[@gikunda2935]

I love love love the tutorial. The Cat. Love

[@FlomatonFamous]

Thank you! 😊

[@user-jg3xl6mh7o]

nice build, my dad makes these for a living here in italy, from what i see from all americans is that you lay the first row of bricks face down, we always put standing up then mortar and then connect the top with the nottom, for that size you make , shoud take no more than one day to build, but like i say, nice video..

[@FlomatonFamous]

I sure wish I was more experienced. I need to focus and get it completed.

[@jerometappe5931]

I love the cat!

[@FlomatonFamous]

Yea, she thinks she has to be in all the videos lol

[@davesaxon7348]

You have a lot of patience with the cat, I think I would of put him in the house after the second time.😂

[@FlomatonFamous]

Yea, he's my buddy. I've had to lock him up do make other video's lol.

[@52fordguy]

Diggin the helper.

[@FlomatonFamous]

She’s my buddy lol

[@howtodriveatruckwithmiloud]

Cute cat 😺😺

[@chrishurt4023]

Was waiting for the Count laugh. Thank you!! When will the rest of the videos be posted?

[@FlomatonFamous]

Hahahaha, I went 3 months with any work on it, I will be picking back up on it tomorrow, I may have some video in a couple of weeks

[@ttstierwalt2412]

Looking forward to next video...love Turnip the kitty cat 🐱 🐈. Lol 😆... I checked you video and playlist...I didn't see any new video added since this one.

[@FlomatonFamous]

I haven't worked any further on it. I will be turning my focus back on the oven soon. Thanks for watching.

[@free-lancecapetown44]

Hozit From Cape Town,South Africa! Awesome vids ,making my own pizza oven just changing a few things, want to ask a question if you built the teardrop trailer I’m previously viewed vids as I’m going down that pathway soon.😊

[@FlomatonFamous]

Howz things in S. Africa? Yes, that's our trailer. You won't regret building one. It's a lot of fun!

[@hansonlife9465]

Hey there, did you ever make any more videos in this series? I want more! 😊

[@FlomatonFamous]

I haven’t yet. Starting this week I should be picking back up on this project. We will upload the next video in this series as soon as I start it back up. Thanks for watching!

[@user-nf1gc8hr2s]

Indonesia, nyimak !

[@vaporwareproducts]

Thx. Nice video, so the vermiculite is an insulator, what about the fact that you need lots of thermal mass on the bottom to retain the heat for second, third pizzas. Seems like things like calcium silicate board or vermiculite which are both insulators - while will keep the heat in the oven but won’t store the heat for the bottom - one of the most difficult aspects of cooking pizza in a wood fired oven but if you used straight refractory cement (like 6”) you would have the heat battery needed to solve the make up heat equation?

[@denisaubertin5736]

When will the rest of the build be added to this series? Can't wait to see the rest of it.

[@FlomatonFamous]

Hopefully this spring

[@denisaubertin5736]

Ok. I'm excited to see what comes next and how it turns out

[@skillz1855]

That's the life

[@FlomatonFamous]

Yep, I’m enjoying it, thanks for watching

[@mahmoudshuaibi7164]

Nice work, Did you add water to the insulation mix or just dry? Looks soft dry mix to me when spread it! Your answer would help. Thanks

[@FlomatonFamous]

yes, added water

[@user-nk1fs6of1p]

The thin mixture of sand and fire clay, do you mix it water or keep dry to cusion the fire bricks? interesting video sir m inspired.

[@FlomatonFamous]

Mix it with water. Thank you.

[@lemmyk7369]

Cat,the Best😀

[@FlomatonFamous]

Hahaha, thanks

[@DIYGUY1-2-3]

What was the total mix? vermiculite/cement/water...? great job.

[@VinnyGjokaj]

4:1 volume; works good. I did a bag of vermiculite to a half a bag of Portland cement

[@takeitslowhomestead5218]

(Haha!) I also “Count” out loud so I don’t lose track! Thank you to Sesame Street! 🧛‍♂️

[@FlomatonFamous]

I was wondering if anyone caught that lol

[@giovannniiii]

i have Perlite and vermiculite , can i mix this 2 toghetter for the isolation under my bricks ?

[@FlomatonFamous]

Yes, they are interchangeable, you can use them

[@lowspeed2000]

Any disadvantages of just doing an insulation layer on the entire concrete slab? Also I was thinking of doing a 6" layer, yours seems too thin?

[@FlomatonFamous]

No disadvantages at all. The insulation layer is used mostly for retaining heat to keep the oven hot. You don’t have to have an insulation layer at all.

[@lowspeed2000]

@@FlomatonFamous You do if you want to he able to cook other stuff and maximize the heat.

[@FlomatonFamous]

@@lowspeed2000 yep, very true

[@VinnyGjokaj]

Just get two inch ceramic fiber board for the base. It works great, I did a 4” vermiculite insulation base and I haven’t had any issues

[@hottlimited]

👍

[@freddysart4005]

Wheres the dome video??

[@FlomatonFamous]

I did an update a couple months ago. Nothing since then. I’ll be posting a video in the future

[@goaro2007]

Whats the side inside the oven you're building?.

[@FlomatonFamous]

42"

[@giovannniiii]

hi , dit you mix simple cement with Vermiculite ? dit you dont use Refractory cement ? , but normal cement wil crack of the heat !

[@FlomatonFamous]

Yes, simple cement, silicone sand (pool filter sand), fire clay. This should help. www.fornobravo.com/brick-oven-cooking/cooking-surface/

[@VinnyGjokaj]

Refractory cement is just Portland cement with some alumina in it. You can actually get alumina particles pretty easy, but vermiculite and cement is pretty good for this stuff

[@gailpengelly8581]

@@VinnyGjokaj NO WAY! I’ve been trying to get this information for so long. Finally YOU sir have just answered it!! Brilliant advice! Thanks Vinny. Xx

[@michaelplates]

Let the cat be

[@FlomatonFamous]

Hahahaha, she doesn't learn, she right under me everyday.

[@alltha]

How many fire bricks was used

[@FlomatonFamous]

I bought 200 for the whole build.

[@Alpacabowl98]

Americans dont mess around when it comes to their pizza

[@FlomatonFamous]

hahahaha, I just gotta get it finished.

[@musatosun6310]

Devamı nerede. Bitmedimi.

[@FlomatonFamous]

It's coming, sorry for the delay

[@TheTortmad]

Cruelty to the nice little cat. Just throw him down why don't you.

[@FlomatonFamous]

You should have seen her over reacting today when I put her out of the garden lol
