#35 How we build a pizza oven from clay (no cement)

[@xXGENDAMAGEXx]

Really not to take anything away from other episodes. But this was one of the most fulfilling and satisfying ones you’ve done. I’m so happy for your progress. And the pizza oven is a top 10 achievement.

[@pedrofigueiredo4654]

Very happy to see young people doing stuff using ancient and eco techniques . First time i see a oven made of clay and using "hand tools" .Very nice. And now you can make pizza and your own bread also. Keep on

[@stestrupholm-dyrkjorden]

Yes if you disregard the fire tiles, metal chimney, and steel base that was welded :)

[@mrrberger]

TIP: to avoid snagging the pizza paddle on the tile edges when scooping a pizza out, lay the floor tiles on a diagonal to door entry.

[@alexandrevaliquette1941]

That's a great tip indeed!

[@peterdewolff6650]

too late ;)

For me you are on time! Thankss

[@william44660]

It's always encouraging to see how adaptable young people still are.

[@pedroveloso9707]

As i now, that oven is normally close, do not have a Center hole (chimney) ,it need to preserve the heat inside to transfer to walls, them we remove rest os brass, and make bread and meal... a big one, takes 5 hours to get very hot, and last for 24h in working order. i thing the pipe will lost a lot of heat, a curious thing is that in the beginner of fire, the walls start very black, and passing the hours of heating, they start to get white and clean ( were we know that is starting to be good to cook. never the less, a good job done. cheers, sorry for the bad English :)

[@chrisj49300]

What an awesome group of friends. I laughed out loud when you put flour on the shovel, but oh that pizza looked good

[@warrenrines3924]

I have watched at least 50 videos on building a pizza oven and yours is incredible. I have everything I need to build one like yours and you can be so creative with the tile shape. I love this video and will be building my wife the pizza oven of her dreams. Thank me you

[@iaintaylor5585]

When I was a student I worked in a brick factory one summer. The start of this vlog brought back some terrible memories!

[@jeffputman8242]

Tile like inside the oven could replace your board you were using. Very nice Oven. By the way Antler Bone makes a good handle for door as it will stay cool to the touch and not transfer heat.

[@SamMaffs]

Always remember safety sandals, love the progress on this one! Really shows how well you are developing the site and community.

[@TheMeta6]

Safety sandals only work correctly when paired with a safety beer!

[@v0ort]

Awesome stuff! Also have a suggestion for you guys to look into. Grow a bamboo patch wherever you want to mask the highway noise the most. There is a particular satisfying sound coming of swaying bamboo sticks which is just the right amount. Also it grows really fast and is an excellent building material. Some of the bamboo sprouts are also edible. Only thing you need to take care of is making a barrier around the patch so it doesn't wander off.

[@Barbaralee1205]

A friend has a dog kennel behind his house. BIG mistake. The barking was driving them crazy. A row of bamboo solves the problem!!! Who would have thought?!

[@jim_hoon]

Now you’re able to make Pasteis de Nata too. Hope to see a video soon.

[@MooKau_]

oooo.... just got a pizza oven today... gunna have to get a recipe for the tarts now!

[@twestgard2]

Thanks for including the mixing and testing part! For whatever reason, mixing and testing is always glossed over in KZbin videos. Without that, you can’t actually try it yourself. I mean, I guess I could throw things together totally at random, but for that I don’t need instructions and what’s the point anyway? Regardless, thanks for the explanation.

[@andreywagner5046]

Good vibes guys, how much good energy and love went into it, well done.

[@turmoil3161]

Just beautifully to see young people enjoying working the land and making things. Very special

[@Dogwolf12]

I loved seeing you make new memories the most. No matter what happens, you and your friends will treasure those memories forever.

[@brianjohnston9822]

A little tip in building the fire. Start in the door way until you get a small bed of coals, then slide it into the middle. Keeping adding wood until you get the temperature you want. I built one using the Forno Bravo design which was more round than tapered. We cooked a lot of pizzas over the years. I have to admit that we used preformed fire bricks.

[@WravTil]

I used the Forno Bravo (free) plans to build my own oven in Liguria, but I used firebricks and proper cement to make it and lots of insulation both under the bed and over the dome. I suspect the lack of insulation is preventing you getting to 400C as the bricks still had soot on them when you put the pizza in and that burns off when you get to the right temp. Also the interior is too large imo and a funny shape. The internal shape (and the chimney positioning) is important to get a swirl of fresh air feeding the fire and the smoke exiting in the upper layer. A taller, vertical chimney will help with that rather than the horizontal pipe. It's interesting to see what you're doing though and great to see you all working together. Plus any pizza made at home is better than one from the store !

[@brianjohnston9822]

@@WravTil I did exactly the same. I have seen a number of builds, I always recognize the Forno Bravo design.

[@palkiss]

Man I want to visit you all sooo badly!! For like a month. Or a summer. It is so desirable what you are doing! Thank you so much for lettin us be the part of your journey and progress! It really is a pleasure.

i like it that they have their own stations doing their clay stuff haha, they kinda look cute shaping those clays with serious faces hahaha😅

[@tophlaw4274]

I feel this is a great infrastructure addition as it's not only good for making pizzas but works great for baking bread, casseroles, fritatas, & more! It was great to see more faces in the kamp army too! I enjoyed seeing the process involved as well as the interesting tiled pattern which was quite different from the DiY earthen ovens I've seen before. As for the board in front of the oven, perhaps you could try Shou Sugi Ban (Japanese burnt wood + oil treatment that will thoroughly dry the wood & make it fire resistant). As always, looking forward to the next update!

[@mariushegli]

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

[@Esther_In_SoCal]

[@garystewart6093]

Replace the wooden board with ceramic tiles. Heat durable and can be cleaned easy.

[@michellezevenaar]

Love it! You can also make bread in it too! Or make stews or a roast. It's rather versatile.

Using a spirit level as a screed, my dad would have yelled at me for doing that! :P Great job, looks like a good oven. Only tip I have is to never roll pizza dough, always press and stretch :)

A lot of Love ❤️ was put In making the Pizza Oven by Hands, Something to Enjoy 💯🥰🇺🇸

[@Olivia-ev9hk]

An easy way to speed up your tile making for square tiles isnmakena simple mold. It helps you get more uniform thickness for aore even product. You cam just use scrap wood to make a simple square slap your clay in and scrap over the top to remove excess then just lift the mode and boom you have a tile.

[@crislaroza4453]

It’s beautiful. It’s my dream to have one of this I wish my family could built one as well. Thank you so much for sharing

[@MrStanley85]

You should consider building an aquaponics system with raised beds to plant and also growing fish at the same time. I guess the IBC systems are the easiest.

[@100Noddy]

So cool. You guys are making great progress building community.

[@Slowlifebythelake]

Thanks for a great video. I’m planing to build one my self next summer ( been planning for many years, but now i got some good clay up from the ground). Really liked the bricks and the pattern they make, inspired to try that my self. So thanks for sharing, and I will look around on your channel and see what other videos you have, and press the button of course. 😊👍 Love and peace.

[@gene8194]

It's lovely, I always loved to see the how it's made videos. It would be lovely to be there and participate in the building, but it's not always possible. Anyway I am happy to see the team spirit :) It looked a bit like hippies have great time, but in same time I love the level of precisity, the leveling and engineering for future issues. It's a great ballance in my opinion. Keep on doing the good work. Looking forward to see the next adventure :)

[@thesaver999]

I’m building such an oven myself, using clay as well. How long did your oven need to dry by itself before applying fire for the first time?

[@taiikomochiyuurichin1459]

You should have made a mold for the tiles by making out of lumber a U shape. Pack in the clay mixture into the shape, slowly remove it from the mold by tipping it over then using a wire cut through it the depth that you want the tiles. then just let them dry. They will be somewhat the same size.

[@Julia-Julia]

look for an old window sill made of granite or marmor to place it in front of the ovendoor. I would like to give you one, got so many here at home. The problem is that i am from germany, i think its to far away for just a board of stone:P great videos!

[@MooKau_]

[@magiclee9482]

we actually found a gravestone manufacturer close to the property - but we focused on finishing the oven first. There is also a need for a nice wooden roof to protect the oven from rain.. :)

[@paulfitz6614]

The Pizza Police won't be happy with that dough. The secret is prep it 2-3 days before eating and cold ferment. Great video though!

[@MrK823]

I think Italy cried a little when she rolled the dough with a rolling pin. You should use cornflower om your table to spread the dough and on your peel to roll the pizza into the oven.

[@rubysclassiccooking]

Have you ever heard of "The Victorian Farm"? It's a British tv show (now on you tube) It features Ruth Goodman (historian) Peter Ginn and Alex Langlands (archeologists) they live for a year as Victorian farmers. In one of he episodes they work to restore the forge in the village blacksmith's shop where they are living - this entails making hundreds of clay bricks. They used a wooden molds to shape the clay - this meant that each brick was of equal size and thickness. It's interesting to watch and they do authentic Victorian (1800's) hand made things - like baskets and bricks using only hand tools. They are helped by experts in these crafts.
