@ALdraim 37mbar pressure for propane,and 28mbar pressure for butane. Propane is better.

I have a half barrel type brick oven with two LPG burners, one on each side. The problem I have is that I can't the floor hot enough. Also, I can't get the flame that high even when I put the regulator at maximum. What pressure should gas be at to have a high flame? Also, does the size and shape of the burner matter much?

@thekidsta LPG is clean,controllable and gives a nice moist heat which ensures a well cooked pizza base and crispy succulent topping.

Good concept, but you cant beat the taste of real hardwood fired brick oven pizza and bread..This may seem like a nice idea, but this is defenitly NOT what i am building in my back yard..Good vid tho...

Lpg propane used to fire pizza ovens gives a nice even moist cooking heat and as it burns a tad hotter than natural gas(lpg is refined from crude oil and has a higher calorific value than natural gas),cooks pizzas faster. Lpg butane isn't recommended for pizza ovens because it functions at a lower 28mbar pressure and would be more sluggish performance with yellow flames and soot emission on pizza oven walls from the burners.

considering the size of this oven ,its better with gas, should you use wood, you need a larger oven.

Ah....okay......he turned the pizza....I thought he might forget about that very important detail.

Too sad they use gas instead of real wood. Wood makes the pizza taste far better, more authentic. Give it a try, you'll know the difference immediately. I spent a week in Florence, so I know the difference ! ;-)

Use wood !!! ;-)

That should be burning pure blue without the yellow tips if burning propane gas, but if butane then there is always a tendancy for the pizza oven burners to burn with slight yellow tips(but these shouldn't emit soot. If soot is emitted as deposits on pizza oven walls along with yellow tips on the flames then there is a problem with the gas/air mix ie there is too much gas and not enough air burning, an adjustment to the aeration screw so that the flames burn pure blue usually does solve this.

Best way to run one of these is to have at least 2, or better, 4x47kg propane cylinders linked to a changeover valve so you have plenty of gas to cook your pizzas!

Propane gas burns hotter than natural gas and has a significantly higher calorific heat value and cooks food quicker.
