# Best pizza ovens for a small garden or balcony Source: https://peelandflame.co.uk/best/best-pizza-oven-for-a-small-garden Publisher: Peel and Flame. Picks are based on what the Amazon listings state, not on hands-on testing. Method: https://peelandflame.co.uk/how-we-pick In a small garden the oven has to fit the space you have, and it has to suit the neighbours. Footprint is the first check: depth and width in centimetres against your table, plus clear space around it. Fuel is the second. Electric outdoor ovens make no flame or smoke, gas makes little smoke, and wood pellets give the most flavour but also the most smoke drifting over a fence. Balconies need extra care, because many leases and building rules ban open flames or gas bottles, so check before you buy. This guide compares six compact ovens by footprint, weight, fuel and what is in the box, with every figure taken from the listings. ## Products ### 1. Jamie Oliver by Tefal Outdoor Gas Pizza Oven, Rotating Stone for Homemade Pizza, Pizza Parties, includes Pizza Peel, Gas Hose and Regulator, portable, foldable legs, black JM4168G0 Burner: Not stated; Stone turning: Hand-turned dial; Max temp (stated): Not stated; Regulator: Hose and regulator included; Weight: 10.9 kg A gas oven with a cordierite stone you rotate using a dial on the side, so the pizza turns without opening up the front. Hose, regulator and peel are in the box. In its favour: - A side dial rotates the cordierite stone, so you can even out the bake without reaching in with a turning peel. - Comes with a stainless steel peel, hose and gas regulator, and the listing states it suits UK gas bottles. - Tefal states spare parts are available for 15 years after purchase, which helps keep the oven going. Good to know: - The listing does not state a maximum temperature or the stone size, both useful to compare. - Warranty detail in the specs is unclear, so check the guarantee terms on Tefal's own site. ### 2.
