Does this super heat the room? Making pizza is usually a fall/winter endeavor in my house because the gas oven produces too much ambient heat.

No it's not too bad. We use it all year round and don't get bothered by the heat.

I too am not a fan of using my stove in the summer. I have not found this pizza maker to be excessively hot. Also, you don't have to worry about heating the oven for a long period of time; it heats and cooks quickly.

The pizza maker gets pretty hot, but I haven't really noticed it heating the room.

It does heat your room some, because the outside of the unit gets hot to the touch. I do not think it heats the room as much as an oven would.

Yes. Each oven has a seperate temperature. The top preheated a lot quicker which is nice if you just want to throw a pizza in. The bottom oven is a lot bigger. It will be perfect for the upcoming holidays having two ovens. I think the oven vents from the back. Hope this helps!

Yes! And it makes my kitchen very warm from all the hot air. Great in the winter, not so great in the summer. But it's worth it. It wouldn't be any different than your apartment smelling like whatever you cook for dinner.

No, it doesn't make the room hot. I cook my pizza in it now. It does a great job. A very good item...wish I had gotten it a lot sooner!

LOL! Do you like to smell pizza cooking? Yes, it is as good as the food you cook. BUT, on the positive side, once you eat the food, no more smell!! My office is next to subway..so I smell food all day long. I love this pizza oven.

You can make the pizza right on it! I like to make the crust and bake it for a few minutes and then take it out of the oven to load it up and then pop it back in to finish!

Absolutely. I live in Michigan and I wouldn't have bought this oven if it wouldn't work outside in the winter. Just make sure it's placed under a roof of some sort to keep the weather off of it. Have fun, and enjoy the pizza it makes....

I like the fact that I dont have to use my big oven for alot of cooking. Some things wont fit but slot does. It saves energy and the convection cooks very well. My least favorite is that a 12 inch pizza pan wont fit. I had to buy the tin flexible ones and bend the corners up just a bit. But still makes great pizza.

We have had no problems at all with that. We love our pizza oven and it does a great job.

Sorry, we only eat frozen pizza in slices we purchase from Sams. It does a beautiful job with those. It is basically a small verdion of an expensive full size oven. Very easy to use!

I agree with others who say this oven gets very hot, especially the glass door. The housing is all metal and it heats up when the oven is on. It is too hot to touch, so I would say this is not a good choice if that type of heat is a concern. Sorry, because it is such a good item in other respects.

When you set the oven on "keep warm" it is a regular oven with the lower elements heating only and no fan running. When you set the oven to "convection" the fan comes on and the lower and upper elements both heat. The oven works just like the icons show at the setting knob on the front of unit. The short answer is yes it can. P.S. I like this oven-it does everything I need and I use it every day!

I do not see a problem with that as long as you keep the wind off it. Mine will reach 900 on a hot day, but I have found that 900 is to hot to cook a pizza in this oven. Mine come out good at around 700-800. At 900 I completely burned one up. This oven takes a little practice to get use to baking with it. I believe my review will help you if you buy the proper size peel for this item. I had trouble with my dough raising to much causing it to undercooked in this oven. I have ordered a pizza docker. Which does not pierce the dough, but rather pinches it together like the two side of a quilt. This helps keep the dough from raising to much when baking. Hope this helps you!

I would not recommend using this pizza oven in your home as it is designed for outdoor use only. Major concerns I would have using this pizza oven indoors would be carbon monoxide poisoning and explosion/fire. Propane is heavier then air and if there is a gas leak, the gas tends to pool down by the floor where it can be easily ignited.

dear Jan, as I see it, there is NO difference what so ever. This oven is wonderful! one tip, whether baking or using convection in oven, this puppy is a bit quick! My banana bread was too brown on top and still gooey in middle.. frozen pizza works amazing! cooks in3/4 the time... hope this helps....thanks, Tim

I use it on my gas range with no problems but never tried the oven. I would recommend asking the manufacturer. I love this pan and would highly recommend it.
