Roccbox Wood Burner

I’d purchased the Roccbox (which works via gas power) but had really wanted to be able to cook and enjoy wood fired pizzas so this was a must buy addition for me. I’m so glad I bought it! Wood fired pizzas really do taste the best and also is much simpler to use than gas. This wood burner attaches really easily to the Roccbox (but there is a booklet with illustrations for those that require a little direction) and was ready to use within minutes of unpacking it. We found that it did take a little while to heat up initially, but it’s really just a case of ensuring that you’re not attempting to use it in windy weather and that you use the correct number of wood pellets/kindling for it to fire up and stay alight successfully for cooking. Once heated up to the optimum temperature we found it cooked the pizzas extremely quickly and of course gave that lovely wood fired taste. It really does taste so much better! I’d recommend this wood burner if like me you prefer the taste of pizzas cooked this way and feel less confident with using gas appliances. It’s worth the cost.

This little thing really packs a punch!! Very cleverly designed as well. It was unbelievable that the oven could go up to 500 degrees with this! Obviously do this at your own risk if you are going to, but when loading logs, it was really nice to see that the handle never got hot, so you could just open it with your bare hands. Highly recommended.

Works ok but takes much longer to heat the pizza stone.

Roccbox won’t reach the right temperature to cook Neapolitan pizzas with this. Just use gas instead.

Great product

This will be great for cooking everything but Pizza. Does not heat oven for pizza like the propane does.

I enjoy being more involved with the experience of making pizza. Feeding the flame allows for this to happen. Takes a little longer to cook but worth the wait.

ne chauffe pas assez,.Pasnplus de 450 degré F

I love being able to attach this and cook without propane. Yes it does take a while for it to reach 600 but I knew that when purchasing. I use the roccbox for all types of cooking, and I can get this to 400 in about 15-20 minutes. It’s great to have the choice.

First off, love the Roccbox. Like most reviews here, the wood burner has its pluses and minuses. What I did was use the gas burner to bring the oven up to full 900° temperature. While that was happening, I started the wood in the hopper. Once I got a decent bed of embers, I disconnected the gas (no gloves needed), attached the wood burner housing (no gloves needed), then inserted the hopper. I practiced several times removing the gas and attaching the hopper to a cold oven! The temperature eventually settled into the 550° range. Between pizzas (I made 6), I fed the hopper two to three 5" pieces of hardwood (oak). Although the cook time was longer, about 4+ minutes, the oven was more forgiving, ie less charring. I'd recommend. The pizzas were great and it was fun. BTW, I have another video and several photos for those interested.
