Bertello Propane Gas Burner Attachment

This burner works very well. It starts easily and burns evenly. It heats the oven to a stone temperature of 750 degrees F in about 20 minutes. I tried wood burning, but quickly switched to propane for the ease of use. I may experiment with burning wood or coal again, but I'm not in any hurry.

A must have accessory for the Napoli oven, especially used with the wood burning tray. I had trouble keeping the stone hot enough with just wood or charcoal. After firing one pizza, I had to wait for the stone to get backup to temperature. When used with natural wood charcoal, the propane burner gets the oven hotter quicker, and maintains the stone temperature. I can now fire a thin crust pizza in about 90 seconds, and have a perfect char on the crust top and bottom without over cooking the toppings. With the dough prepared in advance, I can prepare a wood fired pizza quicker than ordering.

As a first time purchaser of a pizza oven, I wanted to make sure I had as many options as possible to not screw it up. Wise choice on my part. My wife and I were eager to cook our first pizzas, but tentative about getting the wood burning aspect right. The propane burner was a tremendous option for easy cooking, and the pizza quality was INSANE! Having the flexibility of wood or propane is a choice I'm glad to have moving forward as we continue to use it. Highly recommend to anyone making the Napoli purchase.

We had some trouble getting the burner to stay lit after igniting and contacted Eric Thomas who quickly sent a replacement. We truly love use the gas burner because it keeps the temperature steady without having to continue adding wood or pellets. Also nice feature to use wood to enhance the flavor of the pizza.

I ordered the oven and propane attachment together. the propane attachment appeared to be defective so I wrote directly to Napoli and asked if I could trade it in. Eric was quick with a response and shipped a new burner, which works perfectly! Much easier to use than wood for multiple pies (I usually make 2-4). Gets up to temp quickly and stays there. I think there is a technique to getting the char at the bottom w/o overcooking the top. Top service, great product that needs a little technique to get perfect pies. Glad I bought this!

For the gas attachment instructions ask for using a flame guard that is nowhere included neither from the burner unit itself or from this extra attachment. When using the oven it clearly gets red-hot at the top but barely warm at the front of the oven, confirming the guard is needed for more even spread of the heat. I escalate to the vendor inquiring the whereabouts of this guard and after 48hr still no answer whatsoever. I understand this until is not as expensive as others and so far does a descent -not great- job for high, uniform heat needed for pizza prep but this kind of little details really can mess up the whole experience and therefore the investment.

It doesn't always light properly, which causes use to lean in and check. Which usually results in a few fried eyelashes!

This propane burner attachment is great! It’s a really quick and convenient option when you don’t have the time to use wood. It heats the oven up very quickly. It’s a really smart and reasonably priced investment to make for future time saving and ease for heating up the oven.
