The oven has arrived and is being installed at the future
Anthony's Coal-Fired Pizza at 7770 Norfolk Avenue in downtown Bethesda. It's notable that the oven is being brought in at this early stage in construction.
Here is an interesting article about coal-fired pizza ovens that explains they use anthracite coal that produces fewer emissions than bituminous coal, that coal-fired pizza is less smokier in flavor than wood-burning oven pizza, and why the growth of coal-fired pizza will help keep coal miners in Pennsylvania employed rather than in West Virginia.
aka Hard Coal, and favored by locomotive engineers. It actually burns a blue flame when done right and over 900F. Makes a nice pizza.
ReplyDelete"less smokier"
ReplyDeleteLOL
So, if smokiness is not actually a desirable quality in pizza, then what is the advantage of (anthracite) coal over natural gas or even electric ovens?
