would there be any difference in the finished product using a Lincoln impinger II gas vs. electric. I know you had told me there would be difference in a deck oven, but how about in a conveyor…

Tom Lehman seems to think there’s no noticeable difference. In my experience however, I must admit I have seen a difference. It seems as though the electric ovens produce a crisper crust vs. the gas. Also, electric in the long run is more expensive to operate than gas.
Another difference, at least here in Colorado, is that you can run two stacked electric impingers without an exhaust hood. With gas you need a hood no matter what.

Thats interesting, the national building code calls for a hood over pizza ovens be they Electric, gas, wood fired or what ever.
The basic object of food service ventelation is to remove the cooking or baking vapors that are produced no matter what the heat source. The removal of heat is a factor also.

Hello slice,Word of advice,if at all possible stay away from the electric ovens for many reasons.Unless that is your only choice,do to no gas at that particular spot.But even then I would look into propane which I have at my store.Electric is just extremely expensive in every aspect of the business.
