Not much but I enjoy these DIY projects and could easily make this into a family pizza line.

In recent times there have been many home ovens like the roccbox or ooni which do a really good job of high temp pizza baking, they do a better job than a brick oven.

So how much you think it will cost to build a brick oven plus time and effort ?
Those roccbox/ooni ovens do the same job with less heat up time, space and portable too.

You won’t find any other device hitting 800f.
pizzas baked at high temps 750+ are where the difference between an average pizza vs a great pizza lies

The dome shaped ones radiate heat better imo. Leighton rice has the mortar for ~$550 ish, more than enough to build a 30” dome shaped oven. Use a thin coat (2mm-3mm) to stick bricks together. When the mass is heated properly you can bake bread in it or do a long slow braise. I have a bunch of extra fire bricks left over from a project I was doing; PM me if you’re interested.

Yup local bricks. Buddy of mine in demolition work and got them.

No oven yet I don’t have the time to build anything at the moment, just what I’ve read online when I wanted to build an oven for myself. Tried to build a foundry to do metal casting... didn’t work as well as I’d hoped.

On another note; there’s a couple guides online using a dome shaped mold of sorts and a perlite/vermiculite with concrete to cast an oven. Seems simpler than using bricks.

Not using the bricks gives you that adobe like finish....isn’t that hard to get right? Meaning smooth,even and tidy?

IMHO....that kit from brick oven.com gives away the process,the styrofoam form easy to replicate...and the components locally available.

Frankly it might be cost effective just to surface ship that kit down.

I also prefer the cylinder shape over the dome shape.

cylinder is not the most effective airflow wise
and space efficient

there is a huge amount of study on building these types of ovens
wrt to some height, chimney location and so on
it’s a well studied topic

build it badly and it will not burn efficiently or get up to temps and may even be sooty

i spent a lot of time on this before i ended up building my lpg powered pizza oven

only if i had a dream house big yard i would consider building a pizza oven

lots of folks buy the readymade ones now which are made up of interlocking segments

check out this guy who runs a mobile operation from the back of a pickup
i suspect his oven is one of the smaller modular segmented ones

I'm looking to build a furnace to melt metal but don't know where to get the materials, any help will be appreciated. Trying to find where they fire bricks, ceramic fiber insulation an crucibles.

Question can I use the refractory cement to cast like the cylindrical walls of the furnace?
