I need to say that I admire your style first of all! The way you talk, no drama, relaxed, low tone not trying to make a fuss about it.. I've just build my own oven and started to temper it and you advices are of great help. Soon I will be able to cook some food. I hope I will be cooking at least as your worst, that will make me very happy! Please do not stop posting more recepies! Greetings from Romania!

[@TheWoodFiredOvenChef]

Thank you! Great to hear about your oven. I look forward to hearing about all your cooking adventures, I'm sure the food will be fantastic. Clive

[@andrewporfyri559]

Love all your videos - very informative to the finest detail which makes it easy to follow. As a child my family lived in Cyprus and we had a massive wood fired oven built by my father.I have a fond memory of my mother lighting it up every Saturday morning and all the surrounding neighbours would come with their dough to use the oven & have their bread baked for the week.They would all sit in a circle & drink tea or coffee & chat while the bread was being baked, lots of stories & laughter. I now live in Australia & you have inspired me to have a wood fired oven built at my home so hopefully my kids can enjoy the same food & experience as I did.Big Thank you.

[@TheWoodFiredOvenChef]

Thanks for that beautiful bit of history Andrew. You have a great resource for ovens. I would recommend you contact Ben at the Fire Brick Company in Melbourne. They produce really great ovens, and Ben is extremely knowledgeable about his craft. More to come. Clive

Hello, I found your channel while I was doing some research to build my oven. The style of your videos are unique and are loaded with very usefu information. You are very clear to explain and have great ideas for what to prepare in the oven, which I identify as I like to prepare different food on fire. I live in the central part of Cnada so , 5 months of the year we have snow in the ground and very cold; but I have no choice than building the oven outside. Thanks for all the information and your hard work to prepare those videos. Paulo

Hello. Thanks for watching, I'm glad you found the videos useful. If you need more information about my oven then contact me through the website and I can send you more detailed description and the plans. Building a wood fired oven is something you helpfully do only once, so doing a much research as possible will go a long way to prolonging the life of it.

After watching your great videos dozens of times I finally decided (and convinced my wife) to buy an outdoor oven myself. Since we only have a small garden a big brick oven wasn't really possible. So I ordered the Morsø Forno cast iron oven with ceramic tile floor. Really excited trying some of your recepties!

[@TheWoodFiredOvenChef]

You have great intuition, since getting permission from the wife is the first and most important step towards getting a wood fired oven. I look forward to hearing about your cooking adventures. Clive

[@snazzyd8866]

You may not read this two years on, but I had a similar journey that lead me to buying a Morso Forno as well...and a year or so later, the Gozney Dome. We're moving to an old, restored farmhouse on a few acres of land and only one of them can come along...the Morso Forno. It's nowhere near as efficient as the Dome which is a cooking powerhouse, but it has more space, it has styles for miles, and it's just a lot more fun to gather around. That said, I have my ultimate sights on a larger wood oven like Clive's here, but the Morso Forno will always have a home. That and the Black Earth Grills Teppan plancha made by a Hutterite community here in North America.

[@Fjerid]

I have watched so many fire oven video's in the past week. This is the only one that made it to my favorite list ;) The shots, the fitting music, the soothing voice and clear explanation.... all together displays a deep sense of calm and serenity. Bravo!

I understand that special feeling. I have a wood fired tandoor in the garden and it's amazing to use it in a cold dark English winter night. Watching the fire listening to it and feeling so calm and relaxed. Takes cooking to the next level.

I live in New Zealand, have just built a wood fired oven and am really enjoying it. Just started to look into different heat cycles to use it for things other than pizza. I'm also researching the market for starting my own woodfired oven channel.

You really portray how much passion you have for it - it flows naturally. Anyway - well done, this is a fantastic video !!

I also build a clay oven did few basic mistakes my biggest mistake trying to save space on top for more wood storage even it was plenty underneath the oven I didn't build the oven high enough for the size of the door so some heat was escaping as i was heating the oven up second mistake the outer rendered skin cracked up didn't repair it rain got in n one day it collapsed i've used about 20% sharp sand to mix with the clay lots of hay from a farm not far n two bags of vermiculite to keep the heat in the over all in all it was over 6 inches thick door was gut from a 32 mm floor tile so was the door "frame" the flue was in the front but as i closed the door the door was behind the flue so no heat loss there then sealed the door with clay to keep the heat in ONE minute it burned my mate's Pizza but lamp cooked n there for 2 to 3 hours was he taste of heaven with lots of Origani Thyme always used some bay branches they burned almost instantly to give the food a more authentic wood fired taste oven would stay warm till next day after cooking with the door on

[@polygamous1]

@@TheWoodFiredOvenChef thanks, am not sure if i be able to build another clay oven now day at my age But i build one n used it sometimes quite often learning by talking to others, but mine i believe was quite good in energy efficiency i did Not use ANY bricks at all, was on a nice high level with storage for wood under n a frame round it with a poly carbonate roof to keep the rain out did a lot of modifications to it n few mistakes on the way, after the clay died as it was only about 3 inch thick i got a bag of vermiculite for heat insulation n stuck it all over the over n unibond then more clay with straws till i had about 5inches n 6 inches on the roof a skin of rendering kept the elements away but when the rendering cracked n i didn't repair it water got into the clay n it collapsed the door was from an inch n a half garden tile i used to seal round the edges with clay after cooking was over it would keep warm wit the door in position till next day so used to put the next wood in to dry ready for the next time

My father build mine out of stone looks great i really appreciate it i love cooking in it ,its a family thing bring us together the Greek style wood oven is a little bit different but works the same we haven't got a chimney. Sometimes i throw few sticks in it and fire it up not to cook but just to sit in the dark only the fire as light with a cold beer and relax just admiring the oven.

[@TheWoodFiredOvenChef]

Hello Pit Man Thanks for responding to the video. I feel the same way as you about the oven bringing family and friends together. And I agree about that special moment when you can relax and just watch the fire with a glass of your favorite drink (ouzo?). All the best. Clive

[@HB-zr4ep]

Spectacular series Clive! The hours of thought and effort placed into each episode, from the script, to the execution and post-production is evident in each episode that you release. Not to mention the hours you would have put into cultivating your style of cooking and getting to know the intricacies of your oven. I find it particularly amazing that while you create such an amazing and unique experience for your family and fiends, you complement it with a few moments of calmness at the end of the evening while watching the ambers die off. Inspirational stuff mate. What is the soundtrack you've used for your videos... Is it a mandelin? Regards, Hooman from Gold Coast, Australia

[@TheWoodFiredOvenChef]

Thank you! It is time consuming to make each one, but with responses like this it makes it all worthwhile. I think there's a aspirational component to using the oven, and I try to convey that as much as the cooking. The music is Charango by Mark Thomas Hannah.

A very classy presentation, and what a beautiful setup you have. Excellent work. Will definitely look into starting a wood fired oven project in the not so distant future.

Great inspiration, I'm really at the start of building my own in the garden ... after 13 years of dreaming about having one and building one.

[@TheWoodFiredOvenChef]

Excited to hear about your build. I look forward to hearing more. Clive

Really, really well done. You don't just cook in a wood fired oven, every meal is an event, while performing art. It's a fabulous dance of creativity and romance and food.

Very nice video. I really appreciate the comment about the best temperatures to cook, and it really inspires to build one. I loved that he wouldn’t dismiss the modern portable ovens. On a technical note, an oven stores energy (enthalpy if you will) rather than heat. Heat is energy being transferred, so storing heat is a nonsense, (because heating and storing are opposites).

Thank for commenting Gerbo.
