I made over 30 pizzas for a graduation party the first time I used this pizza oven (after a small test run a few days prior). Once up to 700 degrees (surface temperature), this unit will hold its heat amazingly well. I bake a pizza, shut the door with the vent hole closed, prep another dough with ingredients, and put this one in the oven. The prep takes about 5 minutes in between pizzas, while the baking takes about 4. I have finished one in 2 minutes, but I find that I am fighting to keep my deep edge from wanting to burn. Instead, I back the pizza out towards the opening and take a bit more time. This allows for a more thoroughly crispy crust underneath and a slightly browned molten cheese on top. About every other pizza, I add 1 or 2 thin pieces of wood on top of the coals in the back. The coals do most of the work, but you need a small flame roll to properly finish the top. A couple of general tips: Make sure to rub a little flour on the bottom of the dough before placing it on the square peel. If you flour the peel to heavily, the flour will end up on the baking surface of the oven and will transfer to other pizzas to make a rancid flavor. Also, buy a round stainless peel to do the turning. You can turn with the square one that comes with the kit, but a small round one will be much easier to use. Finally, after the last pizza, spread the coals out evenly over the whole baking surface, close the door and shut the vent hole. This will help clean the oven for next time. When you are ready to bake again, sweep out the ashes and you are ready to build another fire.
United StatesTom picked up the pizza oven a week ago. He has not started the installation as of yet.
United StatesIt’s still in the box. Waiting for mason to build it into a big outdoor kitchen
Our oven has been a BIG hit with family and friends. We have been cooking up a storm over here! Not only is the pizza fantastic, so are some of our favorites like Sausage and Peppers and Soft Shell Crab! Thanks for a great product!
I absolutely love my CBO! It has become the centerpiece to my Backyard Kitchen. The best part� I can now cook my Famous Neapolitan Tomato and Sausage Pie in my CBO instead of a conventional oven. And, the CBO team was with me throughout the entire installation process! Great customer service guys. -Mike C.
