XO XOPIZZA1CA Wood-Fired Oven

While the oven is designed for tabletop use, it gets extremely hot during operation. We strongly recommend placing it on a non-combustible surface like stone, concrete, or metal to prevent heat damage or fire hazards.

Depending on the quality and dryness of your wood, it typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes to preheat the refractory ceramic floor and reach optimal baking temperatures.

The domed design and heat retention make it quite versatile. Beyond pizza, it is excellent for roasting meats, baking artisan breads, or slow-cooking casseroles that benefit from high, radiant heat.

You control the temperature by adjusting the integrated damper on the chimney and managing the amount of wood fuel you add. The built-in thermometer allows you to monitor the internal heat levels at a glance.

The oven comes largely pre-assembled, though you will need to attach the chimney stack. It is a substantial unit at 88 pounds, so we recommend having a second person assist you when positioning it on your table.

Use well-seasoned, dry hardwoods like oak, ash, or fruitwoods. Avoid softwoods like pine or cedar, as they contain resins that can create excessive smoke and leave soot deposits on your food.
