All the official advice is to never do it, but watching Richard Bertinet’s BBC Maestro class he uses one in his kitchen, with the windows open. Has anyone got experience with this?

Well a gas stove is doing kinda the same. It’s just risky if you forget the fresh air and use it to long in a to small room you dead my bro. But would not say that it is a real danger if you dont forget what your doing.

Are you going to throw pizza on the roof again?

There’s always some story during an extended power outage in cold weather, of some sod who tries to heat a home with a gas grill and dies from carbon monoxide poisoning.

In general it’s unwise to heat anything to 500F+ indoors without at minimum, proper ventilation.

I’ve been there and done it. It’s totally doable but yhe temp in the house skyrockets. I’d reccomend against it unless it’s winter time. Even then I had to open a window. Granted, my house isn’t vwry big.

I used this exact oven in my apartment porch for the last 5 years. I was almost crucified in the pizza subreddit.
It is a very insulated oven which gets hot outside but not enough that it will combust all the furniture around it.
I also used a carbon monoxide monitor, and since I’m using in a very ventilated area, there are no significant readings.
I did some research on this. This is what I found: The difference with a gas stove is that it has an orange flame. A gas stove has a blue one. Blue flames means full combustion while yellow flames are not fully oxidizing mean that carbon monoxide could be formed. This can be lethal. Apart from that: Both flames produce carbondioxide. A pizza oven burns a lot of gas so also a lot of CO2. If I understand it correctly this could also be lethal if it fills the room as it consumes the oxygen.

Don’t do it. Besides the fire and carbon monoxide risk, there is also carbon dioxide poisoning (lightheadedness, drowsiness, headaches) and issues with exposure to combustion products that can cause lung issues in the long term.

No, I’m not insane. Yes yes, I know, if you take the necessary precautions etc etc Not happening, I have seen accidents involving propane gas, I don’t want that shit inside.

Honestly, any hot cooking with combustion or oils should not be done with ventilation without exception. Or at least crack a window.

I have a roccbox same as the picture j always use it outside. I have seen them being used inside the back room of bigger commercial spaces without problems. Realistically if you open windows and get your range hood going you could do it and probably not die, but it’s a bad idea to potentially very bad idea. The potential downsides aren’t worth it to me. But there are electric options if you really want to do it inside that are safer. Breville is a good one, ooni just put one out as well.

I advise against that. Only use large fires like that in a well ventilated area.

There are so many absolutely clueless people in this comment section.
Is this potentially dangerous, yes.
Are there hundreds of thousands of people who’s entire house runs on propane, yes.
It’s also entirely possible to run a propane oven with natural gas.

I also have this course – OP what do you think of the overall course?

I own exactly that model oven. It makes excellent pizza but it’s insane to use it indoors. See all the soot above the mouth of the oven? Incomplete propane combustion. At a minimum, fills your house with fine soot but I’m guessing CO as well.

What can’t a dutch oven do that a pizza gas oven can?

People have been safely burning gas in their homes for decades, and professional chefs have been doing it as a full time job for decades.
Just do your due diligence. You should be asking what kind of gas it’s burning, how much and over how long, does it vent outside, can you open a window, do you have a hood vent that vents outside, etc.
Be smart about it and you won’t have to listen to “dummy rules”

In my youth in worked in a pizza-by-the-slice place. Only difference between this thing and what we had running 24×7 is one of scale.

I always use the gas pizza oven in the garage. Year round pizza

No, I like our house and it’s paid off. Maybe if we rented?

Seems like a really bad idea
You would have to have it somewhere that has adequate exhaust ventilation. You must not just plop one wherever you like in the middle of a room. It needs to be under a reasonably strong exhaust hood that evacuates the cooking fumes outside of the house (not one of those [ridiculous things](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/S/mms-media-storage-prod/final/BrandPosts/brandPosts/8f355f30-4334-4c94-b4e6-1d8f1923daa8/b731dbae-668b-4cfa-a0b5-0829a53e4bd5/media._SL480_.jpeg) like my Mom’s stove had that “filters” the cooking smoke and fumes and then shoots them right back into the kitchen). While they may filter grease and cooking residue, it just pumps the CO from the combusted gasses back into the room.
Hope he has good ventilation.
lol what youtube video is this from? Guy seems like kind of a tool
