Beautiful oven, been pondering building a oven myself but I'm no mason, I'm a fabricator. I thought about making a dome out of steel with two layers and the insulation between but not sure if it would still cook well due to it not retaining the heat as well as the bricks. I would use the firebrick for the floor since i feel that is a must. I haven't been able to find any information on this design anywhere.

I don’t think it would retain heat well but maybe use that shell to as a mold for the brick dome. Would be much easier to build.

Wow! just found your channel and this series, watched it all straight, and subscribed. A few questions if you don’t mind. 1) for the base brick why didn’t you use the 1” thick fire brick, as far as I know it has the same fire rating as the thicker ones? 2) for insulting the oven why didn’t you also go with vermiculite, it’s obviously way cheaper? Thank you, looking forward to your future projects!

@ArtisanMade

2 жыл бұрын

Great questions! 1. Thicker firebrick has more thermal mass which allows it to store more heat and will stay hot longer. If you are making 10 pizzas, that stored heat is what will cook the bottom of it. Also, 1 inch firebrick is more likely to crack. 2 vermiculite does not insulate as well as the fiber blanket, and would need to be 6 inches thick to get close to the same properties.

Very well done project, looking forward to doing a similar one this summer. How did it fare so far over the winter? I live in Minnesota where it has been stupid cold and am concerned about cracking. Are you able to fire the oven in the winter, i grill all winter but that's on a pellet and gas grill. I assume you had to set frost footings as well, we would need to here. Thanks for the excellent content and videos

Thank you! The slab was built with a footing. I haven’t built a roof over this oven yet, so I ended up covering it for the winter. Last time I used it was thanksgiving weekend. I plan on finishing construction this summer. The cold winters shouldn’t be a problem as long as water doesn’t get in and freeze. That is why I shut it down for the winter. I plan on using it next winter for as long as my body can handle the cold.

Awesome video series! Did you need to do any extra curing fires after adding the rendering/mortar/grout? I'd think you'd want to drive out the water content just as slowly with these layers, but the ceramic blanket might slow that process down enough that you don't need to do anything special.

we don't have those kind insulator fabric back then we use glass bottle cut in half and build it around the oven including the bottom of the oven then fill the gap with a sand(silica). then cover it again with fire brick and cement. the layer fire stone bottle+silica sand or iron sand then fire stone again. so the fire brick attach between a glass use a cement.
