Let's talk pizza ovens

I like my Blackstone. It can easily hit a stone temp of 900 degrees and the flame wraps around the dome to cook the top of the pizza as well. I’ve pretty much stopped using it, however since I switched to eating grain-free a couple of years ago and haven’t four a grain free dough recipe that can be worked like a normal dough.

This looks pretty decent.

Why would you throw it in the dump?

There is a bookface site for them and they are sought after big-time from what I see.

I have had one about 4 years and works great.

Sorry I meant which pizza kit?

No kit, just a hole cut in a spare lid. It keeps the lid closer to deflect the heat on the top of the pizza, then The kettle pizza kit that is sold.

Smart. What did you use to cut the lid?

[WSM18Lang48]

Dremel tool did the job quite nicely. Angle grinder will work as well

I bought a used blackstone on C/L for $50..well worth it. Only used twice...1st time great..2nd...didnt want to come up to temp. Then I read there is a trick where you dont open the valve up all the way or it wont come to temp. I havent tried it again yet.

There is also a valve on the hose, open that one between 3/4 to 1 turn.

On the griddles you have to open the gas slow or you don't get a good flame.

I find the stability and ease of the Koda (gas) to make pizza night much easier and enjoyable. I can focus on the pies and turning them at the right time vs making sure my heat is consistent.

This is my experience with my ooni 3. Pellets required constant "fiddling" that really made it no fun to cook pizzas. Unlike smoking or grilling, the pizza prep work requires a bit of focus so adding in any difficulty with the oven just becomes too much.

I bought the gas attachment for my ooni and it's fantastic. No more issues with the oven and I can concentrate on learning to make great pies.

I would definitely recommend gas regardless of the oven.

Can you run an Ooni on a smaller camp style propane tank or do you really need a standard 20lb tank?

Either.

How fast will it blow through a Coleman style tank?

I agree. I have the deluxe KP and the baking steel and my Ooni 3 takes less effort and makes great pies even when using pellets. I've not had any issues using pellets that I read that others have. I also have the gas attachment but have never used it yet.
