A portable outdoor pizza oven

Acquire outside and share homemade pizza built in the Ooni Fyra 12 portable pizza oven. This ingenious wood pellet oven heats to 950 levels Fahrenheit in 15 minutes and cooks a pizza in 60 seconds — 90 seconds for a frozen pizza. The Ooni Fyra packs compact for storage — it has foldable legs and two removable chimneys that stow within the oven — still it sets up in seconds. Spot the oven on a sturdy desk — preferably a stone, stainless metal, or marble surface (we like Ooni’s safe and fashionable modular table) — feed a scoop or two of hardwood pellets into the hopper, hearth them up, and use Ooni’s infrared thermometer to observe the oven temp. Assemble your pizza on a person of Ooni’s 12-inch aluminum or bamboo peels, slip the pizza in the oven — putting it on the hot pizza stone — and it will be finished before you can pour the drinks. Use the peep gap on the oven door to keep an eye on the hearth and pellet source, and regulate the stream of air working with the chimney vent. Ooni will make propane pizza ovens, way too. $299 Fyra $199.99-$249.99 desk $39.99 infrared thermometer. ooni.com
