BIG HORN 12" Multi-Fuel Outdoor Pizza Oven Reach up to 1110F - 3-in-1 Wood, Gas & Electric Compatible Pellet Pizza Oven, Silver Review (2026)

Who this multi-fuel oven fits

BIG HORN builds this as a 3-in-1 outdoor pizza oven that starts life as a wood pellet burner and is designed to also accept gas or electric burners, which the listing notes are sold separately. That structure fits a buyer who wants to try pellet-fired pizza first without committing to a full multi-fuel setup, then add a gas or electric burner down the line once they know how often they will use it. It also suits campers and tailgaters, since the oven is built to be light enough to set on a patio table or a tailgate rather than staying fixed in one backyard spot. It is a weaker fit for someone who wants a single ready-to-cook box out of the gate, since reaching full multi-fuel flexibility here means buying additional burner hardware beyond the base unit.

Temperature, materials and fuel switching

The listing rates this oven to reach up to 1110F, which is hot enough for the fast, high-heat bakes associated with Neapolitan-style pizza, where pies cook in a couple of minutes rather than the 10 or more minutes a home oven needs. The body is stainless steel, chosen for durability and rust resistance outdoors, paired with a wooden door handle that stays cooler to the touch than an all-metal handle would. BIG HORN's multi-fuel ovens in this line are built so pellet and gas fuel can be swapped without tools, and this model follows that same design logic even though the gas and electric attachments themselves are a separate purchase. A pellet hopper feeds the fire automatically rather than requiring pellets to be added by hand every few minutes.

Running it day to day

Wood pellet fires need more attention than a gas burner with a dial, since keeping the temperature steady across several pizzas means watching the hopper and airflow rather than setting a knob and walking away. Once a gas or electric burner is added, the routine changes to something closer to a normal outdoor pizza oven, with faster startup and steadier heat, at the cost of the wood-fired flavor pellets bring. Foldable legs and a compact 12 inch footprint make the oven easier to store or pack into a car for camping or tailgating than a full-size built-in unit. Buyers should plan on using an infrared thermometer or the oven's own gauge to judge stone temperature before the first pizza goes in, since pellet-fired heat can swing more than a thermostatic burner.

How it stacks up against other backyard ovens

Against dedicated single-fuel ovens like the Solo Stove Pi Prime or the Ooni Karu 12 in this guide, which ship ready to run on their stated fuel, the appeal of the BIG HORN is starting cost and the option to expand later rather than out-of-the-box simplicity. The Ooni Karu 12 reaches a lower stated 950F but runs on wood or propane without extra burner purchases, which is a real convenience trade-off against this oven's higher 1110F ceiling. Compared with kit-style ovens like the Chicago Brick Oven DIY builds, this is a finished, portable unit rather than a build project, but it shares the same idea of buying core hardware and adding capability over time. Anyone who wants gas heat on day one should budget for that burner as part of the total cost, not as an optional extra.

Bottom line on the BIG HORN multi-fuel oven

This is a solid choice for a backyard cook who likes the idea of pellet-fired pizza now with the option to bolt on gas or electric heat later, backed by a stainless body rated to a genuinely high 1110F and light enough for tailgating or camping trips. It rewards buyers who are comfortable managing a live pellet fire and who plan ahead for the cost of additional burners if they want that flexibility realized. It is a weaker pick for anyone who wants one box that does everything immediately without extra purchases, or who prefers a steady dial-controlled flame over feeding a hopper. Shoppers in that second group should look at a single-fuel gas oven elsewhere in this guide instead.
