Poochie Posted March 9, 2022 Report Posted March 9, 2022 I see that the pizza stone is a full 16". Has anyone with a Bambino cooked some pizza on it? I would guess it doesn't take too long to get it up to temp considering the size. Baked any bread in it?
C6Bill Posted March 9, 2022 Report Posted March 9, 2022 I really want one of those title KK’s, I just can’t justify the spend lol
Poochie Posted March 10, 2022 Author Report Posted March 10, 2022 That's why I'd like to hear someone say that it takes 20 minutes to heat up the Bambino with the pizza stone in it. And you're cooking in 45 minutes tops. I can't remember what size tekobo's small cooker is but I'm sure she'll chime in.
David Chang Posted March 10, 2022 Report Posted March 10, 2022 i used to make pizza on the kamado jr. smaller than the kk 16. it's kind of difficult..you have to get very close to the fire. it hurts like hell.

Sorry @Poochie I am not going to give you the positive response that you would like. I find that the Bambino takes longer to get going. The air flow in the 23 and 32 gets the fire going quicker. I tend to need to go back to the 16 a couple of times to ensure it is lit and that takes more time. You will also end up with a relatively small pizza. All in all, I would recommend a 23 as a second KK if you already have a 32 and not the 16. I have all three but I accept that is a bit excessive! 1
Poochie Posted March 10, 2022 Author Report Posted March 10, 2022 I would have never thought that about the Bambino. If you got the pizza stone, wasn't it a 16 incher? That would be a nice size pizza. Thanks for the info,
tekobo Posted March 10, 2022 Report Posted March 10, 2022 Hi @Poochie. No, I did not get the pizza stone for the 16. It won't be a 16 inch pizza either. See below for dimension of the main grate. 1
Poochie Posted March 10, 2022 Author Report Posted March 10, 2022 OK, back to square one. You saved me lots of time. Thank you! Do you have a pizza oven or do you do them on the bigger KK's? I promise that's the last question I'll ask you! 1

I buy pizzas or, occasionally, make them on the 23 or 32. We have a good local Pinsa place with super tasty toppings. Their pinsas are good and they humour me and let me practise my Italian on them. The full immersive experience without the cost of my own pizza oven! 1
Poochie Posted March 12, 2022 Author Report Posted March 12, 2022 I'm going to line up 3 or 4 to do to make it worth while. But buying them Is much easier!
