In this comprehensive guide, we will explore everything you need to know about gas for Gozney pizza ovens, from choosing the right type to maximizing its performance.
Types of Gas for Gozney Pizza Ovens
There are two main types of gas that can be used with Gozney pizza ovens:
- Propane (LP): Propane is a liquefied petroleum gas that is commonly used in portable grills and outdoor appliances. It is widely available and relatively inexpensive.
- Natural gas (NG): Natural gas is a fossil fuel that is piped into homes and businesses. It is more efficient than propane but may not be available in all areas.
Choosing the Right Gas for Your Gozney Pizza Oven
The type of gas you choose will depend on your specific needs and circumstances. If you plan on moving your pizza oven frequently, propane is a good choice as it is easy to transport in portable tanks. If you have access to natural gas, it is the more economical and efficient option.
