Grillmeister Gas-Pizzaofen XL pizza temperature and bake time
Pandough estimates a Neapolitan starting point at 60% hydration: 450°C air, 450°C on the baking surface, and about 75-105 sec. These are model estimates for this oven, not manufacturer specifications.
The 8 kW Grillmeister. Twice the burner of the 4 kW, a 40 cm stone 1.5 cm thick, still a low roof. Lidl prints 40 cm pizzas and 450 C in fifteen minutes. A pizza that actually bakes is closer to 30 cm, because the burner sits too close once the dough fills the stone. Once the oven is hot, pies are in and out in about two minutes if you can launch them. Outdoor only. Hose and regulator in the box.
Also known as: Grillmeister XL, Grillmeister pizza oven XL, Lidl Pizzaofen XL, Lidl gas pizza oven XL, 100401131, 100401130.
- 8 kW and a 1.5 cm stone. Twice the burner of the 4 kW Grillmeister, and a thicker floor.
- Hose, regulator, window, wooden handle, folding feet. You do not buy a separate kit to light it.
- On a hot stone Journal du Geek was in and out in about two minutes. That is a real outdoor bake, not a 400 C kitchen lid.
- Lidl promises 40 cm pizzas. Waldi, quoted by RUHR24, says the roof and the burner make a usable pizza closer to 30 cm.
- Mostly sold out after the April 2026 sale. Outdoor only. German bottles 50 mbar. No Amazon listing.
- At that heat Journal du Geek had the pizza done in barely two minutes. Launching it takes practice. This is not an oven you set and forget.
- Preheat on full flame about 15 minutes. Then launch a 30 cm pizza, not a 40 cm one that reaches the burner.
- Turn the pizza. The U-burner is at the back. Two minutes is Journal du Geek on a hot stone, not a cold start.
- This is the 8 kW XL. The 4 kW Grillmeister is a different, smaller oven. Silvercrest SPE 2400 A1 is the indoor electric.
- Outdoor only. Keep the stone dry before the first light. A wet 1.5 cm slab will crack.
