Outdoor pizza oven

I've just sent a link to the Uuni to my girlfriend requesting it for Christmas. My birthday has already passed, and annoyingly she won't want a pizza oven for her birthday next month

I'm betting it will be good for all sorts, kebabs, breads, pizza, steak, fajitas.

I bought a Roccbox about 2 months ago. I genuinely could not be more impressed with it. Expensive, but it certainly delivers the goods.

Even found a cheap place for the wood pellets.

Morso do a whole range of indoor appliances, have you looked at any of those? http://morsoe.com/en/indoor. Though they're not that different to normal log burners in which case look at Chilli Penguin too: www.chillipenguin.co.uk.

Something more traditional will probably be where I end up, but I'd love to have the Forno work in the space... something about the shape and the open nature of it, plus pizza!

Aren't they just the same stuff they use for cat litter?

Nope, you need the food grade ones. The cat litter ones can have all sorts in them.

Like what, exactly?

Plastic, and other non wood based material.

Show me your evidence for that? Because there is nothing like that present in the cat litter I use.

Evidence, is cat litter doesn't have the food safe approval, that funnily enough food safe versions do have.

Even if they were identical I still wouldn't want to cook food on a fire started by cat litter... You'd certainly need to decant it into different packaging if you had friends over.

That's conjecture, not evidence. There is no such standard. It is a meaningless marketing term, not anything to be taken in an official capacity.

The only standard applied to wood fibre pellets is also applicable to all the producers who make them for other purposes.

There is such a standard. It's based on ISO 17225-2 and ensures the pellets high quality. If there not listed as such they could contain any source of wood, maybe a recycled pallet for instance.
