Notes

Outdoor pizza ovens are typically simple appliances, so targeted repairs (igniter, regulator, burner) can be cost-effective. Replace is often preferable if the body is warped, insulation has degraded, or corrosion has compromised safety.

Frequent ignition failures plus uneven heating can indicate burner or gas-flow issues that may stack up in parts cost, especially if the oven is already well-used.
