Ask a Question About This Product
The MTF180 is a mobile gas-fired stone deck pizza oven with 24×28-inch capacity, manufactured by ELMALI. It delivers 33 kW thermal output and accepts both LPG and natural gas. This unit serves pizzerias, hotel restaurants, and artisan pizza operations requiring traditional stone-base baking with gas convenience.
Commercial Application
Stone deck construction replicates the heat retention and thermal mass of wood-fired ovens. The deck absorbs heat during preheat and radiates it evenly across the cooking surface, maintaining stable baking temperature during high-volume service. Operators gain the thermal performance of traditional masonry ovens without wood fuel handling or flue size restrictions.
The oven operates continuously during peak service periods with rapid temperature recovery between bakes. 33 kW thermal input maintains deck temperature under sustained production loads. Mobile construction allows repositioning within the kitchen or relocation between sites without permanent installation requirements.
Key Operational Advantages
- 33 kW gas burner system with complete combustion for both LPG (2.12 kg/h consumption) and natural gas (3.48 m³/h consumption)
- Stone deck construction with thermal mass for even heat distribution and temperature stability during continuous baking
- Mobile design allows transport and installation in basements, upper floors, or temporary locations—largest component 80 cm wide
- Type A-1 flue classification reduces chimney infrastructure requirements compared to solid fuel units
- Weighs 2,560 kg with external dimensions 211 cm × 231 cm × 188 cm
- Disassembles for site access through standard commercial doorways and reassembles on-site

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What deck temperature range does the MTF180 maintain during operation?
A: Stone deck ovens typically operate between 300°C and 450°C depending on burner setting and preheat duration. The 33 kW burner provides thermal input to reach and sustain commercial pizza baking temperatures. Actual deck temperature varies with gas pressure, ambient conditions, and baking load.
Q: Does this oven use stone or steel for the baking surface?
A: The MTF180 uses a stone baking deck that absorbs and radiates heat similar to traditional masonry ovens. Stone construction provides thermal mass for stable temperature during continuous production. Steel decks are not used in this model.
Q: Can the oven convert between LPG and natural gas?
A: Yes, the dual-fuel burner system operates on LPG or natural gas with conversion components. LPG consumption is 2.12 kg/h and natural gas consumption is 3.48 m³/h at full thermal output. Conversion requires burner orifice change and gas pressure adjustment.
Q: What pizza dimensions fit the 24×28-inch deck capacity?
A: The deck accommodates multiple pizzas up to the stated capacity or single large format bakes. Actual production depends on pizza diameter and placement pattern. Operators typically load 3-4 standard 12-inch pizzas or 2 larger 16-18-inch pizzas per bake cycle.
Q: Does the MTF180 support multi-deck stacked operation?
A: This is a single-deck mobile unit. Multi-deck configuration is not supported in this model. Operators requiring stacked deck capacity should specify multi-chamber units at time of order.
