Okay, was in the store all day. Talked to many people and it has come down to this. The only way (makes the most sense) to get passed so I can open the doors for business is to get a small conveyor oven. I have been told to forget about electric and go gas. Again, I will only be selling 12" pizzas. Anybody have experience with a good compact gas conveyor? Hobart? Thanks in advance.

I’m not sure the size limitations you are working with but if it fits your need I suggest you check out the Edge 30 oven. The cook chamber is only 2" longer than the Lincoln you linked to and I would guess that the price for new would be similar to the used price in that link. I use Edge 60 ovens and love the cook as well as the energy savings I am seeing. Check out their 30 at: http://edgeovens.com/Ovens/Edge-30-Ovens
^^^ I just saw in you other post that you are aware of the Edge 30. If it fits, look seriously at it as Edge is a great company and puts out a great product.
I am seriously bummed that I cannot get an Edge 30. I have been planning for over a month to buy one for the new store. The problem is my hood. My local code says I have to have 6" of overhang around the oven including the conveyor. The hood I have is 48" deep. The Edge 30 looks to be maybe 44" in depth. Plus I need to keep it off the wall at least an inch I’m guessing. This is so stupid. I have to buy an oven I really don’t want because it is a couple inches smaller. The Marshall is 37.5 deep. I don’t want the Marshall, I want the Edge. This is killing me! Haha
My experience with Pizza is that sales most always expand to meet production.
I do not recall your menu, but recommend you bite the bullet and enlarge your hood to accommodate the edge 40 at least.

I appreciate that George. The local health dept will not allow me to modify the hood and I cannot afford to add a second hood at this time. Im not sure if they will pass an Edge 30 under a 48" deep hood. I would be in a lot of trouble if I purchased the Edge and then couldn’t get it passed. The only solution that makes sense is to buy the Middleby and hope it works good. The problem is I cant find anyone that is familiar with it. Do you know anything about it?

I sold thousands of Middleby ovens before they decided they did not need me. No question they make an excellent oven. Unfortunately I have no experience with that model.
