I'm feeling that I've very good common sense because I made same barrel oven in 2019 at that time I had not watched any you tube videos regarding making self made pizza oven. Excellent to you and excellent to me to😅❤❤

Thank you! thank you!! thank you!!! You've just given hope to a Newbie (me) backyard DIY oven builder wanna be. I watched tons of videos oven videos, and the work and skill, that goes into making some of the ovens I've seen, makes me want to give up. More so, seeing that my overall skill level is at best comparable to your measuring prowess (lol). I'm getting me a drum tomorrow!

Liked your pizza oven. I like how you just go for it, and make improvements as you build. Your new puppy is cute. Good luck and be safe.

Many Thanks David, we are good here. - eric.

I want to try this but growing up my Dad always told me I was a couple of bricks shy of a oven 😉 Great video!

This is a great idea! I cook on top of the heat source in a fire place setting using fire brick although I lack the roof part which I have to flip the dough once before adding toppings. BUT your idea👌 I would change .. Forget the bottom row add sand instead of the bricks to build a fire on. The second row move down a little and leave that little space on each side to allow heat to rise. Build the fire, let those bricks heat up and cook the pizza on top of the bricks. The heat build up at the top of the barrel will cook the cheese hopefully with a more even heat👌 I'm going to try this....you've got me thinking now!

For the top row, could you space out the bricks and then put a second layer on top to seal up the gaps?

Why were you not in the shop when we built this?

Great video! I wish this was out a couple month ago when I wanted to build my pizza oven. Instead I made a great big mobile cob oven that I just finished on my channel. I am interested how hot the sides and top get. That was why I didnt go this direction, out of fear of some one touching it without thinking. Could you stuff insulation under and over the brick, maybe something on the side to prevent this? Love it! Love the use what you got moto!

Use a second drum for a stand .. cut U shape in top of stand drum . fit oven drum into U shape. cut out metal can be fashioned into short straps ... attach both drums together with straps using self tap sheet metal screws.

Sir happy to see you doing things in this age also. Your plan is perfect God bless you. And hope will see more videos of yours

Great video, you have giving me the confidence to try something new.

I found your channel from drilling into brick but just reviewing your current videos you’re still the same, and you’ve gained a subscriber! Love your videos brother!

Just bend the upper bars to half moon like with the same measurement of holes, so it will give you way more space in the middle.

I enjoyed this video like I'm making the oven and doing correction myself.

That's so cool. Super easy to assemble it looks like.

Sir, I just came across your video. I really like it and you have a great personality. Keep up the good work

To get the height for the holes you could probably make a cardboard template of the profile of the bricks and rebar. If the bricks will stand up, you could arrange them vertically on the cardboard and place some rebar below it. Trace, cut, then hold it up to the front of the barrel. Line it up where the top corners of brick hit the barrel with the template even, then mark the holes where your rebar hits the side, and make some more excellent level lines down the barrel. Hopefully the little bit the rebar settles into the holes will leave enough wiggle room to get the bricks in. Thanks for the excellent content as always! Wishing you and the pups all the best

Just line them bricks up side by side on a level surface and use string to measure. 2 pieces of string one for 5 bricks wide one for 6 or 7. Make sure your bench is level Then for the level use a clear plastic tube full of water to get opposite side level. Its the same methods for level at opposite ends of barrel as opposite sides. Any thicknesses needed just use the actual brick to gauge the height or drop down. suggestion: Use bricks to form an ark up and over underside of barrel after making the base OK this is a year old you probably did this by now all the best you gave me some ideas.

Use a slow speed and a heavy feed when drilling those self-tapping screws. Just a friendly tip.

WONDERFUL! Love your pizza oven using the things you have, and even more, your joy quotient over building one! Wish you were my neighbor!!! :)

That's a neat concept for a easy DIY pizza oven.

Not to worry GF : Just go for it! PS Try placing the fire below the lowest set of bricks instead of in middle back. Next build, place your lowest rack of actual fire bricks at least 4"-5" higher on which your food will sit and fire below - perhaps with very small spaces for flames & heat to reach up... PS use a baker's pizza stone keep your food cleaner, more even heat.

You could lay the bricks on the botton right against the metal for a curved fire liner. That would lower the heat allowing you to lower and only use one course of rebar. Also, you have a grinder so try cutting angles of brick to end fill bothe sides front to back. That will help with draw and convection.

Good info Stewart thx for that. Eric.

You could tilt the both corners of the brick rows. Great info ... thanks for sharing this.

That is super cool - amazing idea

On bottom let the rebar lay in oven, no holes. If to long/high cut shorter. On top measure your 5 brick, then come down the 2-1/2” from top for hole position. You could try leaving a little room in back for heat travel and building fire under bottom bricks. No ash on pizza.

Good to hear Kenneth, thx! Eric.

Question. What if I was to tip the drum on it's side, make a layer (for a lack of a better word) on the bottom of the drum (when tipped on it's side) with whatever high temperature cement stuff you can get, allow to set over about 2 days or however long. Then once the cement has hardened, turn it around so that the then hardened cement is on top and repeat the process on the other side? Off course you might have to put some reinforcing steel through the cement to help hold it. Would that work I wonder?

So whic design gave the best results

I don't understood everything ('cos I'm german) and , yepp, it's not perfect, and "use what you get" is totally right (!) BUT: you did such a friendly presentation, such a smiling video. Great work!

Interesting down and dirty build. A couple suggestions: before you start drilling into the barrel flip it over so the solid end is a level surface. Stan’s f bricks up on edge and snug them to the outer lip. Add a piece of rebar above or below and mark vertical lines where the holes should be placed. When you orient your bricks on the top row against the back omit the center bricks to allow smoke to rise above the layer of bricks. Use your grinder to cut / slice / carve a hole to place a length of pipe up for a chimney out the back. You could do the same on the bottom row of bricks too if you were going to maintain a fire under the bottom bricks or at least channel combustion air to the back of the barrel to maintain your fire. If yo have sufficient extra bricks line the sides with one or two additional layers of brick to increase thermal mass. 4-5 bricks could be placed flat across the back to maintain heat and protect the metal. Thanks for sharing this video. Wishing you and your family peace, health and happiness as the pandemic continues to evolve. Greetings from NE Ohio. Cheers.

It's good for the heat flow at both sides.

Enjoyable video. Fun to watch the mad scientist at work!

Would it cool the pizza as well if you put it on the top row of brick

Great idea , and damn very economical ... I have a suggestion , you can grind the bricks on left and right most lines , so they can touch the drum wall . These bricks needed to be ground on the side which is touching the wall . The grinding should be done at a certain angle so they fit well

Is it safe (foodgrade) to use firebrick as the base? Thanks!

Hi from Australia, Tasmania. put the whole thing on a mound and cover it with dirt. I like the bricks top and bottom. The bottom you can just shovel concrete into the bottom. But mate your awesome.

Botom can be made by welding piece up front, and puting sand inside, and fire bricks (slabs better) on top of sand.

Spontaneous construction, ( combustion? ), a fun video, .. I think the barrel needs a flue/chimney, & a door.. Good & quick pizza oven though!

Put a 30gal barrel into a 50gal barrel and fill the space between the barrels evenly with vermiculite to keep it semi-light or you can use sand also as an insulator? Just a little on the heavy side.

Well now I’m hungry for pizza.

Man after my own heart.

How about you cement the bricks the whole way around the inside of the barrel. Put them the whole way around. I think they make bricks in a wedge shape. Then add your legs to the bottom. Put a rack in about the middle to hold the pizza. I think you could even put a small smoke stack on the back and maybe a door. Maybe use some type of stickers, maybe tacked in on the metal to hole the bricks and cement. Just a Thought.

Buenísimo saludos desde Argentina

You should use the barrel lid to close off the front of the oven. Cut a rectangular hole to pass the wood and pizza through. You'll lose less heat out of the front of the oven. When you need to change out bricks or to make cleaning easier, pull the lid back off.

I love it!! That's a pretty clever design. I have watched Tim and Sandra's pizza oven video several times, too. What else can you cook in your pizza oven? Hmmm...

Love your idea, it's simple, less work, quick and nice, most important for me, it's presentable for using it in my future restaurant...!!! 👍💪 I'm just wondering, why not burning fire at the bottom or at both sides (L/R) chimney hole and a door instead of burning at the center and then need to push it to the back later? I'm just sharing ideas and not trying teaching, I'm just so in love with pizza and love making them as well... God bless...

Best instructional video

Find the peak and measure x inches down to top right wholes (measure the for your first/front whole and the last/rear whole) then repeat with the same measurements to the top left.

love your Video !!! especially the Black LAB puppy !!!!!!

Pound the bottom flat then push the sides in to make more of an oval so it’s kind of a more upright oven instead of completely round it’ll give you more headspace. Projects are more fun when there’s a big hammer involved😱😂🇺🇸

Lay out the bricks you'll use for the bottom and the top exactly as they will be installed then using your level hold it to the bricks and mark with a sharpie on the level the exact width of the bottom row then transfer the level (with marks) to the barrel and mark those marks where the bricks will just touch the sides and drill holes for the rebar accordingly. Do the same for the top row. Another option is to cut angles (grinder?) on the bricks that will touch the sides to push them further out.

Yeah, a little fire under the stone would be good. Maybe a few holes drilled near top of back round panel would draw smoke out n not toward the entrance If you get another n turn it open end up n drill holes for rods n grates, you'd have a portable grill, smoker.

You don't need the bottom rack if you just used fire brick,and sand as grout,dry sand is fine if you work it through the cracks with a broom. You'd want to use those bricks throughout if you want it to last.

parabéns vou fazer o meu forno

you definitely need a door otherwise the heat loss is too much. you could also put some bricks at the sides if the space does not get too small. and insulate the bottom and top with material like vermiculite. or just insulate the whole outer side of the barrell with ceramic wool.

@rredd7777

Yeah, Definitely add bricks on the sides, and along the back and maybe even in front along with a door. How long did you heat this sucker up? ( From what I've seen, a lot of these ovens they heat up for hours.) You might even add some brick underneath the first layer of brick. Build up the thermal mass of the oven so it has a big reserve of heat in it. Insulation on the outside and thermal mass on the inside. This is a great idea, I'll have to remember when I eventually get around to making one.

Yes Brad the thermal mass needs improvement. I cooked down the fire for about a half hour. Should have burned it longer to heat up the lower brick for better crust. 😀 Eric.

As the saying goes, "There is no mistake here, only opportunity for improvement".

nice job

Aside from being very heat-safe and heat-reflective, another asset of refractory (fire) brick is that they are incredibly uniform. It is so easy to get very smooth, even oven floors. They also come in many different sizes, such as half height. This would give you more room, and better heat performance. I like this idea. So if I really intended on using it, I would just go for the right material and enjoy it. If not; The only way I can think to make more height (cooking space) would be to remove the back, press the sides of the barrel to create a shape more oval than round. Make a new back that fit and holds the new shape, and enjoy the extra couple of inches up and down at the expense of about an inch or so (about what you were lacking to have the bricks seal the top and bottom) of width. But a cool idea anyway.

Put thin bricks in center and wood on bottom. Also use thin stainless steel half circle over the thin bricks 🧱 and you will get flames roll over the pizza at 900 degrees.
