Trying out our new pizza oven!

[@reginamartino9662]

You are supposed to cook the pizza right on top of the stone inside the oven. Lol good video made me laugh. Thank you

[@Carrosive]

8:47 Yea he figured that out

[@decmannix]

Yep, they are called "stone" baked. Not "teflon" baked. Lol. You also need to use a little flour so that it slides off and onto the stone, the flour will stop it sticking to the stone.

Fun video. I'm pretty sure you've ditched those pans by now. Thanks for posting!

[@sigiSLO]

I love it cause it's an honest review involving beginner mistakes we ALL go trough. I'm not sure why are all the "i know how to do it better" comments necessary. I'm searching for something like this and i guess this oven has multiple names in different countries (it's ventura ibrido here) or just companies rebranding the same product. I like that it's a multifuel oven with all the needed accessories included. I was sceptical of it reaching the desired temp, but you demonstrated it does reach it pretty quick. Thanks and enjoy all the pizzas - i bet you mastered the dought and the semolina&pizza peel launch by now.

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Thank you. 👍🏻

[@Patricksadie67]

I loved the bird on the sheeps back ! 😂

[@gregstarr5783]

Great video, we've all been there.. My first few pizzas ended up as calzones beacuse they fell apart so much :) The door on yours goes in under the lip at the top first, then push the bottom in. Thats why your door kept faling off..

[@PaulJosseZaman]

Really enjoyed your video - thinking myself of getting one Thanks for the review

[@carllowe8065]

whats your overal impression of it as im looking into getting one cheers

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Hi Carl, thanks for the comment. Overall I like it. It’s took a couple of goes to get the hang of it, especially figuring out how to stop the pizza dough sticking to the pizza peel (the big spatula). As you probably saw in the video the first attempt it was a bit of a disaster! Semolina seems to be the way forward. 👍🏻

[@ll_spud]

Looks like a neat little unit. How's the black outer body paint holding up? Any flaking like the ooni ovens? Thinking of getting myself one as well. Thanks

[@ThatllDoVlog]

It’s been ok so far. But to be fair only used it about half a dozen times over the summer. It’s a decent little oven (now I’ve got the hang of it!!) 😀

[@mrdeanlampard]

Really Enjoyed the video! Sorry if you mentioned in the video already, but which brand of oven is this?

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Thanks Dean. It is the Alfresco Chef Ember. 👍🏻

[@enzodisciullo2557]

Great effort, great vid, must get me one, each pizza you make you'll get better and better. There are so many "how to" vids to watch you'll be a fully qualified Neapolitan pizzaiolo in no time!

[@70Zhukov70]

You went through the trouble for all of us noobies, thanks for the lesson

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Thank you. Once you get the hang of it, it’s great! 😀

[@larrybuchanan778]

Thanks for the video. We unwrapped ours today, same make different brand name. Ours was listed as a wood pellet pizza oven. We’ll see how the pellets go. I know from other videos that you cook directly on the stone. Use corn flower on the pizza peel to make the crust slide off of the peel.

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Hope you enjoy it. Semolina is also a good tip to stop the pizzas sticking. 👍🏻😀

[@jonbishop1385]

I wonder if putting the Pizza on parchment paper would have worked well ? just grabbing the corners of the paper to turn it ?

[@stevelufc64]

That's how I do it ideally you can get your dough not to stick so you can go peel to stone but I'm not there yet

[@allstarthrifter9355]

Arent you supposed to use wood pellets?

[@ThatllDoVlog]

According to the instructions you can use either. Following this video though I did move onto wood pellets. 👍🏻

[@Durfenhurf]

Everyone seems to be saying to use semolina but in my experience, corn meal works great. It's what our local places always use and it's like having little wheels on the bottom of the pizza. Also, don't go out to the edge with the sauce and toppings and the stone will stay cleaner. Cleaning the stone is easy, just fire it up and let it run empty. Then just brush the ashes off. Also, try wood pellets instead of the whole pieces of wood. They get hotter.

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Good tips. Thank you. 😀👍🏻

[@Stephenphillips29UK]

Where did you get this from?

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Alfresco Chef. It’s called the Ember.

[@thomaseddy740]

For future reference to this guy next time use cornmeal on the bottom of your dough or use oil if you got a pizza stone, preferably cornmeal and it won’t stick and you put it directly on the stone

[@jamillefrancisco564]

"It's not bad, its not pizza" 😂 I can tell because you're eating it with a knife and fork 😂😂😂

[@TheDjchriscollins]

So glad it wasn't just me who had a disaster first time I used mine. Practice does make perfect. Going to try again today....after buying semolina 🤣🤣 great video, thanks

[@ThatllDoVlog]

🤣Yes. I’m sure there have been a few first time disasters. 🤣

[@TheDjchriscollins]

Yeah but I cooked mine at the wrong 400°, a sloppy mess lol

[@TheDjchriscollins]

Just made the best pizza ever....my 9 year old lad said.....happy Dad, semolina ftw

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Nice one. 👍🏻

[@jamesallen7415]

tbh I tried with slicer, pizza don't come off it, too doughy, this seems like best solution give it min in tray, then use slicer, I like this idea, I'm going to try today.... lol

[@sdhailey1]

Entertaining for sure

[@davidbutcher5788]

I have this Pizza oven too. It's such an effort to maintain the temperature above 300 degrees and it uses a ton of wood to get there. Given up with it! More effort than reward.

[@pimpogluti7951]

Spicy Chorizo or normal chorizo mixes very well in a pizza or pasta with onion (the more caramelized, the better) and capers. Tells you a spaniard.

[@l.p3872]

I have this and was so frustrated. I could not get the temp past 400. Also, the flame inside kept dying out. So no flame over the pizza. I used wood chips and lump charcoal. Kept filling it up to capacity and it just wouldn’t get hot. I enjoyed your video though.

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Hi. Thanks for the comment. 👍🏻 Ive had the same problem with temperature. This video was the first occasion I used the oven and I got good temperature but subsequently I struggled to get over 300c. I contacted Alfresco Chef and they suggested making sure that the oven back was facing into the wind so that it was getting plenty of air. I’ve had good temps since but it does seem dependent on the amount of wind.

[@l.p3872]

@@ThatllDoVlog Thanks! I will try that next time. Your video was very helpful. Until I master this, it seems like the level of effort doesn’t match the payoff. Lol. Didn’t feel like shipping it back...so now it’s mine for better or worse. Thanks again!

[@milliepaterson2758]

Use a small fan

[@joeviking61]

What a great Dad !

[@carolinehorne5218]

Try pre rolling them, and parchment between them, semolina on to paddle, build as you need them or get additional paddles 😉

[@o.j.wolanyk7756]

don't roll dough. use your fingers and push the air bubble to the outside diameter. rolling gives you very dense pizza crust.

[@francowalters3958]

Put flower on that think you use to put pizzas in bro ;)

[@Tarek.379]

There's the same pizza oven but it also works on gas too, anyone got it? Is it good?

[@DiamondSu48]

Flour a sheet of baking paper / foil lay fresh pizza on top. Use pizza paddle to lift from paper and slide onto stone. Flour will stop pizza from sticking. Enjoy! Made me hungry. Off to feed my lot with new table top pizza oven. Not as snazzy as yours but hopefully a meal to enjoy this sunny day. ☀️

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Thank you. There’s nothing like home made pizza. Enjoy 😀👍🏻

[@marvadennis2395]

It looks good but why didn’t you cook it straight on the pizza stone

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Incompetence 😂 The dough had stuck to the metal trays! I’ve got the hang of it now. 👍🏻

[@bear01745]

Lol so funny Paul , I know how hard it is trying to get the dough onto the pizza stone they make it look so easy don’t they mate. One tip is if you have semolina on the underside of the dough it tends to slide much easier but really think it’s practice makes perfect 😉👍. Phil.

[@michaelgallagher6232]

Well did the pizza peel come with it

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Yes. Came as a package. 👍🏻

[@Leodensian2305]

Hopefully you've got the hang of it by now, but I think your dough was too wet due to a. not proving enough and b. putting the toppings on too early and further hydrating the base. If you struggle with making your own dough then both Pizza Express and The Northern Pizza Dough company make excellent ready made frozen dough

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Thanks Steve. 👍🏻 Yeah now moved onto the pizza express dough, which works really well. 😀

[@dominicspencer7905]

Use a flour and semolina mix and ensure stretched dough is well covered. Make on pizza peel should slide off. 🤞🤞✌

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Dominic Spencer Thanks. Just bought some Semolina today. 👍🏻

[@angelenahamer4635]

Use plain flour on the big spatula and the putt raw pizza on it will slide off easily

[@michaelgallagher6232]

Just ordered one burnhead pizza oven

[@burtgreicher6629]

Put some semolina on the pizza peel,stretch the dough and put it on...then put the toppings..shake the peel to make sure the dough isnt stuck..then stick it in the oven and you are good to go sir!

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Thank you. 👍🏻

[@JavierMaldonado_n2jkw]

A real honest review!

[@JavierMaldonado_n2jkw]

BTW, I did enjoy the video. I just got a similar oven yesterday. Took me some time because it had no instructions. Things we all go through as consumers. Enjoy life, pizza, and time with others. I think that is the essence of us buying things like this.

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Absolutely. Thank you for watching & for your comments. Enjoy your pizza. 😀🍕

[@josefschwehr9887]

Omg, what are you doing 😂

[@roryrubymace3749]

Cornmeal on the peel, and shuffle it on to the stone 👍🏼

[@mhazel4777]

if you sprinkle a little cornmeal on the pill put the pizza on and it should slide off onto the stone don't use the tray

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Thank you. 👍🏻

[@PaulD7nil]

I turned off when you said pineapple..

[@ThatllDoVlog]

🤣 Don’t start that debate. 🍕😂

[@MrHappyman177]

When rolling the dow put semolina on the bottom of the pizza and on the the pizza spatula thing and on the stone too it should slide out easy then, using the pizza trays at the beginning is a good idiea for pizzas to harden up and to avoid any breaks

[@davidhayes1566]

I think the pizza is supposed to go straight on the stone

[@ThatllDoVlog]

David Hayes Thank you. Pizza dough got stuck to the tray so it had to go in with the pizza 🤦‍♂️. Getting better at it now. 👍🏻

[@826bmp]

Throw cornmeal on the cook surface

[@CubicSumo]

You are supposed to put the dough directly into the pizza stone not on a tray!

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Thank you. Yeah, dough got stuck to the tray so I had to try & cook it that’s way. 🤦‍♂️. Getting better at it now. 👍🏻

[@sharon-startingafreshat50]

Flour - so it doesn’t stick

[@raymondprinsen9901]

Best advice: check out Vito Iacopelli on YT!!

[@PaulJosseZaman]

Try semolina :)

[@sheikha6088]

Flour the dough really well, and add flour to the pizza peel. Assemble the pizza on the pizza peel itself very quickly. Then slide onto the stone. Hope this helps!

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Sheikha Thank you. 👍🏻

[@zeez9053]

Why s it so difficult to differentiate it from gas or wood many times in video that’s annoying

[@stevcom2958]

[@ThatllDoVlog]

Thanks. 👍🏻🤣 Much better at it now. 😎

[@saraht-ds1ml]

Let the dough sit in the fridge to set before you cook it! It will help with the tray problem. Absolutely fantastic idea. Great effort 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 well done.

[@o.j.wolanyk7756]

you dont want cold dough. cold dough is hard to work with, doenst have the air pockets you need, and also cools the oven down too much

[@allstarthrifter9355]

Actually you want the dough to sit out at room temp for at least 30 min.
