Square pizza oven

[tylerbecker]

Hello,
I would like to build my own WFO. I’m brand new to the forum and have been reading (and learning) a lot on here. I have a limited budget so I have been trying to think of a way to build an oven to suit my purposes as well as be cost-effective. It seems to me that casting my own using the homebrew mix might be the way to go. My question is: Would a rectangular 24” x 30” oven with a flat lid that sloped front front to back (18” high front wall, 12” high back wall) work? I could cast all the pieces separately and then mortar them together. Just not sure if a completely flat ceiling would work well. Thanks for any info

I suggest you download the free eplans from the Forno Bravo website. The plans specifically address how heat distribution is affected by oven shape.(square/retangular vs dome) as well as other WFO construction/design processes. You can still do a dome shape cast oven. There is a well documented cast oven in the Newbie Section named Treasure Archive.
