Does a commercial pizza oven need to be vented?
Most pizza ovens are like people. By that, we don’t mean that they have health insurance and pay mortgages and take long walks along the beach – we’re talking about their need to be ventilated. Humans need air and, in most cases, commercial pizza ovens need air too. That’s why you’ll see wood-fired pizza ovens blowing smoke out of the chimneys, along smoke to be vented out. So, with this in mind, surely it would be impossible for a commercial pizza oven to need no venting, right? You might be pleasantly surprised…
Gas-fired and wood-fired ovens
Traditional wood-fired ovens as well as gas-fired ovens need to be vented. Smoke builds up inside the chamber when the fire is burning and the pizza is cooking – and if there’s no way for the smoke to escape, you’ll end up with a pretty nasty-tasting pizza. It’s also a serious safety hazard, risking a building up of heat and smoke.
