nice build, my dad makes these for a living here in italy, from what i see from all americans is that you lay the first row of bricks face down, we always put standing up then mortar and then connect the top with the nottom, for that size you make , shoud take no more than one day to build, but like i say, nice video..
Looking forward to next video...love Turnip the kitty cat 🐱 🐈. Lol 😆... I checked you video and playlist...I didn't see any new video added since this one.
I haven’t yet. Starting this week I should be picking back up on this project. We will upload the next video in this series as soon as I start it back up. Thanks for watching!
Thx. Nice video, so the vermiculite is an insulator, what about the fact that you need lots of thermal mass on the bottom to retain the heat for second, third pizzas. Seems like things like calcium silicate board or vermiculite which are both insulators - while will keep the heat in the oven but won’t store the heat for the bottom - one of the most difficult aspects of cooking pizza in a wood fired oven but if you used straight refractory cement (like 6”) you would have the heat battery needed to solve the make up heat equation?
Hozit From Cape Town,South Africa! Awesome vids ,making my own pizza oven just changing a few things, want to ask a question if you built the teardrop trailer I’m previously viewed vids as I’m going down that pathway soon.😊
No disadvantages at all. The insulation layer is used mostly for retaining heat to keep the oven hot. You don’t have to have an insulation layer at all.
Refractory cement is just Portland cement with some alumina in it. You can actually get alumina particles pretty easy, but vermiculite and cement is pretty good for this stuff
