Question 1

How wide is the actual oven. It says 31" in the product description but that's really large if it only cooks a 12" pizza. Are those box dimensions?

Accepted Answer

You are right.  The dimensions given are outside packaging dimensions, no the actual products OD. The products OD are 25 3/4w x 14 3/4d x 15"h approx. The stone is 20 x 13. When they say this item can reach 750/800 degrees in 15 minutes they ain't lying. I make perfectly done pizza in 3minutes or less. Read the start up institute tions very carefully as the stone is very fragile and susceptible to cracking from changing temps to fast. A week ago I ordered another one to gift to my brother in Michigan and was put on a waiting list. Good luck

Question 2

I have uses my pizza over twice and both times the pizzas are black and burnt on the bottom even after turning down the heat the second use. ideas??

Accepted Answer

You must understand that regular flour  isn't meant for high heat cooking. Even those pizza's that you purchase from the store are not meant for heat over more than 425'/450'.  If you are going to make your own pizza and plan to cook them at high temp like the pro's do in the restaurants then you are going to need to make your dough with professional Italian 00 (Italian Double Zero) flour.  It is designed for HIGH HEAT cooking ( temp between 600-850' even higher) for very short periods of time.  Your crust will be super crusty, not burnt.  True italian pizza.  IT is all about the flour!  Remember....Double Zero flour!

Question 3

Will this oven get to temp in below zero temperatures?

Accepted Answer

Have to agree with those who say "it will NOT". Used it twice and both times 500F was as high as it would get (with door closed, 75F ambient, very light wind both days, and opening door dropped to 450F or so and could not even recover 500 during the cook.)
Promo heralded 700F but no way I could coax it to go above 500.
At 450-500 10" Neopolitan took almost 10 mins.
It worked, BUT, our "home" oven will do 500F - a Pizza Oven must reach 600-700 or what's the use? It did, however, cook a good pizza - just not what we expected.
We decided to return and spend a little more on the Roccbox.
Amazon was great about the return after a little bit of confusion on the "return" status initially.

Question 4

Is there a special type of table needed to put this on? I am afraid it might melt on a plastic type table.

Accepted Answer

I purchased a small, inexpensive stainless steel cart from a cooking supply store.  I placed two 18'x18" ceramic floor tiles (that I got at Home Depot for a few bucks each) under the oven.  The nice thing about the cart is the lower shelf for the propane tank and the fact that it has wheels.  It's now mobile and I can wheel it right next to my patio slider and access it from inside the kitchen.  Works great!!  Be advised that if you use a 5 gallon propane tank instead of the canister, you need to make sure they send you the right hose or you'll get a low flame condition that won't heat the oven properly.  Aside from that, this is a great oven and the pizzas are delicious!
