Hi Tom ! 🙂 Great video ! I'm curious how long a 20 lb tank (9 Kg) of propane would last using this model, or any of your Ooni models. I'm in Canada, so 20 pound tanks aren't what you use, - with that said, what size of propane tank are you using ? I pay about $14 to fill a 20 lb tank, and for a typical bbq, it would last quite a long time, but since you are heating this model for 30 to 40 minutes ( I'm assuming at full blast ) a tank won't last long so I'd love to get a handle on what your times are on a tank etc..... - a video would be awesome, go through what you pay typically for a propane tank fillup.... how they measure the tanks there... ( are they also be weight ? ) etc.... it would be a great video to do.... anyway thanks for taking the time to read this Tom ! Love your videee-oohhhs !! 🙂

Great review! Could you perhaps compare it to the Koda 16? Which of the ovens do you think is the best?

@dothetontim

3 ай бұрын

I have a Koda 16 and am considering the Arc XL so I can keep my Koda at a cabin. Both will cook the same. The Arc looks nicer, but the thermometer is useless (if you're cooking pizzas you're using a proper thermometer) and the battery igniter will fail over time as they all do. The Koda has a piezo igniter that requires no batteries/is more reliable. I expect the Koda is quite a bit less expensive and you can probably get one 2nd hand. Money no object get the Gozney. If you want a great oven for a better price get the Koda.

If I had to keep just one it would be the Ooni Karu 16, love the fact is both gas and wood, nice big 16” cooking area, glass door, always had amazing results and big enough to cook more than just pizza,

40 mins is quite long but I suppose as you say it has a good thermal mass.

Yes I would definitely say this pizza oven is aimed more towards those that want to do many pizzas at a time or for parties, maybe even catering, because it’s a long time to wait for just 1 or 2 pizzas

Beautiful looking oven, great review 👏 The time it takes to get the stone up to temp😮 half the money..... How would you rate the Pi Prime against the Arc xl? I'll be waiting awhile to get an Arc so do i wait or go with the Prime? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated boss 👍

@TomVoyageuk

3 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment, and i agree it's a really nice looking oven, with a very classic design. Reminds me of the way cars were designed in the 1930's/1940's. The Pi Prime is a great oven, and works really well. Smaller though and probably more suited to making 2 or 3 pizzas a time, but it heats up faster and is lighter. The Arc Xl is more suited if you're going to be making 6-8 pizzas at a time, or maybe hosting parties and you need that extended heat retention. Also if your keeping it in place and don't need to move about much, and you're going to be getting the £££ worth by using it every week of the year. Hope this helps :)

Possibly, but in summer a few degrees hotter won’t make much difference when getting it up to 440/500c but sometimes a door can actually make a gas flame go out, would be interesting to see if they bring out a door as an accessory though

thumbs up great video as always and the oven looks pretty good but i still prefer my karu 16 i like to use gas and charcoal/wood sometimes plus i like the design and the faster heat up time of the karu more the gozney with its thick stone might be better for a big party where you have to make lots of pizzas though 😁 i think your pizza looked a little bit flat maybe the frozen dough didnt have enough time to raise i have had this problem too especially in the winter frozen dough needs a lot of time to fully rise 😊🍕🍕🍕🍕

Thanks for the comment, and yes it does look flat. It was a real shame i didn't have the time to make dough as i wasn't really pleased with this dough and know i can do much better. But my focus here was to get a review done as soon as possible, and in the future I'll do a more in depth review and cook with recipe on the oven to show the true potential. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

They're clearly trying to get the dome pizza oven look with these but I definitely prefer the look of my Ooni Koda 12. That said, I do like the idea of the starter button being on the front of the oven. Not being able to see if the flame has ignited properly on my Ooni due to the ignition knob being at the back is my biggest grip with my oven.

@TomVoyageuk

I too liked being able to see the flame whilst adjusting and the adjustment felt really controlled to, and easy to dial in the right flame size. I guess it does look like a smaller dome too! Minus the chimney

@dougal6569

@@TomVoyageukHas anyone actually tested the 14 yet? From looking at the burner power, mass and entrance opening size, I suspect that the 14 might be much quicker to reach Neapolitan temperatures. The 16 seems errrr…. kinda slow! And longer heat up with a bigger burner translates as noticeably more gas used before you start cooking. Clearly for big, thin, crispy lower temperature pizzas the 16 is the way to go. But for 11/12” Neapolitans, I do wonder whether the basic Arc might actually be the BETTER choice. Agreed, with the current pricing, the XL does look as though you are getting much more for not much more money, but for domestic use (on Neapolitans at least) the extended heat up time is going to be an unwelcome gotcha. The XL seems to have been the only version ‘seeded’ to influencers (I ask myself why), and (in the UK) it is already on backorder from Gozney. But where are the side-by-side comparisons (including gas consumption) of the Arc and the XL?

Dude good vid but you gotta do some research on the product first. The temp gauge sensor is set in the stone so it IS the stone temp not overall ambient temp. The sensor is not right at the stone surface which is why your gun probably reads higher
