Empava Wood Fired Pizza Oven PG06

While the oven is designed for a rapid 5-minute preheat, reaching the optimal cooking temperature of 800°F may take slightly longer depending on the quality of your wood and ambient outdoor temperatures. Plan for a few extra minutes to ensure the stone surface is fully saturated with heat for the best crust.

Yes, the high-heat environment is excellent for more than just pizza. You can use it to roast meats, bake artisan breads, or char vegetables, provided you manage the fire and temperature carefully to suit the specific dish.

The oven is constructed from 430-grade stainless steel, which offers good durability for outdoor use. However, like any outdoor appliance, we strongly recommend using a protective cover when it is not in use to prevent surface oxidation and keep it clean from debris.

The unit weighs 100 lbs and comes equipped with integrated mobility wheels, making it relatively easy to reposition on a flat, stable surface. We recommend having a second person assist you if you need to move it over uneven terrain or up steps.

For the best results and flavor, use dry, seasoned hardwoods like oak, maple, or fruitwoods. Avoid softwoods like pine or cedar, as they can produce excessive soot and creosote, which may affect the taste of your food and dirty the oven interior.

The stone surface is durable but porous, so avoid using soap or harsh chemicals to clean it, as these can be absorbed and taint future meals. Simply scrape off any burnt food residue with the included brush once the oven has completely cooled.
