The Piccolo Oven Stand provides stable, elevated platform for your Piccolo pizza oven ensuring optimal cooking height and improved ergonomics.This essential accessory transforms your portable pizza oven from tabletop equipment into a dedicated cooking station.
Proper oven height is crucial for comfortable, safe pizza making. Working with a pizza oven placed directly on a low table or the ground requires uncomfortable bending and reaching that causes back strain during extended cooking sessions. The stand elevates the oven to comfortable working height—typically 30-36 inches—allowing you to load pizzas, rotate them during cooking, and remove finished pies without stooping or awkward positioning.
The elevated position also improves safety by keeping the extremely hot oven away from ground level where children, pets, or accidental contact pose risks. Pizza ovens reach temperatures of 700-900°F during operation—temperatures that can cause serious burns on contact. Elevating the oven reduces these hazards while also keeping the intense heat away from flammable ground materials like grass, wooden decking, or dry leaves.
Stability is paramount for pizza oven stands because the oven operates at extreme temperatures while you're working around it loading and unloading pizzas. The stand must resist tipping, rocking, or shifting even when the heavy oven is loaded and you're working at the opening. Quality stands feature wide base footprint, robust construction, and weather-resistant materials that maintain stability despite outdoor exposure.
The Piccolo-specific design ensures proper fit and weight distribution for this particular oven model. Generic stands might work with various ovens but may not provide optimal support or may lack features specific to the Piccolo's dimensions and requirements. The purpose-built stand ensures secure mounting, proper clearances, and integration with Piccolo-specific accessories.
Additional features to look for include heat-resistant surfaces that won't deteriorate from radiant heat, storage space or shelves for pizza peels, fuel, or cooking accessories, locking casters for mobility combined with stability, and weather-resistant finish that withstands outdoor elements. These extras transform a basic stand into a complete pizza-making station.
Portability considerations matter depending on intended use. If you plan to move the oven frequently—bringing it out for parties then storing it away—lighter stands with wheels provide convenience. If the oven will remain in place throughout the season, heavier permanent stands offer maximum stability.
Assembly requirements vary by stand model. Some arrive fully assembled while others require assembly with basic tools. Follow manufacturer's instructions carefully to ensure proper assembly and safe operation. Once assembled and positioned, verify stability before placing the oven and beginning use.
For Edmonton pizza enthusiasts who've invested in a Piccolo pizza oven, the proper stand completes your outdoor cooking setup. The improved ergonomics make pizza making more enjoyable, the elevated position enhances safety, and the dedicated station keeps everything organized and accessible.
