Primo Pizza Oven for Oval X-Large PGXLP

Will this pizza oven work on my Oval X-Large?

Yes, that is the grill it is sized for. It goes inside the X-Large firebox and is sold for that size only, so an Oval Large or an XX-Large needs its own version. Primo puts the fitting size in the title precisely so this question has a one-word answer.

Can I use the Oval Large pizza oven in an X-Large instead?

No. Each one is made to seat in a particular firebox, and a smaller version in a bigger grill will not sit correctly, which is not something to improvise with heavy ceramic and a live fire. Match the size word on the box to the size word on your grill.

Which stone works best with it?

The oval Fredstone shaped for the X-Large uses more of this grill's cooking bed than a round stone will, which is the argument for it. A round ceramic stone is the more flexible purchase if you also own a Round or a Large, since one stone then covers all of them.

How do I keep the pace up when I am cooking for a crowd?

Prepare every base before you light anything, keep toppings simple and identical where you can, and treat the cook as a production line rather than a series of individual pizzas. Opening the lid repeatedly to check on things is the main thing that slows a session down.

What temperature should I be running?

Hotter and drier than any indoor oven manages, and the practical guide is the pizza rather than a number. If the rim colours and the base sets in a couple of minutes, you are in the right zone. If the base is browning long before the top, the surface underneath is ahead of the air above it and the dome needs longer.

Can I use it for anything besides pizza?

Flatbreads, pitta and focaccia are natural fits, and it handles anything you want cooked fast and hard, such as blistered peppers or garlic bread. Low and slow cooking belongs in a normal indirect setup with deflector plates rather than in a pizza arrangement.
