Update 6 months later:Despite an encouraging start I don't think we will get much more use out of this oven I'm afraid.We've had a lot of goes now, with a lot of trial and error, but we usually end up disappointed / frustrated and wish we'd just ordered from the local pizza restaurant instead.While I'm sure these ovens "can" cook a delicious pizza under exactly the right conditions, there are just too many variables to count on reliable results. We normally make our own dough using strong flour and have tried various brands and recipes. Also tried out the frozen balls. Tried cooking in the winter (when we first got the oven) and over the Spring and into summer. And got a laser heat thermometer to make sure the stone was up to the recommended temperature (@450). Also watched loads of youtube vids on how to use it.But really, it's all still hit or miss if you get a nice or even edible dinner. And you have to constantly top up the pellets to keep it going. Maybe a gas burner would achieve better more consistent results? I don't know, but our oven is slowly making its way to to the dark corner of the garden where the rusty old bikes and broken flower pots live.A real shame because we had such high hopes for this :(We've been after a pizza oven for a couple of years, but the main brand was just too expensive to justify. So when I spotted this in a black friday deal, and going by the other rave reviews, figured it was worth a go.The quality seems much better than I expected. Stainless steel and still bright and shiny after a few winter months. We've used it @ 6 times so far and the results have been mixed. There's definitely a bit of skill / learning curve involved to get the best out of it.It gets up to temperature (hotter than the sun) in about 20 mins and really does cook your pizza in about 60 secs. Honestly, it's so quick, you do have to keep checking on it / turning your pizza to avoid it turning into a charred crisp. We had issues sliding the pizza off the peel at first, with the topping sliding onto the bottom of the oven and the base left behind on the peel! A small dusting of flour / semolia on the peel sorted that out.Looking forward to some warmer weather when we can experiment some more, but the results so far have been very encouraging :) Even stuck some chicken tikka pieces in the furnace on a tray - @ 4 mins and it was perfect tandoori style chicken.

I'd coveted a pizza oven for years, but they always seemed to be in the £250 - £300 bracket, which I couldn't really justify spending. Then I saw the Big Horn which cost less than £150 and had really good reviews - so I bought one...and have loved it ever since!The quality of the pizzas after just a minute or two cooking is exceptional - like from a proper pizzeria. I've not bothered with an infrared thermometer to check if the pizza stone is hot enough - just wait until you see flames coming out of the chimney and you're good to go! We've had a few pizza parties over the summer, and our friends and family have been extremely impressed.The only slight niggle is keeping the pellets topped up to maintain the heat, but I suspect this is the same with any pellet fired pizza oven - and there's something infinitely more satisfying cooking with wood rather than gas!I would definitely highly recommend.

Amazing for anyone's first pizza oven, had a fair use of it before the handle gave way, didn’t get any response from the seller for a replacement but made my own. Honestly can’t complain for the price paid and how much I’ve used .
