Remember folks these ovens are for Neapolitan pizzas which are totally different to pizza hut type pizzas, these are very thin base crust with chesee, tomato sauce and perhaps mushrooms or onions anchovy or an egg , very few toppings , keep it thin and you will have a perfect pizza.

@billygowhoop2 жыл бұрын
I got mine about a week ago and it's pretty awesome being able to make restaurant quality pizza at home. The one recommendation I have is to not let the oven get too hot. I like to let the stone get to about 800F in the middle. At that temperature, you get cook times that are closer to 90-120 seconds which allows a really nice even cook throughout the pizza. Higher than that, you'll start burning the toppings and edges of the crust before the middle parts of the crust are fully cooked.
@AndersonsSmokeShow2 жыл бұрын
Totally agree!
@Living7162 жыл бұрын

Make sure that you’re not loading the toppings too thick. Also try to lower the temp a little
@rickroll9086 Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the tips! Especially clearing the pellets to get they burning nicely. However, isn’t 850 the perfect temp? 950 seems too hot; adds just a bit too much char? Maybe it’s personal taste, but a true Neapolitan chewy crust isn’t blackened. Looking to buy the oven, but not if it incinerates a great sourdough thin crust Neapolitan pizza? Is the temperature controllable? Obviously have to be patient to build stone temperature, but can you cap/damper and maintain a 850-900 temperature?

Thank you for showing us how to use the fyra. you need to get yourself a slotted peel. when there's too much flour under the dough, you can shake it off right before launching. and as you have probably found out by now, any wood/pellet pizza ovens are not great for non-neapolitan pizzas. you need either gas or just a home oven if you want a thick crust pizzas.
@AndersonsSmokeShow3 ай бұрын
Yeah I've learned quite a bit more about this Fyra since I got it. People will say I am wrong, BUT when I got my Fyra (little ole' never used a pizza oven me) there wasn't really guidance even from Ooni as to what the Fyra was meant for. Would a pizza expert know that it would be for Neapolitan style pizza? Sure. Would a person who buys DiGiorno on a regular basis? No. lol. I was that guy, and it took some learning to get to the point where I truly understood what this was for. I saw you commented on my "Ugly Truth" video as well. People were pissed in the comments and the truth is, even Ooni's documentation didn't spell out exactly and my entire point was I'd rather have the gas than pellet.
@louisfain3 ай бұрын
@@AndersonsSmokeShow yes understandable. it took me many months and many pizzas in the trash to finally get the process down. also in my opinion, Karu firing on wood has the steepest learning curve of all ooni ovens, and Koda 12 also runs too hot even on gas. I recommend the roccbox or koda 16 if you want full control.

the key with this oven is to be quick and managing temperature. You can cook when the temp reaches north of 450 celsius and need to cool it down when it's higher than 500 (below 450 the top will cook perfectly but the bottom will stay a little raw - above 500 the bottom easily burns). To cool it down when it gets too hot it's enough to have the chimney valve at 45 degrees. And yes you need to keep the door closed as much as possible. I manage to cook 5 perfect Neapolitan pizzas pizzas in around 10 min and just 1 tank of pellets, first turn after 20/30 max, depending on stone temp and dough hydration. Then 2 more turns after 15/20 secs each and pizza is done. Just have the dough and ingredients prepared, stretch it to 80% of the size in advance so you don't waste time between each pizza. I have not experienced issues with the stone cooling down. It takes a bit of practice with the pizza shovel, a quick insert below the pizza and then the right movements to get it out without pushing it on the fire, on the first tries you might find it difficult to get the pizza out. I find the learning process part of the charm of this oven, definitely not for those who want something easy and foolproof, they should get an electric pizza oven. From the looks of it it seems to me your stone is getting too hot, you want a toasted bottom, but not burned black. Thanks for sharing your experience in your video, it helped me decide on the purchase of this oven

Combustion gives off moisture. Pellets begin to degenerate (melt) in moisture. Thus the pellets waiting to drop start to melt together. I find keeping the hopper much less than full and more frequently adding smaller scoups works great. And occassionally id needed push a screwdriver down into the hopper and pellets to bust them up a bit.

Great video. I've used 3 brands of pellets. The low end ones seemed to have too much water in them. As the pellets in the hopper warmed, they expanded and got stuck resulting in low temps. I've switched back to a different brand and generally I haven't had much probablem with the self-feeding. I usually cook about four pizzas back to back...then rest for about five minutes to get the temp back up and add some pellets. Question for you: do you ever clean your stone in between pizzas with a brush? As noted in this video, sometimes the flour used to role out the dough results in some char on the stone that gets picked up by the following pizza.

Make sure your chimney damper is wide open, keep the door on to let that stone get up to temp... and as far as pellets go, make sure the fire is going well before adding any to the hopper and when you start to add them be sure to just add a little at first. Then after a moment or so you should be able add to the hopper.

One tip for people who are having trouble rolling it out into a flat circle, a rolling pin can really make things much easier. Throwing the pizza in the air to stretch it out definitely looks cool but you can get a much more even layer of dough by using a rolling pin. Also make sure you move your dough around the peel every couple minutes. When I just leave the dough on the peel for an extended period of time, the dough will stick to the peel and sliding it into the oven will be a nightmare. I recommend shuffling the pizza around a bit frequently before you put it in.

Did you try someone to use instead of pellets small pieces of hardwood?

I'm thinking, if to buy Ooni Fyra or Karu. Fyra is cheaper, but I have a hard wood at home...

My challenge in using mine is keeping to fire going for 10 pizzas. I can’t believe that you are getting flames up the front pipe. How do you get that fire?

I make sure to slowly add the pellets to keep it from getting smothered... once it’s going good I just keep adding pellets

I’ve got the oven also, my issue is that after cooking the first pizza successfully & second not too bad either the temperature drops on the stone gradually. Maybe it’s the hopper thing you said but it’s annoying the hell outa me. Once I get to pizza 6 or 7 I’m waiting ages to try to get the temperature up!

Yeah I would check that hopper and use the lid in between pizzas to help maintain or heat up the stone temp

Should have said this Ages ago really but … thanks Like you, a year or more back I’d say “bbq guy” but I wanted to make pizza and breads etc. I used all your content before and after I bought a Fyra and everything you said is correct. Especially the ‘hopper jam’ bit. Wind forward a while, I still have the Fyra which I love and just got a Karu 16 for permanent based home use and because I could (got a bonus) and because of the space. Fyra I take to friends places and when we travel, Karu 16 weighs just a bit more than a small planet so that stays home. Cheers for all your vids and for all. I learned from them, much appreciated

Funny but I’m filming an “ugly truth” video on the Fyra and talk about the Karu and the other better (for most people) options

Two questions. Any issues with the level of ash acumulation after and during the cook? Just curious, ever tried putting in a small wood chunk or couple of lump charcoals? I'm torn between the Pelet and the duel fuel Ooni fired pizza oven. Thank you.

David Astrero I have not just for the simple fact that they say that it’s pellet only. I’m afraid that it could do some irreversible damage to my oven. In terms of ash I haven’t really had any issues, but I always clean it out once it’s cool. Thanks for watching David!
