Mesquite: This adds a strong, earthy flavor, adding a southwestern feel to any dish. It pairs well with pizzas containing dark or red meat.

It is ideal for Hawaiian pizza or anything with pineapple as it complements the fruity flavor.

Pecan: This is stronger than cherrywood, yet not as intense as using mesquite. It will add a bit of a nutty flavor to your pizza. Ooni Fyra 12 is perfect for making pizza anywhere, thanks to its lightweight design (just 22lbs, or 10kg). These are smaller pizza ovens that are generally made from stainless steel. This makes them perfect for outdoor use (assuming the material is of good quality) because they are durable, strong, and resist rust and corrosion from the elements. They are also known to retain heat very well and provide an even cooking temperature.Wood pellet pizza ovens are the most sought-after ovens due to their authentic taste. Gas pizza ovens simply can’t compare to the taste of a homemade, wood-fired pizza. Wood-fired pizza is even better when you cook with hardwood pellets instead of wood chunks or logs, a cooking option that can only be accomplished in a wood pellet pizza oven.

However, what you do have to bear in mind is the Ooni Fyra is a high-heat cooking device. Therefore, its suited to cooking thin cuts of meat, fish, vegetables and baking thin breads. In a dedicated pellet grill/smoker with an electrical connection, a hot rod igniter gets the fire going, but it obviously requires a source of electricity. However, you need to be aware that while each Ooni is covered by a pretty good 3-year warranty (once registered), water damage and surface rust are not covered in the Ooni Warranty Terms and Conditions. There is a learning curve when you’re cooking pizza with wood pellets, though. These ovens often burn at high temperatures due to the wood and the design of the pizza oven. Pizzas cook faster here than a typical wood fired pizza oven, and it will take some practice to learn how to use pellets to heat the cooking surface evenly. Beginners commonly burn the toppings as wood pellets generate higher heat over a traditional pizza stone, which usually only reach 450°F.Ooni Fyra 12 streamlines wood-fired cooking for a no-nonsense live fire experience and intense flavors.
