Couple of easy suggestions: Rotate the opening in the firebox to one side so you don't have to reach over the fire to get to the opening. Metal fire tray so you can start the fire then slide it back deeper into the firebox.

And this is why at 10:00 pm on a Friday night, I started to build a pizza oven... (Okay but the exploding oven scene was my favorite)

First, I have seen many Barbecue pits made with cinder blocks so it seem to work good. Second, thanks for showing all ups and downs while constructing your projects; keeps it real because that is exactly what happens when we men build stuff. And thanks for the comedy relief. Gotta a laugh.

The exploding pizza oven animation was hysterical. I too wondered if it was safe. Not just for the exploding concrete, but also if it’s actually “food safe”. It may not matter since the pizza is not on there very long…. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve seen this on KZread, so many cool and different designs, this is a great video, i like that u can make something for a good price and not go and spend the big bucks on. Something like already prepaid pizza ovens, the key to pizza i was told was making sure to have a good high heat to cook the pizza fast, ad hey, who doesn’t love pizza. Another great video, have a great weekend my friends.

After the last two or so years of doommongering it's great to listen to someone with a sense of humour, and happy disposition, lucky family!!! Good luck to you all!

I helped a friend build a Pizza oven once and he had the fire open to the back and the door to the front I asked him about why he did it that way he said because he wanted to. Now I know why he did that. Only took like 20 years but thank you for pointing that out for me. Enjoy your Pizza and you all take care stay safe.

I was about to comment this. Should have made the opening for the fire in the back. Otherwise your hands and knees are getting barbequed trying to interact with where you put the pizza.

Your right about the science when it comes to why concrete can "explodes" when heated too high and for too long. However extremely dry concreate also has it's own problems, it being very brittle. Bricks also have the advantage of being able to contract and expand none uniformly without compromising the structure as a whole (too within reason). This isn't the case for a continuous piece of concrete which will form cracks wherever two sections of different temperatures meet. This is likely why your concrete firepit topper hasn't cracked since it being composed of separate pieces, rather than a continuous ring, allows different parts of it expand and contract as needed like bricks.

Seriously, the comedy on your channel is what drew me in. The part with the ferro rod and the gas lighter had me in stiches. New subscriber to your channel, really enjoying it and love the way you bring a family friendy atmosphere which sets you apart from other channels.

Backing up what you said: Did you know that a sense of humor is a sign of intelligence? You have a sense of humor and so does Haxman!

Oh and I am definitely going to try this before attempting the one made with a barrel. Btw, we do share a love for pizza pie lol. I literally have it days and days in a row and have wanted to build an outside oven like this for years.

I'd suggest investing in one of the smaller rd metal peels with the longer handle. Use the wood one you already have to initially put it in. But the smaller metal peels are perfect for when the crust becomes more rigid with some heat to start rotating the pizza every 20-30 seconds for even heat on it. Also easier to pull the finished pie out with them.

One 180 degree turn halfway in is enough rotation to even out the cooking.

Definitely corn meal over flour especially if you are slow to get it topped (letting kids do it).

This is right up my alley, it will match my brick grill, brick rocket stove and washing machine tub burn pit on cinder blocks. I think I will put this oven on some cinder blocks to just bring it up higher and rotate the opening so I am not reaching over the fire.

Love watching your videos. They always crack me up 😂 Keep them coming!

Very cool. If you put the loader for the pizza on the opposite side of where you put the logs to burn - it might fix those difficulties you were having with the heat trying to get the pizzas in and out.

Dude when u edited in the explosion I was dying of laughter, that was a good one

I have been watching several of your videos and recently subscribed because they're all great. I just finished an outdoor fire pit with gravel, plants, mulch, lights, etc and had the idea to add on a pizza oven extension and my reaction was exactly the same as yours, it's a lot of work that I don't have time for... I saw this design on another channel and found a couple of videos making the same style oven... I really appreciate your efforts and sharing your experience with not only the build, but the supplies used since I'm also in FL and probably will have access to the same supplies... Thanks and I cannot wait to try this oven out myself!!!

A couple things to help out: When using a Ferro rod, hold your knife steady and draw the rod, it is much easier to control. Invest in a long handled metal pizza peel, or use welders gloves with the peel you have. Although it is a lot of work building a cob oven is a great time and activity with kids.

For best results, hold the knife steady, and pull back on the rod. This makes the sparks hit the same place on the lint the whole time, and you don't hit the lint with your knife on the follow through.
