The TONY has a 5.9 kW burner and a 33 x 33 cm cordierite stone. The Fat TONY has an 8 kW L-shaped burner, dual-zone temperature monitoring and room for pizzas up to 34 cm.
For gardens, terraces and home setups, Bad Axe pizza ovens are wood-fired, quick to light and easy to move. The range covers the compact BlazeBake, the Bad Axe Pizza Oven and a portable stainless steel oven with a 52 x 60 cm cooking space that bakes two 12-inch pizzas at once. Each is a practical home pizza oven for any outdoor space.

Wood or gas: how to choose
| Wood-fired | Gas | |
|---|---|---|
| Flavour | Smoky, charred live-fire flavour and a flame you can see | A clean bake with no smoke flavour |
| Heat-up time (typical) | 20 to 30 minutes for a small oven; an hour or more for a large built oven | About 15 to 20 minutes |
| Temperature control | Managed by feeding the fire, which takes some practice | Turned up and down with a dial |
| Cleaning | Ash to clear and logs to store dry | No ash; keep the burner and stone clean |
| Venue rules | Open wood fires are restricted on some terraces, rooftops and in malls | Often easier to approve, but check building rules |
| Best fit | Pizza-led restaurants, villas and live-fire concepts | Cafés, home terraces and busy kitchens that want speed |
Choose wood if flavour and theatre matter most and you have the space and staff to manage a fire. Choose gas for speed, control and easy cleaning. Many venues run a gas oven for daily service and fire up a wood oven for events.
Fuel for wood-fired pizza ovens
Use only kiln-dried hardwood. Never burn treated, painted or resinous wood such as pine, and avoid damp logs, which smoke and leave soot on the dome. Dry hardwood lights fast, burns hotter and gives a cleaner flame.
- Birch lights quickly, so it is a good wood for building the fire.
- Beech and oak give steady, long-lasting heat once the oven is up to temperature.
- Olive burns hot and adds aroma.
- Acacia brings an oven up to temperature fast and pairs well with beech or olive.

Pizza oven FAQs
Which is better for a restaurant, wood or gas?
It depends on the menu and the site. A pizza-led restaurant that wants live-fire flavour and an open kitchen usually chooses a large wood-fired oven, such as an 800-Firewood custom build. A café or hotel outlet that needs speed, easy cleaning and simpler approvals usually chooses gas.
How hot does a pizza oven need to be?
For Neapolitan-style pizza, typically 400 to 500 °C on the stone, which bakes a pizza in about 60 to 90 seconds. Thicker and pan-style pizzas cook better at a lower heat, typically 250 to 350 °C.
Which firewood should I use in a pizza oven?
Kiln-dried hardwood only. Birch helps light the fire, beech and oak give steady heat, and olive or acacia add heat and aroma. See Which firewood is best? for a full comparison.
Can I use a pizza oven on a balcony or rooftop?
Check your building or venue rules first. Many UAE towers restrict gas cylinders and open flames on balconies. Gas ovens are usually easier to approve than wood on terraces and rooftops, but always follow the site safety rules.
Do Burnhard pizza ovens come with a warranty?
Yes. Burnhard pizza ovens come with a 2-year warranty. For other brands, ask us about the warranty on your model.
Do you supply pizza ovens to hotels, restaurants and caterers?
Yes. We supply pizza ovens and the firewood to run them across the UAE, and we can advise on oven size and fuel. Send a trade enquiry for pricing and availability.
