    You better have plenty of time and wood:

    can heat up to approximately 100 degrees every 15 minutes
    Makes at least 75 minutes until you have 500° C inside.

    That is so bad, I am not even going to bother reading further.

    No no no no, just stop it. This thread and website in general has cost me so much money over the years and this is not helping

    Is there any particular brand of OO type flour you all use? I've been using McDougalls OO (only one I could find in tesco) but I've just been reading up on protein content of flour and it seems it could make a difference to your dough regards fermenting and workability.

    Aim for high proteine (>10%).

    I think Ooni just cut some prices (not sure how UK prices were, but Ooni website prices are below Amazon in Germany now).

    Koda is £244.95 and Pro is £499 now. Also the gas burners are down, if anybody has been sitting on the fence?

    Same price as it has been the last few weeks @ £244.99, still waiting for the announcement & if not will be buying a bundle deal with the gloves. large handled peel & cover for £25 more, seems good value. I'm hoping for a larger Koda, but know its going to be wood related.

    Okay, wasnt sure of UK prices. Euro prices are down, probably makes sense to keep UK prices unchanged due to the weakness of the pound.

    I’m guessing a stone/ceramic oven similar to what Gozney have brought out.

    Did you go for it?
    Where did you see this bundle deal?

    I am very tempted to go for the koda. Garden just completed so contemplating a pizza oven or a bbq. Thinking is perhaps can make broader use of a bbq including using for some form of pizza.

    Will try and dig the link out again, thought it was in my favourites but appears to have vanished.

    I’ve not purchased yet, waiting until I have employment again! I’d probably start with the bbq if I were you, much more versatile.

    BGE isn’t cheap but does allow everything from low n slow, grilling, baking & pizzas. Very versatile.

    Cheers Ralf, has seen those.

    My challenge is the 500C heat coming out the top of any chimney so close to the woven nylon awning.

    There's the patch from low & slow / the odd pizza that's already ruined the waterproofing, so assuming a chimney being closer would make it far worse.

    Always a fear on the BGE is not burping it when running hot, creating a flashback that sears me on the way up, then melts the awning & sears me on the way back down!

    Just use gas, chimney is closed (or Koda, which doesn't even have one). No difference in taste anyway.

    May be a bit of a cop out, but since getting the gas extension for our uuni 3 its made making pizzas so much easier and fun. Okay there's a slight difference in taste but not that much.

    My main criteria is always trying to perfect the sauce - easier said than done. Last weekend I tried a new one I kind of made up on the spot. I took a couple of sweet peppers, loads of vine ripened tomatoes, a red onion and a garlic bulb, covered in salt and pepper and some olive oil and roasted them all in the oven until they started to blacken a bit. Then deseeded the peppers and really blitzed them and the onion, then put the tomatoes and garlic in a just blitzed them a few short times to leave a little bit of texture to the sauce. Put in in the fridge for 24 hours. My wife said it was by far the tastiest sauce and pizza we've ever had and for the first time I only put cheese on as a topping. Didn't need anything else.

    Still working on my pizza skills, and also a bit tricky to take pictures during the process as one usual has all hands full (and full of flour).

    But here are pictures of a recent test cook:

    I’m not sure there’s much difference between the 2 and 3 apart from the hopper. May be wrong, if I upgrade from the 2 it’ll likely be a pro. But then I may as well go for a real brick oven!

    Update, actually on looking it does look as though the 3 is better.

    Good call, if just wonder if the limiting factor is the size, I notice you get the gas attachment which might be a game changer

    My 2 has the bigger hopper fitted

    Crusts looking good, who’s recipe?

    Crudo after cooking, spot on...but mushrooms...dirty git! I despise the buggers, it’s probably the only food / flavour / texture that I just cannot get on with!

    It's done with Caputo Rosso, 63% hydration, 3% salt, 72h cold proving, 8h room temperature.

    I am still experimenting, currently have a batch of dough proving which will be room temp only.

    Oil or no oil?

    Have you tried both?

    I always have a dough in the fridge ready for quick easy pizza. 500g strong flour, 7 grams yeast, 10g salt 320ml water. Knead or mix in food mixer for 12 minutes and let prove for an hour. Knock back and divide into your individual pizza size. Bit of oil in individual bags and refrigerate. Take out an hour before and stretch by hand but make sure you have enough time to let the dough rest before stretching too much.

    Hope it goes well

    And how long does the dough last in the fridge?

    Tonights efforts. Cold proofed for 24 hours and then 4 hours room temp. Dough was the best to work with so dar, used Caputo classica flour.

    Looks amazing Stu.

    Well guys as another summer draws to a close I'm bloody impressed with everything I have seen on here this year, well done chaps.

    Me.......oven has done well and over the Winter I am planning on a redesign of the cooking area outside and maybe a new oven as well.

    Keep up the good work

    Over the weekend I was the very lucky recipient of an Ooni 3! Had an initial play using some Just-Rol sourdough, which through a combination of piss poor technique on my part and it being a bit reluctant to stretch meant smaller pizzas and thicker bases than I would ideally like and also resulted in the first one getting a bit lost inside the oven as I alunced it too far back and couldn't retrieve it with the handleless Ooni paddle without setting fire to my fingers! However, initial teething issues aside, the next few were really very tasy indeed and already better than anything I've bought from a supermarket, so happy days!.

    Regards the Ooni 3 (for anyone thinking of taking the plunge), it really feels like a great bit of kit. Easy to light even using pellets, get's up to temp in 10 minutes or less and a quick scoop of pellets between pizzas to get the temp back up makes it pretty easy to keep it burning nicely. Only issue I had is the stone arrived cracked in half, but Ooni have already put another n the post, so great customer service too.

    Ta. Biggest issue now, apart from not being able to make them anywhere close to round is finding a good tomato base. The last one was very watery made the bases a bit soggy. I'm definitely going to try to keep using the Ooni 3 for as long as I can throughout the year as I set it up in the garage (using a black and decker workmate) but I'd love to have a proper outdoor kitchen. Be interesting to see how you re-do yours.

    It is a great bit of kit. The pizza app is very useful and so is a wooden peel for launching with semolina flour on it. The first few I did ended up getting folded over in the oven when launching so my stone is a right blackened mess from the burnt on toppings, lol.

    Yeah, my first one folded and got stuck at the back near the flame guard. My stone is equally blackened, but I've been using the broken stone whilst I wait for the replacement, so am not that bothered! The broken stone does make geting the peel under the pizza tricky though!

    Have ordered a wooden one from Amazon, along with some flour as the just-rol dough is pretty good, but really want to try making my own to see how that comes out.

    I made one with gluten free flour not so long ago for an allergic family member. It didn't go very well, and one have any experience here?

    There were some pictures on the Ooni Facebook group earlier today, they looked ... well ... challenging.

    Sign up for the Facebook group, there is a discussion ongoing.

    I have an Ooni (now a 3)
    I bought a sheet of 3mm ply and have made a few peels- ill post a pic up later
    Ideal for individuals to build their own pizzas on - I then have a round ss cake lifter that I find ideal to spin and remove the pizza from the oven
