Finally I've found somewhere selling it discounted.
Uuni 3 is the definitive tool for your garden or outdoor kitchen. It’s designed specifically to take the cost, bulk and hassle out of using a wood-fired oven.
An evolution of the highly acclaimed Uuni 2S, Uuni 3 reaches 500°C in just 10 minutes and can cook an authentic wood-fired pizza in an incredible 60 seconds. The patent-pending oven runs on wood pellets which are very energy-dense and inexpensive.
How do you go cooking multiple pizzas?
I feel like you would need to wait a while between each one to get some heat back into the stone. Is that the case, or can you do a production line?
You can only fit one in at a time (unless they are super small), but once the heat is up and ready (3-400 degrees usually) they cook super quick, perhaps 2 minutes tops per pizza? that includes rotating it after about a minute so you don't burn the side closest. I usually prepare all the bases, then the first 2 pizzas toppings. Then I get other people to chuck what they want on their pizza (if you have people up for it it makes for an awesome party idea, just allow for that 20 minutes or so to setup and get the heat up and ready).
Now I have an oven with no stone, so I don't know how that affects things, but it usually involved me having at least two metal…. pizza holding handle tray things to push pizzas in and slide them out as needed. With just one it takes a lot longer.
Very very good pizza oven these ☺️
I'd just like to say curse you op, I bought one. I've been wanting one for a while now and was trying to justify the cost of the Pro (as I like to do bread), or waiting for the gas attachment.
But I'm tired of waiting.
Also For anyone else considering, consider buying the Green mountain "gold pellets" with it from the seller unless you happen to have a source nearby.
I forgot to but doubt I can refund and replace an order and reuse the coupon code, but hopefully there should be someone within 40 minutes selling some.
Some useful info for those looking into it, it looks like it requires 550G of wood pellets to fully heat and cook one pizza according to one youtuber. Maybe 650 for two pizzas I'm not sure. Could also vary a bit with outdoor temps, wind, pellet type, pellet feed speed, and cooks experience.
Haha, it's terrible timing for us right after Christmas but I could not resist after keeping tabs on prices for so long. Missed a black friday sale so jumped on this.
Then remembered shortly after buying that I have $200 worth of eBay vouchers…
What was the black friday sale in terms of uuni 3?
Aw man thats rough with the vouchers, oh well you'll find something to spend em on I'm sure.
Yeah those pellets figures are probably accurate. You burn through a lot getting it up to heat, but if you batch your pizzas in then you can do a heap for little pellet cost.
The most annoying thing is not having all the pizzas ready to go and maintaining the heat for no reason in the oven haha
Ok well 550g seems pretty acceptable. BBQs galore has some super cheap 15kg ($15) maxi heat wood pellets.
Not sure how hot you can get off them but apparently it burns clean enough once you get to temp so probably worth a try or maybe doing a 50/50 mix with GMG pellets.
As for multiple pizzas, I usually make two or three then just keep shaking them on the peel to keep them from sticking every 1-2 minutes and things work out all right. I'm more concerned about the time necessary to bring the stone temperature back up.
Bunnings now sells pellets too. Just need to be careful as most pellets are used for smoking. You want the fuel source not the smoke. I'd try maybe Oak pellets?
oak also generates smoke ….. all,pellets will. are smoke but your are using the radiated heat and letting the smoke escape.
if you wanted smokeless / neutral heat you use charcoal , i have pure charcoal beads, no fillers, .
i don’t have a pizza oven but do a lot of smoking.
this unit looks tempting, i can handle the heat up times and the bbq galore $15 15kg fuel bill.
Anyone else get theirs yet?
My pellets arrived Wednesday, and my oven arrived Today!
Just did my burn in to see how how everything goes and my stone got to 485 c on the back and 450 in the middle, 430 at the front, and 525 and over my temp gauge on the back side wall and ceiling. (infrared temp gauge can't read above 600c but it was also set to read ceramic material not steel). conditions were a little more windy then I liked and I used the $15 Maxiheat pellets from BBQs galore. They smell ok when burning but they do have the warning on the bag, but I assume thats meant more as a don't be an idiot and eat these like cereal and we're putting this here so you can sue us kinda thing.

I also put a aluminum cake tin filled with water behind it just in case any pellets or embers fell out the back.
I found with my feed gauge screwed all the way in that I needed to feed it a scoop and a half or so every five minutes.
Once you get it started, and fill up the hopper, after five minutes take the hopper lid off top it off, and give the hopper a tap with the lid to give it a jostle and then top up again.
Once my fuel burned out I tipped the glowing coals into the cake tin with water.
Going to try again tonight and see if I can get any fire out the chimney or a glowing tube.
Yep! Got mine yesterday and gave it a run tonight.
Cooked 5 pizzas on it and all turned out good, struggled to get it hot enough though but then realised the hopper attachment on the back wasnt sitting right and there was a gap letting air through.
BBQs galore said the maxi heat pellets weren't food safe so I got some GMG pellets instead.
Surprised at how quick the pellets burnt though and it caught me out a couple of times.
Will be pizzas all weekend!
I could only get mine to about 430-450 deg C. I cooked 6 pizzas in it and I was very happy with the results, they took about 90-120 seconds to cook. I found that if you didn't give it a little bit of time between pizzas for the stone to recover you needed extra time to cook the next pizza.
It does seem to chew through more pellets than the reviews suggested. I went through about 1kg of pellets to cook the 6 pizzas.
Now I just need to work on my pizza dough recipe!
I've got an original uuni and God. Damn are they good. Wood pellets are a bit trickier in aus for some silly reason, I ended up buying a few kg at a time from some smokey BBQ place online.
But yeah the uuni itself is very portable, to the point you can take it camping and good legendary stuff with it. Since the first one they've moved to more heat resistant metal, and a taller Height for stuff as well.
