A compact outdoor gas oven with a 40 × 40 cm Casapulla biscotto floor and a 9 kW burner. The manufacturer rates it to 550°C. Its double-wall stainless-steel body has ceramic-fibre insulation.

How the calculator uses this oven

Temperature and bake time. It reaches 550°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.
