Great demonstration thank you will be using your tips today 😊

[@joseluisrusso7969]

The last pizza look so professional!!!

[@collierladdie]

Kiln dried wood, excellent coal management, knowledge of the pizza you enjoy... brilliant!

[@Bronxvette]

When wiping with the damp towel the tiles crack, this is what I found. Great videos

[@JohnMcIlroy-cn2bh]

Enjoyed the vid - thanks. Ordered a Fire King from Aldi late last week as it was on offer at £299. Looking forward to trying it and have been prepping for its arrival by watching your videos!

Great Pizza Cooking!

[@ianangus8723]

Thanks for that. I’ve just got the same oven. The pizzas were good , but my flame management wasn’t enough. I know to use more next time 😊

[@rchavez1840]

You have definitely got it down. Good job

[@spoggo24]

Awesome, keep up the amazing content. 👍😊

[@jaimeortega4940]

Liked your pizza content! Wish we had stuff like that from Aldi. For me though its safety third.

[@pizzafireman]

Thanks for watching and enjoying. Yes Aldi uk have some really good finds online and in store. We were really blessed to get our oven. It was a real bargain. We couldn't afford a fancy expensive oven. I have to say safety first with being pizzafireman 😉😂✌️🍕

[@veronicamay4685]

Oh these YT vids are getting VERY professional Andrew! 😮

[@pizzafireman]

@veronica may great editing app and wasted 3 hours last night 😂

[@jeffevans6813]

good vid, I learnt a lot from this.. one question.. have you replaced the floor tiles that came with the oven with thicker tiles that can hold the heat better?

[@williamward7801]

an Ooni Koda 16 gets to 900+ degrees on the stone in 20 minutes without all the extra effort. But I get the labor of love for the wood burning oven.

[@pizzafireman]

You got it in one mate. It would be even easier to order dominos, but i wouldn't get to play at pizzaolis 😆 I would love an ooni gas though for cooking at friends or even indoors when the weather is bad. Thanks for watching. 🍕✌️🙂

[@martinmcshane1]

I need a pizza oven 😍

[@pizzafireman]

I can hear your wife now..... "no... you don't " 🤣

[@troyqueen9503]

Floor temperature where you had the fire verses upper roof temperature and also oven door opening are all variants , where I use a much larger size oven it’s all about man verses fire . Keep enjoying your cooking adventure..🍕🍕👍🇨🇦🍷

[@guidog3068]

Thanks, great video! I’ve got an Ooni Karu which is good for 2 possibly 3, 12” pizzas but cooking more is a pain as it needs almost constant fire feeding cos it only takes small size hardwood pieces. Roughly how much wood in kg do you use to get the oven to about 850f and keep it there for about an hour / 6 - 8 pizzas ?

[@pizzafireman]

Sorry, I only just replied. I've never thought about wood weight. I couldn't get my scales to work, but i use the 7-10kg bags of split logs. Usually, i make 4 to 6 pizzas, and i suppose i use about half a bag to heat up and cook. Hope that's useful information for you. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍

[@guidog3068]

@@pizzafireman thanks for that, sounds like it needs the same as a traditional refractory concrete or brick built, I’m guessing it cools down much quicker though due to less thermal mass but if your not cooking with the retained heat that wouldn’t matter.

[@pizzafireman]

@Guido G yes does cool down fairly quickly, although with the door on and chimney closed it does stay above 200c for quite a long time. We do warm up desserts, pies etc and i would imagine you could bake some bread or cake in it after a pizza session.

[@user-pr8bk7iv5x]

Hey! Just starting to use my pizza oven after having it stored away until I had a house haha. Love the video, but can I be cheeky and ask if you can please share the dough recipe with me please? Thank you x

[@paulframps]

Thank you for the informative videos, and your pizzas look very tasty. I purchased one yesterday now eagerly awaiting delivery. Do you think it is possible to table mount it rather then use the legs supplied? Trying to plan where to put it 😬 Thanks

[@pizzafireman]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes absolutely you could mount it on a table or base. I've seen someone do it on the Aldi pizza oven Facebook group i think. The weight should hold it or you could bolt it. Just ensure a flat non combustible surface not to close to surrounding Combustible surfaces. 👍🍕🙂

[@paulframps]

@@pizzafireman Thank you, now just need to build something 🤔 😂

[@asenkolev8602]

Great video! Just got same one for Xmas hehehe You have definitely mastered it! How long dis it take you to start making those yummy looking pizzas? Also I noticed you have bricks on the bottom which stick out quite higher that the original 1cm plates. How many and what size do you need in order to have a full floor? Did you cover the back vent completely? Apologies for all the questions, but you just look like someone who really means business!

[@pizzafireman]

Thanks, we've been practicing cooking over the last 2 years 2 or 3 times a month usually. My wife has the dough dialled in now. So the bricks are like these Coals 4 You 10 Vermiculite Villager Stove Fire Bricks 4.5" x 9" Multi Fuel Woodburner Logburner, 10vermbrick amzn.eu/d/irXDXn4 You need at least 15 which leaves a gap at the back, or more if you want to place some upright to fill the back gap. Mine has a gap with the vent half covered. You can cover though if you prefer. Mine are clay firebricks from a reclamation yard but my friend bought the ones in the link. Have fun and get cooking 🍕✌️👍

[@asenkolev8602]

Thank you so much! Greatly appreciated!

[@jontrewfrombarry]

Looks brilliant - have you tried making bread in it?

[@pizzafireman]

Thanks for watching and commenting. No I've not tried bread using the residual heat. We may do in thr future. We are pizza addicts so thats what we love to cook. Also cook some veggie sauages, onions, garlic mushrooms sometimes in the oven to then put on the pizza. We've also warmed up some treacle tarts and lemon meringue pie after the flames die out. Nice for dessert 😊🍕✌️

[@theoriginalchefboyoboy6025]

2 "I wonder..." moments to share: 1) could you have a separate pit where you start wood pre-burning, like an Argentine grill, that you could gently shovel into to oven as needed; and A) once you get the oven up to temp slowly could you scoop out the wood and switch to glowing charcoal, or would that burn to hot?

[@Archie478]

Nice hat Andy lol 😂

[@robertgreiner4703]

Do you reach 500 degrees celsius?

[@denisdark586]

Hello great pizza. Why wipe the floor with the wet cloth?

[@pizzafireman]

Hi thanks for watching and commenting. The floor wiping isn't a must do and I'd be happy with a sweep, but wiping with a damp cloth gets an amazing amount of dirt off the floor from where the fire had been burning. That would obviously otherwise end up on the bottom of your first couple of pizzas. I saw Vito the italian pizzaioli doing it and it looked really professional so i decided to get my floor nice and ash free before I cook. ( i should have showed the dirty cloth after I'd wiped the floor) ✌️🍕🙂

[@DJWESG1]

@@pizzafireman failing that you can use a squirty bottle of water, it can clear the space of debris and cool the area if need be( sometime needed if you have cold dough, or if the stone is too hot). Great set up BTW, may as well start takeaway business.

[@tonyb83]

Where did you get the oven? How much was it? Thanks...

[@tofu247]

Where'd you buy the wood logs from?

[@pizzafireman]

I don't have much storage space so i buy small bags of logs maybe two at a time from my local diy store or b and m home store (uk) Always seasoned hard wood or kiln dried. Thanks for watching 🍕 ✌️

[@AgusSetiawan-vz7rr]

Whats the dimensions of the oven?

[@traceypotts9425]

I make a 70 percent

[@karlsmith1533]

Nice vid but using a pizza turner as to move the fire….NO!…

[@pizzafireman]

I always clean it after moving wood. I do intend to get a separate one eventually. Remember though the pizza is sat on a stone floor where fire ash has been anyway. Thanks for watching 🍕 ✌️

[@traceypotts9425]

Just get a ouni Karu

[@pizzafireman]

I enjoy the playing with a large oven and fire 🔥 😆✌️

[@zlonewolf]

Ooni karu isnt a pizza oven. Its a grill with a small hood and charcoal tray. In reviews it always under cooks the pizza. This oven he has a big chimney and proper stone at the bottom.

[@traceypotts9425]

Wow it's really bad watching someone struggling with the smallest things lmao

Go away.
