I saw these yesterday - they're €90 in B&Q but are on sale in Woodies for €79.99. Surely using a pizza stone on the barbecue with the lid closed would do the same job?

I have one of those and its absolute garbage. The heat comes from below which means the pizza stone is hot, but there is very little heat coming up over the top, you need to leave it in so long just to try and melt the cheese that the bottom is literally like a bit of wood.
I have that Uuni 2S, I got it from that link and I used it the other night for the first time after watching the video a few more times. Its like a professional oven at your house, and so easy. Its so fast though, you actually cant believe it watching how rapidly its cooked, its amazing.
My friend came round and tried it and he went and bought one too! He cant see me have anything but he wants it, so annoying!0 -

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
Also what is the difference between the Uuni 3and Uuni 2s apart from £29 of a difference in price, we have gas available in the house for the cooker so would it be just as good to use gas rather than the pellets, or do the pellets give that smokey wood flavour to the pizza?
Thanks and sorry for all the questions 0 -

Newbie myself, but I've read a good bit about the Unni's so I think I can answer your questions.
Regarding the difference between the 2s and the 3, the official spiel is added insulation (I can't see too much evidence of that), more sturdy on uneven surfaces because of the new 3 leg design, and improved burner/hopper design, for better pellet burning.
The general consensus seems to be that the pellets can be a pain because you need to be almost constantly monitoring/topping them up, where the gas just does it's thing. I have seen people say it can be hard to get the oven up to temperature with the gas though, particularly on a breezy day. People have also commented that gas really comes into its own if you want to make a good few pizzas. I'm gonna see how I go with the pellets, but I'm going to get the gas thing too - they swap out really easily.0 -

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%.0 -

Here is my first ever home made pizza made on the Uuni.
As someone who has spent years trying to perfect my pizza, that is a damn fine effort!

Treated myself to a stand mixer so will make a few on the Joe tomorrow.0 -

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.0 -

Are pizzas from the wood fired ones really that much better?
Have one of those ovens myself and its performance isnt what it used to be out of the box. It claims 390 degrees and I think it was achieving around that at the beginning but now definitely not getting that high in temps. Not sure if other owners have found the same thing?0 -

Ha Im sure ye are all sitting there waiting on word alright
Unfortunately one of my horses took ill last night and the vet is coming after 1 so the pizza will just have to wait until I see the vets bill :eek:
But it shall be bought, oh yes it shall be bought, I have dough proving outside at the mo and will be using the Giles and Posner electric pizza oven for now, not a patch on the real thing I know but for now it'll do rightly 0
