I bought a Gozney Roccbox pizza oven last week. First, I plan on using it outside on the pad after I find a table that can withstand the elements.
Was wondering is there a fire code that prohibits it used in the Lanai? It is well ventilated, and I have several friends who use alcohol table top fire pits in the Lanai, and that has an open flame. Just wondering......

Firepits don't get to 900°F. You want more than just well ventilated. Heat rises. If there's no chimney pushing that heat OUT of the top of the birdcage, it'll melt it.

When using it inside, Call the fire department and give them your address and the time you are planning on cooking, Just In case you are immobilized later from carbon monoxide

I tried to use my grill in my Lanai. Heat was never an issue, but the smoke lingered at the ceiling level. I eventually moved the grill to my garage and now roll it out into my driveway when I need it.

Grasshopper, the answer is in the answer!

This us not a grill folks....One will always get advice from those with no experience, so skip the uninformed...

.OP not sure of your brand..but our small pizza oven puts out more heat on the bottom than the top... Pizza ovens cook so quickly they are usually in use for less than 30 minutes.

Its not a grill. So smoke is very minimal unless you don't turn every 39 seconds, then you get a very burnt throw away disk😂

Ours is in a pod coming soon. Will have no problem using on the lanai. Table is the biggest problem. Stainless with large salt blocks on top are my preferred method.

Question is answered by users and sellers of the unit.

The answer depends if your lanai is screened or enclosed. The OP states 'well ventilated'. If this means screened, then yes you can operate the oven. If it means enclosed with a window open then no.

Has anyone ever heard of a gas/propane kitchen stove? We have had one for years and even when using two ovens plus stove top burners preparing holiday feasts we have never had a carbon monoxide issue or alarm activation despite not having an open window. The pizza oven in a well ventilated lanai should not be a carbon monoxide issue. The cautions concerning heat on the table top and ceiling should be considered but should be manageable issues.

A pizza oven is not an open-top stove. It is basically a narrow ceramic "cave" that's wide enough to slide a raw pizza in, and remove it with a pizza spatula. It's a kiln without a door. It is designed to rise to extremely high temperatures - up to 950°F. Compare to the average kitchen oven which doesn't even top 550 for self-cleaning and can't be set to 550 for anything else.

The heat will rise. It will rise at temperatures that can melt vinyl mesh, and PVC pipe, and anything made of plastic including plastic screws or even plastic bolt covers. It can, over time, degrade the integrity of metal mesh. It's meant to be used outdoors, without anything overhead impeding the heat to rise. Not even mesh.

THANK YOU!!! Yes there are a lot of posters who know nothing but hey...don't let that stop them. I have the Gozney Roccbox. I probably will use it outside just wondering if there was a fire code that prohibited it...and yes to the a$$wipes out there I could contact the FD. For that fact 99.999% of the questions or topics discussed here could be found elsewhere, so maybe just shut this site down huh????
