Burnhard Fat TONY

The Fat TONY scales up with an 8 kW burner and a built-in dual-zone thermometer reading stone and chamber temps simultaneously. Aimed at bakers who run multiple sessions back-to-back or cook in cold conditions where the TONY's 5.9 kW falls short.

How this oven bakes

Give the deck the full 20 min. Air temperature lies. The stone is slower.
If the base burns before the topping is ready, check the cooking surface with an infrared thermometer and let it cool before the next pizza. There is no separate bottom-heat control.
Wind at the mouth dumps heat. Face the opening away from the breeze or the stone never saturates.

Specifications

Temperature range: 250°C – 500°C
Inner size: 40 cm × 40 cm
Weight: 21.5 kg

Pros

8 kW burner sustains high temps in cold weather and recovers between pies faster than base TONY
Dual-zone digital thermometer (stone + air) built in — no IR gun needed
Larger cooking surface handles 16-inch pies versus TONY's 13-inch limit
Justified upgrade over TONY for frequent or high-volume sessions

Cons

At ~$500 it competes directly with the Gozney Roccbox — compare both before buying
21.5 kg rules out casual portability; needs a dedicated table or stand
Same gas-only limitation as TONY — no wood or dual-fuel option

How the calculator uses this oven

Temperature and bake time. It reaches 500°C. At the default hydration, the calculator bakes Traditional Napoletana (60%) at 455°C on the deck for about 85 seconds, and Pizza Classica (65%) at 278°C on the deck for about 6 minutes.
Baking surface. The calculator assumes the stock cordierite stone. Swap in a biscotto and Traditional Napoletana takes about 90 seconds instead of 85 seconds.
Hydration for this oven. It reaches the heat Traditional Napoletana wants, so the calculator keeps the style's 58–65% hydration.
Baker corrections. Bake times learn from bakers' reports on this oven. A correction starts once at least 5 successful bakes from 3 different bakers share the same style and surface.

Formulas this oven bakes

The temperature and bake time the calculator sets for each formula at its default hydration and portion size.
