Okay, with any of these pizza ovens there is a learning curve. Do your homework, whether it's through amazon reviews or other relevant forums, you must be prepared for some trial and error. (Don't let your first run be used for entertaining guests...unless you want a different kind of "entertaining".)
Of course I originally didn't like paying such a high cost for the product, however the majority of the existing reviews did not steer me wrong. This oven, along with these extra tools/options, is worth the current cost ($486)! Repeat - I would pay this price for this product again. Other products seem overpriced and don't come with this product's versatility (whether you want to use gas, wood, or charcoal [I have not yet used charcoal, btw]) and comes with some awesome and necessary tools.
Although we did our homework in advance, I didn't expect our first trial run to go so well - it was perfect! So I consider ourselves lucky on that first run because I don't think that's typical. Our 2nd and 3rd runs were NOT so great, however, because we didn't stick to our originally implemented lessons...
Okay - start the oven with propane on full. Warm that oven up! When the laser thermometer says the internal temperature of the oven to about 900 degrees, we throw in the wood chips into the wood chip compartment (if it's cold outside then maybe throw these wood chips in early to get that temperature up) and then bring that propane down to low. Keep feeding those wood chips in as needed without overfilling the wood chip compartment. That wood (with propane on low) will maintain that high heat. If you keep that propane on high, your pizza will taste like propane (we learned this the hard way on the 2nd run). Hey, if that's your thing then keep the propane on high and enjoy that interesting propane taste.
I hope you prepared your pizzas on some sort of flour. I hope you put some flour on your pizza peel. Use your pizza peel to feed your pizza into the oven. Let it sit for 15 seconds, take it out, rotate it 90 degrees, and put it back in; let it sit for 15 seconds, take it out, rotate it 90 degrees, and put it back in; let it sit for 15 seconds, take it out, rotate it 90 degrees, and put it back in; let it sit for 15 seconds, take it out, and it should be done (that's 15 seconds of cooking per quarter). Adjust these steps to your liking/humidity/environment/altitude/etc. Letting it sit at any given position for more than 15 seconds will likely burn that quarter or half of your pizza (we learned this the hard way on our 3rd run). Frankly, you should never walk away from this oven while you are cooking something in it (and you probably shouldn't walk away from this oven at all while it is on).
Okay, a lot of the other magic for this experience is in the flour, but I won't go into that here (sorry), because there are plenty of other online resources for that and everyone's preferences are different. We use "double zero" or 00 flour in the dough and we really like the results.
Enjoy!

10 stars! Best pizza ever!
This is our first pizza oven. After months of research we settled on this one because it's one of the only ones that has propane gas and wood fire (wood logs) running at the same time.It took 4-5 tries to learn how to use it. I contacted Bertello and they quickly provided specific instructions on how to use it. Then we became very proficient at making awesome looking and delicious tasting wood oven pizza! We had family, neighbors, friends come over to try it, and most came for a second and third time. We make pizza for the family 1-2 times a week, and for 10-15 additional family/friends/neighborsonce a week for several months. We cooked pizza for up to 20 people. Very, very efficient. One pizza ready every 90 seconds.Pros:- propane gas heats up the heater in 15-20 min while on high, then while on low it will keep the stove at the perfect exact temp the entire time the gas fire is running.- you add the right amount of wood and turn the pizza at the right time, and the outcome is amazing! Crunchy crust! Look at the thickness of the crust: full of air bubbles. All home made.- it's beautiful to look at the stove, everyone is amazed and wants to learn, and many are interested in getting the same stove. Look at the rolls of fire above the pizza, cooking the pizza within 90 seconds at 1000+ degrees F! I have hundreds of photos of the pizza made. At least one 1 of 5 persons that tasted the pizza said: Best pizza ever!- every easy care: the oven is self cleaning. Then with 1 piece of paper towel I wipe the smoke residue off.- easy storage- comes with thermometer that goes up to 1000-1100F.- this bundle includes everything you need. I added a pizza cutting board with rocker cutter.I would not change a single thing.Very satisfied customer.Best home appliance (next to the popcorn maker).I did not bother with wood pallets or charcoal.

I wanted a pizza over that I could use wood , charcoal or propane.
set up and lighting instructions were easy !
It takes time to figure out how to make great pizza in ANY pizza oven so don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t turn out right away. You will have to play with the preparation, temp and cook time, but in the end it’s worth it ! The pizza oven cooks amazing pizza and is so much fun !
I had a issue with my pizza stone once .
I live in Canada and left the stone inside the pizza oven In winter. The next time I went to use it turned the burner on and when I came out I found the stone was cracked. I figure this happened from the extreme cold to hot. I emailed bertello and although this was likely a error on my end .Eric quickly addressed my issues and replaced the parts without any question or delay !
Overall it’s a great product and easy to use !
