    Those Ardore ovens look pretty slick. I better stop looking at this thread. Maybe I can tell myself they wouldn't perform very well in the cold winter months?

    I'm not sure your location, but the Ardore handled the Indiana winter just fine. I think the coldest I used it was mid 20's. It just takes a bit longer to preheat

    In other news; I'm amazed at how fuel efficient it is. I've probably turned out 40-50 pies and only used a half tank or so thus far

    If it can do pizzas in the mid 20's then I could get a fair amount of use out of it in the winter. Sure, there will be a number of days colder than this but that's okay. That is good to know about the fuel, too. (I live in Alaska, a little northwest of Anchorage.)

    Do any of you guys cold ferment your dough for 2 days or just 1? Do you really notice much difference?

    I think you get the biggest difference in just 24 hours compared to cooking same day. Really did not notice a change in 48 hour cold rest.

    I generally ferment in bulk for 24 hours then in balls for 24 hours.  But that's based upon other people's advice and I haven't tested side-by-side.

    I use a no-knead recipe that bulk ferments at room temp for 24 hours and then gets cold fermented for up to 6 additional days, with days 3 and 4 being the sweet spot (per my taste).  There is a big difference in flavor development by day 2 and the dough is much easier to handle.

    Pie looks great.  You can pull the parchment paper after 2-4 minutes in and avoid it burning.  A good time to turn the pie. Great work.

    @CPARKTX we use same dough recipe as with pizza, which is just  King Arthur‘s from their web site.  The trick with this is once your Doug is rolled out fairly thin is to leave about 4 inches on the bottom that isn’t slit for topping s. We cut the strips about 3/4 of and inch.  We precook the sausage and then babe on the grill at 375 until GBD.  Hope this helps if not give me a call or text my cell at 330-806-3404.  I’m home all day most every.

    I’m sure it fires with propane, right @ColtsFan?

    You have to choose when you order. Nat Gas or Propane.

    Correct, they offer a propane version and a natural gas version.

    Alfredo sauce and shredded mozzarella. Artisan bread in 5 olive oil dough. I had let it age for 6 days, seperated into balls then sit on the counter covered by a wet dish cloth for 2-3 hours.

    @alaskanassasin I must confess I caught the pizza oven bug and ordered one these contraptions last month. I received my new Bollore Pizza Party oven a couple of weeks ago, or so. I think I posted it in the 'what are you buying now thread?' . I still have a lot to learn but I'm already enjoying the challenge of working with different dough recipes. I have mostly been experimenting with cold fermentation and making Neapolitan style pizzas. I wasn't doing either prior to my new oven purchase so it's already inspired me to get a little outside my comfort zone, which is a good thing.

    P.S.

    Jay Hammond did his best to keep the PFD sacred--may he rest in peace--of course, he doesn't deserve all the credit. It definitely has become a hot button item up here and a point of contention within the legislative body. They are wrestling over it right now--again. My wife and I have always viewed it as something extra and have been careful to try not to make plans around it or depend upon it over the years.
