- ⢠Has a flow limiting device which, when activated, will restrict the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour (25000 BTUs).
- Natural Gas Requirements
- Verify the type of gas your pizza oven has been configured for by the factory by checking the rating plate on the oven. Pizza ovens configured for natural gas (NG) are orificed differently than ovens configured for liquid propane (LP) gas. Pizza ovens...
