Roccbox Pizza

We got this pizza oven over a year ago and haven't used it much having failed to master its cooking techniques. I finally got round to setting about conquering it as the reviews are so great it had to be a personal failure.
There were three issues
1.) The flame didn't seem as big as it should
2.) Half the pizza was frazzled and the other
3.) Getting the pizza off the slice into the oven often resulted in the pizza still on the slice and the toppings in the oven or the pizza in a crumbled heap.

We have changed the gas (which as an almighty kerfuffle getting the right gas and connectors - of course not standard between uk and france), I have perfected some stretch dough and we used A LOT of flour to ensure a successful launch in to the oven. I also turned the pizza as it was cooking.

We have now had several successful and very yummy pizzas

Gas bottle we finally found the right connector for (thanks to the lovely guy in Intermarché)

Neither dog nor Doug were super impressed about the time of year I chose for this outdoor pizza cooking rush of enthusiasm

As well as the gas attachment there is a little wood burner. Doug cut some tiny tiny logs for it. It worked quite well though the gas is more effective and easier.

The super dough ready to go

The result - Yummy pizza

I also tried cooking a small chicken. Came out well though I should have cooked a little less hot and longer. Not as impressive as the pizza.
