Granitestone Piezano Pizza Oven

So after prepping the Piezano (Love this name! If you ever watched The Mario Brothers cartoon you'll know why) like the directions suggested, it is fairly simple to use. The thermometer didn't work and pretty sure it was broken from the start or broke during the first heating. It also did not seem to heat up to 800 degrees. Nothing cooked in 8 minutes time, hence thinking it doesn't heat to the temp it is supposed to. We've tried it four times and our gas oven with a stone works better and is just as easy. They both heat up the space you are using though the piezano is less., is you are thinking it would be better than your oven during hot weather. There is a steep learning curve not getting your dough to stick to the pizza peal so it slides off onto the stone. It is easy to clean. It has a terrible chemically electric burning smell that is eye burning and off putting. It does give you a very crisp bottom crust! If your dough is thin enough it can get cracker like. There is a learning curve to using the top heat element. Too hot and it will burn your toppings because the bottom is cooked, ect. We decided to return it due to it's price point and not being entirely happy with it.
