I'm thinking of getting one of these

Anyone got one?

No.

Ooni is the one you want.

This.

ooooh look at me, I’ve got £400 spare. Honestly some people.

Is it big enough though? Doesn’t look that big for a pizza. One of them ones you joy in your garden look mint.

I don't have it spare as such but I spend a fair whack on pizza and presuming I stopped that and used this instead it would end up saving me money within a year

this one? it's not portable though

It's pretty heavy to be fair.

They all will be surely?

Actually it's the same weight as the one in the op give or take.

Why are these better than a normal oven?

wood burning

 

[Wilfy]

wood burning

Ooni can be wood fired

 

[What A Waster]

wood burning

Does it alter the taste significantly?

the Ooni one has a chimney and isn't meant to be portable, the Roccbox is portable, dual burning and cheaper

Use less dough but cost more dough...

Doh!

 

[Wilfy]

What sort of wood do you need for one of these?

You won't be going anywhere for a while cat....

 

[CatRyan]

very much so

it depends what kind of pizza you like I suppose

Personally I like very thin Italian wood fire cooked pizza with the black marks and everything

If you prefer a thicker base American style pizza an ordinary oven is probably just as good

yes that is true but I'm not planning on putting out that much on an unnecessary if wonderful gadget that I would only use for the next few weeks

Cat's always barking up the wrong tree...

That does sound good. There's a company in the north east called Scream for Pizza, they go round food markets and different events in a VW camper van making pizzas to order. They're excellent. This bit of kit looks like what they've got in the van, and the pizzas are as you describe.
