Don't see why anyone with a bit of know how or common sense could not convert then to propane gas using spare burner parts of an old propane BBQ.

Beyond the budget I know but I have seen some amazing looking Neapolitan pizzas come out of this https://pizzaunited.co.uk/products/effeuno-p134h-professional-pizza-oven-for-home

and it has the benefit from being able to run indoors (which I would love in winter in Canada). Not sold here...

I have one of these and with a bit of practice and some fine tuning plus paying attention to the instructions you can turn out pretty good stone baked pizza in a few minutes.   Cheap but effective when you learn to use it.

I usually cook 5 or 6 pizza in a session so I have the kitchen oven going as well. I use the oven to partially cook the bases (just a minute or 2) to dry and puff up a little before loading up and placing in the Pizza cooker unit.  I also have loaded pizza cooking in the oven and then transfer them one at a time from the steel pizza tray to the stone to finish off. 

There really is a trick to finding the sweet spot in the balance of heat in the stone base and the top grill element but once it is good you can get a pretty impressive result.  Mine is an older model that simply has one heat control while the new model also has a timer.

The big plus is that you can do a pretty good naan in it as well.

I watched this a few weeks ago.  A little weekend project (but not for the feint-hearted).
