How To Light Ooni Fyra Pizza Oven

The pizza oven arrived in an extremely compact box, which was very easy to transport to the garden. I was amazed by the compact packaging and couldn't believe the entire pizza oven was inside.

As it is almost impossible to cook pizza in the oven without a good pizza slicer, I recommend that you get one. I am also looking to purchase another one to help me set up a small pizza production line. This is not necessary if you cook for just four people. But if you have to cater for many more people it might be useful.

It also takes up little space in your shed (which is always a plus when it's already crammed into the rafters), so it can be stored easily when not in use. Ooni-branded covers are also available to fit this oven. This cover has carry handles so it can be easily taken to the beach or to a friend's place, as well as on camping trips.

You shouldn't let its small size fool you. This pizza oven is capable of making delicious pizzas just as good and as tasty as your favourite pizza restaurant. It has been an excellent addition to our outdoor entertainment setup. We can't WAIT to run it through again this spring or summer.

First, remove the chimney cap. Next, take off the chimney cap and fill it with hardwood pellets. To get started, I used approximately two dozen hardwood pellets following the instructions. Next, add a firelighter (I used Ooni firelighters which were provided), and light it. Finally, push the grate into place in the back of your pizza oven.

Ooni is the leading brand in backyard pizza ovens. Their Fyra 12 ($349) model is their most affordable. Ooni's most compact option is also the Fyra 12 It weighs 22lbs and uses dry hardwood pebbles as its fuel source. These pellets are easily transportable and can be purchased at most grocery and hardwood stores in the U.S.

It also takes up minimal space in the shed (always a plus point when it's already crammed to the rafters), so we can easily store it when not in use. If you don’t have storage space, you can also buy an Ooni-branded cover to fit this particular oven. The cover also has carry handles, so you could easily take this to the beach, a friend’s house or even on camping trips too.

The Fyra, like the Ooni 3 or Ooni Karu has a door that helps retain heat in the oven. The handle is made of glass and keeps it cool even when the temperature rises. Once the door is opened, it doesn't get in your way. It can be hung at the bottom to allow you to slide your pizza inside.

As long as the oven was kept topped-up with pellets, it maintained its temperature well. I was able remove one pizza from the oven, place it back on the door, prepare the next pizza, and just put it in to cook. I didn't have to wait for the oven to heat back up for too long.

This will ensure that the pizza is removed from the peel quickly and without any damage to your toppings. It's also a skill you need to master. The best way to remove the pizza is gently, and you'll soon master it after a few more attempts.

It was very disappointing to receive my Ooni, with the intention of making pizza the next day, but to find out that I didn't have the necessary materials, including a fire starter, pizza peel, and wood pellets. None of these items come in the box. You should not purchase the Ooni pizza peel. Make sure you get one that is narrow and thin enough to fit your pizza and enough space to shift, shake and angle in each direction. This one is great! Although you could use a wooden peel, I found that I needed the thinness and strength of the metal to maneuver well.

The pellets are a versatile product that has a lot of benefits. They burn efficiently, which is something that has been mentioned before. But this can be disputed when you cook at the high temperatures required for good pizza-making.
