ALFRESCO CHEFPure Wood Pellets for Outdoor Wood Fired Pizza Ovens & Pellet Grills – Easy to Light – 10kg - Beech

These pellets are a perfect cost effective alternative to the "Official" OONI pellets.They effectively work in the same way. I find them easy to light and they burn well.The differences compared to OONI pellets.● These pellets will smoke slightly more than OONI wood pellets● These pellets will leave a touch of Ash once burned out. I find this doesn't affect cooking quality....and doesn't build up enough to cause oven problems. Sometimes I have these burning for a while and cook many pizzas.I will be buying these again. 10kg for far less than OONI charge for a 3kg bag. Simple!As a bonus I simply fill my small 3kg OONI bag with these pellets for ease of logistics....and my guests are not aware of pellets differences.Great Product!

Firstly, I haven't used the official Ooni pellets as they were out of stock when I bought my Fyra. So I can't compare these to the manufacturer's recommended pellets.Others have rated this product poorly and stated that if using with the Fyra these pellets clog up the grate once burned and so you can't cook multiple pizzas.Personally, I found these fine and have been able to cook multiple pizzas without any issue. It's true that after burning they don't all turn into fine ash and drop neatly into the grate, but before I cooked on the Fyra I watched multiple videos which suggested that the gravity feed tube on the Fyra often has this issue regardless of which pellets you use. Having a huge stack of pellets sitting on the fire grate is always going to block the airflow on the Fyra somewhat which will affect the heat of the fire, which is a bit of a design flaw really. I should also note that based on my research, I have not attempted to fill the pellet hopper on the Fyra with these pellets.I found these pellets to cook well and maintain a high temperature when topping up little and often. I pour a scoopful of pellets down the back of the tube/hopper so they get a bit of momentum when they hit the grate, which forces them to bounce forwards a little to displace any ash there. I have been able to keep a good fire going this way and had no issues cooking multiple pizzas. The first time I used these with the Fyra I kept a fire going for half an hour as per the manual to burn off any chemicals from the manufacturing process, and then I cooked four small pizzas at above 400c.If buying these for the Fyra I would recommend not filling the hopper, but adding a scoop every few minutes to maintain a good cooking temperature while cooking.

I have a wood pellet burning Ooni oven and decided to go with a different brand due to price…..mistake! First time of use with these pellets and could tell straight away that oven wasn’t getting as hot compared to Ooni’s own pellets. When I added more pellets there was alot of smoke! Forth he sake of another £10, I’ll be getting another bag from Ooni to get that heat back in the oven. Maybe these pellets need out in my airing cupboard to dry out more but no use for cooking as they are 🤷🏻‍♂️

Used for the 1st time in pizza oven, couple of handfuls initially in the pizza oven, only took a minute to catch light. Burnt fairly quick so added a few more handfuls. Done the job and will get a lot of pizza out of 1 bag. Don't know about taste added to the pizza by the wood smoke as nothing to compare with. Will be buying another bag when this is near end and will compare to another flavour.

Bought the beech wood pellet as a replacement for the official Ooni beech wood pellet. It seemed logical that on paper they were identical but better value. I was wrong. If you have an Ooni I really would not recommend.The moisture content is too high. Even with really good airflow they don't burn as you'd expect or want, making near impossible to regulate the temperature.They're probably fine or even great for other applications e.g. smokers. Not for pizza oven. Trust me. If its for a pizza oven look elsewhere!

Used these in my Ooni Fyra 12 and they worked great. Some other reviews mentioned problems but I had no trouble with the beech ones.

Bought as alternative to ooni pellets , just as good , burn well and good value for money .

Have always used the ooni pellets for the pizza oven and found these just as good.
