Lee,

Welcome!

Yes, the fire will be inside the oven with the pizza. In order to use this type of oven for pizza, bread, roasts (or anything else) the bricks on the cooking surface, walls and dome must be completely saturated with heat.

The fastest, easiest method for saturating the bricks with heat is to build the fire inside the cooking chamber. The ovens are designed to "breathe" so the fire receives oxygen and can exhaust waste gasses through the vent/chimney.

Re: New Here

Lee, go to the photo gallery and check out some of the work done by these great oven builders. You will find photos showing cooking of pizzas and foods with the logs bunings and flames flying high, allowing high levels of BTU's for heat. As said by many, you want constant heat for the pizzas, with lower temps for breads. You will start to know the threads that will help you clarify your own needs, and the members always willing to help.

Hi Ken

The pizza cooks right on the fire brick floor of the oven; no pizza pan if that's what you are asking.

As Acoma said, start browsing the photo gallery and reading threads on the various boards here. Lots of answers to basic questions are waiting for you.
