2 minute - 900 degree - Electric pizza Oven ?

[Jackie Tran]

If I added a tube to my oven, i wouldn't be able to duplicate their oven.  I do have a convection fan in my oven but it's lower towards the bottom.  I wouldn't neccessarily be trying to duplicate how their oven works.  A tube in my oven would serve 2 purposes. 1) possibly decrese preheat times and 2) concentrate the heat from the broiler element onto the top of the pie giving a potentially better spring.  

I'm not sure when i would have time for this to be honest as i have a lot of dough experiments I want to do and the MBE bakes have been good lately.  Just a thought though.

My guess would be that without a fan pushing the air down the tube, that the heat would just convect its way back to the top and get the roof of your oven glowing red, especially if the tube was 10 or 12" inches long.  Any leftover energy would just heat your tube up. Just my .02

Jet, you could be right as you seem very science minded.  I'd have to test it out to know for sure tho.

Ditto on the bowl trick, screw the oven.
