The Burnhard Fat TONY is a gas-powered pizza oven designed to deliver professional-quality pizzas at home. Building upon the success of its predecessor, the TONY, the Fat TONY offers enhanced features and performance.
Key Features:
-
Enhanced Temperature Control: The Fat TONY is equipped with dual temperature sensors—one inside the cooking chamber and another beneath the pizza stone. This setup provides precise readings of both the oven’s internal temperature and the stone’s surface temperature. The digital display offers exact chamber temperatures and a bar graph indicating the stone’s heat level, which is particularly useful for achieving optimal results with different pizza styles.
