@Crucial @antipodean my mate just bought one of these
https://www.noelleeming.co.nz/p/breville-the-smart-oven-pizzaiolo/N193607.htmlHe rocks an Ooni/Uuni, and wants this for inside cooking. Big, heavy, but designed well I understand. The electric means you can have repeatability - do pizza after pizza with the smae cooking to really incrementally improve dough, prep, cooking etc.
I have an Uuni wood and love it. It heats up fast, cranks out pizza fast, but is smallish. Full ovens are awesome but you need a good supply of wood, and plenty of time to heat and cook, so it really lends itself to lots and lots of pizza.
good luck. It's like a coffee brewing rabbit hole ... you can go down looking for the 'perfect pizza'

I have seen plenty of what look like perfectly suitable outdoor pizza ovens cobwebbed over or surrounded by pot plants
Seemed like a good idea at the time.
I think I will get around to building an outdoor oven at our new place but am looking at good options other than only wood as firing the thing up for 6 hours just to bake some bread or a casserole loses its shine quickly. -
Just found these. Look like a good idea if you want to be more spontaneous with outdoor oven or just use it for cooking other than pizzas

Christ what a weekend.
Fathers Day today, and wound up popping into a residential street in
PanmureEdit:Pakuranga to Smokey Wheelz BBQ.
There were four of us - ordered the family platter. $130, ok wut? Ah well, we'll see how it is, can take leftovers home, it's fathers day, we're here.
Fark
Family? The crew running the joint were an extended family - they might want to specify it's for two 4 person families, or one big family. Honestly, we couldn't eat half of it ... hell, a quarter of the platter was a WHOLE SMOKED CHICKEN. With massive sides of mac'n'cheese, fries and slaw.
Pic below, I retired to the couch and skipped dinner. Also, the Brisket was sensational - really moist, smokey and good.

I wouldn't have thought you could buy that much meat raw from the supermarket for $130 these days

@Crucial Bloody expensive pies. Plus the second major ingredient in the Mince Pie is sugar?!!!
Rule number 1 with pies is to never check what is in them. Taste is the only indicator.
They are value for money though. Decent filling quantity and not all gravy/sauce.
I do prefer Fairlie Bakehouse pies myself but they don't deliver.These, however, are the best by far. Just hard to get.

@Crucial Bugger I drove to Te Awamutu last week. Could have sampled a Fairlies Pie en route. Will add the Sangas to my list next time in Central. Can't remember when I last had a pie that didn't disappoint
Where did you drive to TA from? You do know where Fairlie is don’t you?
Everyone that drives though Fairlie stops for a pie.
They do an awesome filling of Corned beef, Mustard and Potato that takes comfort food to the next level. -

@Crucial I know exactly where Fairlie is and because I know I won't be going there anytime soon I looked up stockists. There are two in Te Ika a Maui. One in Wellington and the other just past Mystery Creek on the way to Te Awamutu.
That's alright, just had me really confused with your OP
Didn't realise there was a stockist in Welly though!

Wait are you saying the pies that are in Fairlie can also be got in Welly?

According to their website there is a cafe on Thornton quay that sells them. Don’t know if it’s still true.

The olds will be happy to hear that if true. Pretty sure Fairlie cafe is the only reason their bikie gang goes to the SI.
