Assuming you have an “outdoors”. When living in an apartment this isn’t possible.
- evgen 8y agoCheck out uuni pizza ovens. They use wood pellets for fuel and in 10 minutes of pre-heat mine gets to the necessary temp to cook a pizza in a minute or so. Small enough to put on table on a balcony or fire escape and you can even pack it in a carrying bag and take it on the road.
- paulie_a 8y agoCheck with your local laws...that is probably illegal.
- evgen 8y agoNo different than any place that allows you to have a grill at a similar location, and since there are never going to be flare-ups or similar issues it is actually safer than those items; for CA residents you need a concrete or stucco balcony, no wood. I use mine in my English garden (back yard) but it is portable enough for lots of different locations.
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoStarting a fire on a fire escape sounds like it should be a prohibited activity.
- evgen 8y agoIt probably is, was just trying to think of the equivalent for a place like NYC where apartment balconies are less common than they are in CA. OTOH I am pretty sure I have seen a small weber or two on fire escapes on occasion.
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoAlthough, thinking about it, a fire escape should be the least likely part of a building to catch fire.
- dopeboy 8y agoThanks for the suggestion. How do you like the uuni pizza oven? Also, does using the wood pellets get you a smoky taste to it?
- evgen 8y agoI like mine a lot and it was a lot easier to move to a new place then the fire-brick oven I had planned for several years ago. It limits pizza size to about 14 inches but since they cook insanely fast it is easy to do personal pizzas for everyone instead of bigger pizzas to be shared. No real smoky taste at all, the wood pellets are a short step up from compressed cardboard and seem to provide nothing besides heat. Downside is that it only does pizzas. No chance to do pizzas one night and then use residual heat for bread the next day, etc. If you have the means and space I highly recommend a real clay/brick beehive oven, but once you do pizza in a high heat oven you are never going to go back to trying to crank up the temp in a conventional kitchen oven.
