I like the metal frame you built under it. That's groovy.

FINALLY someone who DOESN’T put the reo/mesh on the bottom of the concrete. Good build.

Dude ! That look at 5:30 says it all ! No word needed ! Greeting's from France !!

Wow! That came out great! Thanks for sharing.

The great idea of the oven is in the simplicity of the preparation. And receiving a quality oven. Thank you very much

Brilliant job. Thanks for sharing.

Badass, mate. I’m going to definitely apply a lot of these ideas into my own oven.

I think ill be basing my build off yours.. best video yet.. some great ideas right here!

Spectacular, and I'm a pro concrete guy. Your pizza looked fabulous as well. Keep up the good work!

Really nice job. Well done.

Looks like you have been sitting back and studying other builds like me before taking the plunge.

For a business it is definitely worth investing more in the materials to make something that holds the heat for longer, this style of oven is good for a family bbq with half a dozen pizzas, but looses the heat quickly, a serious pizza oven will stay hot all day without having to constantly add fuel

@@rmlabdullayev The main reason for building a pizza oven is the taste, which is from the wood fire, the design is to accommodate a wood fire and get it hot enough to cook a pizza in 90 seconds. If you are considering natural gas then a decent gas oven will work fine (probably much better) than trying to make one, and be cheaper than building a commercial grade pizza oven.

5:19 tastes like hard work! Great job, great video. Thanks

Smart move making the base first making use of the same plywood, smarter move moulding the chicken wire beforehand, saving the torture of trying to mould it on to the wet mix, not to mention the recessed fire brick on the base etc. I'm going to take some of your idea's!

A pizza oven is totally on my list, though I imagine mine is not going to be nearly as nice of a build. 😂 Was afraid the exercise ball was going to be sacrificial. Glad to see that you had as game plan to recover it. And that pizza looked so good. I managed to make a stove top pizza with biscuit dough the other day by flipping the dough partway through cooking and then topping it, but I'll be glad when I have a properly yeasted dough and wood fired goodness. Or just any oven at this point. I never realized how much I would miss the ability to bake.

Thanks 😊 I usually start a fire about an hour before hand to get some coals. I used general purpose cement which Im pretty sure is the same as Portland and it's still standing. This is a very cheap way to build a pizza oven. My cost in materials was around $300 (a proper oven would be more like $1300) There is lots of things you can do to produce a better oven but the price goes up. I haven't heard of adding alum, maybe it would be a better way to do it?

@couldyoucook3085

3 жыл бұрын

Inside the dome would be about 40cm. Total height outside including base and render would be about 58cm? It's purely a case of what size ball you use, how thick you want to go with your walls, whether you use insulation blanket etc. I went with this size simply because of the size of timber board I had to use for the mold.

you need to to have clay as ceramic last longer under heat cement mix with vermiculite or glass mix will not last

Does anyone know why they only put the bricks in the center of the oven? Are those firebricks? I've seen that before

@couldyoucook3085

Yes they are firebricks. It's for cost. This build cost about $300. While using more firebricks would make a better oven, when I built this in peak covid it was $8 per brick. Also in my case it was for weight due to the kind of stand I've made. Bricks in the middle means it's a hot cooking surface.
