    Re: Won't be starting - Pizza ovens banned by local council

    Without the fire it may as well be a gas/electric oven in the kitchen. I agree that it is all about the rituals and the fire and the smoke, gathering wood and learning the skills needed to use the oven to potential.

    Not sure that I have ever seen a group of people sitting around a gas kitchen range having a beer watching someone mess with the oven, watching the food cook and enjoying the camaraderie of it all.

    Did I mention the fire, the flickering flames - we all have a little boy playing with fire hidden deep inside somewhere.
    Cheers ......... Steve

      We do gather around the gas BBQ so socially it wouldn't change much once friends are there. But I do think they'd be more likely to come often if there's a fire to play with & to sit around after eating. Seems more & more it's not a happening thing........unless I move house into rural zoned area

        This is perhaps a small step up from the plate we use Bakerstone Pizza Oven Box | Pizza Ovens - Gas | BBQs Direct

          Link to a discussion on the Aldi gas pizza oven. Interesting that someone filled one with cement to add to the thermal mass

            Thanks. Can get similar here but 3 to 10 times the price ! Gas fired pizza oven
            I've realised they're effectively pretty much same as hooded BBQ with stone/plate, except have a door rather than opening the hood.

                That is good news for pizza oven makers in NZ. Good to see authorities applying some common sense to such things. Must be a pizza lover in the ranks!!

                  Improving air quality is important, however I think the powers that be saw how ludicrous the existing rule was, particularly as there was no definition of what a BBQ was. It left it way too open to interpretation and in some cases high fire risk devices or very smoky devices were declared ok whereas safe clean ovens were not acceptable. This way they allow all outdoor cooking by one simple rule and then can deal with individuals who cause excessive smoke or create high fire risk via various other rules.
                  The remaining risk now to any pizza oven builder is it's still the 'proposed plan' but has been effective since 28th February 2015. Public submissions being sort with public hearings later in 2015. There's a small chance if build one now that there could be objections to proposed plan during this year and the proposed changes don't become permanent in 2016

                    Forge ahead! Far better to ask forgiveness than seek permission. If the proposed plan doesn't stick, then your oddly-shaped BBQ/ceremonial religious shrine will still turn out some fabulous pizza... by happy coincidence.

                      Excellent news. I'm powering on with mine in the hope that good sense continues to prevails at our esteemed and learned Council.

                        Good on you to be brave however I'm waiting until it's finalised. Main reason is the WFO is the justification for a whole new outdoor area with masonary walls, paving etc. Big job & likely about $7k of expense. I don't want to risk building it then the centre piece becomes redundant
