The Best Multi-Fuel Pizza Ovens in the UK (2026)

By the FireCrust editorial team · Updated 2026 · How we test & score

A multi-fuel oven lets you run on gas one day and wood the next, so you get convenience and flavour from a single oven. This guide explains how multi-fuel works, what to look for, and which models we rate.

Quick answer

A multi-fuel oven is the smart pick if you cannot decide between gas and wood. Most use a swappable burner or a combined fire area so you can choose push-button gas for weeknights and live wood fire at the weekend. Look for a model where the fuel change is genuinely quick, plus the usual essentials: around 450-500C top heat and a thick stone.

Why choose multi-fuel

Multi-fuel ovens remove the hardest decision in pizza-oven buying. You get the steady, hands-off control of gas when you are short on time, and the flavour and theatre of wood when you want to make an evening of it. For households where one person wants easy and another wants authentic, a multi-fuel oven keeps everyone happy with one purchase.

How the fuel swap works

Designs vary. Some ovens take a bolt-on gas burner that you attach or remove; others have a fuel tray that swaps between wood, charcoal and a gas attachment. The key questions are how long the change takes, whether you need tools, and whether the gas burner is included or sold separately. A clumsy swap defeats the point, so check owner feedback on this specifically.

What to look for

Who it suits

Multi-fuel ovens suit buyers who want flexibility and households with mixed preferences. They are ideal if you are new to wood fire and want a gentle way in, since you can start on gas and experiment with wood when you feel ready. If you know you will only ever use one fuel, a dedicated gas or wood oven is simpler and often cheaper.

Frequently asked questions

What is a multi-fuel pizza oven?

A multi-fuel oven can run on more than one fuel, typically gas and wood or charcoal, usually via a swappable burner or fuel tray. It lets you choose convenience or flavour depending on the day.

Is a multi-fuel pizza oven better than gas or wood?

It is more flexible, not automatically better. A dedicated gas oven is simpler for everyday use and a dedicated wood oven can give more flavour, but multi-fuel gives you both options in one oven, which suits undecided buyers.

Is the gas burner included with a multi-fuel oven?

Sometimes yes, sometimes it is sold separately - it varies by model. Always check before buying, because an add-on burner can add meaningfully to the total cost.
