The Best Pizza Wood for Alfa Forni Ovens

es. Alfa’s hybrid kits allow you to start the oven with gas and then add wood for flavor. Our kiln‑dried splits ignite easily and transition seamlessly from gas to wood heat.

Seasoned logs can still contain 20 % or more moisture, leading to steam, smoke and inconsistent heat. Kiln‑dried wood is dried to <10 % moisture, so it lights easily and burns cleaner.

Oak provides a clean, mild smoke that complements dough and toppings without overpowering them. It’s the most versatile species for pizza.

1. Build a small fire using one or two splits in the firebox.
2. Ignite with kindling or fire starters.
3. Add additional splits as needed and wait until the stone reaches baking temperature.
4. Maintain heat with small, consistent additions between bakes, keeping the flame to one side and rotating pizzas.
