Pizza oven Uuni 3

[bunyip]

Have ordered one and awaiting delivery, I have watched all the propaganda on how good they are, does anyone here have one and can tell me about the pitfalls?

I have never heard of it.....is this an overseas thing? I have heard of wood fired pizza and I enjoy it and I think I would enjoy one of these so please document, take pictures, and even better short youtube videos!

I thought they originated in the USA, certainly not made here and there is a LPG conversion for them in the US but not here.
Should be turning up early next week from a dealer in Brisbane.
In all honesty I am anticipating a few disasters along the way.

A lot of pizza knowledge and the folks are nice about helping out. Recommend it highly if you are interested in making a really good pizza.

Looks cool, I built a outdoor wood fired oven that is more of a barrel vault. Forno Brovo forum has a lot of great recipes.

I also built a barrel vault (Alan Scott) style oven. Primarily for bread baking, but family pizza nights happen during nice weather.

Love pizza nights!! Have you done much bread baking in it? I have not yet, but hope too. Just wondering a the recipe needed to be tweaked.

I baked sourdough loaves for a local restaurant for a couple of years, so I'd say at least a thousand 2 lb loaves have been through that oven. What do you need to tweak?

We had this for a year or so. It was not worth the money.

Are you getting the Uuni-3 or Uuni Pro? We love to make pizzas on a stone in our Weber grill but the Uuni really cranks up the heat. I’m looking forward to your review.

Uuni 3, it has arrived and now waiting for some cooler weather to take it outside, probably Wednesday will be the maiden voyage, also looking forward to making paratha and Turkish bread as well as pocket bread.
Got a 15kg bag of hardwood pellets yesterday and have all the making for the dough (I have made a lot of pizza dough using a breadmaker which works well).
Been messing around today levelling gravel in the horse arena, just waiting for some overdue rain this week to settle it in.

I cook wood fired pizzas on my wood fired big green egg grill. Probably the biggest failure is repeatedly cracking the regular oven pizza stones. I got a free sink cut out from a local granite shop and its held up. The other down side is it takes a long time to heat up. In the winter I steal some coals from the wood stove and that speeds things up. The success is good pizza.
