The Art Of Barbequing Using A Natural Gas Fired Outdoor Pizza Oven

The art and practice of and interest in barbequing has increased to a brand new level in recent years with the revived focus in outdoor cooking. Instead of choosing the customary briquette grill we are finding much more satisfaction cooking over wood such as alder, oak, mesquite or whatever good cooking hardwood is locally available. For centuries bread has been baked in wood fired ovens made steel, stone or out of masonry and the secret to thick crunchy crust is held therein. It is a well known that wood fired cooking is and always has been the key to many cooking secrets and techniques. It is no wonder that every chateau or manor visited in France has a wood fired cooking technique. The flavor, the smoke, and the heat is unequaled and those of us who savor cooking good food continue to look for a way that will take us back to that quality and simplicity.

For years, in the Southeast, a tradition of delectable smoked meats from Texas beef to Carolina pork has been a part of Americana. Could there be a way of merging the essence of smoking with qualities that would allow us to bake bread in the same system? Absolutely yes, it is the wood fired pizza oven. Not only can we have the cooking process outdoors on those warm summer evenings, but we can experience pizza in a gourmet fashion, the way we like it, with the crust of Italy and flavor that takes us and our friends to an experience of the old country. And when we want to cook our favored meat we can do it slowly but surely with a thick smoke surrounding it forming itself into a delicious offering for our guests as we work our way through an incredible dinner reminiscent of a night on the Loire River in the middle of France.

The outdoor pizza oven comes in several distinct forms for the serious follower of old world cooking. The classical Italian wood fired pizza oven is often built into a patio or deck system as a gathering place and conversation piece around which food can be enjoyed in an intimate setting. This approach, because of the need for comparatively sophisticated masonry work, can be extremely costly and many times the typical food lover cannot afford such a system. The other choice is a steel, free standing wood fired pizza oven like ours which requires no special masonry work or installment and can be used right from the box.

Choosing old fashioned convection styled heating, a person simply builds a fire in the firebox and waits for the oven to heat up to temperature. All the controls of a wood stove are provided with the unit to control and facilitate the fire so that it lights right away and heats to temperature without any problems and trouble free. Then, once the oven has reached its cooking temperature it can be used to cook bread, meats, pizza and anything imaginable. Our outdoor pizza oven has a method to channel the smoke from the wood to the oven to enrich the flavor. Not only does it make real wood cooking handy to the beginner but it affords a very attractive addition to your patio or deck as you entertain.

Out-of-doors pizza ovens bring back the pleasure of the method of cooking with wood. Having your own outdoor pizza oven on a summer evening, in your own private setting, family or good friends, and of course, good food can make a delicious and memorable experience you and your guests will long remember.
