DIY Pizza Oven Build - 1 Month Build in 5 MINUTES! 

awesome build. What is the radius of the door? Cheers

how is it holding up?

Yeah good. I don't use it all that often but it's still standing. Hoping to do an update video soon

Haha it was a workout!

Did it make it to 2024? Nice vid 👍🏽

Cheers mate 🍻

That must be from Pizza Shops like Domino's, Pizza Hut etc

The dislike is probably for the horrible background noise.

@@jacquesmertens3369 i have musicians deafness , everything sounds great 😂

shrimp goes on tha barbie

Ah that sucks! Definitely have to build another 🍕

Thanks mate 😊 I thought the stand was what made this build special too, I had the idea and couldn't find anyone who had done it, but it's solid as a rock so very happy with the result. Hope your oven goes well when you do take the plunge!

cut your pieces of metal...take it to a welder. It will be easier if you have it clamped together or screwed in place.

@@couldyoucook3085 Yeah- the stand idea is brilliant! When I see other pizza oven builds....and all the work for the base...and materials...and then you can't move it later..😡

Absolutely, the welding I forgot about that

I don't have a complete list to be honest. It was a while ago now So i would struggle to remember it all, and a lot of it depends on what you have around the house and also what materials/expenses you're happy to deal with. The playlist breaks down the process in a lot more detail, particularly the first video for the base which shows the initial materials I used to build the dome, but even that doesn't include things like tape and nails etc. Here's a link to that video if that helps ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MCkNHkzfUEQ.html I might make a 1 year later video and work on a list for that as you're not the first to ask. Cheers Paul 🙂

@@couldyoucook3085 thanks! I’ll check out the other videos. How’s it holding up? Really mostly interested in the type of fireproof concrete and the mix.

It's holding up nicely in my opinion. There is cracking but only superficial. This build cost around $300 (could easily spend another $1k on materials for professional quality oven) so it was always a compromise on materials. I just used general purpose cement and vermiculite (in future I would use perlite) and am happy with the results. I built the stand in such a way it wouldn't be difficult to remove if I had a failure

It was more like 5 weeks Garry. But it's a 5 minute video 😉

For a business it is definitely worth investing more in the materials to make something that holds the heat for longer, this style of oven is good for a family bbq with half a dozen pizzas, but looses the heat quickly, a serious pizza oven will stay hot all day without having to constantly add fuel

@@couldyoucook3085 thank you mate for valuable advice. I am considering to use a natural gas, rather than wood fire, because I am going to build it into the café. I want to keep it light and portable, in case I change the spot. but do you think this structure can work good for natural gas heating? again thank you

@@rmlabdullayev The main reason for building a pizza oven is the taste, which is from the wood fire, the design is to accommodate a wood fire and get it hot enough to cook a pizza in 90 seconds. If you are considering natural gas then a decent gas oven will work fine (probably much better) than trying to make one, and be cheaper than building a commercial grade pizza oven.

Thanks Joe 😁 I rendered the exterior for weather proofing, seems to be working well, but smart move using perlite as the vermiculite is quite crumbley. Good luck with your oven!

Agree

Why wouldn't you wat a pizza cooked in an oven with bar concrete walls? Genuinely curious as i am planning to make one similar to this....

And this is exactly why you get sick. Your afraid of every thing.

It was a workout 😂

I painted it 😊

You scared of a little dirt?

Thanks! Sorry I don't remember off the top of my head, but if you head over to the playlist for the oven build each video breaks it down into a lot of detail including ratios I used. The first video (base build) has the vermiculite ratio I'm pretty sure. Here's a link to the playlist ru-vid.com/group/PLMDHY347ibAXhCmrdZHmFCs-zReHWMFur Hope this helps ☺️

@@couldyoucook3085 just regular cement powder no special mud?

@@tracegrubbs7125 that's what I used yeah. I'm sure refractory cement would be better but was keeping cost down. I'm happy with how it's doing so far

@@couldyoucook3085 nice tnx for Info.

Watch the playlist then 😂

I'd say roughly 75kg including the render? That's going off the weight of materials used (it was a year ago so could be off by a bit)

@@couldyoucook3085 Cheers bro

pizza hut: no, it's our never-been-washed pizza tray.

Yes they are firebricks. It's for cost. This build cost about $300. While using more firebricks would make a better oven, when I built this in peak covid it was $8 per brick. Also in my case it was for weight due to the kind of stand I've made. Bricks in the middle means it's a hot cooking surface.

@@couldyoucook3085 thanks for the reply. I've seen several builds here and it seems to be fairly common to only do the center. Cool build thanks for sharing 👍

I think it's to do with the 'draw' or how the air is sucked in, circulates and exits. Results in a much hotter oven than if the chimney is at the top

@@couldyoucook3085 thanks for the info! BTW you did a great job on yours.

Fire bricks hold the heat. The vermiculite concrete acts more like insulation. It's also a bit suss cooking on concrete, especially this stuff as it's quite crumbley

100% necessary. Using any other brick will after time get thermal shock and disintegrate

I was thinking of setting it on some bricks. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Stove top pizza can be good, I don't mind them with like a pita bread or a wrap. The trick is not to load them up too much. The exercise ball was a nightmare to source as it was in the middle of covid lock down and everything was sold out 🙄 the missus recons she will use it now so we will see haha. Just follow the pizza oven playlist and your pizza oven will be just as nice 😉

@@couldyoucook3085 I can imagine. For a while, getting anything was a total pain. I'm sure we the gym rats completely lost their minds about being stuck at home. 😂 And except for the fire bricks, I'll be sourcing all, or almost all, of the ingredients from the land. No fancy stand or anything. But in terms of form and function, it'll definitely be pretty close. Might also be an art piece. Fire breathing dragon, maybe?

@@stonedapefarmer nice so more of a cob/earthen oven? fire breathing dragon sounds pretty fancy to me ha

It's render. I painted it, just didn't film it
