This is the list of those who have participated in the product distribution of the Uuni. We are closing in on completing the review, so need to think about the distribution.
We propose using a random number generator on the computer and broadcasting it live. I thought maybe this Sunday afternoon, Feb. 18 might work best -- say 3 pm Eastern? Please weight in on whether you like the idea, the date, the time, etc.

I'm indifferent. I am sure you will contact me if I win so I don't need to see a live drawing.

Agree completely.

Same.
-
I probably would watch the live drawing and that sounds like a fine time and date
-
I am good with the date and time. Not sure if I can catch it live, but as a few mentioned already, I don't need to see it.

Gee guys, here was my big chance to be the Mayberry version of an old, fat, gray Vanna White and you all (except GrillinGlen!) are killing my big breakout!!! :pig:
-
will there be some sort of predrawing show? maybe a halftime show. it should be lead with fanfare. Post drawing interviews are a must.
Or ya could just do whatever is easiest for you.
-
Your decision is final!
-
Vanna who? Do i need to break out the tailgating gear?
-

The half-time show will be the out takes from Bent's first filming of the Uuni pellet oven. Of course, editing for bad language will result in 3 minutes of just bleeps......
-
Time and date are good with me as well.
I will watch if I remember, but I really can't promise anything when memory is involved.
-
This is my kind of member!

I won’t be able to watch the live drawing but might be able to catch the repeat broadcast. I usually watch the commercials and halftime show anyways.
-
2.5% chance of winning :cool:
-
Whatever is the easiest for you, I'm a big NASCAR fan so will be watching the Daytona 500.
-
I am good with your decision.
-
anyone want to trade numbers? ;D

Sounds like fun, I am in. I take 16, you can have 12. Haha, gotta love it
-
No 36 won. Free Mr. Tony!!! Congrats.
-
that is too funny...congrats
-
PERFECT let the fun begin.
Congrats FMT!
-
Congratulations :clap:
-
Sorry about the crummy live feed. He always has to sit on the sofa with the legs up and so could not get the camera as close as I would have liked, but some of you may have seen the chaos which was the random number drawing!!
-
GOOD SHOW!! Congrats FMT :clap:
-
Contgratulations FMT-look forward to your posts cooking with the Uni.
-
The video cut out for me. I had no idea. I will stay true to what I've stated before. I'd like to take a look at the unit, and do some cooks. I don't have a real long term need for it, so I will post up some pizzas etc then do another random drawing with the same 39 people.
If I really wanted to keep it I would, so there is no need to tell me I can keep it. I know I won it. And I thank the long time guys for their belief in the process. I can't help but think there are some newer guys who are staying quiet, but have some doubt.
I think by doing it the way I have laid out we can get some bonus coverage of the unit on the site, and someone else can then enjoy the rest of it's life cycle.
Thanks everyone.
-
Congrats FMT!
Look forward to seeing your thoughts of it.
-
I guess Kristin has sent you the info on how much it is going to be to ship to you? Send me that amount from the pool, then if you are going to have a drawing for it, take the rest and use it to ship to the winner of your drawing! I am not getting involved in that drawing! If there is left over you can let us know, if there is not enough, you can also let us know, and I will make up that difference this one time!
Yeah, I know it was on the up and up, but if you scripted something to make folks wonder about integrity, you could not have come up with a better scenario!
-
If someone is inferring that, they are goofier than a pet coon. Please tell me that isn't the case.
-
No one is...It is just my life story how things go...
-
Congratulations FMT. Hopefully we can some more contests...
-

Good deal, I read that and thought, REALLY. I was hoping that no one thought that.
-
up to 2.56% chance to win the 2nd auction. :cool:
-
Now that is funny!
-
Congrats FMT. I suspect the Russians tainted the results. :-\
I would like to add that I would be happy to participate in additional similar product trials/raffles, it was fun to be involved and watch the results. Thanks for making it happen!
-
Congratulations FMT, can't wait to see what you are going to cook in it.
I to would be interested in other deals like this with tickets to purchase products.
Thanks to all that put this together.
-
And maybe you will do me a favor and you will have something I did not that will fit in it to do the sear on a piece of meat? I know that is asking a lot, since I hosed Just David...And if you really wanna help a brother out, the Fat Mall Pretzels!
I'd like to take a look at the unit, and do some cooks.
This may sound funny (and I'm sure the internet could tell me if I wasn't so lazy), but I'd like to see if it would be possible to use this for other purposes - like reverse searing a steak after taking it off the pellet grill.

I've never made 800 degree pretzels, but I'll look into it. I'll throw a few things at it. May try a thick pizza just for kicks. Pretty sure I can find something out for a sear. Any idea if a half sheet pan would fit? I did a reverse sear that way in the Blackstone. If I get really ambitious, I may be able to do a side by side.
I also hope that this continues for others to win other (maybe even bigger ) prizes.
-
Is a sheet pan like a cookie sheet? If so, no. And on the pretzels, I was thinking maybe you would have the patience to babysit it and keep it around 400°...but I don't blame you if you don't cuz I didnt!
-
Just saw the results and this is what I have to say about that!...
CONGRATULATIONS FMT!!!
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
-
I’d be real interested in your pizzas side by side with the blackstone and the uuni:)

I can do a couple like that. I can maybe do a 55% hydration versus a 62% since we talked about that as well. I have to order some 00 since I've gotten away from that as well. I maybe can do some comparison of my dough versus strictly 00 too. I've been making a 50/50 high gluten/bread flour mix for awhile now that I've been happy with.

It's a half cookie sheet. It's approximately 13 x 10.

Congrats FMT!
And thank you, Thanks Bentley, and thanks Kristin for putting this together and giving us your time for the review and drawing. Can’t wait for more of these!

Ha, haven't hosed me a bit!
But I think all of us are excited that FMT won it. That is the perfect ending to this whole thing and I hope he loves this unit and keeps it forever.
That said, fat mall pretzels! That's a great idea!
-
Fed Ex say FMT will have it by end of business on Weds...
-
Congrats, FMT!
-
I ordered some 00 flour today. As quickly as the uuni is arriving the first cook may have to be my high gluten/bread flour mix. I'd also like to see how one of my sausage rolls fares in there.
-
Congrats FMT. Look forward to seeing many cooks. Thank you to Kristin, Bent and everyone who not only put this together but who also participated. Look forward to seeing more in the future.
-
This is who I would like to thank...They were not about to send me one, and I guarantee I was not buying it. So the Members of this site made this whole Product Review possible!
Thank you to...everyone...who also participated. Look forward to seeing more in the future.
-
Congrats Mr. Tony. This was fun and can’t wait until the next adventure
-
Total fix!!
;)
-
FMT, could you try some pierogies in there and some tater tots
grilled cheese, scalloped potatoes, ruth cris style steak

Believe it or not, I've never had a pierogi. Boil, then pan fry? Is there a decent store bought brand? I would assume I can find them, but actually don't know.
Tator tots for sure. More than likely the rest of the stuff too. I'll have to get an idea on the space inside, and see what I need for cookware. I've got a wide variety of stuff, so I can't imagine I don't have something that will work for most things.
-
Mrs T's is the "national" brand. I think if you basted some high heat oil on them, you could place them right in the oven. I usually saute them in butter or olive oil. Some people deep fry. Some boil. If I am not too lazy to cut up some onions, I sautee them with the pierogies.
-
Ohh, now for the good new, when I went to pack it, I noticed the allen wrench under the unit was gone. The unit was on the dinning room table and then walked outside, then walked back inside to pack and I could not find it. Sorry. It is a 1/8...
-
I've got plenty of allen wrenches. No biggie.
-
The allen wrench isn't metric?
-

The smaller ya get, the less it matters.
-
According to Uuni the correct allen wrench is a M3 (3 millimeter)
The customer service from Uuni was very responsive to my email.
-
Good statements...My set of allen wrenches says it was a 1/8...Obviously I am reading it wrong.
-
The uuni came in the same delivery with my 00 flour. I may fire it up tonight just to mess with it. Probably won't cook pizza until the weekend. We are hitting another cold snap so kind of depends on that too, but I'll probably just set up in my garage.
-
I would call that perfect timing. Have fun.
-
I only messed with it for a half hour or so, but there will be a learning curve. Did not have a problem with high temps.

And it went higher than that.

It was either sooty or shooting through the chimney, and not much in between. The only thing I can figure out is I started the original pellets too fast, but I'll check it out some more in the next few days.
-
Holy cow, it looks like it's a fire breathing monster.
WAY hot, a person would have to know dough or that would turn store bought into useless charcoal biscuits best I can tell.

There was no way a pizza would have been edible no matter what. Every time I opened the front flames shot out the front and back. I'll have to keep working.
-
Good luck! The reason why the chimney is discolored is that happened the 2nd time I started it!
-
I've got 4 of these ready to go for tomorrow night. I'm fully expecting to burn them to a crisp so they will be pretty simple. Was planning on doing a side by side video with the Blackstone, but that may have to end up being two separate cooks. The uuni just needs too much looking after to try to do two at once at the same time. I was hoping to show them cooking simultaneously, but I doubt that will happen.
It's a 100% 00 dough with 56% hydration.

Will see how much captain Morgan I consume before I fire it up, and maybe I will feel differently...

Glad I am seeing some familiar comments!

FMT, you should start a separate thread so we can search for your stuff and not lose it in this thread.
-
Please remember to stay seated with your arms and legs inside at all times until the ride comes to a complete stop.
Oooh weee, here we go.

Will do. When I post the cooks, I'll start a new one in the cooking section.
