[@eap8317]

There are a few things that are missing in this pizza construction to make it really efficient. One is that the structure needs to be cured with a first fire before adding the insulation and render layers. Second is that after the chicken wire, a layer of vermiculite concrete needs to be added before the render. In this way you will ensure that your oven will reach the required 400 centigrade to cook a pizza in 1 minute and not waste fuel (wood) unnecessarily.

It’s because there was no heat in the flue to pull the smoke out

[@LOVEMUFFIN_official]

Man Lab is a true gem. One of the all-time greats.

[@LOVEMUFFIN_official]

That having been said, I always felt slightly betrayed by this segment: given that in the first series we were promised that no part of the Man Lab would EVER be re-themed in a Mediterranean style.

[@ya00007]

Captain Idiot or captain shit more like it. Where's the other two idiots or is this a solo destruction venture? Did you notice how thick that pizza was? Awful, horrible pizza. Still, not as thick as him evidently. He reminds me of Neil from the Young Ones. Lol

[@iMadrid11]

Except for the brick pizza oven which cooks a pizza under 1 minute. You have to work fast when you cook at a brick oven at extremely high heat.

[@TheEpicLinkFreeman]

looked like a good thickness to me, you just have poor taste

An oven door made of wood. Genius!

[@juanaltredo2974]

it serves a double purpose: keeps the fire away from people but at the same time if the oven runs out of flames you can push the door a little and it'll do as firewood. Its the literal definition of genius, and those savvy romans never thought of it, which is satisfying thinking you beat the romans at anything
