Earthfire Pizza Oven

Postby Chris__M » 03 Aug 2011, 13:41

This looks like fun:

http://www.grenadier.co.uk/pizza.php

A table-top ceramic cooker, fueled by either charcoal or wood, it is sold as a pizza oven, but can also be used as a table-top grill or smoker. At 250 quid, I think it's quite neat.

No, I am not buying one, as I have enough such toys. Doesn't stop me from admiring it though.

I'm not sure why people think this is particularly expensive, for what it is. While not cheap, it is, after all, a ceramic cooker, and it appears to be larger and cheaper than the mini-table-top version of the BGE, which is the closest thing I can think of to compare it with.

I haven't had any direct experience with the Earthfire, so have no idea how good a cooker it is. But the price is comparable with similar products in the market. As for the "free pizza peel", it is being sold primarily as a pizza oven. I suspect that if it didn't come with a peel, the same naysayers would be saying "it doesn't even come with a peel".

My original post was simply that I had come across this, and thought it interesting enough to mention here. I definitely think it comes under the category of "New Toys". So I don't see why folk think this is particularly outrageous.

Hi Chris, maybe I'm mistaken but the earth fire seems to me more like a pair off terracotta tapas dishes than a BGE. No
offence was intended however and I'd be happy to be proved wrong

Oh, no offence taken, at all! I was just surprised that folk saw this as expensive, compared to any other BBQ item on the market in the UK.

On a related subject, elsewhere, I have been seeing some excited discussion of the "new" pellet grill coming out of Germany. The Bob Grillson pellet grill is selling for approximately 7,000 euros. Now that *is* expensive.
