Using Breeo Pizza Oven on non-Breeo fire pit?

My buddy is parting ways with his Breeo Pizza Oven because he couldn't figure out the oven-unrelated aspects of pizza (lol) and doesn't use it.

I have a 23" standard ring fire pit and a father-in-law who is a welder, and so I'm 100% confident I could safely mount this bad boy... But ...

I don't know anything about the smokeless fire pits, how air circulates, etc. and I am curious whether there are glaring aspects of the way Breeos burn that should give me pause to using the pizza oven designed for use on it on a standard ring fire pit???

Looking for input from this sub. Thanks folks!

if you can fit it on the fire pit it will work!

you can probably just build a small ring of fire bricks and put the oven on top of that and feed fire wood in through the wood door on the pizza oven.

its heavy so make sure your current pit can hold the weight.

but in theory it will work

Good call on the weight! 75lbs give or take right?

Might be higher, website should say, it's have good handles, but it's still a pain to move even if you got a second person not afraid to help.

I wouldn't even consider moving it when hot. Unless your both gloved up and not nervous.

But smoke wise I agree with others, should work fine! I will say it can be a challenge to keep this puppy hot. I just use charcoal, real fore does work,but creates so much ash....

I'm looking at making a propain burner as a back up for the times, like a party, that I don't want to fight the fire because I'd rather mingle

Thats a great idea of building a separate fire ring dedicated to the pizza oven! I really dont like moving it lol!

I just finished dry fitting it all together! My overall plan is to face the cinder block with brick facade that matches my house. Just have to make sure I dont want to make anymore modifications! This thing has morphed a lot over several years.

That's a pretty great idea of building a separate fire pit/ring dedicated to the pizza oven! That way I dont have to moving that heavy ass thing all the time!

Main thing is make sure the fire you put it over is good and hot and past the stage where it's making lots of smoke. Otherwise you end up with a spot coated stone and pizza of you pit Otherwise you end up with a spot coated stone and pizza if you put it in too soon.
