    My Roccbox finally arrived!!!!!

    Have been experimenting with my new Roccbox. The overall build of this thing is impressive. They had a manufacturing screw up and several of the gas burners were built incorrectly. Lucky me, I was one that received a bad burner. No worries though, because it also has a wood burner. The wood burner is very efficient, but I have not been able to get the oven up to the temps I want before the build up in ash in the burner is an issue. I was able to cook a few pizzas, but the rolling flame wasn't as large as needed to brown/char the top and get the stone floor hot enough to char the bottom. Once I receive my replacement gas burner I plan to use the gas burner to get it up to the higher temps and then remove the gas burner and slap the wood burner on to cook the pizzas. Still get a wood fired pizza! Here's a few pics.

    Wood burner attached and ready to go.

    Under carriage has the start of a nice char, but I prefer mine with more.

    Very wild looking. The pizza looks fantastic. How large a pizza can you put in this?

      The opening is about 12 inches across.

    Wow, that looks cool! Is it going to replace your Rec Tec?

      No way. It's what I'll cook pizza on, but not much of anything else.

    Really interesting looking. Looks like a lot less fuss than doing Neapolitan style in a BGE.

      You have to keep a pretty close eye on keeping the hopper filled with wood, but I think the gas attachment will make this much easier.

        I'll post more as I experiment. Unless you want something specific. If so, let me know. Here's a link to their website: https://www.roccbox.com

        It looks like the learning curve was very shot as the 'zas posted all look great.

          Getting very close. I prefer a bit more char on the bottom and rim of the pizza, but was still pretty tasty!

        I tried out the gas burner since tech support said to feel free to use its till the replacement arrives. Here's a few pics.

          Did that gas cook get the crust more to your liking? More char?

          Certainly looks delicious!!!

              Mr. Bones, yes it did, but due to the burner assembly defect, the flame shot more to one side instead of evenly over the surface. In the pic you can see it's shooting more to the right. As a result, the cheese didn't get much browning on it. I also didn't get it up to it's highest temp, so more playing to do!

                About how thick is the crust? Both my wife and I love a thin crust pizza that has a nice, almost black char on the bottom.

                  This is a NY style pizza, so it's a thicker crust. For thin crust I simple roll this dough recipe. Makes a great thin crust. I'll try to take some pics next time I do thin crust.

                Are you getting uneven heating on the stone? You said that you just wanted to use the gas to heat the unit, and then switch to wood, so can you do that with the defective burner?

                  Great looking Pizza I bet it would be great for searing Steaks after being Sous Vide or heck after a reverse sear off the stove top.
