As always, great video.

Glad you enjoyed it

I got a bunch of ceramic fiber board for my hermit hut wood stove. You say the insulation board is to keep the heat from escaping? OK I have thermal mass walls as double wattle clay slip hay and clay daub - so I have a clay wall for thermal mass. So I will cover the OUTSIDE of that clay wall where the stove pipe goes out with the insulation board. Thanks for your inspiration and clarification.

No problems!

may I ask why the 130 and the 105 has a castable heat bank? Please answer the best you can without violating your proprietary info. Thanks!

Good question - the D95 has 50mm of dense refractory (fire brick) making up the oven floor, which is the right amount given the size of the oven dome. The D105 has 75mm of dense refractory (50mm of fire brick + 25mm of castable) as the dome is larger and has greater thermal mass, so we increase the thermal mass in the oven floor to compensate. The D130 is a monster with 100mm of dense refractory in the floor (2 layers of 50mm fire brick tiles) for the same reason, and to extend the heat retained in the oven floor for high capacity pizza cooking.

How can i really waterproof the silica board and layer the full dome to avoid water reaching in if the over gets wet. I live in Canada so winter can freeze everything. I need to waterproof as much as possible as storms will make it wet regardless if in has a roof on top or not.

Every single refractory material on the planet is porous unfortunately, so a Wood Fired Oven is essentially a big sponge waiting to absorb rain-water. If you've built it under a roof with sidings to prevent rain blowing in sideways then that would be a good start, plus you could put a tarpaulin over the oven in the case of a severe storm. Another method you could think about would be to build the oven into an enclosure, so that only the opening of the oven is visible. Then it is a pretty simple matter of making a cover for that opening that wouldn't allow any water through. I'm really glad you're thinking about this issue, because you're absolutely right, water freezing in the oven can cause damage that we want you to avoid. Feel free to give us a call to discuss your build further, we will be happy to help however we can!

I am from Bhutan and I have built my own pizza oven using concrete. Before laying my pizza base, I used mud and used empty bottles as an insulation. Before using fully, I did make a small fire to cure the concrete and mud, which I used as an insulation. However, my pizza oven base doesn’t reach to the 440’C required to cook the pizza base as it should be. Please give me suggestion how I can rectify this problem.

Hi Rinchen - I don't know if you'll ever be able to get to those sort of temperatures in that oven unfortunately. Empty bottles aren't all that good as insulation, but the bigger problem is the concrete. If you reach temperatures over 350C in your oven you will find the concrete will crack and spall significantly. Normal concrete is just not rated to handle high temperatures unfortunately.

How are these brand new December 2021 videos different than the previous set?

Good question! We have put in some new clips trying to cover off on the different mortars and other dry mixes that we use, to minimise confusion when customers start building their kit, as there are quite a lot of materials in each kit!

Do you have to make the suspended slab 5 inches thick?

You could get away with a tiny bit less (I have rounded up), it depends on the reinforcing steel that you're using. Check out our videos on build the stand for more details

Sir can i directly put a Calcium Silicate Board on a normal cemented table ? And sir why is important to use Calcium Silicate Board ?

Yes you can - the Calsil Board is there to reduce the amount of heat being transferred through to the concrete slab from the oven floor bricks.

@@TheFireBrickCo Thank you sir

can I use the split firebricks for the oven floor or do they have to be full?

I would recommend at least 50mm thickness for your oven floor, 25mm will heat up quickly but will also cool down quickly
