You're right. I did forget about you. Sorry. Are you aware of any others I've missed?

Joe you forgot me! Payson I threw away the bricks you said you wanted cuz you never contacted me last winter. My oven is a 32 inch pompei.

FYI I bought all my brick from Interpace in Orem and I believe they had the best price around at the time. $1.20 each for full size.

I'd like to see it. I was contemplating an Alan Scott oven before I found Forno Bravo. It'll be interesting to compare notes on how the two styles of oven perform.

Re: Utah Brick Ovens

I built a Alan Scott oven. At the time I thought the round ovens looked too complicated to build. I just recently finished the oven to the point where I feel comfortable with winter coming. Next spring I'll finish the exterior tile, stucco and surrounding landscaping. I have all my build pics up on facebook. Just do a search for Frank Fortino and send me a message that your from the Forno Bravo forum and I'll add you as a friend.

I bought my firebrick from Lehi Block because I could get it delivered at the same time as pavers for a patio. Lehi doesn't carry full size bricks anymore, only splits, so when I needed more I bought them from Buehner Block, which is also where I bought flue tile. I bought the concrete block from Home Depot. I bought Heat Stop refractory mortar from the manufacturer. I called them to find out if they had a distributor in Utah, and they called me back and made a really good deal, which I agreed not to tell anyone about. Not only were they really nice, they explained the importance of mixing with cold water, only mixing as much as you can use in 20 minutes, and keeping the firebrick wet. I bought steel studs and hardibacker from Colonial Building Supply in Centerville -- also really helpful people.

I thought I would start a thread for WFOs in Utah. I really struggled finding materials, so I'd like to share what I learned with others along the Wasatch Front who are thinking of buying or building a WFO.

In addition to mine in Kaysville, I'm aware of an oven in Santaquin, Draper, West Valley City, and Cache Valley. I believe there are others. Let's collect threads here, learn from each other, and help out any newbies.
