DIY Mortarless Pizza Oven Build

[@erniedelgado6013]

Best job I've seen so far. Congratulations!

This also doubles up as a bomb shelter. Built better than most Aussie homes.

Fantastic build. Thanks for sharing this video.

Great oven in different shapes

[@CaudillPat]

First off, great job! It takes guts to give yourself over to the process of making something like that. I hope you use it often. I hope to have/build one someday and i imagine that Id use it often. Especially in the summer out here in the high desert. Any lessons learned on construction or usage?

[@SuperBeaner2009]

Hello Scott, hey how’s the oven holding up, any cracks?

[@bjmgraphics617]

Your oven is as efficient as a dome oven and it's easier to build especially for a beginner DIY person. I plan to use your design for mine. I just have to convert millimeters to inches.thanks!

[@Ardelanin]

I believe bricks will be roughly the same size, so if you haven't started yet you can probably just count the bricks.

[@mikestorey1609]

Awesome!

[@imustbegettinolder4434]

Thank you. Most helpful. Have you made bread in it?

[@mgarciber1]

I had no idea you could use clay bricks instead of fire bricks. Is it holding good ?

[@CowboyGirl007]

I like your design. Will adopt it but with a few changes; proper firebricks and insulated floor under the firebricks, half dome top instead of the steel bar supports. Insulation wrap under the rendering layer. Regular bricks can explode from the extreme heat. Hope yours holds up. Thanks for posting.

[@Fishyfans123]

Very nice scott, this has given me some ideas thanks for the vid

[@timtravasos2742]

Great build

Fantastic job sir thanks

Nice job.Made with love as your sign indicated. :) How did you place the calcium silicate board under bricks?

Nice

[@Seezor]

Nice build. Foil and insulation beneath the floor would stop the heat loss you're having.

[@mikelahood6147]

Thanks for putting this together, Scott! I'm working on my first oven (inspired by your build) and had a question about your experience with perlite's heat transfer through the ceiling/walls. I did a 5:1 ratio of perlite:portland at 75mm thick around the bricks. I haven't done curing fires yet to test the insulation but I'm wondering if you find the dome/walls to get very hot when cooking or if the perlite does a good job of insulating? I'm worried about the stucco render cracking.

[@nathanmouritz8634]

Hi, how are the house bricks holding up? Any disintegration, and how often do you use it? I’m thinking of doing a very similar build with a firebrick floor. Making the plinth out of a stack of 5 heavy duty hardwood pallets (they take over 2000kg) with a layer of ceramic fibre sheeting. Well done and thanks in advance

[@rubo1964]

I worry about the steel rusting inside the oven.This build could of been done better without steel but arched brick top with fire cement.Done

[@FINN-xm9is]

hey looks amazing, how much did the top pizza oven cost you roughly, I dont need anything as swish on my bottom lol

[@farmingfishingfamilyontari2814]

Thank you

[@joeferraioli9731]

Did you use refractory cement with the vermiculite or was it regular cement? And if you did here did you buy the mix?

[@BreakBeatStu]

Silly question maybe but... do you think a brick oven could be mounted on a wooden frame? I'm thinking a solid sturdy wooden frame with a concrete plinth, then the brick oven... too heavy? too hot despite the concrete plinth? I kinda wanna build a good size outdoor kitchen with units made out of wood and mount a brick oven at one end.

[@BreakBeatStu]

Ps - good job!

[@scottthomson1045]

I'm thinking that you could use a really heavy timber (like railway sleepers) which would have enough strength. You'd just need to make sure you had enough insulation under the floor of the oven so the timber doesn't catch fire.

[@stanheeres3218]

The maximum this would weigh is around 1200# break that down into 4 legs and it means 300# per leg. A 2x4 can handle that in compression so 4 x 4's would easily handle that kind of weight. The key would be to make sure you have plenty horizontal cross members secured well. I fully agree with the insulation comment.

[@Seezor]

BreakBeatStu YES. But you need to build it strong and with good floor insulation. Too weak? It'll just fall over mid build or on its own one day. Not enough insulation? The wood under the floor will scorch and eventually give out our just burn. Answers? 4x4" post for the legs. 2x6"boards everywhere else. Outdoor glue and nuts and bolts keeping it together. Cement backer board on top of the frame maybe 2 sheets. On top of that a layer of heavy duty aluminum foil and an edging of brick with a sand center on top of the foil. The foil will act as a heat reflector helping heat not to transfer through the floor but stay inside your oven. Your floor bricks will go on top of the sand layer. You can use perlite and cement instead of the sand or sand and perlite. If you use sand, tamp it down good, screed and smooth out out flat. Flaws here will transfer to your oven floor. The reason I say sand is because even when it's packed tight it still gives enough to get your floor bricks perfectly aligned. Once you have that part done follow any number of builds on KZbin. Happy pizza.

Very nice! How is it holding up?

[@scottthomson1045]

It's holding up well. It's been going strong for about a year now...

[@mikemagee9156]

@@scottthomson1045 hey Scott nice job. How is the oven holding up 3 years on?

[@AndyJWilcox]

How would you suggest insulating the floor under the bricks? What materials?

[@parg5791]

Glass. Smash as much glass bottles as you can. Place about 1+ inch or more of it. Then cover it up with rock salt. Then lay the brick floor

[@punisherelcastigador6600]

Paulo Gomes i saw video with that kind of insulation, good advice thanks 🙏

[@NoRoads2AllRoads]

just use rockwool. Its cheap

[@tiawatson7042]

great job. what are the dimensions?

[@scottthomson1045]

The internal dimensions are 900x600x350mm

[@TheZGALa]

Does it get hot enough to bake bread?

[@MrMousedude]

a brick oven can get up to 900 degrees F. to bake bread you would actually have to let it cool for a little while after the fire dies down.

[@TheZGALa]

A well built brick oven can reach over 2000 degrees F. :) I am curious about this mortarless build.

[@Abentley1204]

How long did it take you to melt it, and does the vermiculite or concrete need time to cure?

[@choongachangachoongachanga556]

Mistake, metal are prohibited inside, becouse under temperature , metal becomes shift briks.

[@kristinwoods8079]

do you have blue prints or drawn plans for this

[@scottthomson1045]

No sorry, mostly made it up as I went along 😁

[@UrgenthelpwithSubscriptionsHel]

You need a pizza edge. Before building ovens, learn how must look a pizza. Because you have left lot of cheese on your bricks and you didn't shown that in your video. Also, you need to buy a cooking stone. You cannot cook safe on those bricks. You will breake the bricks edge with the pelle shuvel.

[@steffbell4811]

Hey, great build. I’m building a similar oven. Can you tell me how long the vermiculite insulation layer took to cure before you added the render. Also did you have to cover it and/or keep it wet while it cured? Thanks again 👍

[@gerardoaitunes127]

eso mas que un horno es un bunker anti bombas

[@АндрейИванов-э1ю8ь]

Why it is called mortarless?

[@scottthomson1045]

The internal bricks in the oven aren't held together by mortar... they are simply placed on top of each other.

[@paulcrawford1108]

lot of wood to cook a pizza
