RG Come on "a leopard can't change its spots"  You know you are going to buy one......So why wait...........Just jump into the pool ;) ;) ;) :D :D :D

 :( :( This IS true :'(






I guess I am that transparent. :-[





I bought it  ::) :-[ :P

Oh well, now it's time to make some dang pizza! It'll be here in a couple of days thanks to Amazon Prime! I ordered some Caputo "OO" while I was at it. Pizza this weekend is in the forecast! (Maybe Sooner!)


BTW - I had to outdo you by 1 emoticon, lol!





It is amazing to me that all of us guys that buy lots of toys (cars ,grills, boats etc etc etc) don't spend as much time picking out a great big couch..........................because over the years we have plenty of nights to sleep on it ;) ;) ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D

Well congrats!

And when you have questions we will be here to help. There is a little bit of a learning curve but with your cooking prowess I am sure your first pie will be perfect!

And remember corn meal is your friend for getting those pies to slide off the peel.

Also when it comes to toppings less is better. No need to pile on. It adds weight and the top will get burned as the middle is undercooked.

It's good to know I have backup. I am glad you have faith in me but I am fairly sure that I am quite capable of messing up, lol. As for cornmeal, I've heard that semolina works best but I found out it's not exactly cheap so cornmeal it is :)

I'm with you on the light toppings deal. The Keg is somewhat the same way but I cook at somewhere in the 600° to 650° range on the Keg, sometimes even a little lower. At 800°+ it needs to be even lighter. I have been reading a book on pizzas and pizza making, we'll see if I can translate that into making a great Uuni pizza!

It seems that I have over the years become a BBQ Consumer's reporter, lol. I'll letcha know my thoughts on it as soon as I get a pie out of it. My wife always gets on to me for "believing the hype" and buying things. She says that I am impressionable. Maybe. May be not. If I were impressionable I would never sell any grill if I didn't like it. I sold 2, including the PBC (which most folks rave about). If anything it proves that taste is subjective. As you'll learn, forums get expensive, lol. These guys have all of these nice grills and smokers and it plants the seed when you see them and the food they make on them, lol.

I think my first order of business is to see if I can improve upon THIS

How big a pie were you making on your Keg RG?. I think these new small grills limit the size. my gasser is just 12 to 14 inches.

I could make a Large (15"-16") but most of the time I would make a medium (12") or smaller (10") ones. One of my favorites was this little brisket pizza .

RG, you're gonna love that Uuni. I remember a couple of years ago, Art(ACW3) and Bradley (Dee's SinL) both brought their Uuni's to the Fall Gathering in Augusta. They were churning out pizza's faster than we could eat them. All I can remember, after eating more than I could handle, was that I wanted some more. They were that good. Just the right amount of smokiness and big flavor out the wazoo. Tommy (TMB), as he is prone to do, even tried to modify one of the ovens to cook even better. I think I've got a little video of these Uuni's in action. It starts at about 15:30.

Yep. And I also learned that polish/ukrainian = best of both worlds. Also got to see that Pam is Grace Slick's doppelganger.
