Hey fellow outdoor cooking enthusiasts!
So, I recently got my hands on the Bertello 12 Inch Wood & Gas Pizza Oven, and I’ve got to say, it was love at first slice. If my grill could talk, it would probably be feeling a little jealous right about now. This nifty little device has turned my backyard into the local pizzeria β minus the questionable accordion player.
First Impressions: The Bertello is a compact beast. It looks like a mini spaceship, ready to launch a pizza into the flavor stratosphere. I’ve been experimenting with both wood and gas options, trying to find my pizza nirvana. For those who love a good wood-fired crust, you won’t be disappointed. There’s something magical about the aroma and that crispy base that comes from wood-fired heat. But don’t get me wrong, the gas option is no slouch. It’s like the efficient workhorse that delivers consistent results, and honestly, a godsend when I’m short on patience.
Here’s what I’ve found:
- Cooks fast: I swear, I blinked, and my first pizza was done. Under 10 minutes with either wood or gas, and you’re biting into a masterpiece.
- Versatile: You’re not limited to pizzas β I’ve tried veggies, meats, and even some adventurous desserts.
- Portability: This thing is a game-changer for camping β just need to convince my partner that pizza is an acceptable breakfast food.
Pro tip: With the wood option, the trick is getting the technique right. You know you’ve got it down when your neighbors start looking over the fence asking if they can trade a beer for a slice.
So, has anyone else tried the Bertello 12 Inch Wood & Gas? I’m curious to see if others have tips or if you’ve experimented with different kinds of woods or toppings. I’m especially keen on hearing about unique creations. Letβs face it, when it comes to pizza, we’re only limited by our imaginations… and maybe the size of our ovens.
