Pizza oven - Roccbox

paqman

I’m about to pull the trigger on a Roccbox pizza oven.  If you have one, are you happy with it?  Any disappointment?  Are there better options/recommendation?

Any experience operating it in cold weather (Canada cold well below freezing temps)?

Please post pics of pizza you have baked with it.

@JohnInCarolina is Mr. Roccboxx. He slings a mean pie with it. 

If I ate pizza more often, I’d buy one in a minute.

There are several folks here who have one of these.  Off the top of my head, @Eggcelsior, @nolaegghead, and @The Cen-Tex Smoker all have them.  

This is a well-made, high quality product.  You won't be disappointed.  It's not just for cooking pizza either.  I've done ribs in it, steaks, all kinds of things.  I'll post some pics of a few of my pies here in a bit.

@JohnInCarolina , did you finish the ribs it there, or all the way through?

Was an early adopter of the Roccbox. We still love it. There have been a few new offering to hit the market that all look pretty good too. Can’t comment on any of those but the roccbox is what they say it is and does everything they say it does. Happy to have one.

You'll use it for so much more.
Steaks, asparagus and Brussel sprouts are some of my favorites. I use a square cast iron griddle pan

I’m pretty sure that’s what ruined my bands... second time I have to replace them.

Ruined my old set of bands, and many pizzas that way, also cracked a base on the way up to temp.  I am envious of those who consistently crank out excellent pies on their eggs.

How did you ruin your band? 

alaskanassasin

  I am going to guess that the high temp swells the hinge points together and also weakens the steel. 

 So when you lift the lid at high temp it’s tight, you lift anyway tweaking the hinges.  It will never shut correctly again even with all the adjusting you can do.

You can make outstanding pizzas on the egg for sure.
