    OK, so this vs the Coles Thomson one $299 vs $230 if you find stock ?
    Coles is steel shell, this one says die cast aluminium ?
    Coles one didn't come with a door to trap heat when heating up or cooking ……

    • Irishness on 30/01/2023 - 14:08

      this one doesn't have a door either, they are very similar in design especially the interior, this is a little more compact at the back, I would suspect there is very little difference in them cooking wise apart from price

    • AssociatedRG-Marketing @ solt.house on 30/01/2023 - 14:30

      Hi, the Solt has a die cast aluminium body which will last better than a steel shell (particularly with how salty Australian air can be depending on where you live). The Solt model also features a larger stone which is not just great for cooking larger pizza, but also for cooking things in pans (just make sure you use cast iron).

      Some other differences:
      - Max Temperature… Thomson: 400º C / Solt: 500º C
      - Pizza Paddle included… Thomson: No / Solt: Yes
      - Carry Bag included… Thomson: No / Solt: Yes
      - Recipe Book included… Thomson: No / Solt: Yes

        Not saying the Thomson is better. But I did manage to buy one. It does come with a paddle and carry bag.

      They will all do the same job. I have Coles Monro pizza oven, got for $99 on clearance last year. Works just as well as Ooni. There would be a huge profit margin in these as they are really quite simple, $599 is a BS RRP.

      • garage sale on 30/01/2023 - 20:21

        it’s why i didn’t get an ooni….figured try coles one and see how it goes ….ideal,would be cheap 16” one with a door, but might be limited market as needs more storage space …..

    • PCHammond on 31/01/2023 - 16:42

      FWIW, if you find the Coles Thomson one, they are now $169

      I bought one for 169 in NSW today, and 2 friends in other states paid the same this week

    Almost 15k BTU and 500C, still a bit low but pretty good for a portable unit.

    inb4 the same people saying you don't need a high BTU gas burner for wok cooking come here and say they can get the same result with their gas or electric ovens. And say there are Italians in villages or apartments who don't have access to gas, but are still able to make a proper Neopolitan pizzas, and high temp pizza cooking is snobbery

      I'm thinking of buying this for use as a wok burner, your thoughts?? https://www.bcf.com.au/p/companion-megajet-burner/215772.htm…

      I like to do things the proper way too, and yes it does make a difference. Love the Neapolitan pizza out of my Monro. I was doing them in the oven previously, still tastes good, but far from the real deal.

      • rosebank on 30/01/2023 - 16:26

        85k BTU is perfect, and it's quite cheap as well. Only issue is the cooking surface is flat for a round bottom wok. A flat bottom wok is not ideal, but workable. Or you can weld a ring on the trivet (DO NOT DO THIS! MANUAL SAYS NO MODS!). Or you can heat the trivets and bend them down a bit depending on the clearance to the burner (REMEMBER DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE!)

        Off topic but I bought one of the burners from BCF - very happy with it. Get good char on noodles and rice. I don't find the lack of a trivet to be an issue. I have a largish cast iron wok and I find it's quite stable enough, and nothing to get in the way when tossing food around in it.

        • nubzy on 30/01/2023 - 23:25
          +1

          Your wok is flat base I presume?? I was planning on buying a new carbon steel wok to go with this purchase. Wanted a large round base. Will probably go for this burner and work out a solution, it is much cheaper than other options and has very good heat output.

          • rosebank on 31/01/2023 - 01:19

            @nubzy: You sound pretty commited to this, and that's great to hear. If you want to go all out, when you buy a wok from an Asian grocer, get a large stainless steel ladle as well. Because wok tossing is actually sliding the wok forward across the ring, while pushing the food with the ladle, with a small flipping motion at the end. The wok never leaves the ring and it's very efficient. I've seen chefs then lift the wok and whack it with the side of the ladle, and the food flies into the ladel, and onto the plate in one motion. But I still haven't been able to do that.

            If you want to go a step further, grab a Chinese cleaver as well, and learn how to use it. Everything should cost you under $100. Grab a large 40+ cm wok if you can, no fancy handles, because that will mess with the tossing.

      Sorry, went to upvote you and clicked downvote. Now I can’t remove it!

      Agree. My Ooni Karu 16 is 25.5k BTU, has way better insulation than this Solt, and just taps 500°C on a day without much wind. 15k BTU would be a struggle.

      • rosebank on 31/01/2023 - 01:04

        Np. When the specs say "up to" 500c, I just assume that's in a lab with ideal conditions, and they don't say how long it takes to get up to 500C to make your 60 sec pizzas. But you can't really lie about the power output, so I just look at the BTU and sort of calculate in my head. If I do get one of these, it'd have to be close to 100k BTU and reach 700-800C. But I'd rather build my own wood pizza oven because it sounds fun and would be a cool project to work on. And the pizzas will be better.

        • Broos on 31/01/2023 - 07:13
          +1

          700°-800° C will cremate the pizza. I can’t find a single resource stating above 540° being used for pizza cooking. What information leads you to believe you need temperatures that high to cook a pizza? Are you possibly confusing Fahrenheit and Celsius?

          “How hot are pizza ovens? Pizza ovens can reach temperatures as high as 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, although they typically get up to 700-800 degrees Fahrenheit on average.” https://fornopiombo.com/blogs/news/how-hot-are-pizza-ovens

          • rosebank on 31/01/2023 - 10:19

            @Broos: When I say "reach 700-800c" I don't intend to keep it there. I just want to make sure it heats up quickly and has the power to maintain the temp I want when it's windy or whatever.

            Just like this on can get up to to 500C with 15k BTU

          These are absolutely capable of making a proper pizza, there's not going to be anything better about the pizzas coming from your wood pizza oven, despite the huge amount of extra work involved with making the fire every time.
          The beauty of these machines is that you can just turn them on and go !

          • rosebank on 31/01/2023 - 10:23

            @Nom: Sorry, I didn't intend to start a gas v wood oven fight. I like building things, and I'm a pyromaniac. That's about it really

            I personally do think a wood oven pizza is better than gas, just like charcoal grilled meat.

          But I'd rather build my own wood pizza oven because it sounds fun and would be a cool project to work on. And the pizzas will be better.

          Gas oven takes about 15 min to come up to heat to start cooking
          wood oven takes at least an hour to come up to heat
          gas on and off with the turn of a knob on a bottle small footprint can be moved
          wood stoking a fire constant attendance no off switch cant use half the year in a fire ban region messy with ash and wood larger footprint normally in a fixed position

          Almost went down the wood oven rabbit hole now i am glad i didn't especially living in the bush and fire ban season.
          With the amount of use it gets and time to start cooking there is no way a wood oven makes sense for home use unless you are constantly using it for a huge family

          • rosebank on 31/01/2023 - 10:27

            @Loot N Plunder: I have a large backyard and I like building things. I live in the metro area. I don't mind starting a fire and maintaining a it; just like I don't mind starting a BBQ, or smoking meats overnight, or maintaing the coals on a spit with a whole lamb or suckling pig.

  • Catubet on 30/01/2023 - 15:12

    I have the Solt one and happy with quality of pizzas burnt a few edges from putting pizzas in too far and learning to get temperature correct, but really happy so far. Great fun with family everyone making their own pizzas. Used it 3 times since Xmas.

  • bruint on 30/01/2023 - 15:44

    Always nervous about these brands, as if the stone shatters (not unusual if your base has a hole and the sauce leaks through creating a temp differential) it would be hard to get a replacement.

    Does anyone know if the nozzle is standardised, so I can replace it together with the hose/regulator and connect to a natural gas tap?

    • Nom on 01/02/2023 - 20:09

      Why would you want to ?
      Natural gas has about half the energy of bottled gas, and the daily supply charge makes it more expensive than bottled gas. So you'd be paying more for less heat 🤷🏼‍♂️

      • pizzaguy on 01/02/2023 - 21:43

        I already have a connection and I could plug it into the wall instead of dealing with the gas bottles.

        • Nom on 01/02/2023 - 22:16

          See previous post, the bottled gas is better in every way 👍
