ROCCBOX FIRST ZA PARTY TODAY. EXCELLENT RESULTS...

made pizza at tailgate party today with homemade varasano dough method recipe with gas fired roccbox.  Wow incredible results.  Few observations:

ROCCBOX is heavy, so youll need a cart or wagon to lug it around.   Gets up to temperature within 15 mins amd cranks out pizza every 2 to 3 mins,   made 12 pies and this thing is a workhorse.  Produces consistent, even heat with no fuss at all.  The uuni by comparison has to be constantly monitored so that pellet feed doesnt smother the fire.   their gas burner , availble summer of 2017 is , well unavailable as of thanksgiving 2017 so there you go....

Roccnox sits higher on tabletop than uuni which makes it easier to monitor pies in the oven without straining your back too much.

i have not used the wood burner yet but will report here when i do
my dough today stretched thin and cooked up perfectly
the rb xoes require pizza rotation but is less prone to charring the pies backside the way the uuni does if you are not constantly monitoring.

i do like the lack of a front door on rb as with uuni it can be a little tricky at times to affix properly and the flamekeeper hood at front edge of uuni slides into the slots and shakes loose creating a potential burn condition on your arm if it falls down while youre manipulating food inside the oven.  

Uuni instrux manual is like an ikea assembly instruction book. No words, just pictures.

i have to admit that thr roccbox is easier to make pizza on than the uuni, but the bge is superior to roccbox for  za for one reason.   You can open the lid and see the. Entire pie. On rb you better hope the peel slides under the pie as opposednto pushing it back to the flame.


overall, id rate the roccbox a 10 out of 10...for portability, quality material construction and compa ny responsiveness.  The uuni is cheaper but its cheap feeling and company resources definitely arent directed toward marketing, customer service, or timely new product accessory delivery..GAS BURNER

Bge is the king but in areas where propane use is mandated, the roccbox plays the role of pizza prince.

in the case of roccbox cost being 2x that of uuni, you truly get what you pay for and you dont get what you think you pay for on the uuni...i wish i eschewed the uuni and gotten the roccnox a year ago.
