Technical & Delivery FAQ

How does Free Insured Ground Shipping work?

Because this compact model weighs under 100 lbs boxed, it ships via insured Ground Parcel (UPS or FedEx) directly to your doorstep in heavy-duty protective packaging—no freight appointment required. Our Inspection Guarantee covers 100% of any transit damage.

Can I convert between Liquid Propane (LP) and Natural Gas (NG) later?

No. This model is engineered exclusively for Liquid Propane (LP) operation (includes the LP regulator and hose connection) and cannot be converted to Natural Gas.

Can this oven be installed under a covered patio or pergola?

Yes, provided you maintain at least 40 inches of overhead clearance above the chimney cap in a well-ventilated outdoor area, or route an insulated double-wall stainless steel flue extension through the roof structure per local building codes.

Can I burn firewood inside the gas model?

No. This compact gas model is dedicated Liquid Propane (LP) only and does not support a Hybrid wood-burning kit or solid wood fuel.

How many people are needed to unbox and set the oven onto its base?

Because the refractory floor bricks and stainless chimney slide in separately during setup, two adults can easily lift the oven dome onto your countertop, table, or rolling base in under 15 minutes.

What countertop surface materials can the oven sit on?

Thanks to high-density ceramic fiber floor insulation and the 4 supplied leveling feet that create a mandatory airflow gap beneath the chassis, the oven safely sits on granite, concrete, stone, stainless steel, or fireproof outdoor kitchen tables.

Does the oven require a curing burn before making pizza?

Unlike traditional masonry ovens that require days of curing, Alfa’s HeatKeeper™ firebricks only require brushing off any shipping refractory dust and running a 30-to-60-minute initial preheat before baking your first pizza.

What is covered under the 24-Month Warranty?

Your oven is backed by a 24-month manufacturer warranty (plus an additional 1-year US & Canada warranty extension on the gas burner), with direct phone support from our US-based oven specialists at (307) 215-9886.
