Pizza Oven Progress

This is a Outdoor Pizza Oven Project I am working on when time allows! Buy it for $20,000! Or I can make you one at your house

Fire Started using Propane Torch
Welded Pizza Oven Stand
TAC Welding, Inc
Bo Checking it out
hardy backer and rebar
support under backer board
Mesh Rebar Added All Tied together
Concrete Poured
Drying Begins
Helpful Template
5 Parts Vermiculite 1 Part Portland Cement 2 Parts Water
5″ pieces of Vertical Rebar in 6 spots placed 2″ into Concrete Sticking up 3″ into Oven Base To Secure
Slow Curing with plastic
Keeping it from Freezing
Herringbone Pattern On Oven Floor
4″ Inner Arch Template Ready For Arch To Be Laid
Radius Tool Made From A Wheel Caster
Notice The 8″ Outer Radius Template Under The Pizza Stand
Getting a bit tricky around the opening!
Finally past the arch
Brick angle getting steep!
gets really hard to clean the brick on the inside of the oven now
Looking down through the top at the oven floor
I was using sticks to hold up the bricks, but that is no longer feasible
Trying a gym ball to finish this
Had to raise up the ball a bit
Ball didn’t hold air very well. Ended up using sticks. Just had to put them in from the front opening instead of the top.
Used a sponge tied to a stick to try and clean the mud off the brick! It will have soot soon enough!
Dome complete
Now for the second arch and chimney
Even with lousy wood working skills, and not having a perfectly straight template to brick around, I managed to make them work!
Chimney hole ready for chimney
top view of chimney hole
Chimney build up. I cut the front bricks to keep the hole the same.
Built on a landing to cover the front of oven and for one last arch to be built on
Those brick cut on an angle is for the angle of the inside of the chimney as it goes toward the round hole on top
Camas Keystone I made with Sierra mist brick to form the last arch
Oak blend firewood delivered
Time to Cure the oven
Goal of 175degrees for first fire
The Temporary door acts as a damper
Chimney working
Open door to get in some oxygen
Tough to keep it at 175
3 Layers
chicken wire
next comes rendering
Silver Falls stone on Chimney
Working Progress!
