and a proper pizza oven. The oven a recipe can’t help with
Fortunately, it sounds like pizza steels do a really impressive job replicating a good oven.

So if your primary goal is to show that these Heathcliff strips don't actually need Heathcliff to work, do you feel it cheating to add the fumes in order to keep the sense of the joke?
For the record, I find the series interesting either way.
Welp, I started commenting on a side note, and decided to just throw it all into a separate post. It's about how I view the rise and fall of modern Heathcliff. Cheers!
In short, they can hold a lot more heat than the stones, mimicking the effect of professional pizza ovens.
So the idea is to cook a pizza in the shortest possible time in order to thoroughly cook the dough and outer layers, whilst leaving the ingredients with a delightful freshness. With a conventional oven the process takes much longer, tending to cook everything evenly, producing a drier pizza in which you don't get that 'brick oven effect.'
I've tried the stones myself, heating them on max heat for a whole hour beforehand. They can help a bit, but it's still not the same. All that's my take on the situation, anyway.
I checked the FV just now and I don't see a pizza community here that goes in to this stuff. Unfortunately for now, you'll have to visit the evil empire for more precise info.
