Gas Oven Types & Features

Propane Gas Ovens

Picking a propane gas pizza oven in Australia means you don’t have to worry about a fixed gas line, which is convenient for renters or someone wanting a more flexible setup. It’s easy to find replacement cylinders, although how often you need them depends on the pizza oven itself and how much you cook.

Natural Gas Ovens

If you don’t want to risk running out of gas, a natural gas oven connects to a gas line so you’re always ready to cook up a storm. You will need professional installation and safety checks, so it can be smart to plan ahead if you’re building a permanent modular kitchen or outdoor kitchen.

Hybrid Gas/Wood Ovens

Sometimes you just want that classic smoky taste that only comes from wood. A hybrid gas/wood-fired pizza oven gives you the best of both worlds depending on the time you have and the flavours you want to produce.
