    A few things to point out. Leaving pizza dough slows the rising process, so me personally if you're making your own do at least a 2 or 3 day rising it'll give you more flavor in the crust and leave it out at room temperature in a dry, cool area. Secondly before you use it be sure to do pre use fire in the pizza oven to burn off any manufacture oil or gas on the oven. It'll clean it so no metal residue is baked into your pizza.

    • @JTVLIFE
      @JTVLIFE  9 місяців тому +1

      Yes to both of those points! Always cook off any sort of new BBQ gadget off! And patience will reward you with the flavor and texture of a 3 day old dough. Thanks for watching - Jason

    Appreciate this video man. I took my oven out on a camping trip and used it for the first time out there and struggled with keeping it hot and consistent. I think I was overloading it with pellets and not letting it breathe enough to make get the flames going. This will definitely help me on my next go of it

    • @JTVLIFE
      @JTVLIFE  2 роки тому +1

      Yes! To many pellets at once will smother the fire. Let the base layer of pellets get going good before you start adding more. Hope this and the video helps. -Jason

    Thanks for the video! I’m about to try my big horn out for the first time today. One comment you made stuck out to me. You said that unless you freeze your cheese, the bottom of your pie won’t crisp up before the cheese begins to burn. How long do you let the oven preheat before you start making pies? Pizza stones heat up very slowly. Have you tried waiting at least 30-40 minutes before cooking the first pie?

    • @JTVLIFE
      @JTVLIFE  Рік тому

      Yes, wait at least 30 minutes for optimal results. The frozen cheese thing is a way to slow down top cooking if you are having trouble getting a crispy bottom. You’ll notice that the second and third pizza won’t be as crispy on the bottom if the oven isn’t giving ample time to recoup some heat on the stone. I do 2 pizzas in a row then give it about 5 minutes. Hope this helps, good luck! - Jason

    Great vid but the crust looked undercooked on the bottom side. Did you not preheat the stone long enough?

    • @JTVLIFE
      @JTVLIFE  2 роки тому +3

      To be 💯 no the stone wasn’t preheated long enough. It takes at least 20 minutes and better 30 minutes to get to proper temperature. Also, I find giving it a 5 minute rest between every other pie helps too. Made 10 pizzas one time and figured that little trick out. Making the videos and feeding the oven along with cranking out a bunch of pizzas in succession is a bit of a challenge 😂. Thanks for watching! - Jason

      I was going to do a video reviewing this one ignitor product but the performance was so poor it wasn't even worth showing. The torch helps get a whole layer lit evenly instead of just the portion over the ignitor puck. Check out this link here - amzn.to/3lyOprU - for the same torch I have. This one - amzn.to/3lzu1XB - is only a little more @ $20 and has a built in ignitor so you don't need to look for a lighter or risk burning yourself. The tanks are - amzn.to/3LGJ6RZ - incredibly over priced but can be found for about $5 at Walmart. I refill mine on the cheap - ua-cam.com/video/O-ldostFgDg/v-deo.html - need a few items to do it safely or just keep buying them. You'll get many lights out of 1 lb of propane. Glad the peel is working out for you. Coat in a nice layer of semolina flour - amzn.to/3sN4yhx - for a nice release and extra texture to bottom of pie! Thanks for watching! - Jason

      Did you have excess flour on the bottom of your pizza?

    • @JTVLIFE
      @JTVLIFE  Рік тому +1

      Steve Furse - How long did it take to cook the pizza? A lot of toppings on top take more cook time to crisp up but at the same time the bottom of the crust can get away from you. That’s why the Neapolitan pizza style has such little amount of toppings compared to others. Excess flour or semolina like Faith Cortez mentioned will burn to bottom of pizza and make it look really burnt as well. - Jason

      ​@@JTVLIFE I had the same issue. I think we added too much cornmeal and it blackened to a crisp. I was wondering, however, was the stone too hot? How do we know? We just used some flour on the second pizza, and it was much better. Subsequent pizza then took longer and longer to cook, but didn't burn.

    So no spinning it half way or 1/4 way through needed to cook evenly??

    • @JTVLIFE
      @JTVLIFE  2 роки тому +2

      Nope! As long as you have the oven good and hot. 20 - 30 minutes pre-heat time. The oven is so small and not insulated so the heat lost in opening the door isn't worth any extra evenness you might achieve turning. The flames go from fire box in back up front to the flume. The door also radiates heat onto front of oven. So, rotating is not necessary- Jason

    • @JTVLIFE
      @JTVLIFE  2 роки тому +1

      @Mark McEathron I have had no issues using the bighorn on plastic Rubbermaid tables or my IKEA teak table. Since most of the heat is vectored up to the roof to radiate heat down onto the stone floor of the oven I think the heat coming off the bottom is fairly subdued.

    Thanks for the great tips. I'm curious how easy is it to get the replacement handle that you had misplaced from this company. Do they offer replacement parts? You mentioned that the top seemed to burn before the bottom crust browned completely...how about leaving the front door off for part of the time to cool down the chamber temperature? Thanks and looking forward to more videos.

    • @JTVLIFE
      @JTVLIFE  3 роки тому

      I haven't thought about reaching out for a replacement fire-box tool. I called the number on the slip that came in the box when I was missing a screw and it was routed to a large call center that represented many eCommerce companies. The rep on the phone didn't really have much product knowledge or even know where to start to get one. At that point I gave up on the screw and pulled one out of my hardware collection. The poor customer service is the trade off for the great price on this oven so I am not to upset about it. I will try the door off too! Most commercial restaurant wood fired ovens don't have doors so it could work. The draft might make it run through pellets more but YOLO! Thanks for watching!

I just don’t like loosing the heat of constantly opening and closing door when it is 55 out. Thanks for watching - Jason

    Any tips to get a more well done bottom without burning your toppings? Ever try to pre cook the dough?

    • @JTVLIFE
      @JTVLIFE  2 роки тому +1

      Pre cooking could help. The oven needs to be preheated for at least 15 minutes. The longer you preheat the better cook you will get on the bottom. I also put the shredded cheese in the freezer for about 20 minutes before I cook pizza so it is slightly frozen. This slows the browning of the cheese down a little so you can get the bottom more crispy. I hope this helps!

    Mine burns my cheese way too easily. Can you cap the chimney while you cook to pizza to prevent that ?

    • @JTVLIFE
      @JTVLIFE  2 роки тому +1

      The chimney helps create the draft that brings the flames up the roof. I've learned its not so much slowing the top from cooking to fast as much as cooking the bottom faster. Make sure you have preheated the oven for at least 20 minutes but up to 30. My temp gun maxes out at 750 deg F and I wait until that happens to cook the first pizza. Also putting your cheese in the freezer for about 20 minutes before you make your pizza will help slow it down little so the bottom can reach perfection before the cheese is toast. Hope this helps!

      I use this simple grill brush - amzn.to/39JKoOI - that I have had on hand for years. When I worked at a restaurant that had a wood pizza oven we used something like this - www.webstaurantstore.com/carlisle-4152000-sparta-oven-and-grill-brush-with-42-wooden-handle-and-scraper/2714152000.html - Key is reach back, then place brush down and sweep back towards door. After last pizza just let the oven cool and cook the rest of the stuff on stone then remove before next light off and brush real good with same brush. Just keep what ever brush you use dedicated to pizza oven because you don't want to streak grease or anything tacky onto the stone. - Jason

      @Tony Gilbert. If you land it closer to the door and it is good and pre heated you usually don’t have to spin it. Some times it will cook a little faster on the fire box side and I’ll give it a rotation but for the most part it actually cooks pretty even. Thanks for watching!

      @Chris Dozhier No, as long as the stone is hot and you have some flour, preferably semolina, down on peel before you put it in you’ll be Golden. Just don’t touch the pizza for at least a minute. Also avoid very thin parts on you dough where sauce could leak through and clear all rouge toppings and cheeses off peel before you slide pizza in. Little rando pieces of stuff WILL glue your pie to the stone! Thanks for watching Chris

      @JTVLIFE  3 роки тому +3

      Yes, I find if the oven is hot enough you don’t really need to turn. Just land the pizza closer to the door than the fire box and it will cook fairly even. It’s a give and take on opening door to turn real quick or leaving it and not letting all the heat out and having a small portion of the pizza have more char but an overall quicker cook and better texture over all. Try it both ways! Let me know how it works. -Jason

      How long are you preheating your oven for? Let it heat up for at least 15 minutes after flames come out of the chimney. Also, during this period make sure that you are feeding pellets to the oven the whole time to keep that fire roaring. Then, right before you cook your pizza make sure that you add some pellets and wait for them to ignite before putting the pizza in. Finally pre heat and cook with the door on! Hope this helps.
