About the Product
The Dellonda range of portable pizza ovens are
the ideal companions for any outdoor cooking
experience, whether it be large social gatherings
away from home or an al fresco snack from
the comfort of your own garden. Our portable,
lightweight pizza ovens put the fun into cooking
a variety of foods (not just pizza), including sh,
meat, vegetables and much more. Extremely
versatile they are also capable of smoking food
using a detachable smoking cap that is included.
An ideal maximum temperature range of 350-380°C
enables you to cook your food just the way you
like it. We recognise that people’s tastes vary and
with that in mind the resourceful DG10/11 pizza
oven can be fuelled by either charcoal, hardwood
or efcient and sustainable hard wood pellets (not
included). We nd that the optimum fuel is a mix
of wood pellets with ne kindling and that natural
re lighters are great for getting the re going. The
DG10/11 is supplied with a stainless steel pizza
paddle which easily aids the transfer of food to
the cordierite stone board waiting inside which has
been specically engineered to withstand the high
cooking temperatures. An optional cover/carry
bag is available to purchase to protect the oven
from adverse weather conditions when not in use
and to aid transportation (Model No. DG12). Not
recommended for use in strong winds.

fault, if desired the product can be repainted
using high temperature resistant paint
