Over time, pizza oven flues can accumulate soot, grease, and creosote, all of which are highly flammable. If left unchecked, these residues can significantly increase the risk of fire. Regular cleaning keeps the flue clear, ensuring smoke and fumes are safely and efficiently vented outside. It's important to keep your Pizza Flue to TR-19 standards in order to protect everyone on site.

If a pizza oven flue is not cleaned regularly, it can become blocked over time. This blockage can cause smoke to back up into the kitchen, creating serious health and safety hazards — and in severe cases, putting the entire restaurant at risk.
