Will I notice a difference in flavor between wood and gas?


You may notice a small difference in flavor. The smells that come from burning wood can bring a wood-fired flavor and feel to your pizza which you won’t get using a gas oven. The difference however will be very slight since your pizza won't be in the oven for very long.


Here are some things to consider when choosing between wood vs gas:

  • Wood has a much more traditional feel. A lot of people love the smell and smoke that comes from cooking with wood.
  • Wood makes for a more hands-on cooking experience. To control the temperature, you need to adjust the vents and fuel levels.
  • Cooking with gas makes for super quick and convenient cooking. No ash leftover afterwards.
  • Gas requires less maintenance throughout your cook. To control the temperature, you simply need to turn the control dial up or down.
