ZiiPa Beech Wood Pellets: Recommended Fuel for the Piana Oven

ZiiPa's food-grade beech pellets are the recommended fuel for the Piana Wood oven, supplied in a 5kg kraft box with an integrated dispenser spout for clean, controlled pouring. The pellets are 100% natural beechwood from sustainably managed French forests, with no binders, additives, or fillers. At approximately 250g per cook, a single box gives you around 20 pizza sessions. Food-Grade Beechwood, No Additives The pellets are manufactured specifically for food use. Beech is a neutral hardwood that burns cleanly and produces minimal ash, which keeps the oven and stone in better condition between cooks. With no binders or chemical additives, there's nothing affecting the flavour of what you're cooking. 100% beechwood, French origin No binders, fillers, or additives Food-grade certified Sourced from sustainably managed forests Consistent Heat, Minimal Ash Beech pellets have a high calorific value and consistent density, which means predictable burn rates and stable oven temperatures.
