I have saputo and love it but people have been getting great 60 second bakes with the stock floor.... Do you have a rolling flame across the ceiling? I know with mine I have been getting sub 60 second bakes at 850 with good top heat.... My next outing I will be trying closer to 950.
My first couple of nights I saw 930+ temps on my Saputo tiles. Last few bakes have been when it’s 36-42 degrees out, and I haven’t managed to exceed 850-870 max for the time temp. Pizzas still bake fine, look and taste great, but I do prefer the bake and “oven spring” of launching at over 900. Tonight’s pizzas both launched about 850, cooked just under 2:00.
I also want to note I only have a tight blue flame as shown in most pictures and videos. I do not ever have flames “rolling over the top” in Ardore with natural gas, the way I did with my Blackstone on LP. I also haven’t seen any pics showing rolling flames. Spoiler alert: if you partially cover the opening with your turning peel (never completely covering the opening), you reduce the airflow and can cause flames across the top. This is as effective as doming for me, but is not to be done indoors or garages, as I’m sure the flame will come out the oven mouth if you cover too much. Other than experimenting with this, I’ve never had flames rolling over the top / roof.
