Uuni Pro arrives

[HouseHomey]

I would take that outside berfore you try it.

MCS Solution = 5 kids.

[kmhfive]

Kids grow up… My 8 are out of the house (mostly). MCS is now an issue!

[Psinderson]

And that's the reason my MCS has been kept at bay. I only have 2 kids, but they're young so many years of prioritization remain! Who knows what they will have once I'm able to indulge any MCS tendencies.

[Dr ROK]

I'd be interested in how many pizzas you can cook before the fire box fills with ash and you have to dump it and start over. I have the first generation Uuni and I can only do about 10 pizzas.

[EdF]

I don't think I'll have an opportunity to test that limit until next spring or summer. Generally, we do no more than a half dozen or so at a time. I will relay any observations, though.

EdF I spent some time looking at Uuni videos last night again, and that thing in addition to great looking pizza combined with your SV as a sear machine appears to be a match made in heaven. Looking forward to your experiences. 🔥

[EdF]

We're working on it. There will be a cook before the week is out. I'm looking forward to it too!

[SoCalTim]

Question, I just went online and saw the Uuni 3, what's the difference other than the higher cost?

[EdF]

A good bit bigger, and multi-fuel. From what I can tell.

[JCGrill]

Looks like fun. My MCS right now is mostly around accessories. I need an SnS, a Fireboard, a meat grinder, etc.

[FireMan]

We want pics! We want Pizza! We want pics! We want Pizza! Get my drift?

[EdF]

Is like the 6 P's of US Army Logistics? Proper Prior Planning Produces Picturesque Pizza!

[hogdog6]

The 6 P’s I learned are a tad different. Haha yours way better.

[EdF]

Me too, but I figured why not improvise?

[MSU Spartans]

I got the uuni pro and fired it up today. I have to say I was pretty impressed, there were a few flaws, the glass door seems to stick once u hit around 700..it was pretty fun and well mad
e a crap ton of pizzas for me and my wife haha. 6 to be exact. Had minimal ash and could have done a lot more...

[MSU Spartans]

[kmhfive]

Looks good! Which fuel did you use?

[EdF]

Yeah! That's what the bottom is supposed to look like!

[MSU Spartans]

I used charcoal and about a minute before I was gonna put the pizza on i tossed a few chunks of wood on. I will say it was pretty fun, and my kitchen was a mess haha

[hogdog6]

Looks like fun and delicious. I’m seriously considering one. It is mainly just 2 of us also so I’m not sure if I should get the larger pro or not.
The wood or charcoal option on the pro I do like, although pellets are convenient. Decisions, decisions...

[MSU Spartans]

Yeah I enjoyed using the wood and charcoal, I plan on using the pellets next just to see how it works, and when I get the gas attachement I will use that as well,

[EdF]

OK, I have an extra one for sale, and my price will be a lot less than what you can get on their website.

PM if interested.

​​​​​​​So, today was burn out day. Tomorrow could very well be maiden voyage!

I'm very happy so far. Took a half hour from filling a chimney with charcoal about 1/3 full to hitting 850F ambient and 770F on the stones with the assistance of a few small oak splits (like 8" x 2-3"). A little soot on the door and some ash on the stones. Smoke coming out of the stack was the kind we like: invisible except for the distortion pattern above the stack. Holds the temp pretty well, though I suspect continuing splits will be needed for multiple pizzas. I basically took a 4-5" x 8" and broke it down further with the wonderful Kindling Cracker. Some pre-voyage pics:

[hogdog6]

Fantastic pics, even more excited knowing about the clean smoke.
Mine just got upgraded from delivering Wednesday to Tuesday. Probably can’t do much with till the weekend but excited to get it here. Keep the pics coming.

[kmhfive]

Looking good! Bet either the pizza or the steaks will be fantastic!

[EdF]

Yeah, I was concerned about the smoke issue too, because several owners were asking for help. It's the usual balance of air, fuel source and heat that a lot of us have some experience with.

[FireMan]

That is great man & looks like it will be a lot of fun. Enjoy!

[MSU Spartans]

Looks awesome!, let me know if you had any trouble with the door sticking? That was one of the only problems I had was the door sticking once I put the pizzas in.

[EdF]

When it gets hot, it tends to stick a bit, but firm up-pressure seems to unlock it pretty easily. Expansion of the sheet metal no doubt.

[Spinaker]

This looks awesome! I think Skip needs one of these too!

[RonB]

Man o man - that looks like fun.
