    DPD would ship it for less than 20 quid, including pick-up at your place (checked box size and weight from Ooni website).

    This is a really good price. If you mean it, I take it.

    Wish that'd come up on the google search I did when I got my 3, I'd have definitely got one at that price.

    Get a wooden peel for launching the pizza and use the metal to turn.
    Build on the wooden peel and give a shake after adding sauce and cheese and again as adding toppings to keep it mobile do it again just before launching, makes sure you don’t just launch the topping into the oven.
    Thank you for the tips, off to amazon now for wood peels.

    We’ve bought the gas adapter to our ooni 3 and it’s so much easier.

    We put semolina on the paddle and it comes off easily - although if you put too much on it burns a bit.

    For the Ooni owners here, do you notice a flavour from the wood pellets?

    I’m tempted by the convenience of the Koda gas oven, but a couple of friends who don’t own either were indicating I’d be losing flavour, which I’m unsure of.

    If not the Koda then I’d be looking at the 3, bit the smaller size of the gas Koda (no chimney etc) really appeals. I already have 2 gas bottles for the Weber weekday grill, so not an issue with always having them available.

    Feels like the gas vs charcoal bbq opinions all over again.

    Cheers

    When I was reading up on it all and decided on the Ooni 3 all the reviews I saw indicated there was discernible taste difference between gas or wood pellets. I went gas.

    I have an ooni 2 and it’s a pain to keep a consistent temperature with pellets. I nearly bought the gas conversion but my wife persuaded me to have another go with pellets. I got a couple of great pizzas but I also got a couple that just wouldn’t cook ( temp was obviously too low)

    I’m going to give it another go tonight!

    Equally could throw a smoker box or some wood near the burner as you do with a gas bbq when you want some smoke.

    More I read about the pellets, seems to be hit & miss. I’ve got many cooking devices that can do that. Ideally want repeatable simplicity.

    I cheated this time and used a fire lighter, it definitely helped. For some reason the pellets expanded and got stuck after the second pizza.

    I have a Uuni 2 and was struggling as some pizzas cooked quickly and were great but others not so much. I bought a thermometer from ebay that I fitted to the door and now everything cooks great as I can see when the temp has dropped.

    After a quick trip to our local Swedish furniture store, I set up the oven on the kitchen balcony (next to the Weber).




    I had not prepared a dough, so had to make do with a single piece which I still had in the freezer. After the required 30 minute heat-up phase the oven was 450 degrees according to my new infrared thermometer.


    (Photo shows earlier measurement).


    Ladies and gentlemen, I present you my first Ooni pizza:






    Not the best pizza I ever had, but a good and promising start. It tasted delicious and had about perfect texture and consistency.


    Just prepared a dough according to the Ooni recipe, it needs only one to two hours of proving so I know already what's up for supper.

    Thanks again to Lewie for his assistance, when will you come over for pizza and beers?

    Raffe, you’ll have better results with the pizzapp app, allows you to modify the recipe for cold proving times and hydration levels.

    Try 60% hydration, 24-48 cold prove, 4h room temp prove(1 hour warm up, knock back and 3h as balls) 2.5-3% salt 2.5% fat olive oil.

    ~230g ball makes a good 10” base.

    My 2p for keeping the teams constant:

    Make sure the rear is facing into the wind or use a small fan to provide a good air flow.

    Get a jam funnel to extend the pellet capacity



    Also get a cheap metal animal water bowl to cap the funnel

    Tap the fire box gently to clear ash and deep the pellets flowing.

    I had a quick look at the pizzapp. Are the proving times for cold proving or warm (room temp) proving on it?

    Both.

    In settings you can turn “CT” proving on or off. RT=room temp, CT=cold temp.

    Pizza number two, with olives and anchovies. Very nice, but I managed to put a hole into it when turning inside the oven.





    Number three worked out perfect. Have to stop eating pizza now, this is dangerous.


    Now onto the water rower...

    Was looking at the app thinking the same, thank you.

    Think I'm decided on the Koda, as have no Homebase near me selling the Pro for the bargain price which is a shame.

    If I cant get the huge flexibility of the Pro, decided to just shoot for convenience with the gas.

    Always have the XL BGE if I want smoke, but much more hassle.

    Just need a job now after the summer off, to justify buying it!

    No worries

    I find the PizzApp more reliable as it allows you to tune the ratios for the amaout of time you have for proving.

    That said your results still look good.

    Personally I’m a bit suspect of the koda.

    I’m on a Ooni Facebook group and some folks are disappointed with the koda results, not sure if it’s user error or the oven.

    You might want to investigate a bit first.

    Thanks - spent the weekend researching but keep forgetting many forums have moved to a FB only presence which I don't frequent.

    Given the 60-90s in the oven, I can't believe there is much smoke & far easier than topping up pellets as frequently as required.

    Will check it out though.

    Just checked and realised your app is not the one I had used before.

    Really like the flexibility of PizzApp, will give it a try.

    Iirc it’s qc issues, temp issues leading to poor pizzas.

    Not having used one I can’t confirm but the numbers seem enough to make me think.

    That said if I replaced my 2s it would be a pro or something larger.

    For years I never touched pizza and when I did it was like glorified cheese on toast.

    Then I went to Naples.......... converted.

    Use the best available ingredients and cook it right and a GOOD pizza takes some beating.

    I started this thread because of my love of the grub and it delights to see where it has gone.

    Have to agree with that.....I never liked pizza when I was younger because I remembered all hose oval cheese covered things from the shops. That changed when I went to torrevieja for the first time eating in the little side streets. Amazing simple pizza good ingredients.....fantastic

    You've a lot to answer for Pitch. You've cost many members here including me a lot of money by posting pictures of delicious homemade pizzas and forcing use to go out and buy these confounded things. On the plus side the wife now likes pizza so I'll let you off.

    Awaiting my joining request being approved.

    Not sure at 43 I class as millennial, but a lot of forums are less searchable post the move IMHO, it’s a step backwards.

    I’ve already got a BGE XL, just upgraded the gas one to a Genesis, wondering if I really need the Pro given my other cooking options. Intrigued as to the FB reviews though as struggling to see how you can screw gas up if the temp is good

    If you check for the normal ooni 3 on the Homebase website at a local store there is a good chance they will have the pro too (mine was like that anyway).

    Not sure at 43 I class as millennial, but a lot of forums are less searchable post the move IMHO, it’s a step backwards.

    I’ve already got a BGE XL, just upgraded the gas one to a Genesis, wondering if I really need the Pro given my other cooking options. Intrigued as to the FB reviews though as struggling to see how you can screw gas up if the temp is good

    Sorry not a poke, was a random aside regarding the repetitive questions (insert what: pellets, dough recipe, sauce recipe, why doesn’t my pizza rise, pellets, flour, peel, dough, pellets, stone...)

    It’s fairly easy to search the group to get the info. Ooni qc, burner issues, gas taps failing, temp issues etc are the main things that stuck in my mind.

    Anyhoo I might have been unfair on the koda, as a adult and bge / SV user I’m sure you’ll be rite whatever route you take ;-)

    Only just been accepted on one group & already bored of the repetitive questions being asked vs people researching, like pretty much every FB group it seems!

    That looks a fantastic piece of kit, however I fear the good lady will object somewhat given the space my XL BGE takes up with its table!

    Seems to be a hint of new news from Ooni at the end of this month, a pizza with an axe through it. Indicating a wood fired oven perhaps. Given this will be sitting next to my log store, that would be quite convenient.

    However I am sure it will be large & the very small footprint of the Koda is a great appeal for me.
