Couple of easy suggestions: Rotate the opening in the firebox to one side so you don't have to reach over the fire to get to the opening. Metal fire tray so you can start the fire then slide it back deeper into the firebox.

[@ws4860]

Very good idea!

[@alexhutchins6161]

You know.... that seems so obvious that I wonder why it hasn't been done.

[@bbsal4031]

Yes that sounds good. I did look on Amazon and they have some long handled Pizza peels !

[@MuayThaiTherapy]

There are smart people on KZbin.

[@patrickstallings9613]

how about a pic of the firebox on the side? trying to visualize it

[@thehilltophomestead8249]

And this is why at 10:00 pm on a Friday night, I started to build a pizza oven... (Okay but the exploding oven scene was my favorite)

[@HAXMAN]

😂

[@shaker3459]

I laughed out loud at the lighter. 😂 Such an easy and rewarding project! Great job Haxman!

[@TheShrubRemovalGuy]

Yes the lighter thing was funny.

[@toddshook1765]

First, I have seen many Barbecue pits made with cinder blocks so it seem to work good. Second, thanks for showing all ups and downs while constructing your projects; keeps it real because that is exactly what happens when we men build stuff. And thanks for the comedy relief. Gotta a laugh.

[@RaleighSmoke]

The exploding pizza oven animation was hysterical. I too wondered if it was safe. Not just for the exploding concrete, but also if it’s actually “food safe”. It may not matter since the pizza is not on there very long…. Thanks for sharing!

[@descalf]

I'm pretty sure 450 🔥degrees is going to kill any bacteria that DeetZa may come in contact with...

[@alexandercosta1777]

I’ve seen this on KZbin, so many cool and different designs, this is a great video, i like that u can make something for a good price and not go and spend the big bucks on. Something like already prepaid pizza ovens, the key to pizza i was told was making sure to have a good high heat to cook the pizza fast, ad hey, who doesn’t love pizza. Another great video, have a great weekend my friends.

[@HAXMAN]

I really couldn't believe it worked this well. Thanks, you too!

[@rolandsalazar9562]

I love the comedy of errors throughout this video with the genuine & sincere banter throughout. You are somebody I’d definitely be friends with as your silliness is inline with mine. Cool video and will definitely give it a try. Cheers and God bless 🙏🏼🍕🇺🇸

[@Cockeyed_Den8213]

I helped a friend build a Pizza oven once and he had the fire open to the back and the door to the front I asked him about why he did it that way he said because he wanted to. Now I know why he did that. Only took like 20 years but thank you for pointing that out for me. Enjoy your Pizza and you all take care stay safe.

[@HAXMAN]

Secrets revealed. 😁 Thanks, you too!

[@braddorcas9363]

I was about to comment this. Should have made the opening for the fire in the back. Otherwise your hands and knees are getting barbequed trying to interact with where you put the pizza.

[@Will-bo7kg]

Your right about the science when it comes to why concrete can "explodes" when heated too high and for too long. However extremely dry concreate also has it's own problems, it being very brittle. Bricks also have the advantage of being able to contract and expand none uniformly without compromising the structure as a whole (too within reason). This isn't the case for a continuous piece of concrete which will form cracks wherever two sections of different temperatures meet. This is likely why your concrete firepit topper hasn't cracked since it being composed of separate pieces, rather than a continuous ring, allows different parts of it expand and contract as needed like bricks.

[@bobbyb7112]

Seriously, the comedy on your channel is what drew me in. The part with the ferro rod and the gas lighter had me in stiches. New subscriber to your channel, really enjoying it and love the way you bring a family friendy atmosphere which sets you apart from other channels.

After the last two or so years of doommongering it's great to listen to someone with a sense of humour, and happy disposition, lucky family!!! Good luck to you all!

[@braddorcas9363]

I'd suggest investing in one of the smaller rd metal peels with the longer handle. Use the wood one you already have to initially put it in. But the smaller metal peels are perfect for when the crust becomes more rigid with some heat to start rotating the pizza every 20-30 seconds for even heat on it. Also easier to pull the finished pie out with them.

[@robertborden2666]

One 180 degree turn halfway in is enough rotation to even out the cooking.

[@Unbendable74]

Oh and I am definitely going to try this before attempting the one made with a barrel. Btw, we do share a love for pizza pie lol. I literally have it days and days in a row and have wanted to build an outside oven like this for years.

[@lynnefreeman7687]

I’m so going out to make my pizza oven this weekend!!! Yes yes yes Thank you!!! My grand kids and I are going to enjoy this hack!!!!

[@wilkerfamily1379]

I like using welding gloves when cooking over a fire. Also I also use corn meal on the bottom of the pizza to help it roll of the pizza peel easier. Thanks for the video!

[@robertborden2666]

Definitely corn meal over flour especially if you are slow to get it topped (letting kids do it).

[@MA-mh1vs]

This is right up my alley, it will match my brick grill, brick rocket stove and washing machine tub burn pit on cinder blocks. I think I will put this oven on some cinder blocks to just bring it up higher and rotate the opening so I am not reaching over the fire.

[@javyesquivel8711]

Dude when u edited in the explosion I was dying of laughter, that was a good one

[@christopherm9353]

[@RossMalagarie]

DANG man thanks so much for the idea. I am going to make an outdoor kitchen in 2yrs and now I will add a design somewhat close to this on my cement countertop. THANKS!

[@valasdarkholme6255]

Very cool. If you put the loader for the pizza on the opposite side of where you put the logs to burn - it might fix those difficulties you were having with the heat trying to get the pizzas in and out.

[@RobertoMezquiaJr]

I have been watching several of your videos and recently subscribed because they're all great. I just finished an outdoor fire pit with gravel, plants, mulch, lights, etc and had the idea to add on a pizza oven extension and my reaction was exactly the same as yours, it's a lot of work that I don't have time for... I saw this design on another channel and found a couple of videos making the same style oven... I really appreciate your efforts and sharing your experience with not only the build, but the supplies used since I'm also in FL and probably will have access to the same supplies... Thanks and I cannot wait to try this oven out myself!!!

[@HAXMAN]

Thanks!

[@echtnochnichtda]

We build one too. Pizza peel made from sheet metal and old broom stick. Actually $0 for us because all the materials were just lying around in grandma's garden. Worked perfectly. Great keep it simple holiday experiment.

[@jessel4422]

Hey, I'm no pizza oven expert but I was just thinking maybe you could put the side you put the pizza on the opposite side of the whole for the firewood so you don't burn yourself. Great content as always though! 😁

[@HAXMAN]

Thanks! I don’t think that would work because then you lose the venting system but maybe.

[@darodes]

@@HAXMAN could you vent from the sides somehow?

[@jessel4422]

@@HAXMAN that's a good point, maybe possible to vent to the sides or or have the pizza opening to the side. If you make any alterations I'd love to see a video of what you come up with

I can tell you have done many thing to improve your house My dad and I turned a lake house at the ozarks into a 8 bed room house We turned the garage into 3 bed rooms and built a shed in the front (the back is the lake lol) and a tornado shelter in the basement into a loft with a bed on top and bottom Overall great video and glad I can subscribe

A couple things to help out: When using a Ferro rod, hold your knife steady and draw the rod, it is much easier to control. Invest in a long handled metal pizza peel, or use welders gloves with the peel you have. Although it is a lot of work building a cob oven is a great time and activity with kids. Keep up the great videos!

Wonderful video and helpful step by step instructions. I would like to suggest , make your opening for the oven part in a different direction ( like a 1/4 of a turn type of design). Then the flames are not facing directly towards you. This will prevent the heat from coming at you and be a safer alternative to cooking pizza. Also hopefully this would work, maybe get a type of steel mesh racks (non toxic metal and heat resistance) to stabilize the bricks and then placing pavers on top? That way bricks will stay in place evenly and gain more length on the sides? Thank you sharing. Take care. 👋 😁
