Poor temperature control.

The burners are difficult to light both at the same time and keep them lit. Once I do the highest temperature I have reached is about 750 degrees F. The temperature also fluctuates as much as 50 degrees if the wind blows. I live by the beach which is windy on a regular basis. It is also difficult to see what is going on in the back regarding cheese unless I use a flash light.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Maybe it's a learning curve but we have yet to find the value for the price in this item. Somewhat difficult to use seems to cook unevenly even with individual adjustments. Stone never seems to get hot enough to create the nice crisp crust. Cleaning is difficult
Would be 5 stars but the left burner struggles to stay lit early on. You really have to keep an eye on it for the first 5 min. Or so to make sure it stays lit. Once it does it is a near perfect pizza oven. It’s large, cooks well and maintains temp. The thermometer works well for ambient temp but a temp gun is essential to make sure the stone is to proper temp. I highly recommend this product and would have given it 5 stars if they can figure out the burner issues.
Good cooking overall but the igniter on one side didn't light with the piezo, I had to light it with a match. Also had about a 50C difference between the two sides.
Terrible. I bought it with high expectations. It’s very inconsistent and looses a lot of heat. The cheese and crust will burn and the dough underneath will be close to raw. The stone doesn’t hold heat. Even tried using steel.
Made over 40 pizzas and I can get better results using the generic oven in my kitchen.
