I've read a lot of positive comments regarding the gas adapter for these. I've also read some less-flattering reviews of the pellet attachment....but nobody seems to use the charcoal/chunk burner that just comes with it. Thats where I intend to start.
My Ooni rocks and I love the gas attachment, it is like Chef Tom describes in his ATTB video above. As EdF said above it's not just for pizza. I use cast iron in it all the time. By the way the charcoal/wood burner works really well and I think it looks cooler than the others but definitely not as convenient as the gas burner. Enjoy your new oven. xaugievike we do like pics and look forward to them.
I have one of the older UUNI pizza ovens that only uses pellets. Does a great job, but be forewarned - pizza cook FAST in these. 60 - 90 seconds. Burned my first pizza because I didn't turn it often enough.
Burn-off and test-fire today. It was pretty windy - obviously for a 1st fire I've still got a learning curve. The onboard charcoal basket holds more than one small weber chimney's worth of KBB, I had to add a 2nd chimney to it and let that catch before the temps got north of 500....definitely noticed I have to add wood chunks to get them to flame up and really get the temp up, but I was able to get the stones in the 800- 850 range fairly consistently (with a peak of 900) after about 90 minutes - I slowly added fuel just to keep it under some control. the dome temp around 900-950 fairly consistently also, as long as there was an active flame. Surprisingly the door thermo on the glass-door was in pretty close agreement to my IR gun at least compared to the stones. Im guesstimating that a calmer day will get me some slightly higher temps. Overall though, I was able to fairly easily make the temp rise (with fuel addition) and keep it fairly steady. Tomorrow I make my first dough....
