Hi,
This will be an initial review with place holders for full review (and hopefully others can chip in).
I was hesitant to buy over a bank transaction because of scams, however upon research Edil Planet Forni is an established business, so I proceeded to order via my credit union which was cheaper than any bank $40 for the overseas transfer. As soon as I sent via email confirmation of wire transfer, Dario shipped the next day and has remained communicative throughout the whole process! Very satisfied from that point of view. The oven itself came in a overly secure box with foam and lots of insulation! Even so, UPS managed to nick the box right at the bottom to maybe a 1/2 barely visible dent.
UPS had some delays (grrrrrrr ups...)
Initial impressions are:
1. Built is hefty and does not feel cheap at all.
2. Theres goodies in the bag, a small wooden pizza peel and a tshirt!
3. the sicilian brick is about 1 inch thick with insulation on the bottom.
4. There are instructions on how to install which state there has to be a burn in process.
Unfortunately i cant run any other tests since #1 I lack a regulator and #2 I want to make sure everything is assembled correctly. Hopefully in the next 2-3 I clear this up a bit.
