Wood fired pizza oven build
Submitted by scano on Wed, 2014-06-18 09:13
Hi all,
not fishing related but I thought I would ask the question and put the feelers out there for some info on building a wood fired pizza oven.
i was wondering if anyone one on here has had experience building their own or assisting with building one?
or better yet if someone on here builds them for a job?
looking to find out the best options to get one built at a good price and so it will last. It will obviously be outside in the weather most of the time (not under a patio or anything) so bricks and mortar would be the obvious go to.
if anyone can shed some tips, info on prices or just general knowledge on the subject I would appreciate it.
thanks
scano

they're in Balcatta, absolute piece of piss to build, took a day including rendering. Kit has evertything you need except tin foil and render. As part of the deal you also get to go to a cooking demo they hold. I cook everything from bread, pizza, roasts, garlis prawns to bbq in it. Takes about 40 minutes to heat up and cooks pizza in about 3 minutes.
I'd post a photo but sfa idea how ;) happy to email to you tho

Oven
Don't go for a cement dome type they heat up quick but don't retain heat so no good for roasting baking etc.
i built my own used cream clay solids bricks from austral bricks Malaga.
limestone base with concrete slab on top.
refractory cement and rock wool insulation from the Pottery supplies place near Oceanside tackle.
I went with a tunnel type design based it on ones seen in freo think it's toms pizza ovens. But just google and look at different plans.
cost me bout 4-500 all up was a bit of fun and still baking three years later so far.
wish I was fishing

i built my own
i bought the cd from this site http://www.traditionaloven.com/
gives good detail on materials to use. dimensions you need to get good air flow and wood burning.
you can follow the design he supplies or as i did, modify it to suit you space.all his ovens are outdoors
i used limestone blocks to build up the base and then poured a 100mm concrete slab on top.i then lined the slab with
red clay solid bricks.i cut my shape out of wood and used that to hold up my fire brick structure and then put a
clay lining over it.then put a heap of tin foil over it.then i put 100mm lining of cement mixed with pirlite for insulation
over the top of that and finished with a cement render for looks.once it is all set then build a small fire inside and it burns out all the wood.
seems like a lot of work but i can still roast in it 2 days later if i keep the door in.

temperature
mind is about 150 degrees the next morning, in fact have on ocassions finished cooking pizzas put the door one to put the flames out then put a stew or casserole in before bed and pulled it out the next morning. Cooked to perfection!
Do some research and then go for it, best think I've ever done

as keg said the traditional
as keg said the traditional oven web site has plenty of great information and he's on the right track. The concrete kit style are good and easy but don't compare to an insulated brick dome for retaining heat which is the fundamental idea of a wood fired dome oven.
If you have the time do some research and build it yourself, it's great fun. Mine was built with brick, each one cut and laid freehand to form the dome. The refractory is very sticky and forms good suction holding each brick in place so no formwork was required. Insulated with vermiculite and rendered off to finish. There are some key items that need to be followed to produce a good drawing and heating oven such as the dome to door height ratio and the shape itself.
Good fun!

I built an Alfresco Pizza
I built an Alfresco Pizza Oven http://www.alfrescowoodfiredovens.com.au/
took me two days total, it's a concrete model but for the abckyard it's fine but i do know what the boys are talking about the heat getting out but i've never monitored it after cooking. i had a brick base built by someone with far more time and skill than me but i did the rest, good fun all the same.

Cheers for all the info guys
Much appreciated
i might have a crack at building my own from scratch. Worst case if it doesn't work out I can always use the base from it to construct a prefabricated one on top.
some really helpful info attached do that's once again

Lighter coloured bricks are
Lighter coloured bricks are more suited. White clay solid bricks(not the autoclaved Calsil bricks)are best.
You will need some fire clay to mix with some mortar.
You want some fire blanket and chicken wire. Plenty of youtube vids on builds.
