"I also like that it registers higher temperatures than other thermometers I reviewed."
"I found that even when the thermometer is off, the sensor is soon at the ambient temperature of its surroundings, and that as soon as I turn it on, I can find out what the temp is. In both those cases I could see the sensor start to react to the change in temperature within a second or two of opening it, but that was long enough to see what the reading was."
"The only thing is if you're expecting "exact" temperature, then you may need to look elsewhere. I was using it for water temperature and as long as it didn't vary too much, I was OK."
"Bought this handy thermometer back in April 2016, enjoyed it so much at work (Broiler Chef) that I bought one for the casa weeks later because of the price and ease for the Mrs. Well, first one took a spazz on me and doesn't display/read temps anymore so I traded it out for the house one."
"This thermometer ensures that whatever he is grilling (steak, burgers, salmon) or cooking in the over (chicken, bread, casseroles) come out perfectly!"
"I have not used this as a meat thermometer yet, but my wife and I are finding lots of uses for this device."
"The auto shut off function is really nice, and I'm not constantly worrying about the battery draining."

We used the Cuisinart through a Minnesota Winter and when temps were around zero, it took 15 minutes or so to cook a pizza. Also of note, it was completely cooled off by the time the movie was over so we could pack it back into the car. Luckily we had an extra that is a little smaller than the one that came with the Cuisinart so we could put and pull pizza into this oven. Both come with the same basic additional accessories otherwise (i.e. stand, expanded utensil kits). Pros. + Maintains very hot, brick oven Temps. + Allows you to make incredible pizzas. + Auto light option is very nice. + Portable. + Seems Rugged. + Will take a standard grill propane tank. Cons. - Not quite as beautiful as the Cuisinart. - Does not come with a pizza peel. - Rattles a little in the car during transport. - A little bit of assembly before use. Summary. This is a workhorse oven that may not be as beautiful as the Cuisinart, but the addition of the built in igniter and the ability to maintain, higher pizza crushing temperatures make this as good or better when it comes to functionality."
"I called pizza que, and talked with someone about this, and she said it should not be an issue, but to keep it covered if out in the weather, if it became a problem that they would replace it. I also purchased a 12" pizza screen which gives you more control of your crust browning."
"I love pizza but it's hard to get a home oven hot enough to make decent pizza."
"Now I use premium unbleached bread flour to make my own dough and a high quality pizza sauce."
"works great for shop pizza parties."
"In the winter, temps around 32 degrees, it took 5-6 (depending on the thickness of the pizza). I'm going to buy another one so I can handle a pizza party in a timely manor."
"Makes great pizza...I was making pizza on a stone in my oven in the kitchen for the longest time, but it would get so hot in the house due to the high temp of the oven..."
"Very glad we decided to to buy this unit."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I bought this oven as part of a package on Groupon, but not until I'd read all the reviews here and on several forums on the web. And yes, I had some concerns after reading that some buyers had received either defective ovens or parts damaged in shipment. My suggestion is to take advantage of the opportunity and insert the D batteries in the motor before you connect it to the oven. After buying one thermometer that only went up to 715'F, I exchanged it for this model-the least expensive model that measures over 1,000'F (to give some latitude) this is the one I got from Amazon and am using: TopG® TG8550 -58 to 1022°F Instant-read IR Infrared Thermometer Non-contact Temperature Gun with Laser Sight Targeting Pointing range -50 to 550°C Celsius or Fahrenheit; Built in infrared (IR) sensor and LCD screen with backlight; Battery included. There are several models on the same page. The laser temperature of the stone was about 700' and the air temp shown on the built in oven thermometer was about 400'. Here is a link to the 3 min You Tube video showing my pizza bianca baking. I buy just about everything I can from Amazon, mostly because they have excellent prices and better service and it saves me a whole lot of time. I do try to support US manufacturers when I can (just bought a US-made kitchen range too) and this is a family owned company in your neck of the woods, Dorset, VT. 2nd generation. John Boos Mystery Butcher Block Oil, 16 ounces. One of the reasons I chose this oven over the Pizzeria Pronto or the Uuni wood pellet oven was to be able to cook other things in addition to pizzas. To that end I looked for a pan that could handle high heat and would fit in the oven, and that cost as little as possible. I think you'll find that making your own dough is NOT difficult, especially if you have a sturdy stand mixer or food processor. I do bake a lot (but have less yeast dough experience) and highly recommend King Arthur flour. Amazon carries Caputo Double 00 flour, and if you get a pack of 10 one kilo bags the shipping is free."
"Upon returning from this trip I've found an excellent local Brick Oven Pizza place, but I wanted to make my own at home. The owner's manual states that there is some trial and error to find the best cooking settings for your pizza oven. BTW, it's late January in the upper Midwest and I was lucky to have the warm temp of 27 F when I was cooking pizza outside."
"I need to baby sit the pin during use to make sure it does not work its way loose. I can't leave it unattended, the pin will come out and the rotation will stop, resulting in a burned edge on the pizza. While disassembling the oven to diagnose, I found the base screw for the burner was loose."

Find Best Price at Amazon"They are small plastic coaster type wheels, so don't expect to be rolling it over rough areas or for long distances. I like having the glass door on the front, but I do have to admit that once you get some smoke rolling, and if you have moisture in there (from the meat or if you add it in the pan), the door is going to smoke and steam up pretty quickly and you won't be able to see inside for long. (For instance I put apple juice in the pan with turkey breast to keep it moist.). To easily clean the glass, use Weber's grill cleaner and rinse after with water. With the included remote, you can check on your meat temps without ever leaving your chair. After a year of moderate use, the temperature set button is not working on our front panel. They do sell replacement panels for the front, but the problem is easily remedied by simply using the remote to set the temp. We usually keep the chips burning steady for the first part of cooking to add lots of smoke, and then let them die down near the end. Don't forget you will get fluctuations because there is air coming in from the chip tray and exiting out your vent. Take one of those rotisserie chickens from your local grocery and warm it up in the smoker, add some smoke, and get good smoked chicken in the time it takes you to warm it up."
"If you want to smoke Meats this is your machine keeps a very accurate temperature very easy to operate and the food is delicious."
"I ended up buying a (Yellow Jacket 2883 12/3 Heavy-Duty 15-Amp SJTW Contractor Extension Cord with Lighted Ends,25-Feet) bought on amazon and smoker heated up quick & worked it the way it was meant to work. 6 MONTH UPDATE 11/23/12. well after 6 months and 200+ hours of smoking time, this smoker still works great. the cover I bought for this smoker is the Veranda Square 30" Smoker Cover for Price: $29.00 bought on amazon its a great cover. I did buy the cold smoker adapter for it and that works GREAT, I don't put chips in the main smoker anymore. the cold smoker adapter holds a lot more chips about three good handfuls and produces longer and better smoke then just using chips in the main smoker. you can run the main smoker and the cold smoker at the same time even when using a extension cord in fact I can run the main smoker, cold smoker and my Weber rotisserie at the same time without any problems."

"Blackstone has a helpful 3 min assembly video you can watch either on Blackstone’s site or on youtube search for “Blackstone 36" Griddle Assembly”. The griddle top comes coated in a protective oil to prevent rust. For many griddle users, at this point they slap on some oil or bacon and immediately start cooking. Over time they build up the seasoning that helps protect the griddle surface from rusting and the food from sticking. For a methodical, long lasting seasoning of the griddle, you follow similar steps as you would with seasoning cast iron cookware. Blackstone has a youtube video called “Blackstone Griddle Top Recovery”. This video was made to show people how to restore a rusted griddle top; however, at 2min39sec into this video they cover the topic of seasoning. The Blackstone video agreed with several articles I read about seasoning cast iron cookware with flax oil. I did 6 coatings on my griddle and used just a little more than 3oz total of the oil. The seasoning coat/layer consisted of : 1. wiping on a thin layer of flax oil over the cooking surface (I applied with a paper towel). Even with a great seasoned cooking surface, I add a dash of oil with many of the things I cook (for example, eggs). Cleaning the griddle: Helped along by my well seasoned cooking surface, I find the griddle quick to clean."
"The size is great, not so big that it feels there's wasted space, not so small that you get cranky that you can't fit enough food on it (see pictures)."
"This is the best thing to ever happen to me."
"Great grill."
"Mostly posted a review as to the issue of 'cupping' ie the grill surface warping due to circular burners underneath instead of line burners."

"Pellets are ok, I normally use GMG (green mountain grills) pellets and these seem to make A LOT more ash and not as much smoke."
"I've noticed it leaves slightly different flavor on different meats."
"Propane is a smudge cheaper but you just don't get the flavor and I was a diehard propane fan till I started cooking with pellets."
"Packed in a six inch tube it makes for perfect timing to do a batch of cheese ( 2-1/2 to 3 houres)."
"If I can get them to work, I'll change my review, but I'm having a hard time getting these things to provide smoke."
"Has good smoke flavor but I'm a little concerned that my last cook (12 hours) burned through an entire hopper of pellets even with a welders thermal blanket wrapped around my smoker."
"I think that the pellets tend to break up going from the hopper to the fire and that causes it to catch fire back up my tube."
