Built after a traditional wood fired brick oven, the Artisan Outdoor Oven Accessory is perfect for pizzas, breads, meats, vegetables, and desserts. The ceramic stone promotes even heat distribution and the domed ceiling design mimics the same heating pattern as a wood fired brick oven. Preheats in just 15 minutes, exceeding 600 degree F if needed. You're not always going to have an infrared thermometer on you. The built-in gauge gives off accurate temperatures as to how hot your pizza oven is getting. Know exactly when your stone is up to temperature and ready for cooking.
