Icefever Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 We both like a pizza every now and then....I've even thought about building a small clay oven. I've seen Youtube vids from guys using clay pots, vids of guys making "oven tops" from a thin tin sheet. I've had a plan in my head for a while now on using a small steel drum on top of a bbq. I came across these pizza oven boxes a while back but thought that they were overpriced. Out of all the types I could find, the Bakerstone seemed well made. While surfing yesterday I hit this Costco https://www.costco.co.uk/Garden-Sheds-Patio/Barbecues-and-Firepits/Gas-Barbecues/BakerStone-Professional-Series-304-Grade-Stainless-Steel-Pizza-Oven-Accessory-Kit-Cover/p/251768 At £85 it may be just what we want??? because as I've said before we have an old gasser that we never got on with. It's just sat there doing nothing so I'm now thinking a service to check everything ok with the old girl, I know the gas bottle still shows almost full. Buy one of the above, we get our pizzas when we want and the oven can be used for loads of other joints & veg.. also the gasser becomes the power engine for the oven, more control over a gas knob.....and the gasser gets to work for her keep. All I need to clear in my head now is are they as good as they're made out to be??? any thoughts on them and my madness... Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Can not see what they would not work. Lots of heat on the bottom stone, and as long as you get heat rising inside it should make great Pizza. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 This is the construction of them from the maker's site...https://www.bakerstonebox.com/ It does have stone all around, unlike others that only seem to be based on a pizza plate...and then they say to lift the pizza at the last minute up into the lid to help finish the cooking... ?

Smokin Monkey Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Watched the video and it certainly looks to cook a nice Pizza. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 I've just been out to the gasser, turned on the gas, and using a clicker she came back to life. burning like a good un. Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Mind you the bakerstone one includes other things which is good unless you already have them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 I'm not sure but I can't see any stone down the sides and top, unlike the other one. They do a couple of models and I think this is the basic one. Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 What is the point of having stone around? The pizza sits on the bottom. the steel will heat up on the sides and top and emit heat. The stone is to stop the pizza sticking and to diffuse the heat? Plus the firebox one goes over charcoal and gas, the bakerstone one is gas bbqs only ? There is the weber pizza oven too dedicated one and and a sleeve like the rotisserie sleeve but with a slot and shelf for pizza/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Mate I am sure you said this a few times and then all of a sudden another thing turns up, i was starting to think you must have a beautiful pension. Do not forget to Dave some money for the things you want to smoke. Oh and your holiday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 Pension??? just the gov one mate... It's just the way it works out. The pot belly Rosie wanted was £60 Of the bay. The oven £85 from Costco but that should do for now. We'll wait until after the holiday before we go and buy the box of ribs. ? Ice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 tee hee, winding you up pa., tbh in my mind i seen so many of your posts about buying I figured you must be filling up your garden with bbqs! DO show what you cooking with the pot belly. I have mission to make some space in garage and put in electric to get a small freezer. No way a box of ribs would fit in the kitchen freezer, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 We do have 3 large freezers but they are all full of mainly meat that we buy in bulk when we can. Now with the two cards we can pick and choose between Bookers & Costco. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve j Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I have one of the aldi ones cost £40, if you ignore he thermo on the top and get it round to too hot it's perfect cooks pizza in a couple of mins. Well impressed 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Cheers matey...it takes a while to get anywhere near hot enough. I'm going to move the gas jet that's on the side of the bbq and refit it at the rear so that will give me 3 jets underneath. Ice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skagg2000 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Love our Bakerstone. Just rol sough dough pizza base is superb, especially when on 2 for a couple o quid at the supermarket. 4 / 5 minutes with a 180 turn mid way & the results are always top draw. Chicken & Pesto Ham & Mushroom Cheers n Gone Nick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
