I am trying to get some momentum going with my pizza oven project but can't even seem to get started. I am stuck at the foundation dimensions... the beginning.
The only space where I can do my build will be fairly tight for a 42" oven but it is doable.
While working through location details though, I started to wonder about whether I should go with a 36" oven instead. I hate to give up the cooking space but I wonder how much it matters.
Size is one thing but I am also thinking that a 36" oven would be more efficient (all things being equal) than a 42" oven. My assumption is that a 36" oven would require less wood to get to the same temperature as a 42" oven. Is this a wrong assumption?
My question to those builders that have 42" (and up) ovens is: Are you satisfied with this size or do you wish you had a smaller oven that would not use as much wood and take as long to heat up.
On the flip side, are there builders of smaller ovens that feel limited by the size in some way?
A few folks commented on the subject in the 'What would you do different' thread but I wanted to ask this question specifically to see if more folks might respond.
Thanks for any feedback... my hope is that it will help me get off square one.
