Wood vs. Gas - What's the Difference?Updated 2 years ago

Wood vs. Gas - is there a difference?

The most important thing when making amazing pizza is reaching very high temperatures which all Stoke ovens can do - this will allow you to make incredible pizza in 60 seconds.

Wood

  • Using wood creates a tasty wood-fired flavor. Wood-fired food just has something tasty about it - you can't beat the ambience of a crackling fire and the aroma it will fill your backyard up with. 
  • You can also use a mix of Wood and charcoal. This combination is best used fo a slow drawn out cook at lower temperatures - ideal for meat such as beef or turkey.

Propane Gas

  • You can also use gas to cook low and slow. Propane Gas is the most convenient fuel source when you're looking for that constant, lower temperature. Control the temperature of your Stoke with the gas knob on the burner. Using gas is the most versatile as it allows you to cook at super high heat (950ºF/500˚C) or lower temperatures.
  • Your fuel choice is totally up to you and how you dream of using your Stoke - each Stoke oven has it's own awesome set of benefits!
