Pizza oven build in 8 minutes

Full brick pizza oven build in 8 minutes. This is a faster version of the pizza oven build I have previously uploaded which hopefully will help other people building a pizza oven have some inspiration and pick up some tips on how to do their oven. The full version of this video explains the processes you have to go through to build the perfect pizza oven! #pizzaoven #construction #brickoven

I’ve watched dozens of DIY videos and by far this is the best-looking design. The way the chimney flue wraps back over the dome and topped with an old-world pot spark arrester is just art. The chamfered arch entry is (pizza) chef’s kiss. Well done man.

Just when I thought, "Okay, he's finished," another layer is added until a masterpiece is sitting in front of me. The skill and patience it obviously took is just impressive.

Thanks so much, yes it was a lovely project and I’m glad the customer took their time to source nice reclaimed materials!

[@VinnyGjokaj]

I’ve built 3 of these ovens over the years and there is a million steps, it’s over whelming, when people ask is it DIY friendly? I say no, from knowing where to source materials to the actual time it takes. Just for the oven it takes about 40/50 hours to make, let alone the stand, and everything else associated with it.

[@SamDaviesBuilder]

@@VinnyGjokaj I agree with you there, it is very time consuming. But I’ve seen some quite good DIY ovens built (and some bad ones). It’s a very satisfying thing to do though

Of the made-by-a-mason pizza ovens, this is definitely the best on utube. @Sam, any chance of a listing of the key materials and the mortar mixes ?

Hi, thank you! I used the following materials....(some I have't got quantities on as customer supplied materials): Firebricks Ceramic blanket Ceramic fire board for underneath the base bricks Mortar mix: Silica sand, fondu cement and fireclay mixed together. I think it was 3 sand, 1 fireclay and 1 cement Mesh wire to go on top of ceramic blanket Perlite mixed with cement as first coat on top of ceramic blanket Another coat of perlite with cement but this time with a bit of sand too to give a finer finish Any other questions please ask away!

[@MrKingbesh]

Great job .my advice to anyone building an oven is to make your chimney flow as big as possible so the smoke escapes from it rather than from the front

[@SamDaviesBuilder]

Thanks for the tips! We did actually open up the chimney a bit more in the arch with the grinder as we found the smoke came out of the front a bit as you said

[@hansonlife9465]

Nice build. With that dome height, you have any issues with getting enough heat from above? I see a lot of Italian ovens that have a squashed shape inside so the top is much lower. Trying to learn what kind of difference that makes.

[@SamDaviesBuilder]

I think when I do one again I will do a squashed shape like you say on top as from what I have now seen that seems to be the better way to maximise the heat in the oven.

[@SainiBadwalUSA]

Amazing build I want to build one but have no space in the corner anywhere so I build one on wheels with barrel also insulated. I use venturi burner (DIY)

[@MrSommerrae]

Could you tell me what tool it is that you’re using for the brick laying, the arm/compass looking thing…?

[@SamDaviesBuilder]

The tool I use is a trolley wheel that can rotate, you take the wheel off and then just bolt a piece of wood onto it. You can then mount the the trolley wheel in the centre of your oven floor. Something like this wheel: www.screwfix.com/p/select-heavy-duty-swivel-castor-40mm/6748P?kpid=6748P&ds_rl=1244072&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9deiBhC1ARIsAHLjR2AhqSPeAMhF_Fl1EdvmfjgnEQQKIoX8S1cCyov0Ovhex8K57PFRrW8aAgB-EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Also you’d have a bracket on the end of the piece of wood so the brick can sit against it

Oh ok! I get it! Thank you so much!

[@Pedro-rn8vs]

Hi! There is a styrofoam under the brick layer? Its not moving or melting under the fire?

[@Pedro-rn8vs]

Polystyrene melting at 210-250 C degrees. Maybe before it had some pollution of chemicals. Didn't the pizza taste weird? I'm not being mean, just wondering.

[@SamDaviesBuilder]

Hi, no that’s a ceramic insulation board. It’s got a very high temperature resistance!

Not sure how many fire bricks. I will be doing one in the future with a list of all materials. On this one I used silica sand and fondu cement to fix the bricks together, ceramic blanket as insulation, perlite mixed with cement as the layer on top of the insulation and then sand and cement render as the final smooth coat. Hope this helps!
