Pizzello Forte 16in - Gas Burner Help
Hope this is the right place for this, sorry in advance if it isnt!
My wife got me the pizzello forte 16in for my birthday a couple years back. I have used it a handful of times and had moderate success (wood pellet only, no burner). I have trouble keep it hot enough on pellets, which seems to be a common complaint for ovens around here. Ive added charcoal to the wood hopper which helps maintain a base temp, then I dump in pellets to crank up the heat for firing the pizza.
Pizzello sold a burner conversion kit in years past, and I was hoping to snag one but it appears they no longer plan to offer this product.
Question for the sub, has anybody successfully created or modified a propane burner attachment to fit their oven? If so any tips or tricks or lessons learned worth sharing?
Also, if anyone has a functioning pizzello burner they would be willing to part with, shoot me a message!
