Pizza oven not so good

published

Fire is great and cooking meat on coals excellent, easy to put together and fits well
However no joy with pizza oven burnt bases and uncooked top have to grill them in the electric oven (what am i doing wrong)?

Purchased in December 2022.

Best outdoor fire ever!

published

We absolutely love our Buschbeck! And we use it more than we thought we would. Everyone who sees it loves it and asks where we bought it from. It’s great for cooking, we make pizza in the pizza oven weekly and love to cook meat and bbq too! When we aren’t cooking we use it often for an outdoor fireplace and it radiates beautiful heat! It’s where we spend time with family just chatting and also entertain guests. Every garden should have a Buschbeck!

Best thing I ever bought for the outdoor area!

published

I love my Bushbeck. I was looking to build a pizza oven but was impressed by the versatility of the Bushbeck.

The pizza oven insert works great, and I love cooking steaks over an open fire. Once the cooking is done, it makes a great fire place for warmth and toasting marshmallows with the kids!

Awesome for cook ups, social gatherings and quiet nights by the flames

published

We installed our Bushbeck in an area
That otherwise would have been nothing more than a regular outdoor entertaining area. The Bushbeck has made it.much more than that. Even though fully outdoor, the bbq heats a large area. We cook a verity of meals from pizza to damper to steaks on the grill. The weather doesn't bother the bbq and cleaning is simple. More than happy with our purchase.

Life saver

published

Through “lockdown” it has been a life saver. We’ve cooked in the camp oven, on the rotisserie, pizza oven, and grills, all beautifully then stoked it up and sat by the heat with a “vino” for ambiance. We Love it. We are the envy of friends and neighbours.

Purchased in November 2022.

We mainly use the pizza insert and it cooks well despite the door breaking within the first few uses.

published

The pizza oven door broke within the first few uses which was disappointing but does not seem to affect the cooking.
I would not say that the fireplace works as an effective heater as you can only feel the warmth if you are standing very close, however this is not the main purpose of the product. We also ordered the grill accessory, but it has been on back order for 6 months. The company did offer a refund after I continually followed it up.

Love this fire place, use it all the time whether it being pizza, bbq or just watching the fir burn .
Easy to assemble and is a quality product .
Only small hassle is the cleaning up, think I’ll buy the stainless grill to make it easier

Worth every cent.

published

Took quite a while to arrive due to Covid etc.
When it arrived I unpacked it and found a damaged part.
Got in touch with Buschbeck and they had the part freighted to my door in under 24hrs (which was impressive because I live in a regional area)
Took 3 guys a full day to carefully get it finished.
Truly excellent addition to our backyard.
The Swiss Army knife of outdoor fireplaces.
Great to have a blazing warming fire without the smoke of a firepit.
Great to be able to cook pizzas as good as a pizza oven
(Takes a few minutes longer though)
I’ve had no cracking issues at all after about 12 months and about 20 uses and that’s been with extremely hot fires using Australian hardwood.

Purchased in September 2020.

Waiting for resolution

published

The front piece of my grill was delivered with gaping holes (not all are pictured) and a large chunk of upward protruding cement that is right in the way of where the food should be placed. So far I have had no luck with this company. Still waiting. We have not yet put it together as we are waiting for a cement slab permit so the accuracy of the pieces in terms of buildability is yet to be determined.

Purchased in November 2021 for $3,750.

Great fireplace. Terrible service!

Be careful when you make the purchase as only a partial delivery will be made & you may have to wait more than 3 months to use it!
I’m STILL waiting for parts of my fireplace to arrive….
Maybe buy a different one

LOVE our Buschbeck

published

Absolutely love our Buschbeck, it's such a great all rounder. Elevates our outdoor space. A great place to gather to warm up, enjoy the fire and roast some marshmallows. The pizza insert is a must, you'll never cook a pizza indoors again after using this!

Questions & Answers

Peter B.
Peter B.asked

We're thinking of a Buschbeck fireplace on our deck, which has a covering above, which would be about 80cm above the top of the firepit. Is this sufficient clearance, or would a flue be necessary? Thanks, Pete.

I am very interested in one of these, but after reading the reviews half of them aren't good. Can you tell me why some have so much trouble getting the pieces to fit together in a nice fit.
This product looks great but not if it turns out to be an used item
