G'Day from Redcliffe, Qld

Re: G'Day from Redcliffe, Qld

Unfortunatley it got too hot over the weekend

I remember "too hot".

I had a pizza from a stone oven as research while I was down there but it wasn't much good, not sure it was wood fired

There's no shortage of pizza places that advertise "brick oven pizza" that produce nothing of the kind. I was in a place recently that had a big "brick oven" sign out front, and an ordinary deck oven prominently placed just inside. I think folks are so used to pizza that tastes like red paint on library paste that they are reluctant to pay extra for real wood fired pizza.

Look after your neighbour with some freshly cooked pizza or bread.

Re: G'Day from Redcliffe, Qld

well I have the bricks for the oven stand at least. Too much on at the moment to even look at starting new projects, apparently I have to finish the ones I have already started. I am still lurking on the forums though, you can never know too much before starting something like this!

Giday again

well finish them up cause the winter her's the best time to build as it cool and DRY you don't want to build in summer. Can't believe Kranga dude did it in the heat it's pretty Humid in Coffs Harbour too

Necro posting!

My idea of hand building a brick pizza oven and decorating it in a byzantine style along with an internal rotating spit have had to be scaled down somewhat, looks like I will be pulling the trigger on a Casa2G100 because despite the fact that I don't actually do anything, I have no spare time and I would rather have a paint by numbers pizza oven than no pizza oven.

We are getting the front of the house concreted and I have asked the man to come out back and quote for pouring a slab for the pizza oven. My brother in law the welder is heading off so the metal frame will not be happening and it looks like besser blocks will be going in. Less storage (I have been saving up all year and I have about 20 milk crates worth of dried wood, mostly from cutting down the branches overhanging the pizza oven site).

I will build a BBQ next to the pizza oven, I took the old one down to make way for the pizza oven base, just a load of dry stacked bricks and half an oil drum, I think I can do better now we are getting serious!

Thanks for all the advice from the forum, will be uploading some pictures when it is done, will now be going for a Santorini style, better than nothing!

Gudday
It isn't paint by numbers to have a prebuilt shell.....smart... cuts down your build time. Trust me though you have enough to do building the slab base much less decoration. I was eating pizza for months before the oven stoped being a building zone
just enjoy the journey....the pizza a fringe benifit

Eyes on the prize!

I have a feeling that mine will look like a pile of besser bricks for a while. Stil, you have to start somewhere!
