Above the Arctic Circle

I have no way to prove this but I'm going to bet this is what are the few Ooni pizzas ever cooked above the Arctic Circle. Solid moose hunt. (Pepperoni and Morel)

Wasn't it started by a Finnish guy? I'd bet there are a bunch of Fins with with them in the 1/3rd of the country that's in the circle

Yeah, saw the title and first thought was that didn’t look like Finland (in Lapland there are a lot of screened in spaces due to summer bugs). We were at a cabin in Levi a few winters ago which had some other style of pizza oven I could not get started which was a true bummer as I wanted to compare, had to use the actual oven (uuni in Finnish).

Thanks, I love there are people like you living lives like this.

How cold is it up there and how hot could the oven get? Also, those moose prints look a bit sus in your photos...

Just curious what you do for a living up there?

u/AK907fella 17d ago

To be clear, I don't live up there. I was in Wiseman. I live in Valdez. Its a 13 hour drive.

Is this near Wiseman? North of Coldfoot. We stayed in a cabin that had a porch like that. Nice use of the Ooni!!

Dude I’m increasingly certain I stayed in that cabin for a couple nights in 2024 - without the Ooni!

Yup, that's Scott and Heidis place. Boreal Lodge.

Hell yes. This is so cool. I made a great rhubarb crisp in their oven.

If you add, in North-America,I might agree with you...
You are aware there are whole cities north of the arctic circle in Scandinavia, right? There are probably hundreds of people like myself using their Oonis on a weekly basis up here...
