Hello folks,
What do you consider your “must have” accessories for your pizza oven? And, where did you get them?
Anything that you’ve purchased that you don’t care for and why?
What’s not “really” needed, but really nice to have?
For the oven itself, there are three essentials:
- bango peel - in addition to turning pizzas I use it to shuffle burning wood around, and add new chunks when the fire is at the back of the oven.
- brass brush / scraper blade on a long handle for brushing off the brick floor, pushing the wood to the back of the oven
- wooden peel for launching pizzas without any sticking
I also use the following which are nice to have but I could get by without:
- Infrared thermometer. Most of the time I wait for the top of oven bricks to look white / clean as the indicator that the oven is hot enough for pizza
- Regular steel slotted pizza peel for fetching finished pizzas. I use it occasionally, but most of the time my bango peel does the job.
