Very nice Pitch, I'd like some of that in my garden :)Originally Posted by Pitch3110
Nice one.Just fired my oven up for the first time this year. No food as yet, simply the start of the dry out process.
Let's have a pizza bake off chaps on a Saturday night in the summer.

Easily worked up project.
Bloody lovely over here in sunny Suffolk.
Sooooooo, been grafting on the ongoing works at home today, oven all fired up for some flat breads, bit of a Middle East thing today for dinner, and oil bubbling for salt and chilli tempura calamari.
Who else is burning??????

Cooked on mine for the first time are a few weeks of curing first .
Any tips on how to light up and maintain a fire ?
Took me two attempts to get it hot enough and then it didn't maintain heat for long at a really high temp.
Don't be afraid to heap it up to get it going with loads of logs.
Once the glow starts it's the time to cook, but keep adding wood at the back and sides plus smaller stuff as flame = colour to the dough.
Pitch
Thanks pitch .Do you close the chimney at all? To keep heat in? Or keep adding logs and cooking,
That stadler may not look safe but it's very cool, and I think you would be going some to burn your own apron lol
Love the rusted protection on it
And as a general observation you all have some mightily impressive pizza ovens and skills

1st pizza of the year for me and my daughter tonight on the uuni S2
Looks fab lewie
I'm now the owner of a Uuni 3 thanks to a chance encounter with them at the Chelsea flower show today. They had the pro version hidden in the corner of the stand. It looks like an impressive piece of kit!
Saw an article in the Sun where they reviewed a number of pizza ovens Inc the uuni.
Interestingly the Wilko pizza oven won !

Just used our Uuni 3 pizza oven for the first time. Absolutely delicious pizzas, and really easy to use. We were sceptical at first, but really happy after the 5th pizza :-)

Nobody making pizza's anymore this summer?...
Yep I am, it took a back burner over the winter with the sous vide machine arriving and the start of the summer marked me building an electronic controller for my converted kettle smoker.
I got some stainless steel angle from eBay to use on my uuni 2 as a flame guard, makes it a bit easier to not cremate the end nearest the pellets.
Have a couple of bases ont the side finishing proofing for lunch.
Edit: 70x70x300mm from here for anyone who's interested

Still love my Uuni but they have kind of pi**ed me off- reallly wanted one of the S3 fire box addons for my S2- I tried to place an order back in April - it went out of stock and has been ever since
Not me :-(
Just turned up at my villa with a pizza oven only to be told it's too dry and and barbecue and pizza ovens are banned on Lefkada…. Gutted
I'll get over it though!!!
We're just down on Mykonos - pop down and see us
Yeah…. See you In a bit…. Hope he beer is nice and cold?!!!
I've got fix, alpha and Methos in the fridge and a bottle of metaxa on the side
What a pisser Ben..
I can't believe I've STILL never used mine. Still sat in it's box in the garage
Where’s the pineapple chunks???
Looking good buddy
Now I do like a Hawaiian
Get ya coat we will have none of that here.
I guessing I am done for this year now and year four has been an excellent one if may I say. The finale was pizza’s for 25 of my chaps five Fridays ago, knocking em out like a pro.
If you want a laugh....

First season with the Roccbox for me and I have to say it was a great success. Haven't tried the woodburner but frankly the gas is soo easy. No real disasters even from the first go which always helps .Managed to cook for the extended family on august BH weekend which went down well especially as the weather was great.
Originally a TZ group buy , delayed by RB who took ages to deliver and then the organiser seems to have completely disappeared into the ether complete with the deal we all agreed to. Not quite what we all planned but hey ho.
he upside is that it is a brilliant little thing and I am very pleased to have it regardless of the end cost. I would very much recommend it to anyone.
Give the Norfolk Arms at Grenoside a try on Wednesday evenings Pau(if you haven't)l-the Nether Edge pizza company have a wood fired oven on the go with some great pizzas. The Stancil brewery lager is good as well. (And V strong!!)
I’ve still not been yet mate and they have a Halloween/pizza night tonight as well.
I keep saying I’m going to go with only living over the hill but just never got round to it. Definitely need to try it soon though. Good then?
Need beer more than pizza (for now!) tonight after that shower again today mate.
Slightly OT but highly relevant..
What cheese or chese blend do you use? Just mozzarella, blend, semi dried? Also can anyone recommend a good pepperoni other than the supermarket usuals? Cheers.
First couple of years i used fresh mozza balls but now I buy the bags of grated from the super markets.
Regards topping, it was a trip to Napoli that got me back into glorified cheese on toast and over there its just good tomatoes, mozzarella and basil, simple. This is what I generally keep to with nduja added as a treat. I buy the best Napolina tined tomatoes which is cook down with garlic and olive oil, cool and blitz.
Regards nduja, the Carlucci's one they sell in the deli is spot on.

I can’t see any official announcements from Uuni on it but the gas burner has been added to their store. £49. Pricey enough but I’ve ordered one as I’m sure they will be sold out for months once the word spreads.
https://uk.uuni.net/products/uuni-3-gas-burner
Was tempted to add to my S2 (although it quotes it's not been tested)
All along they said it would be compatable with the 2S but I’d imagine they have been asked to get specific approval for its use in one and decided against it due to cost/time.
Last summer I got a fabricator mate to make me a pizza oven up from a 47kg propane bottle.
With a large granite slab in it it cost me substantially less than an Uuni and runs on plain old chopped wood, rather than pellets.
It has a longer flame path and much greater mass and inertia than an Uuni (which I have tried) making for much more reliable cooking and even temperature distribution.
Here it is, just after application of HT paint.
The up and over door on the left is for pizza loading/removal. The 360mm x 580mm x 20mm thick granite slab is mid-height along that horizontal access.
The door on the right is for fuelling
The third wooden handle under the door on the right is the air control slide. There is a fire grate between the fuel and air, so the air is distributed under the fuel.
At the bottom is a 2" screwed plug for ash removal.
It makes great pizza.

Now that looks good- I'd bet if he wasn't a mate it would be quite costlyLast summer I got a fabricator mate to make me a pizza oven up from a 47kg propane bottle.

All in, having blasted the bottle to remove paint coating (£10), and including the granite slab (£38) it was ~£200 with wheels, hinges, everything.
And the one extra you would also need it the laser thermometer (about £25) to ensure the slab is hot enough to cook on.
Dave
+ labour of course
No, including labour. Roy charges me what he charges others, we are very equitable about that as I do stuff for him too. It is all labour really. The bottles are freely available, as people keep them and then chuck them out all the time. Roy makes quite a few things from various gas bottles so people pick them up for him when they spot one going begging. The only other materials (apart from the granite, see above) are rods and cutting discs, a small mount of expanded metal mesh for the grate, a couple of cheap hinges, wheels at under £2 each, M10 bolts (2) and offcuts (including the 4" flue). I turned the oak handles from offcuts of oak in about 10 minutes.
Wow, that looks great. I find it really inconsistent using the wood pellets.
