Cheers, I won’t bother then , Dutch oven was next on the list to get anyway!

Hey Rik – I have the Uuni + cover. At first I wasn’t sure if I would use it, or could be bothered to use it, considering you need to take the hopper off to pack it up however it literally takes 2 seconds and now that I have it I wouldn’t go without. If you’re not taking it out/camping then it makes a good cover for storage in the garage while not in use. So to answer your Q, yes the feet fold up and yes you remove the chimneys and pop them inside. Seriously easy. I’ve seen some photos of the bag on their Facebook page. They actually just had a giveaway for it!

Hovering over the ‘buy’ button again…….

Good News!

I just got an email through notifying me that I will be receiving the Uuni 2S which is the latest model, now with a stone base!

Just been on the website and it looks as though they’ll be shipping anytime now.

Yup got the email as well

Hmm. Won’t a stone base take longer to heat up? If so then doesn’t it rather spoil the “ready to cook in 10 mins” thing?

Apparently still 10 minutes to heat up but I’d probably give it 20 myself to make sure and enjoy a beer whilst I wait……

Nice toy I want! 😛

Playing with fire today and the lesson learnt today, the oven cooks bastid quick around a min 😯 and it was probably too far into the oven

take off the “well done” parts it was good.

Arrived today. Contains an Uuni 2S pizza oven. I know what we’re eating this weekend.

same as us burnt edged pizza

‘scuse the rather Instagram-esque photo. Uuni was a great success – will be having more homemade pizza from now on..!

Do you have to use the stone in the new version? Or do you have an option of stone or metal base?

Hmmm… None of those Pizzas look any better than my oven and a tenner pizza stone produces.

Do you have to use the stone in the new version? Or do you have an option of stone or metal base?

So, having not used the previous version (with metal “stone”), then I can’t answer this with 100% certainty. However….

Yes, you do need to use it. There is no additional base for the pizza to go onto (i.e. without the stone you would be cooking on the floor of the oven), and there are small raised studs to rest the stone on. These would be in the way of the pizza.

I found it fine. My bigger issue was that I clearly wasn’t fuelling correctly, but that’s just practice and I’ll get it right next time.

Super little thing – I want to take it everywhere to make pizza..!

I have to say I was rather chuffed with the results. Made a few variations including traditional Margherita (pictured) and Marinara as well as a Pizza Pilgrims inspired “Nduja”.

I tried out two dough recipes. One batch of 24hr sourdough and the other made fresh with 24hr sourdough starter. Both worked well.

Avoid burning by turning at least three times during the cook around every 20 -25 seconds.

More pizza again this weekend. Twice!

Is there a mozzarella shortage or what?

Less is more 😉

Looks a good pizza that

^^^^
+1 Looks great to me.

Tried our 2s out yesterday after taking the recommendations. Really pleased with the results. Really fun thing to do. Oven gets stupidly hot and cooks in 2 mins with charring optional. Small enough to take camping. Just a fun thing- can see us using it a lot.

Could do with tips on how to make the bottoms a bit crispier. I think I might have been a bit mean with the pellets at first and the stone base was not as hot as it might have been. Anyone else managed to get proper crispy bottoms?

Wishes I’d never seen this post….

For crispy bottoms I find it takes longer to get the oven/stone up to temp than to cook the pizza.

Dont put too much stuff on the dough, less is more.

Thanks. We were very thin but may have overloaded toppings. Will try another 5 minutes of stone heating next time.

Nice photos of your Uuni there! Sweet setup. I was stuck for tips but I did find a guide for the 2S on their website’s resource page and there are a load of videos on their youtube. Just copy what they do, it worked for me 😉

I think it just takes a little practice and once you have the hang of it it’s awesome!

Quite unbelievably mrs ws (aka FD) is encouraging me to buy one….

We had ours out today again. All good again. Simple fun. Some questions.
1. I keep dropping pellets when loading up. Almost need a metal funnel to better load up.
2. My pizza stone still not hot enough. Might heat it in the oven first next time.
3. What is the metal plate for that is shown in diagram 8? It shows it sliding in the front but not where its meant to end up.

1. how high have you got the filler chimney? I have mine at lowest setting when lighting then add more pellets when fire in basket is going well. Half fill tube then raise to middle setting.

2. I find it takes 20 mins to get hot, aye proper hot.

3. metal plate is a flame keeper, fits onto inner s/steel skin at front.

For those wanting a crispy bottom: avoid overloading your pizza and place the cheese on last (as this causes the fat to seep across the topping and not into the base).

FTR, I’m sticking with my oven for now (Jamie Oliver dough recipe, allow to rise 1-2 hrs, make base, pre-cook base alone at 2200deg for 3-4 mins, add topping (cheese(s) last), return to oven for 5-7 mins. Job done.

Some oven that. Must make the sunday roast quick 🙂

Perfect @Bruneep thanks I had missed that.

Where do you buy 10kg bags of wood pellet fuel from?
Found lots of places that will sell me 50 bags but not 1 or 2.

Are there any high street retailers like B&Q or Homebase that sell them?

For pellets I just went to a wood stove shop as they had 6mm pellets for bio-mass boilers.

The 6mm burn just as well. I paid a fiver for a 10kg bag.

The store was Robeys in Belper

Nice one Wilson that’s that bit sorted then as its 5 mins from my house.

Just ordered some from Plumb Centre £5 for a 10kg bag.

Any idea how long that will last? 1kg per pizza session?

I’d like to get an Uuni. However with my sensible head on, can you use them to make anything else apart from pizzas?

I fancied something more traditional where the fire is in the oven and then moved aside to bake and I saw the below far less portable at 70kgs. I will update with results over the bank holiday.
