Ok guys, talk me off of the ledge here! - Too Late :P

Eh...she knows me. It's all good. Same as the KBQ, she always thinks things cost too much. I asked her what she thinks I paid, she said "Too much, probably $200"

In the case of the KBQ, I do agree that it's a little pricey, would like to see it somewhere around $600.00 to $800.00 (very doable I think) but it is what it is and it costs what it costs. Nobody bent my arm and made me buy it. Same with the Uuni. Something is worth what somebody is willing to pay for it. I have a sneaking suspicion that the Uuni will prove itself. At least that's the hope!

While on the subject of the Uuni, I noticed it does not have a fan. Was that just on the original Uuni?

You folks can only be described as enablers.

Oh, and my Uuni will be arriving tomorrow...

Lol! Yeup!

Fan was just on original design. The Uuni 2 relies on natural drafting so no fan is needed.

Congrats to RG on his purchase!  I have now researched and watched most of the videos on the Uuni2 and it is impressive, however is there really $300.00 there? What am I missing? Amazon just sent me a deal on the Blackstone  for $288.00 there appears to be a lot more cooker there for buck. Is it because of the stainless? Educate me please...

[RG]

I was looking at the blackstone as well. I am sure it makes great pizza but I wanted wood fired vs gas so I chose the Uuni. As for is it worth $300? I think so being that it uses no electricity unlike the blackstone so it is portable. I do like that the blackstone has a rotating pizza stone but the longevity of that worries me. The blackstone also lets you make bigger pies but we mostly make 12 inch pizzas here as we all like different things. I don't think you can go wrong either way.

RG I think you'll like this forum I belong to
PizzaMaking.com
I believe you made a good choice if you want Neopolitan pizza. To cook you need very hot temperatures & the top of the oven hottest, otherwise the bottom burns before toppings cooked.The only affordable options are the unni & the blackstone. Wood fired out of my price range.

Thanks LA. I signed up and have plenty to read!

Thanks RG! I agree on the portability and it's easier to store so that could be a deciding factor for some. I've had pizza both ways wood fired and gas fired and I really could not tell the difference so for me it's going the Blackstone especially here in the Midwest it will be easier to use during the winter months. As far it rotating they have made improvements with the bearings on the version 2 and I believe it is rectified.  Just got to pull the trigger !

Tom, I say go for it! As the kids say "YOLO......You Only Live Once!" LOL

Jason, are you planning to bring the Uuni to the Cookout with Bremer in a couple of weeks?
Pizza would be a nice way for us to get our veggies.
Oh, please bring your wife if she is speaking to you.

just to add a note here..I know the new ones don't have a fan, but Muebe rigged me up with a pack that runs on batteries for my original Uuni..I really like battery packs..and on my Cobb grill..Old Dave fixed me an extender kit with a rotisserie that run on a battery pack also..very handy and runs about 36 hours at a time on a set of batteries. Enjoy your Uuni..I know you will, most excellent pizza.   Just sayin.   .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

Tom,

My BlackStone makes the best pizza I have ever been able to make.
It makes a great calzone also. It can make everything from Neapolitan to deep dish to near perfection.
Neapolitan 80-90 seconds, thin crusts in 2 1/2 minutes, New York & American style in 3 -5 minutes.
If you like the leoparding on the pizza crust, you will love the BlackStone.

Not knocking the Uuni. I'm sure it makes great pizza also.
just sayin.....

[Pam Gould]

you can bake in them also..just saying..not limited to pizza, there are some recipes her for that.   .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.
