The idea of a brick pizza oven is so much better than the reality. I built one 5 years ago, probably used it about 10 times. It takes bags of wood and ages to heat up, it's just a bit of a messy faf. It does look very cool though.
There are a few things I would do differently if I was going to build one again. Admittedly I did build it using reclaimed materials which maybe contributing to its poor performance.
The weather has got to it and it needs some repairs, it would cost about £800 to repair and improve it.
So I bought an Uuni Pro instead, it's a million times better. As you say very quick to heat up, you can just cook in it whenever you want. The brick you had to plan a week ahead.
I've got the gas and pellet burners but so far have just used wood and charcoal. It cooks brilliantly.
Pizza obviously, but I've done bread and even a leg of lamb. Still lots to experiment with I've only had it a week.
Full disclosure:I work for John Lewis so get 25% staff discount off the Uuni 😄
