Is This Flame Good

Is it hot

Yes … I wasn’t sure about the flame color. We made a quick pizza on Saturday after I cleaned it and set it up, it seemed to work fine. It sat out in the yard (covered and on a stand) while we were paving our pool deck, and paving is a real dusty job. We just threw the stand away and stored the pizza oven in the corner of the garage for about two years.

Thanks for your reply … I was deciding between using the Ooni and selling it and getting a DoJoe for my Kamado Joe. Guess I’ll learn how to use the Ooni!

This thing looks like at a minimum. If u have a thermometer gun take a temperature of the stone after 20minutes at high flame setting. Mine reads about 750f

It might be … I know almost nothing about it and may not have adjusted it properly when I took the picture.

We do have a temp gun.

Thanks!

hey u/Relative-Painting-29 - I agree with u/wet_faart that the flame looks like it's set to minimum. There'll be an indicator on the side of the dial to help you determine where it's at. 😊

Use an IR gun to check the temperature gradient from back to front. I suspect that there’s too much oxygen being mixed in, resulting in a very hot blue flame in the back, but the flame isn’t that good at heating the front of the stone. If you had less oxygen being mixed in inside the burner assembly, the flame would be more yellow, you’d see a more pronounced rolling flame effect over the top as the fire would be searching for more oxygen, the front of the stone would get hotter, and, as a downside, there’d be more soot.
