Hi all.
I have been lurking for long enough... I have decieded that it is time to join. I am in the process of buiding my own oven at home as I am sick and tired of making pizza's in my gas oven. Two of my sisters married italians and it was the mums who taught me to cook.My own mum struggled to prepare tv dinners...I have also worked in or owned a couple of resturants that served pizza's. Some one once asked how many pizza's had I made ,so we sat down and worked out that it was about 15000 /20000. At home in the gas oven my best afternoon was 17 for friends.
The only snag is at the moment I am broke so my budget for the oven is the local equivalent of about 15 us dollars.....
I live on a farm and have been using vineyard poles cut into 12 inch bits for cordwood building of the six support legs, we have a fair source of clay which I am using and I have discovered an old brick works on a mates farm.There must be 30 tons of fired clinker bricks along with slag, ash and other bits of brick making goodies.
I can now prdict that this will not be the most fancy oven but all I want out is wood fired pizza....
I have loads of questions but I will post them to hopefully the right places.
Cheers
Mike
