its either a new one with a rotating turntable, or... a griddle.

I was thinking a turntable type oven as well.

Maybe they’re chasing Gozney again, and will debut something closer to a full sized oven.

First Uuni (nka Ooni) portable pizza oven - 2012

Roccbox release - 2016

Who is chasing who?

I'm predicting it will be a rechargeable battery powered portable oven - looks like it has a handle in the teaser pix.

Easy to carry. Rechargeable at any EV vehicle charging station - 10 minute charge is enough power for 30 pizzas.

I didn’t think the original Uuni’s were gas powered, only wood or pellet.  I think the Roccbox was the first one that was duel-fueled, but I could be wrong.

Duel-fueled 😎😎 I’m picturing two guys in Weehawken at dawn, one armed with kerosene, the other with gasoline. Pretty sure you meant “dual-fueled.”

I did, but now that I think of it, a duel would be cooler!

"Did you use the propane deck on top or the pellet deck on the bottom?"

"it's an upper decker"

Dual fuel is matchlight briquettes and duraflame slices.

I was hoping someone would get my reference.

I got a sneak peek:

BigreenGreg

a pizza iron?

JohnInCarolina

LOL

Canugghead

they claim it's 'World-class innovation', lol

CTMike

Yah, I am definitely underwhelmed, especially at that price.

I was hoping for sous vide pizza maker with really big bags.

A friggin thousand dollar toaster oven.  

HeavyG

So... not rechargeable then. Disappointing.

The price seems to be in the same neighborhood as the Breville. And the Breville gets pretty decent reviews.

FrostyEgg

Hard pass, especially at $1k. I imagine these will not sell well...

I like the Amazon review that reads "It’s a nice appliance if you’re rich"

Sink this thread and pretend this product doesn't exist?  

New software upgrade on Tesla and Rivian trucks have an updated readout:

152 miles/15 deep dish/ 25 thin crust pizzas remaining.

The price is kinda steep (but what isn't these days eh?) and I wouldn't be surprised if they go on sale in a few months.

The Serious Eats review of the Breville was quite approving. One thing about the Ooni Volt has that might address one of the concerns they had with the Breville is the balance control between the top and bottom heating elements. We'll see of course once the Volts are out in the wild.

Can you really make an argument for someone here on this forum purchasing this thing instead of one of the other, portable gas-fired ovens that are available and much less expensive?  

fishlessman

just buy two to make two pies at the same time........

How long have you been on this forum?? You know d@mn well that someone will buy one and  post a thread, after which 20 others will dive in.

I could get a mini max with a couple of accessories for that.
