I ran across this little gem tonight - it appears to be sold out, but appears to be a solid unit

That looks pretty interesting. A nice price and good looking. I imagine you could use different pellets to add some interesting flavors to the pizzas. It looks like it could be used to make some interesting flat breads as well.

Actually, if you are a Dr. Who fan, you might notice that the side view looks a lot like K-9, the mechanical dog that Dr. Who built for Sarah Jane Smith.  ;) :D

I signed up for their newsletter, will be looking for more info. Thanks for the post, pz!

That is very interesting. A pellet fueled pizza oven.  It looks like it's gravity fed with a convection fan in the rear.

BBQ'rs Delight makes a savory herb pellet blend that makes absolutely incredible pizza.  When using them your whole yard smells like a pizzeria.


And yes, it does kind of remind me of K-9. :) Hey, do you suppose the pizza oven is bigger on the inside? ;)

I don't think it's sold out. It let me put one in my shopping cart. The pizza peel is sold out but not the oven.

It is difficult to believe that it makes good pizza, but the video makes it look good - less than 4 minutes to bake a pie.  I wish he would have shown a money shot - close enough for us to see the deliciousness.  ;D

I don't know - granted I am usually a sucker for new stuff (cooking or otherwise) I have a whole room full of new stuff. But a wood fired oven is "simply" a device that allows for heating the floor of the oven as well as the top of the dome. This allows the pizza to cook quickly and evenly (although you may have to spin the pizza to keep it even.) Looking at the video (and if you go to the You Tube video that pz referenced and look for the original video of the prototype...) you'll see that the "fire" seems to wrap around the pizza. He also shows a bit of a money shot. I think it could work. Maybe this IS the "It's bigger on the inside" part of it...  ;) ;D ;D

You and me both, my friend!  ;D

I'll need to look for more YouTube videos, because this is definitely something that I'd have interest in - the masonry oven does not work that well during the cold/wet of winter.  Sure, you can bake pizza, but it is just not the same.

Is this the video to which you are referring?  This one does show a great pizza with a very crisp crust - quite the money shot.

That's great!  The video you provided is further evidence that this is a solid unit.  Thanks for posting  ;)

Even though I have the masonry unit, I might consider this baby for use during winter.  Don't get me wrong, I dearly love my masonry unit for use in summer, but it does not work that well when the weather is cold and wet.

I checked the price and it is $329 plus $28 to ship to me.

After seeing the interior and how the flame is overlapping the pie I really like it.

A battery powered rotating stone would put it over the top ;)

And it appears to be very portable.

I don't think that it will make too much a difference what flavor pellets you use with that amount of flame however.

And where does it vent?

Danngit pz! You show me this! ;)

Well I was going to buy the Blackstone pizza oven but I was thinking about where the heck would I put the thing? No room under my patio cover anymore.

So I start watching the videos on this thing and was very impressed with it's simplicity and how it works.

And how portable it is. Runs on a set of batteries for 8 hours.

And it is wood fired with pellets! I got pellets plenty of pellets ;)

Then I see he takes Paypal. Ohhhh! 6 months same-as-cash! Even better!

So I placed my order this morning.

Dang you pz!!!!!!!
