Bricklayers Honest review: very good looking pizza oven but if your building this in the UK do not use adhesive to glue cilinder blocks together cold and rainy climate with weaken it, and likely cause it to tip over, mortar and concrete blocks will do just fine and be a lot cheaper, secondly make sure you add ceramic fibre insulation under the fire bricks and around them, this oven in the video will have to milk through wood in order to get the temperature high enough to make a pizza so always add proper insulation, I’d recommend making a door for the front too as this isn’t a dome design oven and can’t contain the heat as well. Other than that very nice design 🔥

[@sbenn6917]

Yeah, that's not going to end well.

[@mattw.3771]

Very impressed can I ask what was the Dimensions for that pizza oven cheers

[@seangillespie4601]

Thorough, but without fluff, faff, or vamping. Kudos 👍

[@ebencadotte8515]

Thank you for your video and design. It inspired me to build one last summer in my back yard with a few changes due to my climate in Ontario. Works great!! We found if you light charcoal as your foundation and add wood to that it speeds up the heating time.

This is so freaking cool! As soon as my husband is healed up from his surgery he is going to be outside making me one of these. Awesome can't wait to eat pizza from one of these and any time I want to !!! YUM

Just found many great ideas from this video on how I can finish my rocket stove/pizza oven/sand battery combination.

[@frankautierijr1546]

Being that I am a journeyman bricklayer I can see multiple flaws. I'm not arguing dome vs tunnel design. First off it would be so much easier to just build everything with mortar. Using glue to hold the blocks together might work if you live in Florida. Any climate that sees cold weather and snow may want to think this out. Way over built with the 6 inch concrete pad 4 inches is plenty. Then using a grout bag to mortar bricks together... Lots of voids and especially under the fire brick. This thing is likely to fall apart

[@jose.utah.realestate]

You should make video on properly making the brick oven

[@gamercs21]

@@jose.utah.realestate There are plenty of them showing tried and true methods of creating a long lasting oven. I think the biggest problem here is that they built it for a homeowner, not for themselves. They won't have to look at it and eventually see the flaws, poor performance, etc.

[@sickler3044]

Looks great but probably needs more than beginner level skill. Professional’s get paid as much for knowledge as well as labor.

[@gnome2024]

Nice build. Looks much easier than the domed ones people try to build. Would love to see a follow up video making a pizza inside. Just needs a door which would make for a great video too.

[@StarBuck411]

Ya, how is that going to work without the front end closed off some to keep the heat in? Also, the other comment here about an insulating layer around the oven is probably the better way to do it. Nice work, hope it works.

[@OwODonut87]

[@SeainStone777]

SB : "my brother, my dad and I built..."

[@nhojcam]

cool build, but there is a problem with the design of the arch form. it should be shaped (curved) in such a way at the front, so that the the heat is directed back down towards the entrance. no doubt, it will cook a great pizza though, but you will want to add a door.

[@zarakikenpachi1238]

Can you further explain what floor mix mortar is ? Maybe attach a link ? Love the content !!

[@VinnyGjokaj]

It’s refractory mortar. A brand is Heatstop, but it’s essentially standard brick mortar with alumina in it to give it better heat handling capabilities.

[@SainiBadwalUSA]

I made a pizza oven with barrel bricks insulation and a tiles. same as yours but mine is on wheels I also add a DIY Venturi burner to it. look like a one of a kind.

[@Dkazakis84]

Do you have to soak fire bricks prior to installing?

[@davidapp3730]

Nice build. It is based on the Brickwood oven design. I built one like that nearly 10 years ago. It did work but I was not happy with the results I was getting. I added insulation over the arch which did help a little. I then set about designing a dome type oven which I built with help from the Forno Bravo forum. It has a 36" cooking area. Having used both types of oven there is no comparison between them. My dome type oven will retain enough heat after a Friday night pizza cook to do cook bread the following morning with no additional firing.

[@bryangreen8274]

That's very helpful

[@GlockAndARock]

I’m making a temporary brick oven, bought a pizza stone, cnt clay it up cuz I’m moving soon but yall think I need a grill rack under the pizza stone? Or just stone on bricks is fine? The dome is around the stone btw but the stone does rest on the bricks

[@rvickner]

Pros & Cons of this design vs the dome design? I'm planning on building an oven and im 98% sure its going to be a dome. This looks alot easier to build but are the cooking and heat retention properties the same?

[@craftbrewer4032]

this vid is way off base, you are correct, follow the golden ratio that's been used all over Europe

[@charlesmatthews9946]

You know it won't hold heat near as much because there's no insulation between brick layers

[@Blanky889]

I think once the bricks are heated up it'll make a fine pizza.

[@danieldemirdiy]

Attention everyone: never leave your dome and oven floor uninsulated , you will never be able to cook more than 2-3 pizzas with one fire. Your oven floor will get cooler in 30 min while the active fire still exists. I learned the hard way so you shouldn’t. Use 2” calsil boards for your floor and 2 inch ceramic fire blankets for the dome. By the way this type of ovens domes are not efficient as traditional domes because the door openings is too large and bottom of the flu gallery is at the same level as the oven dome so it will suck the entire heat before it heats up the oven floor and dome.

[@spooksterVids]

I followed your advice thank you

[@smileyisi3821]

How many bricks do you use in total?

[@Superlizard73-s9b]

Gorgeous!! I made a pizza oven from clay pots etc. it’s been fine I just want more room. Thank you for your pizza oven. I really love it

[@jasonpaschich538]

Question: could I build something like this on the edge of an existing 4 inch concrete patio? Using the existing patio as my base? Is that going to crack/ruin my patio?

[@danieldemirdiy]

I think you will be fine if your concrete patio is reinforced and has a strong solid clay base.

[@weedmanwestvancouverbc9266]

One thing that affects the efficiency of the oven is how well the fire bricks are insulated. You need to add heat-proof mortar or concrete mix with the added little stainless steel needles to it and vermiculite

[@freddysart4005]

Im thinking of building this plan. Can you tell me how much this cost? Thanks!

[@rogermccaslin5963]

Looks great. Couple of questions. Can you cook directly on those particular bricks? What do you consider "low temperature fires"? Obviously not a rip-roaring conflagration but more than a couple of match sticks and a handful of twigs. I've been scribbling out ideas to build an outdoor kitchen and I'd like a pizza oven in the mix. I'd hate to do all that work and then screw it up by going too hot or not hot enough.

[@Topdawggy]

I thought the same n usually I seen it roaring hot like 600-800f for thin crispy pizza but can also use a pizza stone if not wanting to have a roaring fire but this depends on the size of your pizza oven too. Good luck on your project

[@lloydleach1352]

Looks like if you put a door on front you will need a vent pipe in back for air with a little damper on it to adjust the air flow for heat.

[@dwayneshephard2575]

[@miltondominguez8157]

can clay bricks work instead of fire bricks?

[@AVV_Beats]

Does the capstone need to be made of any specific kind of concrete in order to withstand any heat transfer through the firebricks?

[@VinnyGjokaj]

The most ideal mix would be Refectory castable with standard concrete to give it so longevity, but refectory castable is hard to come by so you could just use standard concrete and use a ceramic fiber board insulation between the fire bricks and concrete capstone, this is the most ideal as it offers insulation

[@charlesmatthews9946]

Should be some type of insulation heat rated ofcourse

[@BeasleyStreet]

Granite!! Thermal shock , not if, but when it will crack, concrete isn't designed for such heat...

[@mikekalish7349]
