I had an itch for a 42 KK.  This wood fired oven has helped to scratch that itch.  Enjoying it so far and am happy with the clean up - just normal kitchen size dishes and sweeping up some ash.  Winner alongside my existing kit.

Are you burning oak in it? I'm pretty sure I'd get the wood burning version of a pizza over too.  The one David bought has the room I want in one. I need to look up the Allegro too.  So many toys to admire.

a 4 pizze alfa would be ideal if you are looking for wood burning. it's actually bigger than my brio but smaller than the allegro. 

if space and permanence is not an issue, i would go for a full refractory pizza oven. i only got the alfa because it was the maximum weight and size i could manage to hand carry up stairs. same reason i got a 19 TT, can't bring any bigger up the roof..

From what I have read so far, oak is what you need to get the heat up and beech for a bit of flavour.  At the moment I have a stack of mixed wood to get through but will order some named logs for my next delivery to try out.  I watched this video when I was trying to decide which sort of wood fired oven to get.  I went for the Allegro because it heats up quickly and so uses comparatively less wood per cook.  You don't get the heat retention of more traditional ovens but I figured that I get that from my  KKs.

lobster rolls

i hear they charge $40+ usd for a lobster roll in maine now.. that's terrifying.

Lobster meat was $65 a pound last week when I got some for lobster rolls 

[David Chang]

i think i spent $40 usd on 500 grams of frozen lobster meat. and i could only get this price if i bought 1kg 😂

but a rare treat regardless..

 

 

[C6Bill]

Well it is a much better price than I paid but I didn’t have to buy a kilo 😁 

 

Sad part is I’m less than a 2 hour drive from Maine lol

made a breakfast pizza on the alfa.

its really too hot for slinging pizzas outside in this weather. i want a brick oven built into the wall of my kitchen so i can do this in air conditioned comfort wearing only my underwear…

Naked pizza is one of my favorites! 🍕 😆

Beautiful job on those, David.  You must love to bake as much as barbecuing.
