A convection oven uses steam for cooking, while a deck oven uses electric coils.

A convection oven is designed for grilling, while a deck oven is for roasting.

A convection oven has a flat surface for baking, while a deck oven has rotating trays.

A convection oven circulates hot air for even cooking, while a deck oven has stationary heat from below, ideal for baking.
