Question How many "Real" pizza ovens do we have?
One of main reason's that I started building my oven was a comment that Heston Blumenthal made on the pizza episode of "In search of perfection": "in order to make the perfect pizza you need an authentic wood fired oven"

In the programme Heston mentions the proposed EU guidelines for the defining properties of a neopolitan pizza. Along with pizza dimensions and cooking times a cooking temperature of 485°C (905°F) is specified.

So my question is this: How many of the ovens on this forum can reach this magic temperature of 485°C?

I've currently using a standard oven thermometer, so I can only boast 300°C+ (572°F +) at the moment.
