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. The Piana reaches 400°C in around 20 minutes with beech pellets and holds temperature well across a session when the fuel drawer is topped up regularly. Ash output is low, making cleanup straightforward.

  • High calorific performance
  • Consistent pellet density for even burn rates
  • Low ash output
  • Recommended fuel for the ZiiPa Piana Wood oven

Dispenser Box for Clean Pouring

The 5kg kraft box has an integrated dispenser spout built into the packaging, so you can pour directly into the fuel drawer or the Donato pellet dispenser without needing a separate container. Store the box in a cool, dry place between uses to keep the pellets dry and performing consistently.

  • 5kg per box
  • Integrated dispenser spout
  • Approximately 20 cooks per box at 250g per cook
  • Store in a cool, dry place

FAQs

How many pizzas does a 5kg box of ZiiPa pellets cook?
Around 20 full pizza cooks at approximately 250g of pellets per cook. Usage varies depending on ambient temperature, how frequently you refuel, and how long your sessions run.
Are ZiiPa beech pellets safe to use in any pizza oven?
The ZiiPa beech pellets are food-grade and compatible with any pellet pizza oven that accepts 6mm wood pellets. They are specifically recommended for the ZiiPa Piana Wood oven.
Do the ZiiPa pellets contain any additives or binders?
No. The pellets are 100% natural beechwood with no binders, fillers, or chemical additives of any kind.
How should I store ZiiPa wood pellets?
Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture. Damp pellets burn inconsistently and can affect oven temperature. The integrated dispenser spout reseals between uses to keep the remaining pellets dry.
Can I use other brands of wood pellets in the Piana oven?
Yes. The Piana is compatible with any food-grade wood pellets. ZiiPa recommend beech for consistent heat and clean flavour, but other food-grade hardwood pellets work. Avoid pellets with binding agents or additives.

Warranty

ZiiPa products come with a 2-year warranty from the date of invoice, covering the full ZiiPa range, not just pizza ovens. It covers manufacturing and conformity defects: a faulty part, a workmanship fault, or a product that doesn't match its description.

Making a Claim

Contact us with your proof of purchase and photos or a short video of the issue. We'll liaise with ZiiPa on your behalf to arrange a repair, replacement part, or full replacement depending on the fault.

What Isn't Covered

Normal wear and tear, and damage from impact, a fall, incorrect assembly or use, lack of maintenance, or using accessories or fuels other than the ones recommended. On pizza ovens, blackening of the glass, soot marks, heat discolouration or patina, and marks on the refractory stone are expected with normal use and aren't covered on their own; a genuine defect, such as an abnormal and uniform deformation of a component, is covered.
