Yes I am...and clearly I was remembering incorrectly when I posted the above
Sorry for the duff information.

No worries. I thought I was looking at a different steel as this is a carbon steel one. At least it isn’t rusting! Thanks for the help. Extremely useful. I’m going to order one of those after I’ve measured the oven. Which size did you go for?Yes I am...and clearly I was remembering incorrectly when I posted the above

It was actually a (not very subtly hinted at) gift so I'm not sure but I think it's the larger square one.
As I mentioned above, I only gave it a single coat of oil. Now that I'm more awake I'm pretty sure this time I'm not making things up
The coating doesn't need to be as robust as that you'd have in a carbon steel or cast iron pan and the thing is always kept bone dry so it's less prone to rust. That said, my oven only goes up to 260/270C iirc so if you've got something that can do higher you might have a different experience.I had got a ceramic one (less than a tenner), but nonetheless did not get one too large so it did not impede air flow around it in the convector oven,
also recently adopted a stanley blade for just clearing any debris from it when cool (those nice edible cheese overflow bits/crisps)

Where do you guys get pellets for your Uuni pizza ovens?
Just bought one yesterday and thinking there must be cheap alternatives to their own branded stuff.

Look up smoking pellets (for BBQ pellet smokers). You can get massive bags of them for about £7 each iirc. Though with postage you'll want to buy a couple to make it worthwhile.
Still far too expensive I pay £4.02 for 10kg.

Great. Fancy sharing where and how for Hedge's benefit?
looks like it was plumb center from here https://smokingmeatforums.com/threads/uuni-3-pizza-oven-review.260771/page-2
30KG for £10.
See the uni3 is available on ebay £200 .. that would have been a good one to keep in watchlist for the next ebay xmas token (GD)
but the komodo would have BBQ+smoke too - start saving for next xmas.

Pizza steel purchased. Looking forward to making some pizza and bread on this! The oven runs at 300C so should work well

Had our first run of the Uuni a couple of nights ago. Went pretty well! Just gotta work on my pizza sauce a bit as it was slightly more watery than I like. I have cooked down the remainder and I'll be trying that today.
Got some dough left in fridge from Friday. Should be even better now.

I freeze cling'd sourdough pizza dough immediately as it has a limited lifespan (overprooving / dieing in the fridge max -72hours) and then thaw it in the fridge for 12hours before allowing to return to room temp before using, otherwise it goes pappy.
Where'd you get the sausage from out of interest?
Nowhere near Portsmouth I'm afraid
I got it in a little Italian deli near where I live, but it's easily found online.Nowhere near Portsmouth I'm afraid
That's what I was wondering, will head to Amazon as want it for Saturday, presume all fresh from the deli rather than pre packaged?
The stuff I bought was in a jar so it was more like a paste. Next time I'll buy a fresh block of it.
