It is the Giotto body you already know: the same refractory chamber, the same 200mm flue on top. In place of the fire you build yourself there is a burner in the middle of the cooking floor, a control knob with a piezo igniter on the side of the body, then a dial thermometer set into the face so you can read the chamber without reaching for a laser gun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe honest trade is this. Wood puts smoke into the food; gas does not. What gas gives you back is the weeknight. If you have looked at a wood oven on a Wednesday, worked out it needs a fire plus twenty minutes, then cooked inside instead, this is the version that actually gets used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to plan for: the Giotto Gas sits on a bench or base you provide. There is no full stand on this model, so work out where it is going before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is new for Polito, so we would rather tell you what we know than fill the gaps with guesses. We hold the price. On your order we go back to Polito for the burner rating, whether it comes set for LPG or natural gas, and what your fitter needs on the day. That conversation happens before you pay, not after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/0856\/9790\/files\/polito-giotto-gas-burner-lit-thomastown.jpg?v=1788656277\" alt=\"Polito Giotto Gas pizza oven with the gas burner lit in the centre of the cooking floor, photographed at Polito's Thomastown workshop\" loading=\"eager\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:10px;display:block;margin:20px 0;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love the Giotto Gas\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ma-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ma-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIt starts with a knob and a button\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn the control knob, press the red igniter, the burner lights inside the chamber.
