Benefits of A Clean Pizza Oven

A pizza oven can be a great addition to any home. In the spring, summer, and fall, an outside pizza oven can be a great place to hang out with family, friends, and guests. Imagine a beautiful 70-degree day, all of the perfect ingredients for a delicious pizza, and your closest friends over for dinner. What could possibly put a damper on this night? A dirty pizza oven that adds time and effort to your process. There are some methods to prevent this from happening, such as maintaining a clean pizza oven ready for any occasion. 

Why Ensure Your Pizza Oven is Clean?

There are a few definite benefits of keeping your pizza oven clean — even if you don’t use it frequently. These are:

• Better tasting, fresh pizza dough.
• Less time when it comes to the day of preparing the pizza.
• Better maintenance for the oven means a better operating pizza oven.
• Potentially increase the life of your pizza oven.

How To Keep Your Pizza Oven Clean?

Your pizza oven stays outside amongst the elements, and they’re built to withstand these elements. However, there are some steps you can take to ensure your pizza oven is ready to go when you are. Below are some tips to help you keep your pizza oven ready to light up.

1. Make sure to use the correct heat source, such as pellets. If your pizza oven uses pellets, you may need to do regular maintenance, such as how you would a traditional pellet stove. You can clean out extra debris, clean off any glass surfaces, or clean the hopper area.
2. Brush off the pizza stone and any other surfaces with excess debris. Over time, debris can build up – whether it’s food debris or debris from the fire, it’s important to stay on top of these. A brush that has stainless steel bristles are the best type to use as they are strong enough to break up even the trickiest debris.
3. Wipe off any remaining debris with a gentle cleaning solution. The stainless-steel brush will likely take care of all debris, but there may still be remaining residue. While it isn’t imperative to clean this off regularly, if you are interested in a more thorough clean you can take the step further and complete this step.
4. If your pizza stove is struggling to ignite or stay ignited, you may need to investigate the heating source and ensure there isn’t debris there either.
