Hi All,
I am about to undertake the journey that is building the stand and hearth for a pizza oven. I've been looking at every website I can get my hands on in relation to stand design and will be looking to adhere to the instructions provided on this website as close as possible.
I am going with a 1.6m x 2m concrete pad (reinforced) and if I use the 400x200x200 Besser Block Bricks (and a few half bricks) I should be able to build it without too many cuts.
The questions I have for fellow Melbourne-ites are (I am based in Gisborne):
I am still not quite getting how to lay the hearth. I was thinking of laying steel lintels across the stand lengthways then using Cement sheet to provide a base. Form there I'd form up the stand and lay more Reo and pour cement in. Is that a good way to go?
I am going with a 1.6m x 2m concrete pad (reinforced) and if I use the 400x200x200 Besser Block Bricks (and a few half bricks) I should be able to build it without too many cuts.
The pizza oven will be an Amalfi DIY one (the pad dimensions I've provided are based off the sizes on the site).
Is there anything else I need to consider? Somewhat nervous and excited at the same time as its been a long time coming and Christmas is just around the corner

The questions I have for fellow Melbourne-ites are (I am based in Gisborne):
- Where are some good places to get the Besser Block Bricks?
- Is there any Gotch'as I should consider?
- What size base did you lay before starting?
