In this video I will show you how I insulate my brick oven floor. I will discuss different options for insulating the oven floor. I will explain the advantages and disadvantages of using ceramic fiberboard and vermiculite. I chose to use vermiculite as insulation. I will detail how to mix vermiculite using a 5:1:2 vermiculite, portland cement, water ratio. I will also detail how to fill a mold and screed it into form

You have created the absolute best video series on an oven build available! Like you, I've done a lot of research and your build is exactly what I was looking for all in one build rather than taking ideas from several builds. For example your detail on the arches for the opening and the chimney will help me so much in my build. Thank you so much for sharing your build!

@hausdesignstudio6153 Год назад

Your videos are super helpful - thank you. I am in the middle of building the oven. Vermiculite is such a loose product that even mixing it up with Portland cement - it kind of stays very brittle. My suggestion is to build the outside ring out of bricks, so the vermiculite stays in place.

Hi Alessandro, You're video's have been a great help and inspiration. We've communicated briefly before on a different part of this project. I am getting ready to create my vermiculite base. I have my concrete foundation, block base, and 2nd concrete slab already completed. I learned A LOT about laying block but that's another story. My question is regarding the aluminum foil that you lined your vermiculite form with. What was the reason to do this and did it work out the way you planned? Were you worried about the vermiculite mixture sticking to your form? Did you end up having to disassemble that form or did the foil allow you to slide it off? I ask because I noticed there was foil stuck to the vermiculite when you were done. I figured you would have tried to peel it off so it must have stuck? Just trying to get inside your head on the whole aluminum foil use and if it served it's purpose...or if you would have done something differently? This will be my first time working with vermiculite so I have no idea what to expect. All the best, CTD (Todd)

Hey, does it cause a problem if it rains on the vermiculite while it's in the curing process or after it has fully cured? Thank you in advance!

@beniceffs 2 года назад

I see you use portland cement instead of fire cement on the base. I would imagine the temperature transmitted down from the brick base would be high. Why did you not use fire cement? Can you use any builders cement? Great build btw.

@ArtisanMade 2 года назад

Thank you! Portland bonds with the vermiculite and/ or perlite and doesn’t break down with exposure to high heat the way concrete mortar does when it is used on brick. I’m not sure if refractory mortar would even bond will with vermiculite.

@sami011212 3 года назад

@LuckyCJ 3 года назад

Question from a pretty handy guy with almost zero masonry experience. Why did you not just create the entire "table top" with the vermiculite concrete and skip the 5" additional height and the mold? Is it a strength issue? Cost? Just curious. I'm close to starting my own project and am just weighting my options.

@ArtisanMade 3 года назад

Think of vermiculite concrete like a big Chunk of caramelized popcorn. It has no structural strength but it is strong to maintain its form under the weight of the oven as long as there is a strong base underneath

@LuckyCJ 3 года назад

@tonymuggio5405 3 года назад

I’m right at this part of my build where I’ve got to make my template for the insulation layer. What did you use to make the rounded sides in your template? I’ve got a few ideas, like planning down pine very thin, or possibly sign material. I also noticed you lined it with aluminum foil. Why? It’s been a fun and challenging build so far. Looking forward to sending pictures in the near future. Thank you

@ArtisanMade 3 года назад

I used hardboard, which feels like compressed cardboard. It is cheap and sold at any big box store. I used the foil because I was worried that it would absorb water and fall apart. It is definitely a labor of love. The thrill that you will experience from making that first pizza will never be forgotten. Please do send pics. Good luck!

@tonymuggio5405 3 года назад

Thanks. I meant to comment again and say I went back and watched closely and saw you used cardboard. I used a double wall cardboard with no aluminum foil. It did absorb water but from what I can tell it’s not crumbling.

@aaronhernandez3006 2 года назад

You Sir are extremely creative and I appreciate your channel, quick question are you at all concerned with the strength of the vermiculite base? I've never used this product. If I were to start my first course of fire brick on the outside of the vermiculite on the cement much like a stem wall for a stronger base what are your thoughts?

@ArtisanMade 2 года назад

Thank You! The vermiculite is plenty strong to hold the weight of the oven. This method has been used for a long time. The idea that you are describing (first row of the dome directly on the concrete slab and oven floor on the vermiculite) Is a common mistake. Firebrick absorbs heat. if there is no insulation between the concrete slab and the brick, the heat will escape into the concrete slab. Your oven will take longer to heat up and will not retain heat as long as it should. Good Luck!

@aaronhernandez3006 2 года назад

@@ArtisanMade Thanks for your quick response I'm new at this. I appreciate your videos.

@vaporwareproducts 3 месяца назад

How do you balance the need for thermal mass in the bottom of the oven by using refractory cement vs the insulative material like vermiculite or calcium silicate? Both vermiculite and calcium silicate are insulators and doesn’t add to the thermal mass that the oven needs. I think the best way is to cast a thick base of refractory cement then lay your bricks on that. This way you have a heat battery for long term floor heat storage….

@bobs5302 2 года назад

I know it would never be as good as proper fire bricks, but could you make your own bricks out of the vermiculite cement mix if you had the right ratio so they would be strong enough to hold together

@ArtisanMade 2 года назад

Strength is not the issue. Vermiculite is used for insulation. Firebrick absorbs and retains heat and reflects heat as well. That is what cooks your food.

@andikahetris5219 3 года назад

hi, can I use volcanic sand to replace the vermiculite? (the one that look black that is commonly used for aquascaping)

Sand is more of a conductor, than an insulator. I don’t believe this sand is any different.

@donlyons5279 8 месяцев назад

Why do you insulate the floor that will be covered with firebrick. Seems kind of counterintuitive. I’ve built several pizza ovens and never did this.

@ArtisanMade 8 месяцев назад

This is critical in building an efficient oven. Insulation prevents heat transfer. Your oven loses heat more quickly from your oven floor. Heat transfers from your fire brick to the concrete beneath it. The concrete continues to absorb more and more heat, drawing it away from the oven. It probably isn’t a big deal when you’re cooking a few pizzas, but you may notice that the oven floor may not cook the bottom of the 10th pizza as well as it did the first few. Also cooking with retained heat may be a problem because of the faster heat loss. A well insulated oven can be used for cooking several days after the last fire was extinguished and can take five days to return to ambient temperature.

@ArtisanMade 3 года назад

It depends on the size of your brick. My bricks were 8 inches and I cut them in half so I had to add an extra 4 inches all the way around. If you have the same size bricks as I did, you would have to add an additional 8 inches to your diameter. I will get back you on the arch sizes later. Thank for watching.

@@ArtisanMade Calcium Silicate Board and Ceramic Fiber Board both are priced very similar and are really expensive, will cost about $300 just for the base insulation alone. I was hopping maybe a better low cost solution could be viable with similar heat retention properties. For some reason ceramic fiber blanket is much cheaper than boards. I was thinking maybe to add the blanket with cement for the foundation. Also I heard many people saying perlite has better insulation properties than vermiculite when mixed with cement.

@ArtisanMade Год назад

My recommendation it to insulate. This is the most important part of the build. If you don’t insulate, the oven won’t cook properly. Pizza won’t cook evenly top and bottom unless you plan on only making 2 or three. Also baking bread will be challenging. Slow-cooking meat won’t be possible either. Most cost-effective insulation is going to be perlite or vermiculite. It will make all the difference the world.

@giovannniiii Год назад

Perlite is better then vermiculite
