A week or so ago I posted about this "pizza oven" contraption for a gas grill. I ordered it because I had a $50 gift credit from Amazon. When I bought it, it said it wouldn't arrive for about 5 or 6 weeks, presumably since it had to ship from China, and I was ok with that. Well, lo and behold, a cooler of days ago a large package unexpectedly arrived in the Amazon Prime delivery van. I opened it to find a gas grill pizza oven. EXCEPT, it wasn't the one I ordered. It was very similar, but different. Some of the differences (handles on the sides) were upgrades, and some of them ( not adjustable as to length) were drawbacks. When initially shopping for it, I saw both and chose to buy the adjustable one over the one with handles. Also, the one they sent me was a bit lower price than the one I bought.
So here's the dilemma: When it arrived, I was really happy I didn't have to wait 5 or 6 weeks for the slow boat from China. I immediately went and whipped up some pizza dough which is sitting in the fridge, ready to bake. So, what should I/2lwould you do?
1. Box it up, send it back and wait the 5-6 weeks I originally expected, and bake my pizza in the indoor oven?
2. Do nothing - use the one I got and forget about the fact that it isn't what I ordered.
3. Get in touch with the seller and ask them to refund the price difference and keep the "bird in hand?"
4. Cook pizza in it tonight, then return it and wait for the correct one to show up?
I honestly don't know consequences of it not being adjustable. My original thought was that if I expanded it to cover the whole width of my cooking grates it might capture more heat from the burners and get hotter inside than just putting it over some of them, but I don't really know that. What say you Pitmasters and pizzaioli?
