Did a little more work today, then it rained.

Built a small fire in it to heat the oven up a touch to help it dry as the weather is cold and wet.

Added a few more bricks, and more refractory to the top of the barrel.

... it was best put to me by a fellow 4x4 enthusiast...

"You my friend are really a horrible mason"




Seems to be about dry. Hoping to get some insulation on it next week.

That is putting it lightly...

I work with metal / welding or building cars WAY better than I do wood or masonry

Hoping to pick up a load of apple wood tomorrow, and plan for a Thanksgiving pizza feast for the ovens first use! I hope it works, otherwise we are relegated to cooking in the oven in the house

Re: Newbie homemade oven project...

Also have to build me a homemade pizza peel between now and then. Have an old aluminum road sign, a grinder, wire wheel, and some conduit... so I think it will work

Any wood works for heating the oven.

I know ... I have about 6 cord of fir in the wood shed, but hoping to use a different wood with less popping and sparks for the oven

I have a HUGE white birch in my front yard that will be cut down as soon as the snow is gone and will be my oven wood for 2-3 years after it is nice and cured

Re: Newbie homemade oven project...

I didnt think about the popping, the wood we have here on the main doesnt do it.

This definitely makes for an interesting build. Let us know how your thanksgiving pizza turns out... turkey cranberry stuffing and gravy pizza... it could work right?

Re: Newbie homemade oven project...

Oven works great. It still isn't finished... needs frame built, and then sheeted and insulated to hold heat, but for pizza it works fantastic!
