Pizza ovens

When I ordered my Uuni 2S the guy at bbqco thats in the link in the video said that he has had lots of orders for Uunis and all of them had came as a result of watching that video by Donegal Overlanding in the last 10 days .

Its amazing how we just need to be demonstrated something and we all fight for the last sale stock!

How unhealthy is it to eat pizza every night? I say this because I think I have become obsessed as its so much fun. Its actually better than all of the pizza places around here and a fraction of the cost. My aim is to eat pizza which is costing me about €1.50 per pizza to make and I then deduct that from the €10 from my local pizza place and in a few weeks I will have paid back the £170 it cost me to buy!

I think I need to stay off youtube food channels, they're dangerous!

Anything with cheese and bread is never going to be healthy. But compared to commercially prepared pizzas you can certainly make pizza that is healthier. At least you have control over the amount of salt and sugar that goes into the dough as well as the fat content of the cheese you use. iirc a medium Dominoes pepperoni pizza is around 1,800 calories so it shouldnt be hard to make decent pizza at home that is healthier than that.

Lads this thread really needs some food porn, someone please take pics of these pizzas that the Unni is producing

Newbie here and sorely tempted with the Uuni, we've rented a house on an Island off the Donegal coast for the summer and this would be brilliant, a few questions, can it do more than pizza? Steaks/burgers/bread/flatbreads, stupid question maybe but sure better to ask


Thanks and sorry for all the questions

I have done great steak in mine. I have a cast iron griddle pan which I heat up in the Uuni, then pop the steak on for a minute or two each side (I like rare/medium rare) and it's done with a great sear on the outside and juicy inside.

I use gas and found that having the gas on full bast for this is too much, so dial it back to about 50%.

What one did you order? When is it due for delivery? Some awesome weather coming up to make pizza in the garden.

I did buy it locally, I consider the North as local as anywhere in Ireland and its only €226.82. That saving will buy a fair few bags of good quality hardwood pellets and pizza flour!

I'm a total miser though, I don't believe in paying more than I have to for anything, and if I can buy it anywhere on the island of Ireland for less then its a win win win.

I bought the 2S to save that extra because its on sale, but it seems wiser to buy the 3 instead.

I have a bella pizza oven and it cooks pizzas in 3 to 4 minutes.
Are pizzas from the wood fired ones really that much better?

They may not be any better in reality. A pizza in a 'real' pizza oven will cook in 60-90 secs due to the hugh temperature', but just because it takes longer in your doesn't mean it won't taste as good!

Any tips on how to get the temp up in the aldi pizza oven ? chimney open or closed?damper open or closed? I can only get 250 c after the flames see die down. I put one in at 350 with some flames licking the pizza stone. Started to blacken the base.

Welcome to the Uuni club!

You wont ever look back at frozen garbage again or spend a fortune at takeaways.

Here is my first ever home made pizza made on the Uuni.

That crust looks amazing.

What dough recipe did you use ?

Treated myself to a stand mixer so will make a few on the Joe tomorrow.

Well after consulting with my bank balance we have both decided that Im skint until payday, Thursday

And a huge coincidence today, bumped into the guys who made the review video on the Uuni pizza oven, the one by Donegal Overlanding that was pasted a few pages back. Saw the logo on their jeep outside the local shop and had a chat with them (Richard and Leigh) about the oven, they suggested going for the Uuni 3, they had the 2s and thought the 3 just had a few better features for the sake of a few pound more, they also suggested using Brites pellets, which I think you can get from Enniskillen, that they were cheaper and the same quality as the ones available from Uuni. Ive sent them a link o the thread so they hopefully can give more advice if needed.

You can imagine the scene. We were camping in Donegal with our boat on a trailer behind us, we were making a review of a Coleman stove and were looking in the local shop for some food to cook on it. Outside getting into the Land Rover a woman drives up and says "Hi I recognise you from the Pizza review!" and we are stood staring for a moment as I comprehend what was going on. Not going to lie, we were giggling as we drove away feeling like minor celebrities after being "spotted" for the very first time ever!

So the Uuni, absolutely love it, as you could tell from the video we posted. Have used it countless times since making the review and we are improving each time.

I was saying to nihicib2 that if we were buying it again we may have considered buying the Uuni 3, rather than the 2S. I do not believe there is any extra insulation in the 3, but its slightly redesigned and its "approved" to use with the Uuni gas burner. I emailed Uuni about being able to
use the gas burner on the 2S and they never said it couldn't be used, just that it had not been approved for the 2S. My feelings are that they would be wanting to sell the 3 as its the new model, but looking at how the ovens work, I cannot see what the difference would be. The main thing is if using gas keep the front door off and the chimney cap closed. The danger with the door on is if somehow the gas blows out, it could build up in there and when you relight it it could go boooooooom!

Just to clarify what I was saying about Brites pellets, they may not be as good as the hardwood ones from Uuni, but I have read a lot about them and apart from having a higher burn rate and a little bit more ash, they seem to be able to do the job. We are going to try a bag of brites and see how we get on because the cost savings are fantastic. Having said all that, even at the £18.50 for 10KG of Uuni pellets from gobbq in Craigavon, its still a ridiculous saving over takeaway pizza and you can create the perfect pizza with great quality and healthy ingredients.

I hope many of you enjoyed the review as much as we had making it. Here comes the shameless plug part. We would really appreciate if any of you would care to subscribe to the youtube channel. We have worked really hard to build it and have tried to make sure we keep the content original and promoting outdoor living all over Ireland. We are in the process of editing some events we had in the last few weeks, a trip to Arranmore Island in Donegal, a weekender in County Kerry and in a couple of weeks we are hosting another camping weekend in County Wicklow. All of this is totally free and its purely for the love of the outdoors and aiming to meet new friends into the same kind of thing.
