Hi this looks incredible. can you advise how much of the exercise ball actually sits above the board? Also, what size is the oven door?

Hi Claudio, You are quite right, the outside gets quite hot once it has been on for a while, but not unbearably hot. In fact I keep touching the outside as it gives me a feel of when it is ready to put the pizzas in. Some people put some insulation on top of it but I reckon it is only necessary if you make pizzas commercially. For home use, you will only use it to cook 4 to 10 pizzas if you have friend round, so no need. Keep it simple, but the result will be worth it as nothing beats the taste of woodfired pizzas. Good luck and show us the result please. In Pizz We Crust

Hello and thank you for you sharing. By no means am i knocking your build. This build looks to easy to be true. Have you actually made pizza in there? I've seen other builds use glass under the fire stone for insulation and insulation around the dome for heat retention. How hot does it get when fired up? Thanks and waiting patiently for your reply.

@mikellegoff5676

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Mario, The motto is "keep it simple". You could add a lot of insulation on top and underneath, that is true. But if you are going to make 8 to 12 pizzas, you only need it to be hot for 1 hour tops, so why make more complicated than need be. It still goes up to 550 degrees Centigrade + (my infrared heat gun only goes to this and then says it cannot read). The best temperature for pizzas is between 400 and 450 degrees and the cook under 2 minutes. But the oven is nothing, the most important thing is your dough. With the right dough, you can have fab pizzas in your normal oven or on your barby. But that is for another video, hopefully soon. "In Pizz We Crust"

Hi Edouardo, Well it is still quite heavy. We move it last year and need 4 people to help. the vermiculite/cement dôme is not that heavy but the bricks and base are. I suppose you could put a couple of wheels to make it easier to move. I reckon you can probably get to 120-150kg if you work out weight all your material first. Good luck and "In Pizz We Crust"

perlite is cheaper 🤔 any reason you preferred vermiculite

How hot does it get?

Hu so I'm thinking that the hermiculite may may leave particals in your pizza I may be wrong!
