No, this is a tabletop unit designed for portability and ease of use. While it arrives ready to go, you will need a sturdy, heat-resistant surface to place it on, such as a stone or metal outdoor table.

You should use dry, seasoned hardwoods like oak, hickory, or fruitwoods such as apple or cherry. Avoid softwoods like pine or cedar, as they contain resins that can create soot and negatively affect the flavor of your pizza.

Depending on the ambient temperature and the quality of your wood, it typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes to preheat the oven to optimal pizza-baking temperatures. We recommend using an infrared thermometer to ensure the stone surface is hot enough before launching your first pie.
