You don’t have to have wood for proper bottom char, you need temperature. 650-700F on the bottom stone, as measured by an IR gun thermometer, is what I shoot for.
But I get the prepper aspects of a wood oven, for sure.
Good to know (700 degrees = char).I didn’t realize there was a pizza making forum! I’ll be checking it out, and looking for a wood oven and wood bookstore forum, when I get set up. I’m also looking at a wood stove (heating) that I can use the cooktop for boiling. I want to find a wood cookstove to put next to the pizza oven, but that may not materialize since hubby might think I’ve gone off the deep end. but I can still practice cooking on a campfire ;)
