I’ve tried the ooni sourdough pizza and I found it very nice and airy

Bought a Weber Kettle Bbq at the start of Covid. Added a pizza stone and really enjoyed the pizzas over the summer.

However from reading this thread and watching YouTube last night I've now convinced myself to buy a Ooni on black Friday..... Eeek

Trying to convince herself to go for the Selfridge's deal....

Cannot see there being a better offer ( with availability) than that.

Pizza peel and pellets next.

Is" a room outside" the best bet? I'm in the Kerry/Cork area

Woodies do wood pellets, Staffords is the brand, its a green 15kg bag for 9.99 which will last you ages, about 50+ cooks. They have no glue or binders in them so theyre safe for cooking food with. I think Ooni still have their own brand pellets on their site but they are quite expensive in comparison to Staffords from Woodies.

Stumbled across this video for a Sicilian pizza made with semolina

https://youtu.be/gJz3HD6WdE4

I've tried the baking paper trick in a normal oven on a pizza stone, but not in a pizza oven yet.

Was able to just pull out the paper from under the pizza while still in the oven.

Have been looking out for a trolley/ table for my koda instead of using the garden table which is a little low. The ooni table is mad price and the ikea similiar one is never in stock.

So picked up a work shop trolley from Halfords in their sale for 53 euro. Its perfect size for Koda and a bottle of gas. Works perfect for me as can just wheel it out of shed, cook and wheel back in when finished

Yeah they are the pellets I was referring to, they've gone up to 11 euro since I last bought them last year at 9.99. In my Woodies they are near the tills among the other fuels like coal, logs, etc. A bag lasts ages, Ive had mine almost a year now and its still got a quarter to go.

Have my eye on one but was going to hold out until Black Friday. Not sure if that’s wise?

Pete123456 · 19-11-2020 9:52pm

I wish Ooni would just let their stock go into back order... it’s a pain to have to wait for stuff to come in to order it. It’s clear there will be delays but at least if you could place your order and they process them in the order received they should be able to indicate current wait times etc

I purchased last night and just received email to say its with the delivery crowd already. That was fast!

I'm still waiting for Selfridge's to ship my Ooni with the 20% off from Sunday night... They've taken payment for the shipping but not the oven.... The wait to see if its cancelled is rather annoying...

pcasso · 20-11-2020 11:02pm

I am hoping that someone may be able to offer so advice. I have had an ooni pizza oven bought for me as a gift.
The only issue seems to be that it is meant for the countries with 30mbar pressure not the standard 37 mbar that the gas regulator work at here. Will this be an issue for me if I was to use a 37mbar reg or can I get different pressured gas cylinders over here.
Thanks in advance for any help.

NB, below are similar, but different pressures, You may be able to follow troubleshooting though, or ask the posters themselves.

Would you be able to get the receipt?. Another poster had the Dane issue and got theirs replaced by ooni:-

Think there are a few other references to the issue, do maybe do a quick search for "37bar", filter by date then look for the Pizza Oven thread.

Thanks for your reply

I am thinking of trying to have it replaced. A live chat with Ooni confirmed that it wouldn't work with 37mbat pressured gas.
If I though I could source a 30mbar cylinder I would consider hanging on to it as on their website they are saying expected delivery date for the correct oven is mid February. I will be disappointed to have to wait that long to use it for the first time.

Cloudio9 · 23-11-2020 9:14am

The 30 and 37 use an identical burner. The 50 is different. No point in replacing the 30.

I’ve been using one for months. The technical spec of the burner is identical in the product documentation. 0.75mm injectors. See link

Had a look on the Ooni website to see if they have any early Black Friday deals, was thinking of getting the pizza peel if it is a decent price. But instead was faced with it being £65 :eek: I could of sworn it was around £35 back in the summer so Im guessing they increased the price just to drop it back down again on Black Friday

The cheapo peel I use at the moment has no handle, you need to wear an oven glove when retreiving the pizza or you burn the hands off yourself. I wouldnt recommend getting one without a handle, mine will be only used for launching pizzas when I do upgrade with a proper one. I need to find one with a foldable or removeable handle so I can fit it in the kitchen drawers.

Was thinking of getting the gas attachment now that they're discounted for Black Friday. Anyone know how much getting a full one of those 11kg grey patio gas cylinders is, I think there is some deposit? Also how long are users finding 11kg of gas lasting, are you getting a lot of cooks out of it?

I bought my gas in April for 60 I think for 11kg propane including deposit. I still have it

what I do is use a luggage scale to figure out what is left on the bottle, but you will get months out of a bottle even if you’re using it a few days a week. It’s fairly miserly on gas I find. Regularly leave it on for 30mins before cooking and a few mins after

Or, if you slowly pour a jug of hot water down the side of the bottle, you'll be able to feel where the gas comes up to because that part will be colder

Good to hear it lasts ages. Think I'll pull the trigger on the gas attachment as it will be a lot more convenient than going in and out of the house to top up wood pellets in the winter. It takes about three top ups before it gets above 400c which is fine in the summer as Im out there anyway but its a pain in the winter.

Is propane the typical gas used for BBQs as well, like is the cylinder transferable? Was thinking of getting a gas BBQ at some stage and it would be handy just to have the one cylinder of gas.

I think barbecues typically use butane but I could be wrong, either way the most important think is the regulator matching the head on bottle of gas. The gas itself there is very little difference between.

I have seen people making up “quick release” hoses to be able to switch between items using the gas also

Pipmae · 25-11-2020 10:56pm

My Weber BBQ uses Propane and I the one I had before that from Homestore & More one also did.

Do you know anything about this? We need to set something like this up because we have 2 of the larger cylinders from an old fireplace that are almost full. I tried getting the parts and had a fair idea from the calour website what I needed but the lads in the local fuel place looked at me like I had 10 heads.

I’ve seen it on the ooni Facebook pages etc. Uses something like this: https://shop.calorgas.ie/cadac-brass-quick-release-hose-nozzle.html?currency=EUR&gclid=CjwKCAiAnvj9BRA4EiwAuUMDfxDCHteP5w0TbpLz7oAV8BRSVpoh0eDKs9ujZ4rU0szKe3wM0-raOBoCwwkQAvD_BwE

Unfortunately I'm not on FB.

Those connections are what I was looking at before. And I found a guide video online which made the job look easy. I'd just prefer to run it by someone irl just to be sure.

Cloudio9 · 26-11-2020 9:40am

For outdoor, open gas appliances, propane and butane can generally be used interchangeably by just switching the regulator. The disadvantage of butane outdoors is that it becomes unusable in winter below about 5 degrees. For the majority of people who use their bbq only in summer this isn’t an issue. Propane is not suitable for use indoors but is perfect outdoors or in well ventilated spaces like an open garage.

Maybe that could be the case, I’ve never timed how long I usually have it on for and to be fair I’m only ever cooking 2 or 3 pizzas... still less than a euro an hour

Cheers, that makes the gas a pretty cheap option. An 11kg cylinder would get around 100 cooks at 20 minutes per use. Bought the gas attachment last night so just got to get sorted with a cylinder now.
