The Big Horn wood pellet burning outdoor pizza oven makes amazing Neapolitan pizzas like nothing else. The hardwood pellets are fast burning and get the oven to temperatures above 750 degrees fahrenheit. The oven is a real "Pellet Hog". She burns around 200 grams of pellets a pizza, not including the 400 grams it takes to get it to operating temp.
Other outdoor pizza ovens are advertised as "multi-fuel". The Onni is one that has some other videos showing the use of hardwood and lump charcoal. In this video, we investigate if we can use lump hardwood charcoal in the Big Horn Wood Pellet Burning Outdoor Pizza Oven.
We will compare the cost of Charcoal vs Pellets
Talk about charcoal chimneys
Measure the heat and the cooking time of both charcoal and Traeger pellets
Come to a conclusion from our experiment on the best fuel and addition rate of fuel to the Big Horn Pizza Oven.

Makes more sense to use lump charcoal as a base with pellets on top for high heat and flames. I had trouble keeping an active coal base with pellets, because they burn up so fast

@JTVLIFE 3 года назад

I totally agree with that. I have since tried it a few ways and the pellets are still the easiest. You just gotta work real fast!

@Gabi-zq6jv Год назад

its weird seeing pellet prices THAT high, a 10Kg bag should be not more than 6$ a the hardware store

@juricavranovic7274 8 месяцев назад

Great videos. Keep them coming

I recommend you try out Pit Boss pellets they are less expensive and slightly better quality according to RU-vid reviews. I use the Pit Boss pellets, and I am very pleased. The Pit Bos Competition Pellets burn hot and leave a light flavor. For smoking, I like the Pit Boss Hickory Blend for smoking meat.

@JTVLIFE 6 месяцев назад

Love me some Pitboss! They are like $8 a bag at my Walmart!

Hi I got a pizza oven for my 73 Rd birthday back in November, your vids really helped me especially with lighting the oven. I found if I put a little wood charcoal in with the oellets it stays hotter longer.i experimented around with adding small pieces of coal when adding pellets,it works really well.. anyway Happy New Year to you and fam!

@JTVLIFE Год назад

Gerald. Thanks for watching and glad the tips helped!

@AdventuresnfoodwithJenn Год назад

New subscriber here. And a newbie to the backyard mini woodburning pizza oven. I will give this a try and lump charcoal as well. Great video.

Thank you very much for the SUB and watching! - Jason

You Crack me up. You remind me of myself. You are super geeking out on this stuff. Yeah, I could have told you that charcoal wasn't going to work but great vid illustrating it. I have a weber kettle pizza insert. It requires charcoal as a base layer to ignite the wood 2nd layer. Without flames from the wood it will never get hot. Let me make a suggestion. Go out and collect sticks. They are free. Use your miter saw and chop them into 2 inch pieces. You can start and run your oven all day long with free sticks. They burn faster than pellets so it's a bit more work. Looking forward to the next vid using sticks.

@JTVLIFE 2 года назад

@snakeclaw I’m glad that you enjoy and can metabolize the humor. I will definitely work on getting a sticks and twigs Big Horn vid out! Cheers - Jason

I use lump charcoal + chopped up pieces of hardwood in my pellet pizza oven. The lump charcoal stays hotter for longer however u need to put lump wood for the flame. Alternatively use charcoal + pellets. Ie.. charcoal is the base and add the pellets or wood just before u put pizza in for flame. I found it easier than using pellets only as u don't have to fill up every 5mins.

@jasonneugebauer5310 6 месяцев назад

Be careful where you light your charcoal, it makes the cement very hot for several minutes and feet can be burned walking on the cement. Thanks for the awesome video.

Royal Oak has just come out with real charcoal pellets made from hardwood. They burn hot. This is very different from hardwood pellets. One nice thing about the charcoal pellets is that they do not absorb water which is great living near the ocean mist and fog. I got mine at the big box store HD. They tend to give more flavor scent than the hardwood pellets. Plus the two can be blended. Keep up the good work.

@JTVLIFE 2 года назад

@SilverShadow2LWB - Got a couple sacks!! Video coming soon! Thanks for the plug!

@mikey_mike 5 месяцев назад

They make charcoal pellets. I mix them 50/50 with hardwood pellets and it works really good. I haven't tried using wood pellets only so couldn't compare but the 50/50 works good. Gets old keeping it going if you want to do multiple pizzas so i ordered a propane burner for it.

@errolsavage9897 Год назад

I cook with pellets quite a bit, they burn hot. They are fairly economical. I use the in smoke tubes and smokers & grills. For this I’d say good because more heat

@JTVLIFE Год назад

Mad heat with pellets!

@RozsaAmplificationLLC 3 года назад

Excellent video n demonstration, but you NEED to try hardwood sliversor chunks. At the end you just assumed it would be like charcoal. I'm not so sure!hey some slivers/chunks/cubes of Oak or Hickory test it!

@JTVLIFE 3 года назад

@Equinox I checked out the slivers. Cuttingedgefirewwod.com has some real boujee firewood. $50 for a 1/3rd cu/ft box! The chunks and cubes actually look really promising since most of them are kiln dried so not quite wood not quite charcoal. The problem is the size of the fire box. Hard to get all that stuff in there. I will look more into this and do a follow up video if I can find something that works better! Thanks for watching!

@smitty7592 3 года назад

Exactly what I needed to know after my first burn on my new Bighorn today. I wonder about real wood though? Anyway, I do not use Traeger pellets. I buy B&B pellets at Academy. Point being, there are definitely less expensive pellets that are just as good or better than Traeger.

@JTVLIFE 3 года назад

@James Smith. Good looking on the B&B pellets!!! I’ve been using what ever brands I can find and kind of throw the term around loosy goosy like coke for soda. I will definitely be ordering some of these at $14.99 a copy! Check out my other video on fire management and cooking successive pizzas in the Bighorn! Thanks for watching!

@dominickcapito4420 2 года назад

For lump I feel you need a lot. The pellets have to burn. The lump is burnt already so you need more for more heat. My thoughts. Love your vids. Awesome.

@JTVLIFE 2 года назад

Yeah, Pellets are the only way to go with a pellet oven! - Jason

@bigbrowndad6214 2 года назад

I like your videos so I am planning to add a 4-ft exhaust pipe to my pizza oven I'm not a video maker producer guy but you might want to think about that experiment I think it will solve the speed and draw problems

@JTVLIFE 2 года назад

So a little more head pressure on there to keep heat in oven longer and slow flames down? Sounds interesting! - Jason

@chadsadventures 3 года назад

I did this in mine the other day yes never could get it to.go over 400 never cooked my stuff I'll stick with wood chips or pellets also to save some pellets I put pellets in and use a small fan gets them glowing hot fast

@JTVLIFE 3 года назад

I blow on the back of the firebox. A blow dryer could really get stuff popping in there! I have noticed even with pellets it is sensitive to wind in surrounding area for better and for worse.

@peterodriguez2364 Год назад

U kinda answered th question by mentioning that the lump coal takes more space.... a true test would be a coal specific pizza oven.. their baskets are larger for that reason.. and then see how long it takes and compare at that point.. also with coal fueled ovens tossing in a piece of wood last minute spikes th heat even more.. apples to apples??.. maybe.. either way GR8 JOB and very informative video.

@JTVLIFE Год назад

Pete, I’ve been using a mix of coal and pellets in my changemoore oven. Trying to get it dialed in just right then I’ll make a vid on that. It is labeled as a pellet oven but the fire box is so big I’ve been doing a base layer of lump and adding pellets on top. Thanks for watching - Jason

@peterodriguez2364 Год назад

@@JTVLIFE cool.. but another thing to consider is the venting systems.. even th cheaper coal specific pizza ovens have larger holes to vent.. anywhoo.. something to consider.. peace

@lm8443 2 года назад

Have you replaced your pizza stone yet. Anyone try using carbon steel insert when your stone cracks. Any suggestions an also where can you get replacement stone. To add to your video put price of wood chips an make charcoal smaller prices.

@JTVLIFE 2 года назад

@L M Hot off the presses! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H5jTzOGjZ58.html

@johnevans5651 2 года назад

have you tried wood chunks.

@JTVLIFE 2 года назад

@John Evans. Not wood chunks proper. Only chunk charcoal. Do chunks burn well?

@andrewblackburn2702 3 года назад

Would be even cheaper if you used grill master or pitboss pellets

@jaygeorge9791 Год назад

DONT light your chimney's on the concrete ir pavement, over time it will crack. Use a paver or brick to light on.

@JTVLIFE 7 месяцев назад

Very True! Do not do as I do!

@errolsavage9897 Год назад

Or spend more $$ on a Gas Big Horn 😉 no mess, no fuss

@JTVLIFE Год назад

I totally agree. The gas takes a lot of guess work and labor out of it!

@silvertaxi 2 года назад

Nice vid but surely it’s about convenience over saving. It’s only a pizza.

@JTVLIFE 2 года назад

I’m with ya. The pellets rock even if they cost the most. That’s kinda the point I’m trying to make. And it’s never “just a pizza” 😉

@andyeippert1111 2 года назад

I’ll buy pellets. That looks like a lot of screwing around to save $1.

@JTVLIFE 2 года назад

I am with you 100% on that. Its for fun not savings lol. Especially talking a few bucks! Cheers - Jason

@ya00007 2 года назад

All that messing around trying to weight the exact amount of fuel. Who does that? I haven't seen any other video that requires an exact amount. Throw that oven away and purchase a proper Ooni pizza oven.

@JTVLIFE 2 года назад

Humble Servant. I was just giving the weights to be scientific with it. Really it’s just full fire box light. Then add a scoop at a time. I wanted it to be repeatable for people trying to figure it out. Thanks for watching!
