Good morning Christi, The Etna is working very well, we have cooked a total of five times with great results and taste. First time for Pizza l was a little timid on the fire temp but again this is all part of the learning process.

Iain Lamond – January 26, 2020

Thanks for your assistance with my little issue, problem resolved.
It is good to see that customer service still exists with some businesses.

Thankyou, much appreciated and just a couple of notes you may be interested in.
1. My mistake but I got the floor temp up to 490C, does not make a good pizza, the base cooks but topping does not melt.
2. I get lazy and make dough in a breadmaker as it is easier to get to than our Kenwood Chef, it mixes well and has a heating function that proofs the dough, I have found that it is too warm and the dough rises far too quickly and collapses on itself, the result is a sticky runny mess that is unworkable, I still use the breadmaker but as soon as the mixing has stopped I transfer to an oiled bowl and allow normal proofing which results in a nice smooth elastic dough, I aim for about 65% hydration and do not use oil, 50/50 plain and 00 flour works for me.

We are extremely pleased with the oven and wish we had done this a long time ago, thanks again for your assistance and prompt service.
Regards
Iain Lamond

Karen Russell – January 26, 2020

Hi Christi and Giuseppe, just a question regarding the touch up cork mix. it has gone hard and rubbery. What can we do to soften it up so we can touch up a little crack? Or do we need to buy some fresh mix?
We have it since 4 years now but we are still in love with our Etna oven ( and so are all our friends!)
Cheers Karen Russell

Sorry it has taken so long but we just wanted to say a huge thank you for our lovely Gourmet Oven (we have the Etna) .
We have finished set up & have used it several times. Every time has been enjoyable & the pizzas & food have been great!
I have attached some pictures.

Hi Christi,
I've nearly finished with all of the setup - I'll send you a photo when it's complete and I'll be happy for you to share it on the facebook page. It's looking fantastic!
I've only managed to do a couple of roasts so far (they were awesome), it's rained pretty much non-stop for the last month in Sydney. I'm hoping the warmer weather will let me use it a bit more often.
Thanks, Iain

Ted Halil – January 26, 2020

Hello guys,
Good to hear from you Christi and Giuseppe.
I have fired up the oven and had family over several times now.
Looking forward to the warmer weather and longer days when we will definitely fire it up more often. I will post some pictures next time on your facebook page.
Always keen to hear about dough recipes and any special hints and tips on offer.

I must say , the oven has been a draw card in the garden with everyone wanting to have a go on the peel . It certainly has been fun and laughs when sometimes the pizza sticks to the peel and ingredients come flying
off onto the oven floor. More flour, more flour we chant. I think its only a matter of time before my brothers invest in their own oven.

Regards Ted

Emma Neville – January 26, 2020

Hello Christi & Giuseppe,

Thank you for getting in touch. We LOVE LOVE LOVE our wood fired oven! We use it 2 or three times a week and have cooked some amazing meals in it, not just pizza but roasts, pork ribs, slow cooked lamb shoulder, stuffed vegetables etc. but what we are thrilled with are roast potatoes. Roast potatoes in the wood fired oven have a superb flavour, we are totally converted!!

We've experimented with a few pizza dough recipes and have found the best so far to be the one Johnny Di Francesco from 400 Gradi in Melbourne uses, although it takes time to prepare in advance - see video below.

I'd very much appreciate Giuseppe's recipe to compare the two. And any other tips would be very helpful also.

Usually my husband Wayne takes charge of the fire and I take care of the ingredients. When we have guests we ask them to join in and make their own pizza, it's lots of fun and interesting to see how other people dress their pizza. Your oven has brought us hours of entertainment and many memorable and delicious dishes.

Thank you again Christ & Guiseppe, I look forward to hearing from you,

Emma Neville.

Chris Cundy – November 3, 2018

Hi Sharon and the crew at mywoodfiredoven,
Thank you. I received the thermometer last week- what a wonderful piece of wizardry,and very accurate.
The wood oven is installed and I’m just finishing off the landscaping. I had to get the excavator who built the house to bring his excavator/forklift to lift the pizza oven from my trailer to the stand. No dramas – put in place within 20mins.
I have shown quite a few friends and they are very impressed. You will probably get some referred business for your wood fired ovens!
The next step is curing the bricks which I will do with a gas burner. After that I’ll chop a supply of old hardwood timbers ( from the frame of the old house) beautiful untreated hardwood, and store underneath the stand.
Finally, in about a week I will fire up the oven and cook my first pizza. This is a trial run before Christmas when my family arrives at which stage the oven will be in full use cooking breads and pizzas. I am very excited to use it. I love wood fire cooking and anticipate that I will be using the oven on a regular basis.
Next week I will send a dozen photos of my finished project.
Thank you once again for your wonderful support through the ordering and delivery phases. I can quickly tell your company is a highly ethical and caring one. Your products are genuine and represent very good value when compared to other players in the market.
A merry Christmas to all at mywoodfiredovens.
PS please send Giuseppe’s recipe on pizza dough.
Kind regards,
Chris Cundy

Kerry and Dale – November 3, 2018

Hi Christi,
We haven’t had enough opportunities to go to our daughter’s place to replenish our timber stocks from her property to fuel our pizza oven. So is there anywhere we can buy suitable timber in the meantime on the Sunshine Coast?
It’s been a wonderful experience so far and Dale is currently building timber side tables for our pizza oven. Our first pizza was awesome.
Cheers
Kerry & Dale

Hi again Giuseppe & Christi,
We are enjoying our pizza oven and trying to improve on our home made bases, but I think there is a bit of an art to this and lots of practice needed.
Kind regards,
Kerry and Dale

Tim and Kylie Nottle – January 26, 2020

Hi Christi and Giuseppe
We are very happy with our Pietra oven, it looks great.
We have used it twice already and again this weekend for our son’s 21st!
Set up was easy, we are lucky, we have a work truck with a crane on it, so used that to lift over fence and put into position.
Will get some photos this weekend and put up on your FB site soon.
Cheers

Kellie O’Brien – January 26, 2020

Hi Christi
We love the oven. The sand stone finish is beautiful. It has taken a little while to get pizza baking right. The hardest being getting the pizza off the paddle. So thank you for the helpful videos.
We are looking at a bread making course at Red Beards in Trentham (best bread ever). Can’t wait for that.
Here’s a photo of when the oven first went in
Cheers

We love our oven and have been using it a bit, but mostly for Pizza.... now we are getting better at managing temp/fire we are looking forward to cooking other things too!
I need to get better at pre-preparing meals... so if we have a pizza night I have other things ready to cook as the temp dies down.
We would welcome any tips and recipes too!

Judith and Mick Day – January 26, 2020

Hi there. We are just loving having our Etna. We have had so many pizza nights with our friends. Roasts, stews, casseroles and breads galore also. Even an apple crumble. There’s one small problem though. I’m finding it hard to find photos for you. I take many ‘prep’ photos and even ‘cooking’ photos but no ‘end result’ photos because the meals are eaten straight away with hardly any left overs!!!! I did manage to upload a beef stew video to your facebook page. I will endeavor to take some pictures of pizzas cooked this weekend. Now if that’s the worst problem to be had, there’s no problem at all is there.
Very very happy customers up here in Far north Queensland.
Thanks, Judith and Mick Day

Just wanted to say we are really happy with our big Etna oven. We made a few mistakes at first but we are getting better and keep trying new things. We cooked a couple of lamb shanks last weekend, that came out so nice! We can’t speak well enough, we really like the oven and all the great service, and thank you for the big pot. It is lovely.

Thought I give you an update.
We have used the oven so much and absolutely love it. I made the most amazing pork roast, the best crackling I have ever made!
We can't wait till we can use the rotisserie we just received. All depends on these fires, we have one right near us at the moment so are on a total fire ban. The rotisserie might have to wait until the new year.
Have a great Christmas and new year and will def send pics when I get to cook in it again

Steve Megson – January 26, 2020

My-Pizzaioli oven is proved and first cook up this coming weekend. Yea.
Love your work and I love the oven. Very little cracking after about 10 days of increasing fires so that’s good. I will send you photos of the oven outside my super new eco friendly off grid small house on the hill. I just need to get the wood storage unit under the stove finished and painted and we are ready to go. FYI I got the bobcat operator profiling my garden to lift it into place. Effortless.
Thanks again. I will start to claim a spotters fee as I have many people enquiring where I got such a beautiful oven from. You do a good job so I am happy to pass on my unreserved recommendation.

I have loved the investment of my Chef pizza oven and it has been a focus point in entertaining the family and guests.
I specifically like modifying old classic roasting methods in the wood fire oven and naturally roasting trays of veges with ease for accompaniments also.
Looking forward to experimenting more this summer now daylight saving has kicked in !
Thanks for a good looking/ great value oven.

Richard Mason – June 20, 2021

I tell you what.. that Pizza oven got a good workout during the lockdown. We did pizza at least once every few days. I was using it so much that I decided to put the cover away as the oven was not cooling enough before the next firing! We are enjoying cooking in our pizza oven so much. The pizzas are coming out just amazing. I have noticed that the next morning the oven is still around 150C even if I don’t add a log at the end of the pizza baking session. So next time I will do slow cooking or scones for breakfast the next morning in the retained heat. We’re having a lot of fun with our Chef!

Michael – June 20, 2021

I have made quite a lot of pizzas since I've had it and a couple of casseroles I even made a steamed pudding in it and it came out great. In my dough mixture I use some greek yoghurt and a little olive oil and I get a nice soft crispy pizza base.
The oven works great and I use it quite a lot when I have some free time. Over summer I will use it a lot more. I've been using Pohutukawa and Oak for the wood.
Thanks again Christi & Giuseppe!!

We are really enjoying our Fiamma pizza oven. Managed to get the outdoor kitchen finished a few months ago and have been cooking in the oven whenever I get the chance.
Today we had pizza’s for lunch, then I put in a bread loaf to cook, and finally left a pork leg to cook which we had for dinner (it just pulled apart). Excellent.

We already had a couple of Pizza nights with our Fiamma and get to know the oven. Pizzas were great and we look forward to exploring to cook other things.
The laser thermometer is excellent to check the right temperature of the stone for cooking pizzas. No longer a problem with either burned or underdone crust. Thank you for including it!
Thank you for your ongoing support, it is one of the many reasons why we bought the oven from you.

I have been sharing stories with some of my colleagues.
Hopefully you might have some more happy customers soon!
Thankyou also for the recipe, i cant wait to give it a go!
Take care, Adam Thetford

Lance & Carolyn – June 11, 2021

The only issue we have is not having enough time to use to oven. We love it. Thanks so much. We have only cooked roasts and vegetables in it so far but the results have been fantastic and our guests are amazed by the food and there has been no left overs. I am amazed at how much can fit in the oven and how little wood you need to run it once its up to temperature. We are burning Manuka and have found that Matai is also as good.
Hopefully the weather will give us a break this Sunday so we can have our neighbours over for Pizza Sunday, could be the start of something good, I'm looking forward to trying some of the recipes you sent us, thank you both very much for keeping in touch and take care.

Rosa Caiazza – May 17, 2020

We are passionate about pizza and already have a few wood fired ovens but when we saw the “Piccolo”, we couldn’t resist but purchase one. It is worth every cent and we absolutely love cooking in it. It looks good, cooks good, it’s lightweight and portable, made from high quality materials, has a rotating stone and comes with a 2 year manufacturers warranty. Giuseppe and Christi were a pleasure to deal with, super friendly and had our oven to us quickly. We highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a quality oven of this calibre.

I had considered buying a pizza oven quite some time ago, the problem was size… That was until I saw the Piccolo.. It was a great looking option. After a lot of thought, I decided yes we should get one. Once we got it setup (which was very easy and quick to do) we watched the videos that were sent to us via email. We got some hardwood, which is exactly what we were told to get in order to get the high temperatures. After about 15 minutes we got the oven to about 300 degrees. From what I could gather this was a good temperature to cook at. We put in the first pizza and to my surprise it was ready within about 1-2 minutes. It was a chicken and bacon pizza with plenty of topping as well. I was skeptical as to how it could do it so quickly but sure enough it was cooked perfectly! Within about 8 more minutes we had cooked a total of 5 pizza’s.
The next test, the biggest one was the taste test…. Well my family of 6 absolutely loved it. Finally after 4 years of trying to cook a pizza in our regular oven we had got something better tasting than the take away pizza’s. It was such a hit that we have since had pizza at least once or twice a week. We did try a roast but due to our lack of experience it didn’t work out great but that we know is just experience and we can’t wait to get it right. If you are tight on space and don’t have room for a large one, but you still want a great tasting and well cooked pizza then get the Piccolo! I have now got neighbours, friends and family wanting to get one because they enjoyed the pizza’s we made for them so much!
As a person capable of burning water when it comes to cooking… I think that it could not be easier, it is great for the kids as they love watching the pizza cook as well. It is a fantastic product, well built, and very well priced. I don’t think any family who loves home cooked pizzas should look past this very capable and well made Piccolo.
Thanks Christi & Giuseppe for the great pizza oven. Your customer service experience was awesome. Very responsive and you made the experience enjoyable 😊

Thanks to you & Christi for all your help, we're super happy.

I purchased the new Piccolo wood fire ovenabout 3 months ago.
I have to say that this oven is clearly the best woodfired oven l have ever had.
From the moment l unpacked it l new that this is a great oven.
Well packaged and made to a very high quality. From when you light the fire and within 20 or so minutes
this little beauty is ready to cook the best pizza you’ve ever had. The rotating stone cooks the pizza perfectly every time. I have also cooked some roast meat dishes as well, excellent result with that woodfired smokey flavor.
At the right temperature this oven can cook a pizza in a few minutes. A small compact oven, but huge on performance.
I would highly recommend this oven to any household.
Cheers

We have been delighted with our Piccolo oven. Professionally designed and built, it delivers everything we hoped it would and looks sensational sitting proudly on our back deck. We have been amazed at how quickly it cooks the food and the taste is just great. We couldn’t be more happier with our little Piccolo.

Hello,
Just wanted to say, the Piccolo Pizza Oven is the best thing we have ever brought. It has been easy to use and clean. We love that we can use the Piccolo pizza oven for not only pizzas, but for bbq ribs, bread, roasts, vegetables and desserts!
We love showing our family and friends all the delicious foods we have created! My husband is already talking about getting the orange piccolo pizza oven for when life goes back to normal and we can have more people over 🙂 This is the best thing ever!
Thank you again for this wonderful oven!

Thank you for your PDF booklet and recipes. We have been using our Piccolo wood fired oven EVERY weekend (except when raining) since we purchased it in October.
It is the perfect size to cook for two people, and we are so excited about the wonderful things you can cook in it.
WE LOVE COOKING in it – and are very happy with our purchase and all the wonderful weekend evenings we have spent, cooking good food, drinking a glass of wine, and enjoying our outdoor BBQ area.
I would love to order the grill (either 1 or 2) depending on the price. So please send me an email when they arrive.
Thank you again,
Helen and Wayne Lockhart (Hamilton)

We picked up the Piccolo wood fire oven up and set it up straight away. It was very easy to assemble.
We have had two weekends of cooking in our Piccolo 😊
It is a perfect fit on our stainless steel bench, and we now have mastered the knack of lightening it very quickly. We have a layer of hardwood chips, then add some pine pieces and by using a potato peeler we shave the pine kindling to get a nest of shavings which produce a good flame and once the pine is burning add the hardwood. It only needs a few pieces of hardwood to get the temperature up and it stays up for quite awhile.
Attached are some pictures of our first pizza ready and waiting for the temperature to go up to then cook, then the cooked result ..yum. That night we used the pizza oven to cook some french lamb cutlets – 15 minutes and we had lamb medium rare with an amazing Smokey flavour (apple wood). I used a BBQ grill plate that just fitted perfectly on the pizza stone and so it rotated around giving an even cook.
Sunday breakfast was bacon 😊 … we have cook eye of fillet steak, 2 minutes each side to get medium (forgot to take photos).
Looking forward to your cook book so that I can try out more cooking ideas.
Kind Regards
Diane

Great oven! I enjoy just very well. It is fired by biomaterial which is a feature I love. Other positive features are tiny amount of ash and smoke is insignificant. I have made bread and done a lot of great cooking with my chef wife. Whole family enjoyed.
Geat design and fantastic product!!

Damien Brennan – January 26, 2020

We have used our Maximus around 4 times and I find it much easier to establish a fire compared with our previous Cobb oven and it uses far less wood. Naturally it does not seem to hold the heat to the same extent when the door is open but we are very thrilled with it overall.
We have cooked a variety of things and I love that the door is larger and we can easily do three pizzas at a time.
Last night we cooked a barramundi on lemon myrtle leaves and wrapped in banana leaf - it was sensational.

Ryan Surace – January 26, 2020

I appreciate the extra effort it has taken to have my order processed and available before xmas. I have been researching ovens for a while, mostly focusing on traditional styles, however, the portable nature of the MAXI, plus large cooking surface (along with not being as heavy) was what drew me in. I look forward to putting my oven to good use!
Merry xmas 😊

Hi Christi,
We have been enjoying our new oven, and have been using it regularly.
Our biggest night was my wife's 50th birthday where we did thirty 20cm pizzas in about an hour and a half.
We are very happy with the oven and will use it for many years to come.

Garrick Demarchi – January 26, 2020

Our pizza oven is going great. We started off a bit shakey, with our first 2 attempt at cooking and also just getting a fire started. But since then we have had really good cooks with it.
Our pizzas haven been coming out perfect and your cook book has been super helpful already so massive thank you.

Our next mission is to be able to use the oven for other meals other than pizza but let’s be honest nothing will be as good as the pizzas that keep coming out of this awesome oven of ours.
Thanks!! Garrick Demarchi

We have used the pizza oven a half dozen times now and have probably cooked 30 pizzas. They are really great. We make the dough in the morning and let it proof all day. Cooking is at 450-500C on the bricks for the Pizza Napoletana. I’m really happy with the purchase.
I sorted the curing and did not get any cracks.
Do you have a dough recipe that can be made and cooked not long there after? Lack of planning and a last minute pizza idea.
Any pizza tips, tricks or topping ideas would also be appreciated.
Regards,
Darren Billett

The pizza oven is going really well, I use it all the time for cooking in my outdoor kitchen.
I love cooking with this oven. I did pork ribs last night and they came out better than with the bbq.
Do you have any grilling racks that would fit this oven that I could purchase?
Thanks

We are absolutely happy with the oven as well as the service. Haven't finished the area where it is to live, as it is on a polished decorative concrete counter top, but I could not help myself but to set it up and try it. I am looking forward to finishing the area so I can try more recipes.
Thank you so much

We are loving our pizza oven and have cooked at least 50 pizzas on it so far. I have improved with my fire lighting and retaining the heat in the oven. I have attached a photo from Christmas day of us preparing for Christmas pizzas. My next adventure is to cook some roasts in the oven.
I would also love to see Giuseppe's dough recipe and any other tips you are willing to share. We recommend your pizza oven and service to everyone as we could not be happier with it.
We appreciate your customer service. Great job all round.
Kindest regards
