Tesco Fire Pit Pizza Oven €60 (I think)

mp3ireland2

They seem to have plenty in stock in Arklow and Gorey anyway. I think it was €60, it also said 75% off, maybe I can be corrected.

Has anybody got one of these, I'm just wondering if they are any good? It was only afterwards I was toying with idea, hence I'm unsure of the price! Apologies for that

If it's €60 it would be worth a punt if it's the one they launched as part of their garden range that retailed around €200 so the discount of 75% would bring it down around the €60ish mark. Plenty of info on google about it.

Thanks, I had been googling but couldn't find any impartial review, I feared what I was reading could have been advertising or paid features

Are pizza ovens like this any good for cooking other foods in? Don't know much about them.

Yeah it was €75 I'm arklow too. I got the last one. I may have misread the label in Gorey, or maybe they were in fact cheaper. I didn't chance it though, bought the one in arklow. Used the BBQ last night for first time, same brand, which I got half price a couple of weeks back. It seems good! Didn't assemble pizza oven yet.

I'd say you'd be better off keeping that 75 in your pocket.

As it happens friend went out to another friends house last night for pizza as they had bought this one, they were very disappointed with it, said it was second cheap one purchased and would have been better off buying proper one in first place!

Ah darn. What did they say the issue was?

We used the BBQ from the same brand at weekend. It took a long time for the charcoal side to get up to temp, but I am quite a novice so may night have lit it optimally. Gas side worked funded

Had no interest in it tbh. I wouldn't be a huge fan of a lot of the own brand Tesco gadgets. I find a lot of these things come in and they are cut to 30% or less of the original asking price within weeks. I've seen the same with their camping and cycling stuff and the quality and durability of these items when I've bought them has been questionable a lot of the time. Some stuff is only made for a couple of uses and the price points reflects this. The camping stuff seems to be aimed at the one time festival goer.

Well they are made of paper thin metal that doesn't hold enough heat.

The fire is under the pizza when it should be behind or to the side of the pizza.

I'm not saying it wont cook a pizza but it certainly wont cook one well.

Exactly my thoughts...good for decent pizzas but not as good as wood fired ones.

Also from my own experience with an Ooni karu is that charcoal doesn't give off enough flame/heat to get up to the 350/400° needed .

Could be due the small fire box on the karu but I've had much higher temps with wood and recently the gas attachment.

strange gas burner should do it...karu with wood is tough to handle. It will go to that temp but then its a slog to keep it thr !

Finally used mine a couple of weeks ago. Temperature got up to over 350C but started to cool down then got the two pizzas cooked at over 250C anyway. Messed up and didn't make pizza on the paddle though so couldn't trasnfer to the hot stone, had it on a tray so that will have lost a lot of the benifits....so will be prepared next time!
