# Best wood-fired pizza ovens Source: https://peelandflame.co.uk/best/best-wood-fired-pizza-oven 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 Wood-fired ovens give you a live flame rolling over the dome and a hint of smoke, but they ask more of you than gas. You light a fire, keep it fed and watch the flame between pizzas. Portable wood ovens split into two groups: those built around hardwood pellets, which burn hot and are easy to tip in, and those that take small logs or charcoal. Things that set them apart are the fuel they accept, the size of the stone, the top temperature the maker states, how easy it is to add fuel mid-cook and the weight. This guide compares seven ovens on those points, using only the listings. Some sellers say far less than others, and where that is the case the table shows Not stated rather than a guess. ## Products ### 1.
