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

i don't do much bbqing in the summer as its too hot. 2 min on the roof and i need a shower..

Seven spatchcocked chickens over oak splits on the Santa Maria/Argentinian grill. For once, I didn't build my fire too big.

Hey Jeff, which company made that grill for you? I like everything about it (that I can see)

breakfast pizza on the alfa brio. gas to 650f takes about 30 min. i can go higher but it still cooks well enough at 650. 

as much as i love my kk, i prefer cooking pizza on a pizza oven.

ugly shaping but tasty nonetheless

I have a wood fired Alfa and the flavour is out of this world. Unlike the KKs, which I love I won't be able to use it in the winter. I think the firebricks might explode.

Thanks to the KK shopping network, I ordered an Alfa 4 Pizze last week. Thanks for the advice @tekobo. 

[tekobo]

Tee hee.  Congratulations @jonj!  For the record: you solicited the advice but it was given freely and happily.  I hope you and your new toy will be very happy together.

congrats. 4 pizze is nice a big for 4 pizzas (12"?) but i could never juggle that many. not screwing up 1 pizza is enough already..

consider subscribing to this gentleman on youtube..

Thanks @David Chang, I'll check it out.

jonj, I saw a YouTube of a guy unboxing the 4 Pizze and it took 4 guys to lift it on to the stand.  I didn't realize it was that heavy. One of my nephews has that exact oven and he loves it. Did you order it from BBQ Guys?

[jonj]

@Poochie, I ordered the 4 Pizze with the integral stand, as it comes crated vertically and it can be rolled off the pallet just as our KKs can. I saw the video you described and it was part of my decision process. I then found a great video which showed unboxing the integrated stand version, which sealed the deal for me (I tried to just post the link but somehow the video is below instead - sorry).

I like the radiused front deck of the stand model better, but between the higher cost of a separate stand (I need it mobile on my patio) and the problem of finding a bunch of strapping lads to get it around to the back of the house and on a stand required just too much effort. Art unfortunately had to take second place to Functionality in this case.

I initially looked at BBQ Guys, but instead ordered it from BBQ Authority in Illinois, which had much better customer service reviews. Same price basically between the two.

that integral stand has two hooks in the front to hold tools. very useful and the only model with this feature i believe..

[Poochie]

I had no idea they'd ship in on the stand...or that particular stand. That saves a tremendous amount of gut busting and lifting. I wonder if their other ovens come on the stand when you order them. I would guess not. I can't wait to see your oven unboxed and ready to fire up your first pizza. Best of luck to you.

@Pouchie, I bought a separate table for my 5 Minuti but really it is no big deal to assemble the table. 

 

[Poochie]

I don't have any problem assembling the table. It's lifting 250 pounds to put the cooker on the table that troubles me.  How do you like your 5 minuti? Ever bake bread or desserts in it?
