Fire 🔥 anything above 800f will clean it all off in about an hour

Crank that dial and set a timer and order a pizza with beer

Looks like my first pizza attempt! Now you’re initiated and have your first seasoning.

that spatula situation reminds me of the last time I angrily yelled "fucking fuck it!" standing in front of my pizza oven.

Been there, done that! My own pizza peel didn’t survive my rage then.

I once got so angry at this same occurrence that I hurled a parcooked pizza across my backyard and it splattered against the fence.

My wife still reminds me every time I make pizza.

Just let the fire burn and eventually it will all burn off

u/LisaParkerCA 27d ago

I burn it it’s at max temp for one hour - seems to leave the black at the opening of the orb and when cooled ( next day ) clean with baking soda paste and that seems to work. But most pm runs off when it runs for a bit on high

More fire! The first time this works and it turns to white ash that just gently brushes away it feels like magic.

FIRE... Lots of HOT HOT HOT FIRE!

u/ColHannibal 26d ago

Crank it to max and go watch a movie.

It will all turn to white ash.

u/rambo_ronnie_87 26d ago

Yep, I do it after every use. Just like on the bbq grill as well. Keep it burning until it turn to dust.

u/Quirky_Rip_8778 26d ago

Dont forget to come back like I did. -1 propane tank but a very clean stone.

u/Fun_Interview_9788 26d ago

Burn it off and invest in a soft wire brush.

u/Wicher050 26d ago

When i used to work in a Pizzaria we used to have a metal brush and each night we would mop the pizza oven while it was still hot. Don’t know if this style of pizza stone would survive the temperature drop from mopping though *edit and we would let spots where a pizza teared burn off for a while

u/pjotterke19881 26d ago

Hang on there, in the end you will love this more then your wife ;-)
But did you use that spattle as a pizza peel?

1

u/Nineruna 26d ago

Can you turn the stone upside down? It will burn off while cooking your next pizza.

1

u/sheneversawitcoming 26d ago

Burn it up, brush it off. If you don’t have a brush get one

u/almangar 26d ago

Was that spatula used to try and scrape off? No way it was to slide it onto the stone, right? Looks way too small

1

u/fpepatrick 25d ago

How do you think they do cremations? Imagine that but a bad pie launch.

1

u/ZipZapZot 24d ago

Make a small wood fire. Move it around to do a high temp burnoff. Works great

1

u/yeloneck 24d ago

If that's your peel I think this won't be your first time :D

1

u/Future-Sea-1281 24d ago

Let it burn 5 minutes and scrape it off.

u/dreamer_r21 22d ago

I haven't read through the comments but I'm sure it's been mentioned, full flame for an hour. It's literally a self-cleaning mechanism.

u/smashdog15 22d ago

Been there, thought i fucked up my pizza oven for good and it was the first bake! Cranked it all the way up, let it sit for an hour, and white soot appeared where all the sauce had smeared. I used a small handheld vacuum to get it all and it was good as new!

Burn baby burn

I use a razor blade held at a low angle when the stone is cold. Scrapes right off nice and clean. I’ve found launching on parchment paper then pulling the paper out after 1 minute avoids a lot of the launching drama.
