Unbox the Vevor pizza oven and note the dual fuel option for propane or wood pellets.

Assemble the pizza oven using the provided screws and instruction booklet, noting that the screw packages are not marked clearly.

Connect the propane hose with regulator if using propane, but the creator opts for wood pellets instead.

Insert the igniter burner into the back of the oven and secure it with four screws.

Preheat the oven by filling the pellet hopper with hickory and oak pellets, using a shovel to feed them in.

Light the pellets using fire starters and let the oven heat for about 15 minutes until it reaches the right temperature.

Prepare the pizza dough and place it on the pizza stone for a precook before adding toppings.

After precooking the dough, the creator notes that it cooked too quickly and caught fire, indicating the oven is very hot.

Add toppings to the pizza, including pineapple, and carefully place it back into the oven.

Cover the oven and monitor through the peephole to prevent burning, noting that it cooks very fast and creates a lot of smoke.

Check the pizza after a few minutes to see if it's done, and remark that it looks good.
