Wood Fire AND Gas in the Same Oven — Bertello Is the Budget Pick That Doesn't Compromise on Fuel Flexibility
Every other oven in this roundup requires a choice: gas convenience or wood-fire flavor. The Bertello burns both at the same time. The wood tray sits at the back while the optional gas attachment connects at the side — you can run wood alone, gas alone, or both together for maximum temperature.
The 12.5-inch cooking surface is the widest in the sub-$400 range. Not Koda 16 wide, but noticeably larger than standard 12-inch models.

What Verified Buyers Actually Say
"Running wood + gas together hits temperature faster"
Multiple buyers confirm the dual-fuel setup reaches optimal temperature faster than either fuel alone. The wood adds ambient heat while gas handles the floor temperature.
"Wood tray loading is the one learning curve"
The wood tray sits inside the oven and requires short pieces of hardwood. Several buyers note an awkward period while learning the right log size. It becomes automatic after a few sessions.
"Value comparison vs Ooni: different proposition"
Buyers who own both consistently frame it as: Ooni for cleaner experience, Bertello for fuel experimenting. Neither is better — they serve different buyers.

Does Bertello come with the gas attachment?
The gas burner attachment is sold separately. The oven ships with the wood tray only. If you want gas capability, add the attachment to your order.
How does Bertello compare to Ooni Koda 16?
Koda 16 is gas-only with a 16-inch stone and cleaner UX. Bertello is multi-fuel at a lower price with a 12.5-inch stone. The right choice depends on whether fuel flexibility or cooking surface size matters more to you.
Can I use regular wood from a hardware store?
Yes, but kiln-dried hardwood chunks (oak, hickory, or fruitwood) perform best. Green or softwood wood creates more smoke than heat and can affect flavor negatively. Avoid treated wood.
