Can this oven get up to 800 or 900 degrees like other wood-fired ovens?

I think that would be tough. I have gotten mine to 500-600 degrees. Possibly in the hot summer months but the manufacturer doesn't recommend taking it above 700 degrees. Check out this page: http://pizzaoven.ecoque.com/faq.html

Hi Adam,No, it can't because it doesn't need to. The ovens you are referring to rely upon large amounts of Thermal mass and big fires. The stored radiant heat coming off of that Thermal mass is what you cook with. With our oven, you'll achieve great results on the stone in the 500 to 600 degree range and most breads are baked between 350 and 400. The fire burns below the stones and then surrounds the oven on the sides and top before leaving through the upper smoking oven.

Not sure but racks and ovens running at tips greater than 200 degrees. Contact for her have been accidental brushes. Hope that helps

Absolutely 35 degrees is nothing....Think of it like this...the heat needs to collect under the dome of the oven to reach a good cooking temperature. The only thing that would disrupt this would be gusty winds so just keep it out of the wind....Oh lord my sister just chimed in she said " it's like blowing on a hot muffin of course its going to cool off" ...Also as hot as this oven can get I don't think you'll have any problem even with a little wind.

As far as I know, yes. I plan on using mine in my oven. It has a temp rating to above 500deg and I doubt anyone will be cooking any roasts at that high a temp.

Yes it can. But mine did not work. At that price, I chose not to bother with returning it. No matter how hot the oven, it ever registered over 200°.

That would be a good question for the manufacturer. I would not hesitate to put it in the oven at 450 but most recipes do call for lower temps. This the type bakeware my mother used for everything and why I purchased it rather han spending a hundred dollars on other types. Be aware though that it does not come with a rack for the bottom.

I have used my 732 in oven. found out oven was running higher temperature. Sure helped with baking.

The real answer is I don't know. The construction of the pan is very good. It is heavy and solidly built. I assume your wood fired oven has a stone of some sort. I can't think of a reason that it wouldn't be alright in that situation. If you were placing it directly on coals or if it was exposed to open flames it might be an issue. I use it at 550°F in a regular oven without issue. I suppose it is possible that it might warp or the coating might be damaged at high enough temperatures. Long way of saying, I don't know.

I have not used it in other than my regular oven. It is ceramic and designed for low-moderate heat cooking over a longer period of time. I have used it successfully many times in my oven at a temperature of up to 350 (F) because that's what the recipe called for. I think I would opt for a cast iron Dutch oven for use on a wood stove rather than this ceramic pot. But that is just my opinion.

My guess is yes you can. I have had it on 425 I did not have a recipe that called for 500 degrees, I looked at the pamphlet that came with the dutch oven and it mentions so limit on cooking so I think you can. There is a customer service contact number which you may want to call. 800-497-4959. Good Luck! I love my Dutch Oven!

According to Lodge web site enameled dutch oven can handle oven temperatures of 500 degrees. So I do believe the L8D0L3 can handle 500 degrees also. You can always contact Lodge customer service and ask them to be sure.

I don't know. But I do love this piece and use it a lot. Have never used it at that high of a temp. I would call Lodge and ask.

I can consistently get to 750° in 15 minutes. The challenge is to balance the stone temp and the temp above the pizza which is where the installed themomiter is located. All in all with practice this is as good as any wood stove with lots less hassle and waiting time.

I do not know. We have used it in our house for over a year. When using it as a reg oven it will get hot on the outside.

I would recommend following the guidelines for oven use. I've never tried it myself but another person has answered that it's safe up to 400 degrees. Take into consideration your particular oven if you intend to try that, since temperatures vary in degrees of heat.

I don't remember the manufacturer's recommendation, but we have had our oven at 475`and 500` without any incident whatsoever. Though we have never moved it out of the oven while it is that hot. Hope this helps you out. Patricia

I have not used it in the oven yet but i think it is supposed to tolerate up to 450 degrees
