[@amaurimendez8567]

of sale where?

[@426superbee4]

I was going to build one out of cement. but i looked around on my patio, 👀There set a Weber Kettle and a offset smoker. SO I BACK OUT OF IT > I used pizza pans for my kitchen oven as well . Once these pizza pans are season, they will last for ever. I stand them up next to the stove top wall to display them, and easy to get. There pretty! Easy to used for other things. Like cutting meats on them, and use for a serving trays and things. Cooking biscuits in ect.

[@oldgrumpus]

Very nice! You’re a kindred spirit! Speaking as a retired fabricator myself, I would be making one like yours if I had a shop to use. I made a coffee drum roaster which incorporates similar fabrication. I put a video of the completed project on my channel.

You need pizza stone risers on the floor so the stone heats from the under side aswell.

This looks really nice. Ceramic Fiber, Double sheet Iron. Can we install a Natural gas Injector and a couple of sparkplugs ? Can we work out a commercial plan for something like this ?

[@Luke-pn3dr]

beautifully done.. just, why is the right stone so skewed?

[@c.j.1089]

I happened to get a monster piece of square tubing (18"x6" - 3/8" thick) I was thinking of making an oven out of, wasn't going to bother insulating it with the steel being that thick. My question is about the stone, do you need a stone or can you just throw it right on the steel (provided it's been cleaned and seasoned)?

[@SilverShadow2LWB]

Very nice build. I wish I had just half of your equipment and skill. With all the precision metal work, I'm very surprised that the pizza stone floor didn't align better.

[@customfabricated5687]

Thanks! The steel floor ended up warping slightly. For the next version, I plan to beef up the thickness there and might also add some bracing

[@SilverShadow2LWB]

@@customfabricated5687 Thanks for the reply. Most wood fired full size brick pizza ovens are large. This is to have enough heat reservoir in the surrounding fire brick. It also allowed us to build fires out of larger pieces of wood. One mostly keeps the pizza 8 -12 inches away from the burning wood since one has the luxury of space. This all changes when we want a smaller, often portable option. That is why the modern stainless steel ovens often uses a flame guard to prevent burning of the crust at the closer cramped distances. Ideally the smaller wood ovens should be more rectangular vs square so that the fire could be made either in the back or to the side of the cooking spot. This will also allow one to get the pizza a few more inches away from the burning wood. The other option one has is to go to propane. A narrow linear burner really improves the utility of the oven. One no longer has to baby-sit the wood fire every 15 to 20 minutes and focus more on guests and beverages. One also gets a hotter oven temperature to heat the brick floor to 825 degrees. It is much cleaner without all the ash and soot. One might argue that the wood imparts a smoky flavor or aroma, but I would have to disagree. 60 to 90 seconds of wood flame really doesn't affect the taste at all. I envy your shop and building skills, but if you were to make another oven, just make it 6 to 8 inches longer or wider, and preheat with gas. Mine burns wood and gas simultaneously so I get the best of both worlds. I toss in wood chips only when baking a pie. I can't wait to see more videos. Good luck.

[@rjgomez10]

@@SilverShadow2LWB can you share a pic of your oven?

[@TurboJailer]

Awesome design and great job on the build. Your video showed up because I'm researching building one myself. What made you choose such a thick metal to build it out of?

[@customfabricated5687]

Thanks! I also build smoker pits and I use a similar thickness of metal for those as well. The thicker material works well for heat retention

[@zacharytuttle5618]

[@avihaimel]

Hi, excellent video! ... did your design account for metal expansion? .. was that an issue when using the oven?

[@davidlee50]

Does the oven floor need more insulation like fire brick under the floor to keep the heat in?

[@Magesandrogue]

Cool video, I understand why those ooni oven cost so much. How come the pizza stone seem uneven? Cheers

[@kaafituinukuafe3226]

Looks great and looks like it would be easy to hook up a propane on the side instead of using wood . You're constantly adding wood to stay on top of that heat 750' F and up. Ooni's oven aren't insulated except their last one. The bottom of the door should have been level to the stone and it should have a 4" metal overlap outside for easy rotating of the pizzas.

[@customfabricated5687]

That’s my plan! Just need to find the time to do it

[@kiwiinaustria]

@@customfabricated5687 i'm sure if you dropped that stone down and kitted the whole floor with stone the metal wouldn't warp, we built a large Grill/fire pit for burning large logs and we had to go to 8mm for the plate to stop it warping.

[@artsabound7627]

very nice build and nicely equipped shop . Looks like a carbon steel build , what lifespan do you give it ? I find carbon steel is great for smokers but the high temp of a Naples style pizza oven destroyed my oven in short order. Now I'm building one with 12 gauge 304 stainless.

[@customfabricated5687]

Thanks! Yes it is carbon steel and has held up just fine for me so far. No significant corrosion yet. At this rate I expect it to last many years (we’ll over 10+)

[@kiwiinaustria]

beware of stainless warping, at those temperatures the warp is phenomonal!
