Whether you own a wood-fired brick oven, a gas-powered model, or a portable outdoor unit, understanding how to maintain and use it properly keeps your oven functioning well and your pizzas cooking evenly. These ovens require different care routines than indoor appliances—from managing heat sources to protecting the cooking surface from weather and buildup.
