Which pizza oven for the garden?
Who would not like to extend the successful summer vacation on the Mediterranean? Summer, sun, sea - and the delicious food. Whether Italian pizza, Spanish stews or other Mediterranean specialties. Why not put a pizza oven in the garden and cook and bake as you please on the weekend all the delicious dishes that enchanted you on vacation. Take your vacation home with a pizza oven in the garden. A time out from the daily grind. Which pizza oven is suitable for your garden, or whether you put the pizza oven on the terrace or balcony, depends on a few factors:
- Should the pizza oven in the garden be self-built or pre-assembled? Go to the guide build your own pizza oven.
- Should the pizza oven in the garden be heated with wood or with gas or with both? Go to the wood or gas guide.
- Should the pizza oven in the garden have a fixed place or be mobile? Go to the fixed or mobile guide.
- What should be cooked and baked in the pizza oven in the garden?
The best pizza oven for your garden
These four key questions will determine which pizza oven is the best choice for your garden. Finding the best pizza oven for your backyard is based on your preferences. Are you handy and want to assemble your pizza oven in the garden yourself? Should it be a simple pizza oven in the classic dome oven design or would you like to build an individual outdoor kitchen, perhaps install your barbecue or even integrate a water point? Should the pizza oven in the garden be heated with wood or gas? Both types of firing have advantages and disadvantages. And also where the pizza oven will be positioned in the garden plays an important role. Should the pizza oven in the garden have a fixed place or do you want to move it from one place to another sometimes, so that it adapts to your seat. Finally, you need to know what dishes you like to cook and bake the most in your pizza oven in the garden. This is also crucial for the firing.
Buying a pizza oven for the garden
All the questions listed above about the pizza oven in the garden are important decision-making tools. Their sum gives a good picture, whether your pizza oven in the garden should be a pure pizza oven with extremely high temperatures or a multifunctional pizza oven in the garden, which also sometimes roasts a suckling pig. Bread can also be baked excellently in a pizza oven in the garden. If a second focus is on this, the choice falls on a different oven than for pure pizza enjoyment. If it is to be a mobile pizza oven in the garden or a pizza oven that is installed in an outdoor kitchen, other criteria come into play.
