Outdoor wood fired pizza oven. 12
#24455674 - 07/03/17 10:19 PM (6 years, 6 months ago) |

I'm building a pizza oven. Here is where I'll post pics as I go. I'll be looking for anybody to throw ideas questions or answers in this thread. Slabs laid support wall are almost done.
I have a trade background but not in bricklaying. What could possibly go wrong.

Updated.

Concrete for the base slab and also for the oven support slab and polished concrete work area.
Old red bricks for the oven and the fire pit.
I'll post hand drawn plans with the next installment. It may make more sense then.

I'd love to see it. I have a brick forewall that needs to come down and I've been thinking about trying to recycle them for a brick oven.
Look forward to seeing how yours comes out.

Very rough sketch of plans. The rest is in my head.
Polished concrete work area with basin. Next to raised pizza oven on hearth with wood storage underneath. Next to a fire pit slash BBQ box.


So far so good. All foundation brickwork done. Next is slab for pizza oven recessed into brick.
After that I'll start working on the finished brickwork across the front....brick arches.....we will see.

Not sure yet. I've actually never used one. Apparently if you build them right they stay hot for 12 hours plus. The plan is to cook pizza then after woods you can throw roasts, slow cooked tagine or crock pot meals in there. Also really good for bread and drying fruits.
I may convert it to a smoker on occasion also.

What are you going to use for a heat resistant lining? I assume you won't be using regular red bricks for that, as they'll be reduced to rubble after a few firings.

After much research and a few valued opinions the old red clay filled bricks should be fine.
Unless you're heating your oven to over 1000 degrees which is kiln like Temps they shouldn't crumble.
I've seen photos of 20 yo PO built with them that are fine.
If you punch whether or not you need proper fire bricks into Google....you will lose a day and be no closer.

It would be easy but expensive for me to get the specialised bricks. All the research I've done leads me to believe that unless using the oven for commercial purposes or for extra High heat they just aren't needed.
There is hardly.going to be any groups out there to go into bat for the secondhand bricks because there's no money in it. I don't just buy stuff because it's been marketed better.
These bricks have a higher than usual clay content have been fired above 1400 which can be told by there absorbency.
I used to be a solid renderer.

I'm thinking unless you're blasting gas in there like a glassblowing shop It will be all right. Too early to be stress on the build. Looking good.
