I researched pizza ovens pizza ovens and found I wanted an oven large enough for a 16" pie and a rotating stone so I didn't have to manually rotate the pie as it baked. Wanting to have everything, I wanted the ability to burn other fuels, then realized I don't have time for other fuels. When I came across the Blackstone 6824 model, I knew it had the two most important features I wanted and the stand sealed the deal. You can also take the oven off the stand to make it more portable. After assembling the unit I fired it up. To help keep the house cooler, we had been using the gas grill to cook pizzas. The Blackstone cooks faster and much more evenly than the make shift rack we were using on the gas grill. We love it and look forward to making quesadilla, nachos and other treats we have yet to think of.
