Hello from Edinburgh

[themightysimmonite]

Just about to embark on a WFO journey.
New Patio installed including foundations for block work ready for WFO.

I'm now on the look out for a smallish modular oven and have a couple of options.
First is the Vitcas Brick Oven shop.vitcas.com/brick-oven-outdoor-pizza-oven-vitcas-s-712-p.asp 

The second option is the full deluxe kit from ukoutdoorliving www.ukoutdoorliving.co.uk/#!wood-fired-ovens/cihc
I do have a concern about this one as the website has no contact details for the vendor. Although this company has been recommended elsewhere on this website I have a healthy scepticism for website that are less than forthcoming with ths type of info. Also the eBay shop for this vendor shows no items for sale.

Firstly, can anyone shed any light on ukoutdoorliving? Are they still trading and can the website be trusted?
Secondly, what are peoples opinions of the Vitcas Brick Oven?
Finally, are there any other modular ovens/suppliers I should be considering?

Once bought I will post updates and photos of the build as it progresses.

Thanks in advance for any assistance/advice offered.

Hopefully someone will be able to answer your questions.

So here's an update on my WFO adventure.
I went for the new modular oven from Ukoutdoorliving www.ukoutdoorliving.co.uk/#!product-page/c1400/720f2c30-0600-60df-8b2a-2a3a4babfa87
It cost just over £625 plus £55 delivery. The kit includes everything for the build apart from the base and the render.
Communication from Luke Vanni the proprietor and the delivery company has been first class.
Of the pallet everything looks well made and fits together really easily.
The only minor gripe I would have relates to the flue. The one supplied with the kit is just a simple black cast iron tube with no cowl or damper. I was after something with these features plus was a bit more aesthetically pleasing so I plumped for one from the Vitcas website shop.vitcas.com/chimney-flue-with-cowl-and-damper-903-p.asp
I got to say this fits the bill but is way over-priced. If Ukoutdoorliving can improve their supplied kit flue they would have the near perfect WFO kit.
If I get time later today I'll post pictures of the kit component parts.
Then I'll start a post once the build gets underway.
