Help me build a pizza oven and grill out of a Heating oil tank!
    #12543045 - 05/11/10 01:26 PM (13 years, 9 months ago)

so heres the deal. I have one of these heating oil tanks, which is commonly converted to a giant grill or pig roaster.


here are a few that are grills.



so yeah, i want mine to be a pizza oven, with fire brick, and really cant seem to figure it out.

essentially, i want to be able to cook as many pizzas in the thing as possible at a single time. It should be either propane, wood, or coal heated, and needs to be as efficient as possible. could 2 levels be built within the tank to expand cooking area, could the lower level be just for grilling meat?

also, as a note on design, i will need to be able to take in, and pull out the pizzas individually, without loosing all of the accumulated heat. most likely i will need several small doors or access points to the cooking area.

anyone have any ideas?

thanks

I'm thinking LP would be the easiest to control temps over a period of time. Converting it would cost a bit though. You'd likely want some sort of convection so that heat is not coming solely from the bottom.
Sounds like a fun project. You could tow it to a gathering and make folks pizza with various toppings. Maybe something like mushrooms.

If you could make the picture expandable that would be great.

Efficiency wise propane is going to be your best bet. But the flavor wont be there I would use coals FTW.

Now do you want to use grates or stone?

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

By the time you line it with brick, you may be better off just building a separate, dedicated brick/clay pizza oven.
Unless there is a reason that you want it portable or something.
There are good designs available on the internet for a pizza oven.
Not to be a buzzkill or anything. I just think that it is enough of a challenge to make a BBQ oven out of those and adding the things that it would take to make a brick oven just may not be feasable.

How long until the pizzas lose the taste of heating oil? Is that an issue?

well, i guess a grate would work just fine, i could make the grates removable, like the pic above.

I do want this to be portable, i'd prefer to be able to either carry it in a truck bed, or strap it to the top of a vehicle. however, putting it on a trailer and towing it is an option.

as for the existing diesel fuel, When i start making the cuts into the metal, i will fill the inside full of wood, and burn it out and or put it in the middle of a bon-fire and get the metal red glowing hot.
in any event, vaporize all of the existing heating oil before use.

Here are some interesting links regarding your project.
I read a few of them but you can take the time and get lost in them as there are many different design's and a lot of advice.
