Solt Gas Pizza oven

Looks good Gumb. I havent seen these before. Anyone know anything about them?

Cheers, Wayne

Yes, I cant quite see Portable and Pizza oven in the same sentence. Imagine tryig to take all the bits to the beach and then rolling out dough etc.

As a compact gas unit for quick pizzas at home it could be a goer. Might have to go and look at one.

Cheers, Wayne

Wandered over to our local Goodguys and had a look. They seem fairly solid and well put together. Had a bit of a search on the Solt brand. Australian owned. Couldnt find many reviews on them.

It was a close run thing mate. I'd really like to see a few more reviews. Solts other products seem to get pretty low scores on the reviews stakes. They use different manufacturers for their products ............ "The Sôlt range of products are designed and specified within Australia and made by leading OEM manufacturers within China, Turkey and Europe." so i guess it can be luck of the draw who actually makes it.

That's Cheap!

Hi all, just read through this thread and thought I would share. Saw the special and could resist picking one up on Australia day. Prior to that they went listed at $599.00

After a few days of usage I'm pretty impressed with it so far. No faults to speak of thus far and very happy with the pizzas (apart from user error) I am a novice at pizza making and this is my first pizza oven so I guess take my opinion with a grain of salt but am happy to report in a couple of weeks how it's going if anyone interested.

Hi GB, Looks great! You might just get me over the edge. I've been dillydallying around about one of these since Gumb posted about them.. What dough etc are you using for your bases?

Hi GB,

How hot does it get?

hi Wayne, I'm making my dough from scratch using a double fermented recipe I found on YouTube.

it's a neopolitan style dough if you prefer that style.

00 flour I use is either Caputo or if I can't find it just a 00 from Coles.

Hi Wazza, I've just turned the oven on for another round 9f pizzas. I'll post a photo shortly when it gets up to temp. The center of the stone usually sits around the low to mid 400c

The closer the stone is to the flame it gets to around 500c

I found after each pizza the stone drops to about 340c so need to put the heat back up for a few mins to get back to temp before cooking the next one

So after about 15mins it's just about ready to go.

wow those temps are impressive for a 90sec neo pizza

the vito iacopelli doughs are great Too

Couldnt agree more. I've been watching his videos for ages. Struggled to get the pizza to work great in a conventional oven but in this oven, seems to work a charm

Don't forget you get $40 store cash to spend in the next month when you buy this. I use store cash for bits and pieces for my coffee maching like cleaning tablets and descaler etc.

So effectively, this oven only costs $259.

I know it's not wood fired but since the pizza is only in my wood fired oven for a couple of minutes I doubt that it's much different from a gas fired oven.

I'm sure the wood would play a part in some fashion maybe even in flavour. As far as aesthetics of the pizza are concerned tho, I think these little gas ovens do a great job.
