      Re: Larger Oven Design Help

      When I posted this I was basically finished up to the insulating concrete stage. I have cured it but now I have added stucco finish and am actually in the process of changing the vent on the front to make it deeper. It will be about 8-10 inches deep when I'm done. Doing the pour tommorrow and will post some pictures when I'm done that. I will have to do a bit of recuring and still need to get a 16" pizza peel to complete my pizza tool collection AND THEN I'll be ready to cook some pizzas haha. Long road. Actually I worked on this pretty steady 'cause of the cold weather approaching where I am. I started Sep. 1 (not counting stand fabrication) and would have been finished mid. October had I not needed to make changes. To say I'm itching to cook some za is an understatement haha. I will be using this for 15" pizzas and I think it was around 5 could fit in at one time at that size but I won't know for sure until I get cookin'.

        I look forward to hearing from your first pizza. It looks like you did a great job with that oven, congratulations.

        I'm planning on building a 48". I did a mock hearth to play with this morning. 5 12 inch pizzas could fit in the mock hearth but I'd be happy enough for 3 at a time and having space to move the pizza around and manage the fire.

        Seems like you are on the right track.

          Hey Kulas,

          48"/120cm is a size can be considered either a large residential oven or an entry size restaurant oven -- it does both applications (it's also a good size for mobile catering). We carry both 48" residential ovens (Premio120) and commercial ovens (Modena120).

          How are you going to use your oven? It's interesting to hear more.

            James,

            I have a barrel vault now which I use for pizza. I'm still thinking of making a round dome like the pompei since I want to make bread in the barrel vault and make the round dome dedicated to pizza only.

            Yes, I saw the modena and the premio120 in the fb store page and they are very beautiful. I'm thinking of building my own in the meantime since I have fire bricks left and clay from the barrel vault construction. I overdid my estimate for materials on that project.

            I am hoping to start my own thread in "Getting Started" coz i have some more questions. I will also post more info there.
