A pellet oven burns small compressed wood pellets fed from a hopper or funnel at the back. You get real wood flame and smoke, but the fire is easier to light and keep going than logs. The catch is attention: pellets burn fast, so the flame only stays steady if you keep topping up. That makes the fuel feed, the stone size and the weight the details worth comparing. A bigger stone gives you more room to launch and turn a pizza. A lighter oven is easier to carry to the end of the garden or a campsite. Some models also take wood chunks, charcoal or gas. This guide compares seven pellet ovens by fuel options, stone size, stated top temperature, stated heat-up time and weight, using only what each listing states. Where a figure is missing, the table says Not stated.
