If like me you like the idea of the garden pizza oven but can't justify the cost of a real one to yourself it could be worth a shot.

Internet reviews of these things look Ok so would be interested if anyone has had any success with one.

Probably depends on how hot your BBQ is. Can't imagine our gas BBQ being able to make that pizza oven any hotter than a domestic oven. If you're using charcoal or have a decent gas BBQ then you may have a chance.

I've got one of those, and it does work, but....

Don't think it's an Unni or anything like that, takes a lot longer. 5-10 minutes depending on dough and toppings. And you'll probably need to turn it at some point...

I've found that placing a piece of wood across the front during cooking significantly increases its effectiveness as it doesn't lose heat.

You (well I) needed more coal than I thought I did.

End of the day, it's pretty cheap compared to most of the other garden pizza ovens and simple to use, especially with those bags you light. After a few goes I'm glad I got one as it's a nice change to usual barbecues.

No experience of the thing but you can get hotter with lump charcoal than briquettes

I get pretty decent results from my charcoal webber and pizza stone.

God damn it, I bought one similar to this a month ago for £100! It works bloody brilliantly btw. Pizza base cooks so well. It does need a turn half way through, but that's fine. Takes about 10min to cook on my gas BBQ. I keep the lid down.
