Yes, @blue_dolphin, it would.

Ack . . . I'm resisting!

 

So far, Ooni and the Big Easy are the only two eG temptations I've resisted.

 

I'm holding firm for now.

For now.

 

My landlord (actually, I understand the Fire Marshal) does not allow outdoor cooking, and so "for now" I am safe.

 An Ooni would get around that issue rather nicely.

 

yes - and it is a valid point!  we have an outside exhausting hood in the kitchen . . . there is heat spilled into the kitchen but a lot of it gets exhausted outside.

 

I always wanted a brick/stone oven (bread baking fan here....)  I helped out at an event where we had to start the colonial era-style beehive oven from scratch - i.e. cold. 

that cured me of my desire - it takes a long long time.....

I've been lusting for the smaller 12" OOni.  So  far I've held out but I'm weakening.

[lindag]

Weill, of course, I caved.  The eG enablers strike again!

Made my first pizza last night in the Oni 12" and just couldn't get the temperature up.  I'll go back and read up on the troubleshooting and try again.

I'm using the small propane bottles but don't think that's the issue.

The big 20 lb. tank is just too heavy for me.

@lindag 

 

congratulations .

 

perhaps they have a customer service line ?

 

what does the flame look like using the smaller

 

propane bottles ?

 

wonder if smaller bottles have less pressure in them .

[lindag]

My Ooni turned out to be defective and I just received the replacement at no cost to me.  (Gret customer service.)

I am now working through my learning curve and checking out all the hints on YouTube, etc.  last pizza tasted good but stuck to the peel.

@Kerry Bealare you still cranking out the pies?

A thousand bucks!

[rotuts]

is this 15 amp 120 v   standard USA kitchen ?

 

newer ones might have 20 amp circuits 

 

couldn't find any info on their site about this .

@rotuts From page 3 of the online instruction manual “This oven is designed to be used with 120V outlets only.
Caution: The Ooni Volt 12 comes with a short power supply cord to reduce the risk of the oven being pulled off the countertop. If you’re using an extension cord, make sure that its marked electrical rating is at least as great as the appliance’s electrical rating (1600W).”.

[rotuts]

very interesting .

 

if well made , and it works well ?

Interesting… very interesting 

 

Am I alone in thinking 1.6KW seems a bit on the low side for getting properly hot??

[rotuts]

@&roid 

 

excellent point.

 

there might be reasons 

 

not to take it to 1800

 

these are suburban kitchens , 

 

and it would be unwise to 

 

' break a circuit '

 

it might take a bit more tome to 

 

get to cooking temp

 

and hopefully designed so the store radiates 

 

heat back.

 

funds aside , this might be an excellent

 

addition , for some one already baking 

 

pizza  , on a stone or SS insert , etc

 

to take that craft , outside

 

when it warms up , gets hot , and humid ?

 

OK , just before that , outside .

[&roid]

Yep indeed. If it works as well as their other devices it could be great - lots of places/reasons people might need electric instead of gas. Love the idea of being able to set top and bottom independently. 
 

Price, as you say, is a concern so will be interesting how it holds up in reviews.

Interesting how much it has polarized the Ooni community - I haven't actually gone back and determined if the community is also divided into the propane is OK vs you need to use a 'real fuel' though
