Away for a couple of nights and have one similar to the link. Has anyone used one for Pizza?
Does the fire just go in the pit on top or in the oven section?

No info in the property and cant find a manual online
Have fresh dough and toppings but no idea.

Thanks

Those look really good, saw one at a show and quite tempted to get the big one. The guy at the show said it goes in the oven section, under the bowl. Let me know if it's any good, they looked really pretty much ideal for what we have planned.

Thank you very much. Pistonheads to the rescue.
We have fire. Had a Pic but cant resize on my phone.
Will update
It has a raking tool which now makes sense is for moving the embers around in the oven section

First one with just garlic oil and some parmesan as a test took ages. Not too bad
Added more wood and pushed to the back.

Second one with with mozzarella cooked/burnt almost instantly on the top but was stuck to the Pizza Pan. Had to heat from underneath to cook the bottom - got the fire pit going as well.

Third one a better. Great taste but not crispy on the bottom. Used the holed Pizza Pan supplied. May have been better on the base of the oven. No Peel provided.

I think with practice it would be a great bit of kit. Charcoal at the top. Wood in the bottom.

PS. Which Oil for a Mazda 6 2.5 Petrol to convey me to the local Eatery?

Took some Pics if you are interested Opie Man?

Probably a 5w-30, depends on the year of the car. Let me know.

Basically, we're building a house and as I do all the cooking, the kitchen and BBQ area are down to me. It's tempting to get the smoker, bbq, firepit, pizza oven etc all built by the builder, but when I saw those, I thought that covers the BBQ, firepit and pizza oven all in one, then a separate smoker (I use the smoker we have a lot, so would want that separate from the rest). I used a proper pizza oven for the first time over the summer and it came out really well, the effort was worth it as I was cooking for 8, but for a couple of us, an easier option (and less than a wheelbarrow of wood) would be preferred

Thinking about it, I'm sorry I've only just thought of this, but I have a feeling there is supposed to be a pizza stone that goes on top, you put the pizza on there to start with then into the oven to finish it off.

I would have thought a Pizza Stone would go into the Oven. Or suspect they just go onto the base of the Oven
At Home we use 2 Pizza Stones preheated in the 3 Burner Gas Weber for 20 Mins. Crispy based Pizzas in 4-5 Mins.

This thing is sat on the Patio. OK height for BBQ but a little awkward to operate the Pizza Oven.
Probably a lot easier with a long handled Peel
