use, camping, and other outdoor events where a compatible BBQ is available.

What is the optimal cooking temperature for pizzas?

The optimal cooking temperature for pizzas in this oven is 400°C (750°F), which can be monitored using the integrated temperature gauge.

Troubleshooting

Pizza base is soggy or not crispy enough.

Ensure the oven has fully pre-heated to 400°C as indicated by the temperature gauge before inserting the pizza. Rotate the pizza halfway through cooking to ensure even heat exposure from your BBQ. Also, ensure your BBQ is producing sufficient, even heat across the oven's base.

Oven is not reaching the optimal 400°C temperature.

Verify that your BBQ's burners (for gas BBQ) or coals (for charcoal BBQ) are at their highest effective setting. Ensure the BBQ's hood is fully closed during pre-heating to trap heat. Check that your BBQ meets the minimum size requirements (H13cm x W60cm x D40cm) to allow proper heat circulation around the pizza oven.

Food is sticking to the ceramic pizza stone.

Make sure the pizza stone is adequately pre-heated with the oven. Lightly dust the stone with flour or cornmeal before placing the pizza or other food items on it. Avoid using oil directly on the stone, as it can burn and create smoke.

Compatibility

  • BBQ Type: Designed for use with hooded gas and charcoal BBQs.
  • Minimum Cooking Area: Your BBQ must have a minimum cooking area of H13cm x W60cm x D40cm to properly accommodate the pizza oven.
  • Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the BBQ as per your BBQ manufacturer's instructions.

Care

  • Pizza Stone Cleaning: After use, allow the ceramic pizza stone to cool completely. Scrape off any excess food residue with a spatula. For stubborn stains, use a stiff brush or a damp cloth; avoid harsh detergents. The stone can be wiped down easily.
  • Oven Exterior Cleaning: The insulated stainless steel exterior can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent scratching.
  • Storage: Store in a dry place to protect the stainless steel from prolonged exposure to elements, even though it is rust-resistant. Ensure it is completely cool before storing.
