Conveyor to a deck oven

[kay_jack]

Anyone here had experience switching their dough for a conveyor to a deck oven? I’m wondering what dough tweaks you’d consider right way, if any.

I’m driving three hours to test a deck oven and am happy to make multiple versions on my dough.

I could also be overthinking this!

Usually it’s deck oven going to conveyor, why the switch?

This is for an additional location with existing equipment and hood size restrictions.

I’m certainly not in expert in deck ovens, but you may need to go with a different flour like a 00 Caputo that, I believe, is made for baking at higher temps.

I just went from deck to conveyor.

Im pretty sure you will be able to use the same dough without issue.

If you were going from a conveyor to a wood fired 900 degree oven that cooks in 2 minutes instead of 7 minutes then you would definitely need a change

There probably wouldn’t be much difference if you planned on continuing to cook on a screen. Your conveyor oven is probably set in the mid 400s and deck ovens usually operate around 550. I have used a variety of both. What type of deck oven is in the unit?
