La Hacienda Firebox BBQ Pizza Oven, Silver, 56216

Product Information

Pizza ovens are often billed as portable, so we weigh them and carry them a short distance, taking bulkiness and comfort into account.

The Firebox is one such accessory that allows you to cook pizzas without having to buy a dedicated pizza oven. The barbecue reaches very high temperatures, which are actually ideally suited to cooking pizza, but the uneven temperatures that are often experienced within the grill, and the uneven surface of the griddle mean that you will not be able to prepare a pizza on a standard barbecue surface. A pizza oven like the Firebox makes this possible.Key specs – Dimensions: 47 x 53 x 41cm (WDH); Weight: 20kg; Fuel type: Wood, gas; Portable: Yes; Max pizza size: 12in Somewhere in your garden, where it’s relatively sheltered from the breeze, as winds can send cool air into your oven and bring those cooking temperatures down. You’ll want a flat, even surface on which to rest your oven, whether that’s a heatproof tabletop, or the ground if it has its own legs or stand. Heat-proof gloves Getting up close and personal with an oven that can burn at 500°C comes with its risks. Wearing heat-proof gloves will help keep you safe while adding fuel, and if necessary, when launching and rotating pizzas. The main advantage to gas-powered pizza ovens is how low-maintenance they are by comparison: there’s no prep or waiting time, and no ashes to clean away afterwards. Instead, all you’ll need to do is attach a butane or propane canister. Also, the temperature of a gas pizza oven can be adjusted with the simple turn of a dial, although as explained, this isn’t essential. What else can be cooked in a pizza oven? The Firebox pizza oven comes to the rescue as all you need to do is add this bad boy to your grill and you can bake some perfectly crisp pizzas that taste nothing less than the ones you can make on professional pizza ovens.

The brand that put portable pizza ovens on the map lives up to its name with outstanding performance The Sage Smart Oven Pizzaiolo is a seriously smart indoor pizza oven. It can heat up to 400 degrees and cook authentic Neopolitan-style pizzas as well as deep dish and even frozen pizzas. Cleaning the pizza box is going to be really easy as all you need to do is remove it from the BBQ, let it cool and then just wipe it with a damp cloth. It is not huge like other pizza ovens which make the maintenance of the oven easy. We select the UK's bestselling pizza ovens and have cooked more than 80 pizzas to find out which are the easiest to use and which cook the best food. Another benefit of the stainless steel design is how easy it is to clean. All you need to do is finish preparing your pizza, let the pizza stone cool, and then wipe the oven down with a damp cloth. This should be enough to remove all but the most stubborn of stains and debris. Similarly, the size and convenient shape of the oven allows you to easily store it over the winter months or when you aren't using the pizza oven, and you can easily wipe it clean once you've finished.With a little determination and practice you can get great results from a small spend, but there’s not too much in the way of convenience and bragging rights." If you already own a BBQ grill or are planning on getting one along with a pizza oven then this is a perfect addition. You do not need to get a separate pizza oven altogether and can easily use this with your existing BBQ grill. Try other dishes too Pizza isn't the only thing these ovens are good for. If you have cookware that can handle the heat, there are endless possibilities – try roasting a joints of meat, steaming a pot of mussels or even baking bread.
