Troubleshooting
Oven not igniting
Ensure the gas tank is connected and the valve is open. Check the ignition system and ensure it is clean and functioning. Verify that the burner ports are not blocked.
Uneven cooking
Rotate the pizza halfway through cooking. Ensure the oven has reached its optimal temperature before placing the pizza inside. Check for consistent gas flow.
Low heat output
Check the propane tank level; it may be low. Ensure the gas regulator is set correctly and that there are no kinks in the gas line. Clean the burner assembly.
Smoky smell during operation
A slight smoky smell is normal and contributes to the pizza's flavor. Excessive or acrid smoke might indicate food debris burning inside or improper fuel flow. Ensure the oven and cooking stone are clean.
