Fontana Forni Pizza Oven

Wanasmoke

This is technically OT but I know we all like our toys  I had plans drawn up for a masonry brick oven but couldn’t stomach the cost!  I discovered this product after a bit of research and couldn’t be happier. 

Setup was a breeze, building a fire was quick and easy, and the results speak for themselves. I’ll just post a bunch of pics from my first cook and then field any questions. I’m amazed with the quality!






Summing up: Learning curve was minimal, oven is everything I was hoping for and the weather in Wisconsin finally turning the corner to summer!

Nice oven, my friend has the exact same one.  A local pizza catering business was hanging it up and sold like 4 of them cheap.

I love that he's included several pics of food he's cooked on the oven.

The tag words are pretty funny. Clothing, stereo, 4x4, mustang...

@johnnyp  I think it just might be a necessity!

Just buy a pizza porta, they’re just as good and porta-ble.

There’s at least one existing thread on it already.  Just search around and you’ll find it.

Yeah, sorry.  Not endorsing it.  Never used one, I would just rather invest in a proper pizza cooker instead of something I add to the egg if I was choosing to spend some $

Fair enough.  Once I saw the price, looking at a Blackstone became more attractive.
TYVM!
