16" Seasoned Almond Pizza Splits
16" Seasoned Almond Pizza Splits — Premium Wood-Fired Cooking Fuel
Designed for full-size wood-fired ovens and serious pizza makers, our 16" almond pizza splits deliver the sustained, intense heat needed to cook perfect pizza after perfect pizza. Longer splits mean longer burn times — ideal for high-volume cooking sessions or larger oven chambers.
Why Almond for Pizza?
Almond wood burns exceptionally hot — reaching temperatures of 700–900°F — with a clean, low-smoke flame that won't impart bitter or acrid flavors to your food. The result is a beautifully charred crust with a light, sweet wood-smoke finish that complements rather than overpowers your toppings.

Pro Tip
Use 4–5 splits to build your initial fire and preheat the oven floor for 60–90 minutes. Add 1–2 splits every 15–20 minutes to maintain temperature during a cooking session. The 16" length is ideal for pushing to the back of larger ovens to maximize heat distribution.
