Whether you’re a homeowner or restaurant owner, if you want to use a pizza oven 365 days of the year in the UK, indoor pizza ovens are the way to go.
Unless you are extremely hardy and see the winter months as a culinary challenge, having a Fuego wood fired pizza oven indoor, or under a covered roof, is the perfect set up.
But how easy is it to achieve? Where can you site an indoor wood fired oven? What’s the best indoor pizza oven? Do you need a flue fitted by an improved installer? We’ve all the answers to all your burning questions.
Having an indoor wood fired pizza oven opens up so many gastronomic possibilities.
Rather than those wonderful smokey flavours being the reserve of the summer months and clement weather, by having a wood fired pizza oven indoor, you can enjoy them all year round at any time of day in comfort.
If you’re a restaurateur, it also means you have a centre-piece oven and can offer an exciting and authentic menu any day of the week throughout the entire year.
Also, an indoor wood fired oven isn’t just for pizza, you can barbecue, grill, pan cook, slow cook, roast, smoke and even bake bread in one, all with those delicious smokey characteristics.
There are two essential things you need to consider when it comes to deciding where to position a wood fired pizza oven indoor or a commercial indoor wood fired oven under cover or in a kitchen:
When you want a wood fired pizza oven indoor, you can’t just put it anywhere because it needs a fixed flue fitted and commissioned by a professional approved installer.
Because the pizza oven is wood burning, the smoke created inside the oven needs to be directed outside safely up through the roof or you will be in danger of filling your home or restaurant with smoke. Therefore, where you wish to site the oven is very much governed by the ability to fit a proper fixed flue.
The other key consideration is the fact that you will be entertaining family and friends or cooking for customers, so workflow really matters.
The best indoor pizza oven is one that is installed not only correctly, but in the most convenient and efficient part of your covered space, kitchen or restaurant.
You will no doubt need space and food preparation areas close to be able to prepare pizzas and other foods and quickly and easily put in, monitor, turn and take out your creations.
Once you’ve decided precisely where you want your indoor wood fired oven to be, you’ll need it installing correctly.
