A patio oven is a compact outdoor cooker that runs hotter than a kettle barbecue, so a pizza on a stone can finish in about one to two minutes once the stone is hot. Shoppers also call it an outdoor pizza oven. In the UK you buy one for a garden or patio, on bottled gas, pellets, small wood, wood with charcoal, or mains electricity. A cover, a stand or a peel on its own is not an oven. Gas needs that oven’s regulator and hose. The usual propane reference is 37 mbar, and a 50 mbar regulator is the wrong fitting. Electric needs 230 V and a UK plug. A 33 cm stone is about 13 inches. Owner notes often say 15 to 30 minutes before the first pizza, not one minute from cold. Keep the fire outdoors. A balcony line is not permission to cook under a roof, in a tent or in a caravan. The checks are in the [patio oven buying guide](/hub/grills-and-barbecues/patio-oven/sub/patio-oven-buying-guide).

The best Patio ovens in detail

WEELOO 11 inch pellet pizza oven

Rank 1

WEELOO 11 inch pellet pizza oven

∼£89

Our view

The WEELOO 11-inch pellet pizza oven is about £88.99 with a 5.0 from three reviews, foldable legs, and an 11-inch stone plus thermometer in the title. It scores 69. Bullets describe wood pellets; the fuel field says charcoal and wood, and the one UK review in the file says to use only pellets. That review praises fast heat and the pizzas, and it names no fault, so the 5.0 rests on a thin file. Dimensions print about 81 × 36.5 × 67.5 cm at 10 kg. A balcony line appears in a bullet and is not lease permission. It is the best value among ovens that still score at least 50, because the shelf price is low and the score per pound leads once the fuel-field conflict is deducted.

Pros

  • About £88.99 with foldable legs and an 11-inch stone in the title
  • 5.0 from 3 reviews; the saved UK review names no fault
  • 10 kg printed weight, lighter than several chimney ovens in this set

Cons

  • Only three reviews, so the star line is thin evidence
  • Fuel field says charcoal and wood while bullets say pellets
  • A balcony bullet is not permission to cook there

Best for: A buyer who wants a cheap pellet oven, will run pellets only, and accepts three reviews as enough to buy.

Less suitable: Anyone who needs a deep UK fault file, a settled fuel field, or a kit that already includes a peel and rain cover.

Common questions

Pellets or charcoal?

The bullets describe a wood-pellet oven. The fuel field says charcoal and wood. The one UK review in the file says to use only pellets.

Can you use it on a balcony?

A bullet names a balcony, a patio, a garden and camping. That line is not a lease permission, and a fuel oven still stays outdoors.

How solid is the 5.0?

The listing says 5.0 from 3 reviews. The saved file has one UK review, and that review does not name a fault.

Goods Emporium pellet pizza oven

Rank 2

Goods Emporium pellet pizza oven

∼£105

Our view

The Goods Emporium GE-PO-001 pellet pizza oven is about £104.99 with 4.6 from seven reviews, a 12.5 kg weight field, and a kit line that lists a pizza peel, a pizza stone and a rain cover. It scores 74. Foldable legs and a removable chimney sit in the bullets, with a claim of cooking temperature in 15 minutes. Four UK reviews are in the file: some call it sturdy and mostly built on arrival, one found it too heavy, and two had not cooked yet, so heat faults are not documented here. Dimensions print 51 × 40 × 77 cm, so the chimney makes it tall for a small table. It is the kit-heavy pellet option under £110 when you want a cover and peel and will accept a seven-review file.

Pros

  • Peel, stone and rain cover on the included-components line
  • 4.6 from 7 reviews at about £104.99
  • Foldable legs and a removable chimney in the bullets

Cons

  • Only seven reviews, and two of the four UK notes had not cooked yet
  • 12.5 kg felt too heavy for one UK buyer
  • 77 cm height with the chimney is tall for a low table

Best for: A pellet buyer who wants peel and cover in the box and accepts a thin seven-review file.

Less suitable: Anyone who needs hundreds of UK cooks on record, or a low chimney-free box for a tight shelf.

Common questions

What is in the box?

Is 12.5 kg light enough to move alone?

The weight field says 12.5 kg. One of the four UK reviews says it was too heavy for that buyer. Two reviews had not cooked yet.

Does the balcony line mean you can use it there?

A bullet names patios, balconies and backyard kitchens. Check the lease. The fuel is wood pellets, so it is still an outdoor fire.

Q Pizza wood and charcoal oven

Rank 3

Q Pizza wood and charcoal oven

∼£356

Our view

The Q Pizza PS107 is listed at about £355.97 with 4.5 from eight reviews, foldable legs, and a kit that names a charcoal pan, chimney, door and pizza stone. It scores 55. The title says wood and charcoal; the fuel field says wood; the model name mentions a rotating stone without stating how it is powered. The three review bodies in the file are from the United States and Canada, so the star line is not UK experience. One US review warns against a plastic table and points at granite, cement or the ground. At 13 kg and 63.5 × 36.8 × 73.7 cm it is mid-weight with a tall chimney. It is only a wood or charcoal option if you accept no UK review text and the highest shelf price in this set.

Pros

  • Title covers wood and charcoal; charcoal pan and stone in the box list
  • 13 kg with foldable legs and a detachable chimney
  • 4.5 from 8 reviews on the listing aggregate

Cons

  • Saved review text is from the US and Canada, not the UK
  • Highest price in this set at about £355.97
  • Fuel field says wood only; rotation power is not stated

Best for: A buyer who specifically wants wood or charcoal in this set and will treat the star line as non-UK evidence.

Less suitable: Anyone who needs British owner reviews, gas convenience, or a lower shelf price.

Are the reviews from the UK?

The star line is 4.5 from 8. The saved review text is from the United States and Canada, so it is not UK experience.

Can it sit on a plastic table?

A US review says to use granite, cement or the ground, not a plastic table. That is a heat warning from outside the UK, not a British test of this model.

NutriChef rotating gas pizza oven

Rank 4

NutriChef rotating gas pizza oven

∼£180

Our view

The NutriChef UK-NCPIZRT44 is a gas patio oven at about £179.99 with a rotating stone, peel, regulator and hose in the kit, and 4.2 from 388 reviews, the largest review file in this set. It scores 80. One UK review says it took about 20 to 30 minutes to reach temperature, then the turntable helped the cook stay even, which undercuts the 60-second bullet until the stone is hot. Another UK review says the base received was aluminium, not the stainless the box suggested, and one unit arrived without the rotating stone and peel. Sharp edges and a peel that measured wider than stated also appear. At 12 kg and 64 × 40.9 × 35.6 cm it is among the lower gas boxes here. It is the top pick when you want bottled gas, a stated turntable, and a deep amazon.co.uk review file, provided you check the metal and the kit on arrival.

Pros

  • Gas with rotating stone, peel, regulator and hose in the kit
  • 4.2 from 388 reviews, the largest file in this comparison
  • 12 kg body and foldable legs; lower height than the pellet chimneys

Cons

  • UK review says the base was aluminium, not the stainless suggested
  • One unit arrived without rotating stone and peel
  • Bullet says 60 seconds; a UK review needed about 20–30 minutes to temperature first

Best for: A garden cook who wants gas, a rotating stone, and a large UK review file, and who will inspect the base metal and kit on arrival.

Less suitable: Anyone without outdoor space for a bottle, or who needs a mains-free oven with no regulator to store.

Is the body stainless steel?

The material field says carbon steel and the door field says stainless steel. A UK review says the base received was aluminium, not the stainless the box suggested.

Does it really cook in 60 seconds?

That figure is a bullet for after the stone is hot. One UK review says it took about 20 to 30 minutes to reach temperature, and that the turntable then helped the cook stay even.

Mimiuo pellet and wood pizza oven

Rank 5

Mimiuo pellet and wood pizza oven

∼£150

Our view

The Mimiuo classic W-Oven at about £149.99 is the pellet and wood row with a 33 cm cordierite stone, a foldable peel, and 4.2 from 184 reviews. It scores 76. Bullets say no auto-rotate on this classic series, foldable legs, a removable chimney, and up to 500°C in under 10 minutes. UK reviewers often assemble it quickly and get a first pizza within about 15 minutes of lighting, though several say it burns a lot of wood or chips. Recurring UK complaints include a hopper lid that would not close, a stone that cracked after two uses, a chimney that would not seat, and one oven that stalled near 370 in the unit the reviewer wrote, with flame from the pellet drawer. At 15.2 kg and 67.1 × 35.1 × 76.2 cm it is a two-person lift for many people once the stone is in. The part number on the UK listing prints EU.

Pros

  • 4.2 from 184 reviews, the deepest pellet file in this set
  • 33 cm cordierite stone and a foldable peel in the kit
  • Tool-free assembly claim with foldable legs and a removable chimney

Cons

  • No auto-rotate; you turn the pizza by hand
  • UK reviews report hopper lids that will not close and a cracked stone
  • 15.2 kg and a tall chimney; part number prints EU on a UK listing

Best for: A pellet cook who wants smoke, will turn the pizza, and wants enough UK reviews to read the hopper and stone faults before buying.

Less suitable: Anyone who wants a dial and no ash, or who needs a turntable and will not tend a hopper.

No. The bullet says the classic W-Oven series has no auto-rotating system. You turn the pizza.

Do you need tools to build it?

The bullet says it assembles in minutes with no tools, following the manual. Foldable legs and a removable chimney are part of that claim.

What do UK reviews say goes wrong?

Reviews describe a hopper lid that would not close, a stone that cracked after two uses, a chimney that would not seat, and one oven that would not get past about 370 in the unit the reviewer wrote.

Mimiuo gas pizza oven

Rank 6

Mimiuo gas pizza oven

∼£190

Our view

The Mimiuo 6067 gas pizza oven is about £189.99 with a UK gas regulator in the title, a 13-inch square cordierite stone, a peel, and 4.2 from 152 reviews. It scores 73. UK cooks often report about 15 to 20 minutes of preheat and a pizza in about 60 to 90 seconds once the stone is hot. The same UK file includes regulators that were faulty or broke, an ignitor dead out of the box or by the fourth use, and one hose that caught fire at the coupling after five uses. One reviewer says a 12-inch base does not really fit and that the rear flame burns the near edge. The attribute block also prints 6 watts, which is not cooking power. At 14.3 kg and 37.6 × 63.5 × 30.5 cm it is a low gas box if you will check the regulator and hose before every cook.

Pros

  • UK gas regulator named in the title; 13-inch stone and peel in the kit
  • 4.2 from 152 reviews, with UK cooks describing 15–20 minute preheats
  • Low height at 30.5 cm compared with pellet chimneys in this set

Cons

  • UK reviews report faulty regulators and a hose fire at the coupling
  • Ignitors dead out of the box or failing early
  • A 12-inch base may not fit; rear flame can burn the near edge

Best for: A gas cook who wants a non-rotating Mimiuo with a UK regulator in the title and will replace a bad regulator rather than ignore hose wear.

Less suitable: Anyone who wants a turntable, or who will not check hose and regulator condition before lighting.

Will a 12-inch pizza fit?

The bullet says a 13-inch stone. One UK review says a 12-inch base does not really fit and that the flame at the back burns the near edge.

Does it need tools?

The bullet says it assembles and installs in minutes with no tools, following the instructions in the box.

Mimiuo rotating gas pizza oven

Rank 7

Mimiuo rotating gas pizza oven

∼£240

Our view

The Mimiuo F-BRK6075-BK1-UK is the rotating gas oven at about £239.99 with 4.1 from 55 reviews, a 13-inch stone, foldable peel, cover, and a UK gas regulator in the title. It scores 65. When the turntable works, UK reviewers like the even cook and the roughly one to two minute pizza once hot. UK reviews also say the turntable needs a mains socket that the description and manual they saw did not mention, and several report a turntable that never turns, including a broken spot weld on first use and a second unit with the same fault. One review describes an electric shock from the stone when it was switched on. The attribute prints 1,500 W beside power source gas, and the width field prints 25.4 cm beside a 13-inch stone. At 15.3 kg it sits near the two-person lift line.

Pros

  • Automatic rotating stone claimed in the bullets when it works
  • 13-inch stone, peel and cover in the kit; UK regulator in the title
  • 4.1 from 55 reviews, with UK cooks describing even heat when the turntable runs

Cons

  • UK reviews say the turntable needs mains and often fails to turn
  • One UK review reports an electric shock from the stone
  • 1,500 W printed beside gas; width 25.4 cm beside a 13-inch stone

Best for: A gas cook who wants a stated turntable, has an outdoor socket for it, and will return a unit that does not rotate on first use.

Less suitable: Anyone without a safe outdoor socket, or who wants gas without a second power lead.

Reviews describe a turntable that does not turn, a spot weld that broke on first use, a second unit with the same fault, and one electric shock from the stone when it was switched on.

What is in the box?

The kit line lists a 13-inch pizza stone, a 12 by 14 inch foldable peel and a protective cover. The title also names a UK gas regulator.

Cozze 13 inch electric pizza oven

Rank 8

Cozze 13 inch electric pizza oven

∼£258

Our view

The Cozze 90355 is the mains patio oven at about £257.86 with 230 V, 2,200 W, a 1.8 m UK plug, a 34.5 cm cordierite stone, a front door, and IPX4 splash wording. It scores 59. amazon.co.uk shows 3.9 from 144 reviews, but the 50 reviews in the saved file are from Germany, Italy, Spain and similar markets, and none from the United Kingdom. Non-UK reviewers praise pizza after practice and also report element, thermostat and power-trip failures. A German review says the manual forbids indoor use. The included-components line says Grill while the title names a pizza stone and front cover. At 20.2 kg and 53 × 53 × 29 cm it is the heaviest low box in this set. It is the no-bottle row if the outdoor wording fits and you accept a star line without UK review text.

Pros

  • 230 V, 2,200 W and a 1.8 m UK plug stated in the bullets
  • 34.5 cm cordierite stone and a front door; low 29 cm height
  • No gas bottle to store if outdoor electric cooking is allowed

Cons

  • No UK review text in a file of 50 reviews
  • Non-UK reviews report element, thermostat and trip failures
  • 20.2 kg; components line says Grill against a stone in the title

Best for: An outdoor cook who will not store a gas bottle, has a suitable outdoor socket, and accepts non-UK review evidence on this ASIN.

Less suitable: Indoor cooks, anyone who needs UK owner text, or a light oven under 15 kg.

The title says a pizza stone and a front cover. The included-components line says Grill. Those two lines do not match.

DYUEE 11 inch pellet pizza oven

Rank 9

DYUEE 11 inch pellet pizza oven

∼£81

Our view

The DYUEE 11-inch pellet pizza oven is listed at about £80.99 with foldable legs, a pizza stone and a thermometer in the kit line, and a bullet that claims stone-baked pizza in 15 minutes. It scores 3. The saved amazon.co.uk page has no star line and no review text, so there is no UK owner record of heat, ash or build. The item-weight field says 1 kg while a bullet says a 10 kg build, and the same capture prints 2,500 W and 240 V on a pellet oven. Those figures conflict with wood-pellet fuel and are not a reason to plug the oven in. Dimensions print 46 × 33 × 66 cm. It is only a cheap pellet trial if you accept a listing with no reviews and two unresolved spec conflicts. A missing star line does not win on price.

Pros

  • Pellet fuel in the bullets, with stone and thermometer named in the kit line
  • Foldable legs and an 11-inch title size at about £80.99
  • Bullet claims stone-baked pizza in 15 minutes

Cons

  • No star line and no review text on the saved page
  • Weight prints as 1 kg and as 10 kg
  • Attributes also print 2,500 W and 240 V on a pellet oven

Best for: A buyer who wants the cheapest pellet box in this set and will treat every printed watt and weight figure as suspect until the oven is checked outdoors.

Less suitable: Anyone who needs UK reviews, a settled weight, or a listing without fake mains figures.

Common questions

Does this pellet oven need mains?

The bullets say natural wood pellets. The same capture prints 2,500 watts and 240 volts. Treat those two figures as a bad attribute block, not as a reason to plug it in.

The bullet says a 10 kg build. The item-weight field says 1 kg. Both numbers are on the saved listing, and the page does not say which one to trust.

The saved page has no star line and no review text, so there is no UK review count to quote.

How we compared

Nine amazon.co.uk patio oven listings were scored from 0 to 100. Stars contribute up to 40: round(stars divided by 5, times 40). A 4.2 scores 34. A 5.0 scores 40. No star line scores 0. Review volume contributes up to 20, from 0 with no reviews to 20 at 1,000 or more. Listing fit contributes up to 25 for a stated fuel, a stone or pizza size, the UK connection, the kit, and rotation or foldable legs with a preheat claim. Sentiment contributes up to 15 from the written reviews. Deductions then apply for a missing star line, review text that is not from the United Kingdom, and buying conflicts such as a fake watt figure or a weight printed two ways. The top pick is the NutriChef UK-NCPIZRT44, score 80, at about £179.99. Best value is the WEELOO pellet oven, score 69, at about £88.99, the strongest score per pound among rows at 50 or above. This is not a lab cook, a Gas Safe certificate, or a measured stone temperature.

The UK connection scores 6 for a regulator or hose, a stated UK plug, or a clean pellet or wood row, and less where pressure is absent or a pellet row also prints mains watts. Kit scores 4. Rotation, an explicit no-rotate line, or foldable legs with a preheat claim scores 4.

4

Sentiment

15%

Up to 15 points from written reviews. No review text scores 0. Review bodies that are not from the United Kingdom score 4, then lose a further 6. A thin UK file of about seven reviews or fewer, with no major fault named, scores 8. A substantial UK set that still records recurring faults scores 10. A strong UK file with only mild complaints would score 12. None of these points is a timed cook.

Patio oven buying guide

Choose the fuel and the UK connection before the star count. A patio oven is a hot outdoor box with a stone, not a cover or a peel on its own. Gas needs that oven’s regulator and hose. Pellets and wood need no fake mains figures. Electric needs 230 V and a UK plug. Shelf prices in this set run from about £80.99 to about £355.97. A 4.2 from 388 reviews is a different record from 5.0 from three reviews. The stone has to fit the pizza, and the one-minute bullet starts only after the stone is hot.

What is a patio oven?

A patio oven is a small outdoor cooker with a stone or floor that you heat until a pizza cooks in about one to two minutes. It is hotter and more enclosed than a kettle barbecue. Shoppers also call it an outdoor pizza oven. The fuels on this kind of listing are bottled gas, wood pellets, small wood, wood with charcoal, or mains electricity. A cover, a stand or a peel sold alone is not an oven. Fuel and the UK connection come first. A gas oven needs the regulator and hose made for that oven.

Best for

  • A garden cook who wants a hot stone for pizza and will keep the fire outdoors
  • A household choosing bottled gas, pellets or a UK plug, and checking the kit before the first light

Not ideal for

  • Anyone lighting gas, pellets, wood or charcoal indoors, in a tent, under an awning or in a caravan
  • A buyer who needs a multi-burner gas barbecue or a kettle for sausages rather than a pizza stone

Mistakes to avoid

  1. 1

    Launching because a bullet says 60 seconds

    That minute, where cooks report it, starts after the stone is hot. Listings often say 10 to 15 minutes. UK gas and pellet reviews often say 15 to 30 minutes. Five minutes is not a preheat.

  2. 2

    Buying on the diameter alone

    A 33 cm stone is about 13 inches. One UK gas review says a 12-inch base does not really fit, because the rear flame burns the near edge. Read the opening, not only the title size.

  3. 3

    Using a barbecue regulator, or trusting stainless against the review

    Gas needs the regulator supplied for that oven. 37 mbar propane is the reference, and 50 mbar is wrong. A UK review of the gas top pick says the base was aluminium, not the stainless the box suggested.

What to weigh up

Fuel and the UK connection

High

Fuel decides the connection you have to get right. Bottled gas needs the regulator and hose supplied for that oven. The propane reference for this kind of patio gas is 37 mbar. A 50 mbar regulator is the wrong fitting, even if a barbecue hose seems to couple. A small patio bottle is often a 27 mm clip-on. A larger cylinder is POL. Pressure is not printed on every gas listing, so the words UK regulator in a title do not prove the millibar.

Stone, preheat and lift weight

High

The stone, the peel and the opening decide the pizza, not the diameter in the title alone. A 33 cm stone is about 13 inches. One UK gas review still says a 12-inch base does not really fit, because the rear flame burns the near edge. If the kit does not name a peel, you are buying one. A cover on the included line is in the box. A components line that says only grill, against a stone in the title, is a mismatch. Preheat is how long the stone takes, not the one-minute bullet.

Which option suits you?

Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.

Gas, with a dial and no ash

You want bottled gas, a rotating stone, and a large UK review file. The NutriChef UK-NCPIZRT44 is about £179.99, at 4.2 from 388 reviews, score 80, with peel, regulator and hose in the kit. A UK review says the base was aluminium, and that preheat took about 20 to 30 minutes. Check the metal and the kit on arrival.

Smoke, and a pellet file you can read

You want pellets or small wood and enough UK reviews to see hopper and stone faults. The Mimiuo classic is about £149.99, at 4.2 from 184 reviews, score 76, with a 33 cm stone and no auto-rotate. UK notes include a hopper lid that would not close and a stone that cracked after two uses. The sub-£110 pellet boxes are thinner evidence.

No gas bottle, outdoors

You will not store a bottle, and the oven stays outside on a UK socket. The Cozze 90355 is about £257.86, at 3.9 from 144 reviews, score 59, with 230 V, 2,200 W and a 1.8 m UK plug stated. The saved review text is not from the United Kingdom, and the components line says Grill. At 20.2 kg it is a two-person lift.

Common questions about Patio ovens

Which patio oven is the top pick for 2026?
The top pick is the NutriChef UK-NCPIZRT44 gas oven at about £179.99. It scores 80, the highest in this set, from 4.2 stars and 388 amazon.co.uk reviews, with a rotating stone, peel, regulator and hose in the kit. A UK review says the base was aluminium, not the stainless suggested, and that preheat took about 20 to 30 minutes. The 60-second line applies after the stone is hot. This is not a lab cook.
Which patio oven is the best value?
The best value is the WEELOO 11 inch pellet pizza oven at about £88.99. It scores 69. Among ovens that still score at least 50, that is the strongest score per pound of shelf price. The listing shows 5.0 from three reviews. Bullets say wood pellets. The fuel field says charcoal and wood, and the one UK review in the file says to use only pellets. Three reviews are thin evidence. It does not outscore the NutriChef.
How much does a patio oven cost on amazon.co.uk?
Shelf prices in this set run from about £80.99 to about £355.97. About £81 to £105 is the pellet boxes with no star line, or three to seven reviews. About £150 to £190 covers the Mimiuo pellet oven, the NutriChef gas oven and the Mimiuo gas oven without a turntable. About £240 to £356 covers the rotating gas Mimiuo, the Cozze electric oven and the Q Pizza wood and charcoal oven. These amazon.co.uk prices move.
What should you check before you buy a patio oven?
Check the fuel and the UK connection first. Gas needs that oven’s regulator and hose. A 50 mbar regulator is the wrong fitting against the 37 mbar propane reference. Electric here is 230 V with a UK plug. Then match the stone to the pizza, and see whether a peel, cover or regulator is in the kit. A line that only says grill does not prove a stone is in the box. Seven reviews are not 388.
Should you choose gas or pellets?
Gas gives you a dial and no ash, and you store a bottle outdoors. Pellets and small wood give smoke, often at a lower shelf price in this set, and you tend a hopper. The deepest pellet file here is the Mimiuo classic, at 4.2 from 184 reviews, with no auto-rotate. Pellet boxes under about £110 have three to seven reviews, or none. A multi-burner gas barbecue is a different appliance. See the gas barbecue comparison.
Can you use a patio oven indoors or on a balcony?
Do not run gas, pellets, wood or charcoal indoors, in a tent, under an awning or in a caravan. The NHS treats that as a carbon monoxide risk. GOV.UK says keep water nearby and empty ash only when it is cold. A balcony line on a listing is not a lease and not permission to cook under a roof. An outdoor pizza oven is allowed in a smoke control area. A building chimney is the restricted case. That is not Defra approval.
Does a 60-second claim mean the oven is ready?
No. Bullets that say 60 seconds, or about one minute, describe the pizza after the stone is hot. The same listings often say about 10 to 15 minutes to temperature. UK gas and pellet reviews often say 15 to 30 minutes. One NutriChef review says about 20 to 30 minutes before the turntable cook. Do not light the oven and launch after five minutes because a bullet mentions one minute. None of these scores is a timed lab cook.
What gas pressure and plug should you expect?
Patio gas needs the regulator and hose sold with that oven. The propane reference is 37 mbar. A 50 mbar regulator is wrong. A small patio bottle is often a 27 mm clip-on, and a larger cylinder is POL. A title that says UK regulator does not prove the millibar. The electric row states 230 V, 2,200 W and a 1.8 m UK plug to BS 1363. Call a Gas Safe engineer for a fixed pipe, a stall, a lingering gas smell or a burned hose.

Our verdict

The top pick is the NutriChef UK-NCPIZRT44 at about £179.99. It is the highest score in this set: 80, from 4.2 and 388 amazon.co.uk reviews, for a gas oven with a rotating stone, peel, regulator and hose. A UK review says the base was aluminium and that the stone took about 20 to 30 minutes. The best value is the WEELOO 11 inch pellet oven at about £88.99, score 69 from 5.0 and three reviews. Bullets say pellets and the fuel field says charcoal and wood. The Mimiuo classic scores 76 and takes no badge. The DYUEE at about £80.99 scores 3, with no star line, and does not win by being cheaper. None of these scores is a lab cook.
