Heat behaviour
Easier to adjust than a wood fire, because the flame can be turned up or down at once; models with a separate floor burner give more control over the base
Preheat: 15-30 minutes typically, much faster than wood-fired
Turning: Regular turning is needed in most models, because the flame sits at the back or one side
Safety
- Check gas connections before each use
- Ensure outdoor ovens have adequate ventilation
