2 . The oven of claim 1 , wherein the tray assembly defines an aperture through which a burner tube of the gas burner extends.
3 . The oven of claim 2 , wherein the burner tube extends adjacent to the fuel on the grate to ignite the fuel.
4 . The oven of claim 2 , wherein the burner tube extends through the tray assembly, and wherein a portion of the burner tube extends adjacent to the baking stone to heat the baking stone.
5 . The oven of claim 4 , wherein the portion of the burner tube extends under the baking stone to heat the baking stone.
6 . The oven of claim 4 , wherein the portion of the burner tube is approximately one-half a length of the baking stone.
7 . The oven of claim 1 , wherein the grate of the tray assembly is removable.
8 . The oven of claim 1 , further comprising a rotating portion of the baking stone, wherein the rotating portion is configured to rotate relative to a remainder of the baking stone to rotate the food item as the food item is heated.
9 . The oven of claim 8 , wherein the rotating portion is configured to rotate manually or automatically.
10 . The oven of claim 9 , further comprising one or more features positioned at an edge of the rotating portion to allow the rotating portion to be rotated manually.
11 . A pizza oven, comprising:
a main body defining a cooking cavity;
a front portion of the main body defining a front opening for receiving a pizza and acting as an air vent;
a baking stone positioned to support the pizza;
a wood burning tray assembly including a grate positioned in the main body; and
a gas burner positioned adjacent to the baking stone and the wood burning tray assembly;
wherein the gas burner is configured to combust a gas to heat the cooking cavity;
wherein the gas burner is positioned to ignite wood on the grate of the wood burning tray assembly to further heat the cooking cavity;
wherein the gas burner is positioned at least partially under the baking stone to heat an underside of the baking stone;
wherein the baking stone rotates as the pizza is cooked; and
wherein the wood is positioned above the baking stone to cook the pizza.
12 . The pizza oven of claim 11 , wherein the wood burning tray assembly defines an aperture through which a burner tube of the gas burner extends.
