  • Went better than mine, first fucking pizza split coming off the peel and left me with this immediately.

    as you can probably guess things did not improve from that point, i was fucking livid (and hungry).

    spent this morning going over the stone with the ooni oven brush until it felt smooth then ran it at full tilt for about 90 minutes and thankfully it seems to be coming back. waiting for it to cool so i can rotate the stone 180 and get the burnt bits at the front. am bit pissed it lost it's box fresh appearance already though but I'll get over it.

    was using the half door yesterday and the two pizza we did manage to launch were both undercooked so I'm trying tonight with the full door to see if i have any better luck. half door is nice but the low angle of entry made it impossible to easily retrieve the fucked up pizza and instead it just got pushed further back instead. think it's probably more suited to a less windy day. will have to experiment further

  • I was lucky enough to experience my first launch failure when I was rehearsing it - made a mess on the worktop, not on the stone. After that, I had a better handle on how much to flour the peel, and how much faffing about I could get away with.
