The toughest thing is getting it in there when it is still dough if you didn't use enough flower in the dough or didn't put enough cornmeal down to prevent it from sticking. The dough hardens up some by the time you rotate it.

I got an Ooni Fyra for Christmas and have now done 4 or 5 cooks on it. On the plus side, it's really portable, and you could take it camping or on a picnic really easily. The rolling fire inside is fun to watch and gives it a backyard wood fired feel. There's a bit of a learning curve to getting the pellets going and the hopper full but not too full too quickly, and I feel like I have that down. In cold wet temps last night, it took about 25 minutes to get to 900 degrees--that probably goes faster at lower elevation and higher temps. And the pizza is fantastic--if nothing else, the dough recipe they include is the best combo of ease and goodness that I've found.
On the other hand though--it has a hard time keeping temps up. As the pellet tray fills up with burned and partially burned pellets, it's hard to keep a good rolling flame going and the temp high. By the fifth pie last night, it was in the 600s. Still good enough for good pizza, but it's really a different cook then, with a different ideal dough (and at that point, I can do it in my indoor oven, so what's the point?). And the whole production can get pretty smoky.
So I took advantage of their return policy and turned it in. I think I may go for the koda or the roccbox. Wood-fired is fun and cool, but I think propane is just more practical.
Anyone else playing around with an outdoor oven?At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

Still loving my blackstone oven. Did five pizzas last night and they were all perfect."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Anyone else playing around with an outdoor oven?"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

You guys need to monitor your local Craig's List for a Blackstone pizza oven. Still rocking fantastic pizzas with mine. Works beautifully."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Did Blackstone ever publish why they discontinued production?Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock
