The Ooni Fyra is most popular among those looking to make wood-fired, personal sized Neapolitan style pizza. This is the same style of pizza being targeted by Big Horn, and for good reason – Neapolitan pizza has grown enormously in terms of popularity over recent years. This pizza oven comes with basic instructions on how to use it, but they’re not very comprehensive, and there is a learning curve involved before you can get the best results, as there is with all pizza ovens. Another major difference between Ooni and Big Horn is the simple fact that Ooni carries 6 different pizza oven models while Big Horn carries one. And while simplicity is sometimes a blessing, Ooni offers a pizza oven for all different pizza preferences and at nearly every price point, including a couple that very closely match the Big Horn pizza oven. But with the cheaper price of the Big Horn (especially if you can get it on sale), it might be worth it to you to maintain it well and hope that it doesn’t break. In either case, the choice is yours. Big Horn May Be A Good Choice For Some Ooni ovens are better designed for performance and longevity while Big Horn is more of a bare bones pizza oven.

If you’re buying an oven only for yourself, you can permanently settle for a smaller one. However, if you’re buying a pizza oven for you and your family, you need to choose a large pizza oven. Durability Our pellet pizza oven is ready to cook in 18 minutes. It reaches temperatures up to 860°F (460°C), cooking delicious pizza in 90 seconds or less, as well as roasting steaks, fish, lamp chops, burgers, salmon and vegetable dishes and so much moreSo, despite both Ooni and Big Horn claiming to fit a 12 inch pizza, it actually comes down to the difference between a small and a medium sized pizza between the two of then. Once your pizza is cooked – around 2 minutes – remove it from the oven and enjoy. Allow the fire to burn out, and let the oven cool down completely before cleaning. Cooking multiple pizzas

This oven is easily compatible with different kinds of fuels such as wood chips, pellets, and charcoal. The outside of this oven gets very hot, don’t touch any part of it except the wooden door handle once the fire is lit. Be sure to use the tool provided for opening the pellet hopper and fire tray. Compared to other pizza ovens, the Ooni Pro pizza oven is slightly heavy. It weighs less than 70 lbs. Furthermore, it has a very compact design that will allow you to lift and store the oven when not in use. You can fold the chimneys and clips to ensure the proper movement of ovens. Features The Ooni Pro 16 is a multi-fueled pizza oven as well, meaning it can be started up with charcoal and gas in addition to wood. Multi-fuel is an amazing feature because it means different fuels can be used for different kinds of pizza and even weather conditions. For example, a lower temperature gas flame is perfect for New York style pizza, while a high temperature flame fueled by wood is amazing for Neapolitan.Furthermore, it will also produce less ash as compared to other pellets. If you’re considering BBQs, then woodlets can serve the purpose perfectly. Should you close the door to the pizza oven? If your pellets aren’t burning hot enough and you start to see smoke instead of flames coming out of the chimney, open the door and the cover of the pellet hopper simultaneously and boost the fire with a blast of oxygen. Close it up again once you see flames.

The pellets are made of hardwood, so they still give off that delicious aroma while burning and infuse food with the authentic, smoky wood-fired flavor. Size and Weight Ooni has the rare distinction of being the only manufacturer to carry a pizza oven “Recommended for Domestic Use” by the AVPN, or the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana in Naples, Italy.The brilliance of the Ooni Fyra’s gravity fed system is that by minimizing the amount of pellets in the burning tray at any given time, good air flow is ensured and the flame stays strong without growing out of control. Final Verdict: If you want to spend the least money possible, get the Big Horn pizza oven. If, however, you want the best quality pizza oven experience, save up a little extra and get the Ooni Fyra 12 or Pro 16 instead. The Big Horn is cheap but not cheap enough to justify it over Ooni, especially when Ooni’s extended warranty, rich feature set, and quality control are superior. Main Take Aways:
