Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best wood for a pizza oven?

Kiln dried hardwoods such as ash and beech are excellent for pizza ovens because they burn hot, cleanly and consistently. We offer a range of pizza oven logs to suit each individual oven. Avoid damp logs, softwood and treated timber.

Can I use normal firewood for cooking?

Only use clean, untreated hardwood that is properly dried.
