Portable pizza oven fuel types

There are three main fuel types when it comes to outdoor portable pizza ovens.

Gas

Outdoor portable pizza ovens fueled by gas are a popular choice amongst camping enthusiasts. Gas fuelled portable pizza ovens are highly efficient and can be compatible with a variety of gas types, however, the most common tends to be Propane.

Outdoor portable pizza ovens fuelled by gas are a popular choice, as they will provide flexible control over cooking temperatures and also have the ability to heat up extremely quickly. Usually within minutes!

They are also reliable and relatively straightforward to use. Most of the time, all you need to do is link the gas regulator (which is usually included) up to a gas tank and it’s good to go.

Wood pellet

Wood pellet portable pizza ovens are great for creating that smoky rustic taste foodies have come to know and love.

These types of outdoor portable pizza ovens are very easy to use, perfect for beginners. Sophisticated types tend to work through a gravity-fed pellet hopper that automatically feeds the wood pellets to the oven itself – taking all the hassle out of cooking incredible pizzas.

A wood pellet outdoor pizza oven is great for efficiency, as the pellets light up very easily and leave virtually no ash behind. Not only that, the oven itself will take a matter of minutes to reach scorching temperatures of up to 500℃.

As long as you keep the wood pellets topped up, the oven will operate at a consistent rate, plus, a 3kg bag of wood pellets should provide you with approximately 3 hours of cooking time – making a wood pellet portable pizza oven a highly efficient option.

If you’d prefer a low maintenance option that creates the most authentic wood-flavoured pizzas, a wood pellet outdoor portable pizza oven would be a superb option for you.

Multi-fuel

The last option is a multi-fuel outdoor portable pizza oven, which comes with a host of benefits.

Multi-fuel portable pizza ovens can be fueled by either real wood or charcoal, depending on what you want. They are known for their heat retention capabilities, as well as being extremely powerful – which together, create a highly efficient pizza oven that allows for flexibility.

This is a highly popular option as it allows for either low maintenance cooking that will taste great (gas/charcoal) or wood for creating that delicious stone-baked flavour.

Multi-fuel portable pizza ovens aren’t usually compatible with wood pellets, and instead, you would need to use kindling sized wood logs for them to work efficiently, should you prefer to use this fuel type.

A good quality outdoor portable pizza oven will heat up to extremely hot temperatures (usually up to 500℃) in a matter of minutes and will produce incredibly well-cooked pizzas in just 60 seconds.

It’s worth noting that if you would prefer to use gas with a multi-fuel pizza oven, you’ll likely need a gas burner attachment. These tend to be sold separately.

How much do portable pizza ovens cost?

The price of a portable pizza oven can vary significantly. If you want a high-quality portable pizza oven that’ll stand the test of time (if cared for correctly), you can expect to spend anywhere from £200 to £300.

What can I cook in a portable pizza oven?

So, it goes without saying that you’ll be able to cook up some pretty delicious pizzas. However, that isn’t all you can do with a high-quality outdoor portable pizza oven.
