Is that just a paving slabs or can you get fire slabs/heat slabs 🤔🤔

[@CarlosGarcia-tk5du]

I mean they are made out of stone right? Stone is stone just season three crap out of it before use.

[@mariae6942]

Wilburcartwright7678-If you go to restaurant supply houses, you can find the actual fire brick slabs that are used to line professional pizza ovens. They come in large sheets or slabs so you would have to cut it down to size. Years ago my husband and I visited a restaurant supply house here in Ohio where we live. They had a large stack of them and as I remember they were relatively cheap. I kick myself for not having bought any.

Replace the cooking paver with a steel grill and proper refractor bricks or pizza stone. Also have a bigger vent that allows flames into the cooking chamber.

[@KeithMalikova]

@@robinpiccone5923 the best are fire brick . His design is wrong and I’ve tried to tell him but he’s a pig head cheapskate. Look at any decent pizza oven and the fire is ON THE COOKING SURFACE IN THE COOKING CHAMBER . He has the fire under the stone that results in the stone being to hot and burnt botttoms . The chamber not hot enough for proper cooking . For best results you put the fire ON the cooking stone so it heats the cooking surface and the cooking chamber to a high enough temperature for best cooking. Do not follow this guy and his pathetic oven . It doesn’t take anymore work or price to get a design and oven that will perform well.

[@lidiasoares5675]

ingenious!!

[@noyopacific]

Just built one of these too. The nearest "big box" building materials store is over an hour away from us. We got clay bricks and 24x24 concrete pavers for about double what you paid at Home Depot. We also got a third paver to use as a firm base. I've fired ours up twice but still waiting for a pizza peel from Amazon before we cook a pizza. It took me us three hours to get the oven up to temperature. How long did yours take? We have a fire pit near the pizza oven and are using that to pre-burn the firewood to coals and then transfer the coals into the firebox of the pizza oven. This seems to help get it hotter faster and cuts way down on smoke.

[@Slowyourroll25]

Thanks for the comment! It takes ours about 45 minutes to an hour to heat up in the 400° F range. We use bagged wood from publix that is super dry and seems to heat up quick. Have fun with your new oven! Thanks for watching!

@@WYO_Cowboy_Joe thanks for the tips. You must have a different variety of oak than I do. I smoked fish with oak once and it tasted so bad I threw it away. Fortunately we do have red alder which has a pretty mild smoke flavor. BTW, I replaced the 24" square concrete paver between the firebox and cooking chamber with the metal plate from the bottom of an old oven and now it heats up faster.

[@cloudatlasminer478]

@@WYO_Cowboy_Joe getting a fire oven to temp, does take time. And the wood used will determine. Ive cooked for events and at home. The key is knowing what you’re cooking and for how long. Pizza on take 10-15 depending on topping and dough. But how many pizzas are you cooking and for how long. The temp and fire will need to be maintained at 500 and also are you cooking bread? You’ll need a sold door for the oven. However, the wood? Most people I know don’t really enjoy “Smokey” type flavor, they prefer more mellow flavors like Almond, here in California, but Pecan in Mississippi, and cherry in Kansas. Has been my experience. So a hard sweet fruity wood.

I would have put another brick turned sideways or cut a few bricks in half instead of just stacking the bricks with open spaces beneath them. Just seems like it would be more stable to me. Additionally you could build it a bit bigger and put some wood in the actual oven part to really get the temps faster. Just my two cents.

[@MrRemo71]

So these brick hold up to constant heat? I don't need firebrick?

[@Slowyourroll25]

[@THEGLASSMANSWORLD]

I saw another video of this same design the other day and have been contemplating on how to install a rocket stove into this design. I feel the fire directly under the brick will eventually lead to cracking. I know the brick is easy to replace, but the pizza would be ruined. I also feel the fire directly underneath heats up the lower brick way hotter than the upper brick so it won't cook evenly so then you have to lift the pizza up close to the top brick to finish cooking the toppings. Which is why I'm thinking a rocket stove on the backside to vent into the oven will evenly heat the bricks. I'll post a video soon!

Brick in door while heating gets temp up quicker

[@Kune35]

I'd replace the middle brick at the back of the bottom layer (or two of them) with a half brick to get air into the fire from both sides. Would probably get a hotter, cleaner burn (kind of like a rocket stove) that would get your oven up to temperature faster with less smoke. Might also be good to close off the front a bit to encourage more even and faster air flow from both sides.
