ah, the STW forum to the rescue again. Been looking for an ooni gas attachment for months, but they have been out of stock everywhere. Even looked on the ooni website this morning, then read this thread and caught the update on lakeland having some ooni stock. One gas burner ordered!
Pellets are fine, but you need to keep on top of it, so looking forward to some less-hassle pizza cooking!
Nice konerstoner, I really want am outdoor cooking/seating area like that in our next place
We got it without the gas burner, thought if the wood on its own was a faff could then get the burner, but it was so easy and the wood burns well. Also gives me an excuse to get some action with my little chopper.
@markieg31 myself and the OH are really looking forward to heading up to Horner for a pizza night. Have you plans on doing any soon?
Horner farm setup looks great.
I need to stop looking on eBay and getting the rage about all the people trying to sell Ooni pizza ovens for £400. I know no-one needs a pizza oven but profiteering during a crisis seems rather shitty.
Should have just got on the waiting list for August ages ago 😒
Horner Farm looks an amazing setup wish I was closer, if I end up down that way I’ll keep it in mind.

In the meantime you can get pretty good results with a very hot cast iron pan on the hob, followed by a few minutes under the grill.

Pizza stones work very well.

where is Horner Farm- on the map seems to be the Tea Rooms, did you take it over? That used to be the lunch stop for my old MTB club's annual weekend to Exmoor, camping at Pool Bridge and riding (mainly) uphill for two days.
I’ve always hankered after a pizza oven, but during lockdown I’ve got oven pizzas and homemade dough down to a fine art.
I've been cooking pizza in the oven for years, but from a proper pizza oven, it's quite a difference. You're talking 250 in a standard oven, 420 and upwards in a pizza oven, the difference to the dough is quite noticeable.
Canny wait.
Got a uuni but the bbq gets more use due to less prep required.
Does cook a nice pizza though.
We went to a friends little pizza party last night (all outside) and he asked if I could take my ooni (uuni) with gas burner in addition to having his roccboxx.
He thought it was a bit slow heating up so we lit both ovens at the same time and I checked the base temperatures every couple of minutes with the gun.
I have to say that the roccboxx was disappointing in that it took 15-20 mins to get to 500c while the uuni was there in 10 - I soon saw why, the uuni has two burners to just the one on the roccboxx.
(Both cylinders were full so it wasn't an issue with the gas).
I also wonder whether having a door on the uuni helps also as it was fairly windy.
One other point is that the stone on the uuni is easy to take it and turn over to a clean side while the one in the roccboxx looked better held in but harder to remove.

So had the mrs, hence my reluctance to get the Ooni (plus I’m worried how it will affect my Chub Club progress) when they were coming out the kitchen oven so good. However, the pizza oven takes it to another level.
We’ve managed to get some 00 flour today so will see what difference that makes too.
Chicken tikka for the curry in ours tonight and of course naans. I absolutely love it’s been used 2 or 3 times a week since I got.
Some friends are having building work done-I’ve bagsied the old roof timbers to make a table/ work station for it. Project creep might lead to a roof on it!
roaring success yesterday with the firepod, 14 pizzas in the end. lazyitis today meant that we just fired it up for tea and it was ready to do 2 more for us in no time at all. as FB-ATB alludes to ^^^, i think we'll have to watch our waistlines!
now just have to perfect my sourdough recipe, im sure theres a thread for that somewhere 😀
Anyone after an Ooni Dobbies have a handful in stock.

Nice one Drac. I fancied the Karu but they only have a Koda, but actually the convenience and smaller form factor of the Koda is appealing too. Ordered.
I’m loving my Koda it is just a nice size the gas makes it so easy. I’ve just bought a steak as a test run for cooking other meats. The steak is sitting waiting to come up to room temp then I’ll try it.
Keep us posted Drac on how it goes, along with any other non-pizza stuff you cook.
with the Koda
BE VERY careful of the wind.
LAck of door means its very easy to melt the knob off the back ......dont ask me how i know.....
FYI Gambas al ajillo in the Griddle in the pizza oven are to die for.
BE sure to get fresh prawns though.
Does the Roccbox use the same gas bottle/connector as a gas bbq?
Yep, about a 30mbar regulator on any size gas bottle TBH.
But I wouldn't be buying a roccbox - slow.
Tested a steak tonight.
Never using the hob again
50 mbar propane is the answer anything would be slow on a 30har
Even worse on butane
Steak looks Om nom nom. Did it spit much whilst cooking?
Looks good Drac. Dry brining steaks FTW though - https://amazingribs.com/tested-recipes/salting-brining-curing-and-injecting/dry-brining-easier-and-less-wasteful-wet-brining
The Koda says it's 37 mbar so more power than the Roccbox and less than half the price.
Drac - asparagus cooked the same way is amaze!
RM.
Aged steak I wouldn’t brine it for hours before.
Yeah did an asparagus pizza the other week it was amazing. Unfortunately the season for British asparagus seems to be over now. 😥
Managed to find a Koda, family is over the moon, though finding gas looks like the next challenge... Anyway, hopefully I'll sort that tomorrow.
The Ooni website talks about an adapter for using smaller gas canisters, we're planning on taking ours on holiday and smaller canisters would be preferable. Has anybody done this and know what I need to get?
Looking forward to cooking on the new toy 🙂

Garages but look for smaller companies who supply campsites and such, it was £5 more me to get a 10kg Gaslight from an independent then a 5kg from Homebase.

we went down the route of cheap empty bottles from facebook/local ads, and then paid for swapsies. nobody will sell you a bottle from scratch at present, calor wont allow it.

I haven't been following this thread so maybe it's obvious to others, but if you are trying to flog something with a defect I would suggest you need to say what the defect is.

obviously would if someone was interested, was a bit half and half really wasnt it 😀 not really proactively selling, may keep it and have two, but as this thread popped up again and i know theres a 'pizza oven shortage' i thought id mention it. but anyway..... its a slightly troublesome door (have to wiggle it a bit to open and close), plus a slight gap around the back where the top and bottom dont seal properly, so a bit distorted. tested it with the gas bottle tho and it heats up fine.
Can you not send it back SEP? you've not had it long.

he was a real good chap to deal with, sent us another (which im really happy with) and didnt want that one back, theyre too busy to deal with returns 🙂
so..... id split the gain with someone if they wanted to buy it, but im not too fussed either way. could keep it for spares, fettle it a bit to make fit better, or just have a leave it as it is and have a second oven.
They’re still selling gas.
I bet they are . Better burning 5ers to cook the pizza.
30 quid for 5 kg and 45 for 10 kg..... Calor is 28 quid for 13 kg
Cheers for the tips re gas - ended up with a local place with loads in stock - Cheshire Gas, for those in the south Manchester region :-). Impromptu pizza session this evening. Amazing pizzas considering we were making it up as we went along, can't wait to try a steak now...
posted a while back but now a few have got theirs, don't overlook the flammkeuchen - alsatian pizza. You don't need to let the dough prove for ages, just mix up and rest for 20 mins (while you turn the Ooni on) and then get going. Traditional topping is fromage blanc, with bacon / lardons and thin sliced onion; add mushrooms for forestiere...... nom nom nom
No problem loads of independent ones all over. Yeah Gaslight costs more but doesn’t mean you have to buy it, it’s extreme light so great for what I wanted it for.
