Outdoor cooking in every season: using your pizza oven all year long

You might think outdoor cooking is best on a warm summer evening, but did you know a pizza oven shines in fall, winter, and spring too? In fact, colder months make it extra cozy to gather around that warm oven. In this article, we’ll show you how to use the Pizza Oven Pro all year long – and why it’s surprisingly easy and fun.

Cooking outside in fall or winter: is it possible?

Absolutely! Outdoor cooking doesn’t have to stop when the temperature drops. With the Pizza Oven Pro, you don’t need to worry about power – it runs on wood pellets and heats up to 400 °C / 752 °F in no time. So whether you’re baking pizza on a chilly fall evening or sharing something warm with friends in winter, it’s all possible.

Cold weather only makes it cozier. A thick sweater, a blanket, a glass of wine in hand – gathered around that warm pizza oven. Hot pizza, cool air – that’s comfort food at its finest.

Tips for cooking outside in colder months

• Set up your oven out of the wind – it’ll help keep the temperature stable and use fewer pellets.
• Preheat the pizza stone a bit longer. Lower outside temps might mean you need about five extra minutes.
• Have everything ready in advance: dough, toppings, and a warm jacket so you don’t need to run back and forth.
• Make it cozy! Add some lights, blankets, or a fire pit.

Seasonal favorites for fall and winter pizzas

Each season brings different flavors. In the fall, try a pizza with pumpkin, sage, caramelized onion, and goat cheese – finished with a drizzle of balsamic.

In winter, go for hearty toppings like mushrooms, truffle oil, and arugula. Or opt for winter luxury with taleggio and pear. Think warm flavors, creamy cheeses, and seasonal ingredients.

Seasonal favorites for spring and summer pizzas

In the warmer months, fresh seasonal ingredients are the stars. In spring, think asparagus, peas, and fresh herbs – try this spring pizza with asparagus and goat cheese.

In summer, tomato, zucchini, and basil shine. Try a pizza with burrata, grilled zucchini, and fresh tomato – or stick to the classic buffalo mozzarella and basil straight from your garden. Perfect for those long evenings, a good drink in hand, and barefoot in the grass.

Why the BOSKA pizza oven rocks in winter too

• No outlet needed – it runs on wood pellets, even when it’s freezing outside.
• Pellet fire means fast heating, plus that amazing fire smell and atmosphere.
• It’s easy to set up in a sheltered corner of your backyard.
