Wilburcartwright7678-If you go to restaurant supply houses, you can find the actual fire brick slabs that are used to line professional pizza ovens. They come in large sheets or slabs so you would have to cut it down to size. Years ago my husband and I visited a restaurant supply house here in Ohio where we live. They had a large stack of them and as I remember they were relatively cheap. I kick myself for not having bought any.

Great and relaxing video that totally convinced me to built one. Thank you. Some cooking hints: heating basil destroys its flavour - I would rather put it on after cooking the pizza. The same goes for mozzarella - if you can lay your hands on fresh buffalo mozza it would be best not to kill it in the oven.

Look at any decent pizza oven and the fire is ON THE COOKING SURFACE IN THE COOKING CHAMBER . He has the fire under the stone that results in the stone being to hot and burnt botttoms . The chamber not hot enough for proper cooking . For best results you put the fire ON the cooking stone so it heats the cooking surface and the cooking chamber to a high enough temperature for best cooking. Do not follow this guy and his pathetic oven . It doesn’t take anymore work or price to get a design and oven that will perform well.

Thank you! We recently moved and have to take it down, but in the 6 months of use we didn’t see any crack!
I saw another video of this same design the other day and have been contemplating on how to install a rocket stove into this design. I feel the fire directly under the brick will eventually lead to cracking. I know the brick is easy to replace, but the pizza would be ruined. I also feel the fire directly underneath heats up the lower brick way hotter than the upper brick so it won't cook evenly so then you have to lift the pizza up close to the top brick to finish cooking the toppings. Which is why I'm thinking a rocket stove on the backside to vent into the oven will evenly heat the bricks. I'll post a video soon!

We get it to about 500 F
Just built one of these too. The nearest "big box" building materials store is over an hour away from us. We got clay bricks and 24x24 concrete pavers for about double what you paid at Home Depot. We also got a third paver to use as a firm base. I've fired ours up twice but still waiting for a pizza peel from Amazon before we cook a pizza. It took me us three hours to get the oven up to temperature. How long did yours take? We have a fire pit near the pizza oven and are using that to pre-burn the firewood to coals and then transfer the coals into the firebox of the pizza oven. This seems to help get it hotter faster and cuts way down on smoke.

@@WYO_Cowboy_Joe getting a fire oven to temp, does take time. And the wood used will determine. Ive cooked for events and at home. The key is knowing what you’re cooking and for how long. Pizza on take 10-15 depending on topping and dough. But how many pizzas are you cooking and for how long. The temp and fire will need to be maintained at 500 and also are you cooking bread? You’ll need a sold door for the oven. However, the wood? Most people I know don’t really enjoy “Smokey” type flavor, they prefer more mellow flavors like Almond, here in California, but Pecan in Mississippi, and cherry in Kansas. Has been my experience. So a hard sweet fruity wood.

Don't even really need too. Can just watch it, and when the bottom is where you want use the peel to hold the pizza up to the top of the oven where all the heat is rising to finish the top how you want it. It's how a lot of woodfire oven pizza joints even do it. You'll see them holding the pie high in the oven on the peel for the last final scorch to the top to catch it up.

I would have put another brick turned sideways or cut a few bricks in half instead of just stacking the bricks with open spaces beneath them. Just seems like it would be more stable to me. Additionally you could build it a bit bigger and put some wood in the actual oven part to really get the temps faster. Just my two cents.
