    Yea I'm familiar with (bigger) wood fired ovens, not at all with these small / portable ones though.
    When talking abut the latter, it's always wood pellets, right? I assumed that (and considering the small scale) makes it a lot less faff compared to real wood / big oven.
    Gas surely is a lot easier of course!
    What consensus is there regarding the taste of the pizza?

  • Makes zero difference to taste due to such a small contact time with any smoke, and there’s little smoke anyway due to the temperature the wood burns at. Some of the newer and bigger oonis can run on solid wood rather than pellets IIRC.

  • Mine runs on real wood or charcoal but it's not like a big oven where you hit a temp and it retains heat you have to constantly dick around to keep it in the sweet spot from going out or burning the fuck out of everything. It's fine if you've got the time but of you're having pizza regularly gas is a no brainer.
