Steel Pizza Oven Build Part 1

I decided to build a semi portable steel pizza oven, loosely inspired by existing commercial products.

Great job!

[@rachellmang-osan9401]

Thanks for posting im also looking another option if not using bricks then stainless steel will do

[@fernandopeino374]

Excellent work, I congratulate you, could you share the plans and measurements to try to do it, thank you very much

[@Herodle]

Top work, mate! Going to follow your design.

[@photofather1]

im by far a fabricator but I do build Hotdog carts. Ive been looking to build a pizza oven so im grabbing different ideas. anyway you can get a Steal Break from Harbor freight for fairly cheep. I use a hand one from their and build around 3 or 4 carts a year for clients and myself.

[@khaleedabdul-azeezedwards9523]

@@photofather1 Please send me your contact information on how to build carts. I deal with youth and prison inmates here in America and I need some type of vocational skill set to teach them. College is not for everyone. So if its possible that you can point me in the right direction as to how to get them started it would be greatly appreciated. I need something to motivate them and hopefully in the process keep them off of the streets and out of trouble. Thanks.

@@khaleedabdul-azeezedwards9523 Oh my pleasure, [e-mail] It is a really easy design a way ANYONE can make money or even learn a trade,

[@elenamorales7420]

Un trabajo de 10 puntos! Felicitaciones luce excelente. Utilizando un escalimetro creo que logré dibujar un buen plano para un horno sacando las dimensiones y ángulos que presentan los hornos ooni. Quiero si la salud y el presupuesto me lo permiten hacer una Food Trike para la venta de pizza y para eso debo fabricar un horno muy parecido al que usted perfectamente fabricó, solo que la parte exterior y la chimenea utilizaría una lámina de stainless steel y un tubo de aluminio para ahorrarme el trabajo del acabado. Saludos desde Somaliazuela y gracias por el aporte que hace con sus vídeos!

Hi, thanks for posting, I really found your vid useful. I've been thinking of making a pizza oven for the garden this year. I have been using a hexagonal shaped stove/burner in 6mm chequerplate for 4 years. My main concern is insulation. My stove eats fuel and kicks out heat. I've noticed whilst roasting/smoking joints I'm constantly trying to manage heat output... Shit, I wrote that then you discuss insulation.. Of course it's fundamental to using for cooking. Thanks, kind regards

[@Luisfelesan]

I am also building mine. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpyWemN_etKIh6c

[@bigdogscooby2029]

Really interested watch mate did you have the drawings for the folding available

[@GonzaGarciaV]

Hi! Thanxs for sharing this!! It's great! Have u drawing to share?

[@saipierre5533]

Hi there, can i use stainless steel? Can it stand high temperature?

[@PetesShredder]

You can, but it will be much more prone to warping, and it costs a lot more.

[@rafasp1]

Hi i copyed your design but i'm having some trouble, when the steel was geting really hot, it started to drop the mill scale on the oven brick floor, so i removed it with white vinegar. After that, i used the oven again with no mill scale but when the oven gets really hot the steel start forming mill scale again. By the way i'm using a bbq burner gas setup, the pizzas come out outstanding. Thanks for your help. Regards. If you give me an email, i send you some photos.

[@renecardoza9048]

Do you solve your problem? I have the exactly same problem

[@rafasp1]

​@@renecardoza9048 I think the problem was that i used thin sheet metal, 1,5mm and it's get to hot. I solved the problem putting inside the oven a new layer of stainless steel sheet 1mm because other comercials oven like the ooni used 1mm stainles steel sheet. I think stainles steel stand better the heat because is more harder. I hope i wont get the same problem with stainless in the future. Another solution will be to use a thicker sheet.

[@Apple-Bay]

love it

[@rodrigoternengo9978]

Nice work! Dou you know why all people use stainless stell for build this ovens even though it is much more expensive? I want to build in argentina and and I plan to do an interior tile

[@random-kc8gx]

Do you think a 15 Guage sheet would be good with enough insulation say 2 inches above and an inch thick stone at bottom enough?

[@PetesShredder]

I’m not too familiar with gauge sizes but it looks like 1.7mm which I’d say is too thin. I don’t think it would retain enough heat

[@random-kc8gx]

@@PetesShredder Thanks! Just trying to perfect the preheat time. The more mass the longer it's gona take although the better it may cook. I'm just trying to understand what uuni is doing! BTW great project!

[@akselsa112]

Hey Pete. Just out of curiosity... did uou have any problems with warping or expansion while using it? I'd love to do similar thing a bit larger and with perlite insulation coat... just wandering if it ever coused you any problems?

[@hoarp001]

akselsa112 no, never had a problem with mild steel warping

[@akselsa112]

@@hoarp001 thank you.

[@akselsa112]

@@hoarp001 is there anything you would change in the design after using it for so long?? (Eg. Height, width etc)

[@hoarp001]

akselsa112 yes, higher ceiling. The flames lick over the top too close. I’d probably lift the ceiling up 3-4 inches

[@mohamedl1423]

Hello Pete. Really love what you shared here. I've added this video to my play list for a long time waiting for my courage to build up and take on this project with little experience I have. Would you mind sharing your Plans if you still have them and if I can make contact with you via E-Mail and you don't mind sharing you address, would be very grateful.

[@ShopperPlug]

Where can I buy the steel sheet? Just one piece of sheet metal costs as much as a 16" commercial fully built, might as well just buy from the company than build one.

[@PetesShredder]

I just went to a commercial fabrication place with a drawing and paid them cash to cut the parts out. You'd never be able to build this without the help of a place like that as you need to bend it somehow. I guess steel prices go up and down, but when I built this oven, I paid probably about 150 quid for all the metal. You Could buy an ooni for a similar cost, but it won't be anywhere near as good as a big heavy insulated oven with an inch thick stone floor

[@ShopperPlug]

@@PetesShredder Very interesting, £150 quid is about $203. If you ask me $203 is a lot cheaper than a $600 16” Ooni. Using a thicker sheet metal will always be better than thin metal Ooni stuff. I just checked a popular US website for metal sheet prices, they are charging almost $500 for 12 inch x 10 foot stainless steel sheet metal with a 1/8th inch thickness. I guess I will need to talk with some local metal workers… but it will be pointless for me since I live in a prime city and everything here will be super super expensive and they will charge me $1,000 to have basic parts precut and ready, since labor and parts is expensive. I’m always jealous to see people on KZbin are able to make these effective portable pizza ovens for 1/3rd the cost of an Ooni.

Hello, from what kind of steel you builded this oven? Im asking about type. I want to start build this one, but Im not sure if heat of fire can distort or twist the shape of steel..

[@PetesShredder]

Bartłomiej Rusinek it’s just mild, seems to handle it ok

[@bartomiejrusinek7543]

@@PetesShredder thanks. Lets try.. :)

[@braianramos4048]

does it need to be season to avoid rust or its inox? how often?

[@PetesShredder]

Yeah, doesn't hurt to oil it. Paint will likely burn off. The mill scale helps protect it ok areas that haven't been ground or welded

[@gabrieleorio86]

Which type of steel did you use ? Is it heat resistant ? The coating won't melt ?

[@PetesShredder]

Gabriele Orio it’s just mild steel, and there isn’t a coating. High temp bbq Paint would survive on the outside shell, if only gets to about 100c

[@gabrieleorio86]

And what temperature can it withstand ?

[@PetesShredder]

Gabriele Orio high temperature

[@Hix066]

Like the plan. Where did you get your metal folded? I'm UK based, so keen to find out.

[@PetesShredder]

Hix066 CHW in Wycombe but tragically about six months after this video, they went bust. Any metal fabrication place will do it but it takes a while to find somewhere that will do cash jobs whilst you wait. RIP CHW 😭

Hello how are you? I loved your tutorial, I congratulate you. You can send me the plan so I can build it myself. Thank you very much already .

[@PetesShredder]

Hmm, there isn't really a plan, these videos are the plans.

[@gojo197zero]

I'm sure he was speaking of your designs files done on autocad.

[@PetesShredder]

Ah, yes. The finished oven is very different from the model though. I did a lot of improvisation

[@gojo197zero]

For a build that has been made very technical with the 3D printed guide and so on, your work area is a mess. As for using the plasma cutter, there is no need for the excessive pushing. Your guide looked to be perfectly fitted ( although 2mm seemed a bit much) had you held your cutter straight there would be no need for grease. Don't mean to sound like an ass, your build was great. very well done.

[@s-om6962]

Over thinking the whole thing..3d printing ?..unnecessary overkill....

[@user-wq4jh7df3m]

Do you think if you commercialized this product it would infringe on oonis copyright ownership ?

[@PetesShredder]

No, why would there be? I’m not sure they have any protection on the shape, thousands of objects are this shape including other pizza ovens.
