Brilliant job!, takes a lot of time effort and patience to create something like that. And my mouth is watering....

Can you write the ratio of straw, sand, clay and what else is needed to put. Thanks.

That is a tremendous effort and a tremendous amount of insulation! I bet with all that K-O-wool your oven keeps it's heat for a long time! Thanks for sharing. :0)

Good luck to you. Yes KZread really is for everyone.

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing video....well done! This is a bucket list project for me...one day! I do have 2 questions...At the 7 month mark there are some cracks, would those need to be "patched"? Would this oven be ok without a roof over head? Thanks again, I really enjoyed watching the process.

ARe there cracks inside or outside? I would not build this without some protection from the weather over it. The earthen plaster will just wash away otherwise.

I love this. Do you have plans/material list?

The tesla of ovens? So it catches on fire and then crashes into a pedestrian?

hahaha, I was worried that people might think that. I would have said Cadillac (this is how Mark the builder of the oven described it), but those are horrible huge gas guzzlers and I don't think they're the standard for a good car anymore. Tesla's are kind of the cutting edge of car tech and get much better mileage, even if the self-driving tech has a ways to go and really is unnecessary. The oven does catch fire though, or at least holds fire. Got a better non-car metaphor?

Looks like a 10/10 product. I imagine the only limitation is it can't be moved, though prolly barely anyone ever needs to.

The great thing about something like this is it draws people to it.

What is that white stuff on top of the bottles? Perlite? And why the layer of bottles? Does that insulate significantly compared to just bricks/stone or more cob?

@HardcoreSustainable

That is perlite. The perlite and the bottles provide insulation.

Planning to build one exactly like this Really enjoyed the Video Was tired of seeing all those brick ovens and wanted a mud one Just wanted to know the lifespan of the oven Thanks for the effort

Well, tbh this one has had some issues with the dome. It's not normal, but there was some spalling on the dome since it was built. I think it was from the way the dome layer was being manipulated after being put on. I think it was being pushed around too much and was cracking through while still wet. That led to it drying with cracks. Since that layer didn't have straw, it didn't have anything to tie it together. I wonder if it would be possible to put something like metal wire in the mixture to serve the role of straw. The metal wouldn't burn up though. Other than that I think this kind of oven could last a long time. People have been making these kind of cob ovens forever. And a simpler design would be easier to rebuild if needed after years of use. Natural materials can easily be reused.

Asked cuz of the cracking which you cleared 😂 Btw have started the build will add ceramic wool instead if straw in the last layer Thanks a lot for the advice will follow y’all step by step Just wanted to know the inner diameter and the length and height of the mouth Would be great if you could share those secret measurements 😂😂 The Vedio shows the patience and peace of mind you have attained through sustainable living 😊

So much work and cracks have already appeared, but it's worth it for a few pizzas

Yeah, it is. Hundreds of pizzas made, possibly thousands already.

Is there a reason you wet the sand for the base?

I'm guessing you mean what the fire brick floor of the oven was laid on. I'd guess it's just so it holds its shape better until the bricks are laid and the outer wall of plaster is laid.

Seems like being in Tampa you could have used local sand, but it's still a bad a$$ oven!

I'm pretty sure that what we purchased from a local landscaping company is local. It's the same pink color as all the sand in the ground around. The difference is that it's likely from deeper underground. We needed sharp sand, which is square shaped, while closer to the surface the sand is rounded from being weathered by water and not being under pressure. It's also just not very cost efficient if there is lots of sand around to ship it from across the country.

What an unfortunate waste of a vid. "We taught how to build by turning it into a work shop" You should have added" But we wont share that with you." You did a beautiful job but I watched cuz you certainly implied you were gunna share your knowledge. half an hour lost to the either - which is very wasteful / not sustainable approach. Live and learn maybe next time. Cheers

Yeah, my plan was to have the extended version be a paid online workshop, but it didn't seem worth it. You get free content with no effort and yet you complain. Most videos on you tube are NOT done as workshops and no one assumes they will be. The entire channel called Primitive Technology is just the guy showing stuff and not explaining it and it gets millions of views. People actually prefer to watch videos like this that don't explain what's going on.
