Building Your Own Brick Outdoor Pizza Oven
For decades, Brick Pizza Oven has been cooking delightful pizza with smoky flavor. If you want to have that same kind of result in your pizza at home, the best thing there is is making your own brick outdoor pizza oven. This article will give you the basic tips and steps in building your own oven.
First step is find a spot of land for your foundation. Choose an area in your lawn that has no hanging tree branches, make sure there are no susceptible-to-fire objects near your oven. Dig up to 2 feet so that your oven won’t be lurched by frost.
Second step is building the base. Usually, concrete is the easiest and cheapest way to do this part, but you can use adobe, cob or rocks or combination of these and any other materials. Make sure your base is not only attractive but also durable. If you use sand or gravel, make sure you pack it down tightly to prevent the oven from settling over time.
Third step is making the hearth slab. Cut wire frame work to even out the slab during curing. If you want to have an ash trap in your oven, leave a slot in your hearth slab where the ashes can drop through.
Fourth step is the oven hearth. There are firebricks available in any hardware nowadays. Once you have all the materials you need for your hearth, make a draft in a paper or cardboard. This will hlp you measure things accurately. The hearth should reflect the shape of the hearth slab, and leave enough space for the vault walls.
Fifth step is building the vault and baking chamber. The vault should have a minimum of two layers. It is iedal to have an inner shell (the actual oven chamber) and a second layer (for safety and insulation).
Protect the vault from weather by covering it with a weatherproof cap. Flip a wok upside down and connect it to the flue by welding it.
When the whole construction is done, allow the oven to dry for a week. Then you can start heat inside of the chamber by starting a small fire at the center of the baking chamber and gradually make a bigger fire.
When building, if possible, try putting a permanent thermometer into the baking chamber and the herath to monitor the temperature of your oven.
