Did you ever find out

Here is an affiliate link for it: amzn.to/43dN1jm - i used it with my Ooni before and it has help up well for much less than their stand. I may need to tighten my screws a bit but transparently, mine does lean a bit at times if I've been moving it around.

Sounds amazing! I have not done cranberries on pizza, but it sounds great.

I had not heard about that one and did do some coming around. That does sound amazing. That said, I love the look and feel of the Gozney and whole I had been initially disappointed that it would not hold two - I realized as a home cook, I never have two pies ready at once so it would not make a difference for me.

@@HomeOfHardy it's not about making two at a time. It's about being able to alternate between spots in the oven. people assume that a thicker stone retains more heat, but at the end of the day 2 spots is infinitely better as you have no limit to how fast you can bake if you are only doing 1 at a time. if you are baking 2 pizzas at a time or have a party where everyone builds their own pizza, you can do really high output

Good idea

Definitely something I am working on!

I’m feeling confident for that with my pizza - I like the idea of doing it for my sourdough artisan breads but the Dutch oven method I use is working well for now:)

Thanks! Definitely real life happening here including parts that I just had to cut for too much real:)

@@HomeOfHardy 😂👍🏻. I have to do the same!!

I wish I could help more on this and agree these are important comparisons for that use. I’m ultimately a home chef and do not own the other ovens for comparison otherwise I would love to do so - I hope we will start seeing some of those soon!

The arc xl is the way to go, u can do 2 pizzas at a time...bigger is better for business...I have 1 for home use and it's awesome!

I just ordered the Arc XL. For about $100 more it seems like an easy decision. More room to work with, pretty much same heat up time and heat retention etc.

@@kbesner Congrats! Hopefully you used one of the deal codes too and got the price back down a bit!

@@HomeOfHardy I tried, wouldn't work for me, maybe doesn't work on the Canadian site?

In general I turn it up in between to return the stone to temperature but in my case there were two reasons why I was not always doing this - 1) with guests over and helping decorate the pizzas, we often did not have the next one immediately available so high makes it too hot in that time, and 2) if it was already hotter than I prefer I put it low to allow it to drop. That said, in looking at my overall results I plan to put it high and cook at a higher temp next time as my tops were cooking faster than the bottoms.

I agree and actually just got one! If you check my Arc XL - 8 Pie video I started using it in there and did appreciate that change. Next I'll likely get a metal perforated placement peel - one step at a time:)

​@HomeOfHardy my journey is similar to yours. I just got a metal peel finally this week!

I agree that it did not have as much as I was hoping for. After cooking on this a few times I find within 30-40 minutes it is easily around 800 on the stone. I think between being distracted my recording video and guests I was not consistent enough with turning my flame down during the bake so the balance was off

Great - thanks for the link!@@HomeOfHardy

I'm looking forward to making the transition soon! Glad to hear it has made a big difference for you.

Someone needs to make a door for the arc

Great question and I wish I was more qualified to help answer it. I do not have and have not owned a Roccbox - I just transitioned from an Ooni Fyra. Curious to hear what others say.

@@adamcain4603 - I've wondered if they will come out with one. The only accessory called out in their communications but not yet released is a mantel - I'm curious to see if they do a door as well. I was impressed with how well it did without one, but we'll see.

Harpland (on YT) made a video comparing (not the rocc tho) the Domes, which have small openings / doors, and Arc. Watching it and other reviews gives you an idea that the way the Arc is build, it will for sure perform better than the rocc. I had my doubts about the big opening, but the flame design and the fact that the stone will maintain a certain temp and heats up back to max super quick, makes the big opening irrelevant.

Some Dads cook did a comparison with the Ooni Karu and his experience was that the arc stone temp bounced back twice as fast as the Karu and got up to temp slightly faster even though the Karu has a door. He did also say that a third party is hopefully coming out with a door

Haha - to each their own. We have a number of savory pizzas that we add fruit to including blackberries and pears.

I love using fig jam as a sweet component to balance out savory meats.@@HomeOfHardy

No, sorry that was unclear - Artisan Bryan has a cookbook and a number of recipes. This was a sourdough crust I had started the day before. Ultimately it was not my favorite crust and I’m going to keep playing with it.

Sorry to hear that! The black one looks amazing and I hope they come back in stock soon!

Had you ordered already and they just haven't been able to send? If not, I did put a 10% off link in the description if it is useful when they come back in stock.

Some BBQ places have it in stock brother. Mine shipped yesterday and is arriving Friday. I ordered it Monday eve.

@@ro8144thanx, considering my options. Bought and paid for. Company I ordered from contacted Gozney today but no answer back yet.

I did the same while waiting for mine - I hope yours comes soon! I really appreciate the tips! Still lots of learning to do! The extra semolina is probably partial a carry over from some sticky situations when waiting for my Ooni stone to get back up to temp. I have seen that most use the perforated peel for placement and have it on my wishlist for future purchase - it is helpful to understand how it has helped you.

@@HomeOfHardy i'm already 3 years into my pizza making/learning journey and still learning every baking session. I've watched allot of TH-cam content where i learn allot from and put that into practice when baking and finetuning it to my likings. On more tip; put your turning peel shortly in the flame to heat it up before turning, this way you have less change to ripp the bottom of the pizza, like with one of your pizza's. Enjoy your pizza journey!

It’s true with these two. I am interested to see a comparison with the Koda 16

What a ridiculous statement. One costs 300$ the other costs 700$+. Like comparing an Audi to a Ferrari. Muppet.

I hate it when it happens - and I was also super impressed how fast that arc flame turned it into ash!

​@HomeOfHardy in my Ninja oven it took a while to dry out cheese grease. Cranked up the Arc flame when a thin dough bled through and it was so nice to brush the dry ash off a lot sooner.

@@DKTD23 it is impressive! I’ve noticed it does not get the front of the stone as well for cleaning off - I’m guessing a door will help that part of the stone heat up better but I’ll have to be more careful with it for now

In due time. When the newness wears off, you will forget all about having to wait.

@@DrSMSingyeah maybe, but after customer support telling me today that they oversold the arc xl who knows when i’ll get it

Oh no! So sorry to hear that - I hate the anticipation of waiting or these things

Ordered my Arc xl on 3/6/24 it is now 3/30/24 and no one has an answer when I will get my oven. today I purchased a different oven and am cancelling my Arc Xl order. Fed up...

@@thunderbird233 That is frustrating - sorry to hear that! I hope the other one works well.

Congrats! I heavily debated going with the black - it looks awesome!

You'll be very pleased with the Arc XL. The side-oriented burner mimics a wood-fire well. Love being able to see the coloring very easily. The temperature probe is also on the underside of the stone which allows us to know how hot it is entirely through.

Sounds well worth the wait, ty for the info.

I love Detroit style but have not invested in a pan yet to do my own- I’m looking forward to trying one at some point

@@HomeOfHardyDefinitely go with LloydPans, brother. Best in the game. I’m not affiliated at all. Just an advocate.

@@troy4692 Thanks for sharing! I'll check them out

I saw that - they went fast! Luckily I saw the announcement early on in their emails and was able to get signed up for the early launch. It was just one day before the general launch and I went in within the first minute of it opening. I hope they get more in stock soon for you!

I got the Arc and it’s great. Thanks for sharing.

@@HomeOfHardybought one on early launch but I’m still waiting for mine to ship from Gozney.

@@troy4692 glad you were able to order and sorry to hear it hasn’t shipped, I hope it comes your way soon!

I bought my cover tonight and they gave me a 10% coupon to share that gives you 10% off orders of $400 or more - feel free to use it if you get one when they are back in stock. (FYI - I also get $25 for each person who uses it)

Remember that the Signia now have gone to the Augmented Experience AX models now. Personally I have the Phonak Paradise and I can't fault them for BT performance or sound..10/10. I was using them handsfree today in the supermarket on a phone call to a customer while carrying groceries...such is the huge benefit of hands free BT. You can also use the HA in the car to make phone calls and even get driving instructions, the weather, simply by tapping your ear....

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with them! I know a lot can depend on the domes and the fitting you get as well as your particular hearing loss. I'm glad the Phonak's worked better for you. I was excited about a lot of their tech features but they just did not work as well as I had hoped. I hope the rest of the trail goes well for you - I would love to hear if you end up going with them!

@@HomeOfHardy Hi Jonathan. I agree fitting and setting up is vital. I had a different experience with the Phonak P90 Paradise. I find the bluetooth very solid on both my Lenovo Laptop I use for work and my MacBook Air M1. I spend hours streaming. It switches between phone calls and streaming just fine. I have some Sony h.ear noise reducing headphones and they actually work wonderfully well over the top of my hearing aids. Mind you I don't use them that often as I just normally play music over the HomePod or Google Max speakers. Videos I just stream from the MBA. It is good to get a variety of opinions and honestly I'm not surprised that some people have trouble with Bluetooth on a particular device. It isn't the Phonak hearing aids though, just the nature of bluetooth (if you are unlucky) with some devices. I also leave my Phonak in all day every day and I haven't run the batteries out yet.

Absolutely!

Unfortunately, the cost vary by provider and technology level. Most providers do it as a service so you get the hearing aids and all the service on them for the time you have them as well as a certain warranty against all issues. S. mine was 6k for both aids with the case at the highest technology level. I imagine there can be quit a bit of variation on that. I fortunately had great insurance coverage for these.

Absolutely - glad they were useful:)

Sorry for the slow response! I have not tried the mic. I use my phone and as long as I have it near me it seems to do a great job picking things up:)

Glad it was useful!!!

Unfortunately I don't have Car Play so I don't have this specific scenario but I can share some things I think will help. Because these are "Made for iPhone" hearing aids they don't actually show up in your Bluetooth connected device list; you make all adjustments and connections through the Accessibility settings. With this, when I connect my airpods or a bluetooth head set it will generally play from whatever the last device I connected was (usually I have the Hearing Aids on so when I get in my car and connect to the bluetooth in there it starts playing their right away). If you ever want to you can then select from the phone settings or the general auido settings which device you want it to play on. Is that helpful?

Thank you

Glad it was helpful! I really struggled to find this type of thing when I was looking which is why I put it up.

Nice! Let me know how you like them! Definitely an adjustment but I love them now that I am use to them again.

Thanks for the tip! I did hear back from my hearing provider and they do have a fix coming for this in the December firmware update.

This fix did end up working for me and this problem has gone away

I have definitely found that these make a difference. This is often a problem for me, particularly when someone is talking from another room or looking away from me and this definitely helps. If you know you are going to be in a scenario where a lot of people are wearing masks I do think their mask setting would help but you have to pull your phone out to turn it on and it has not been worthwhile for me. I'll also point out, that in situations where there is a lot of background noise (ie washing the dishes) it amplifies that sound as well which can make hearing others harder. Some of the programs help with this but it is still an issue.
