    Re: losing heat fast on the floor...

    Well...looks like a traditional southwest horno...in which case the floor was placed without any insulation...that base was meant to be a heat sink for longer term slow cooking...also there is no insulation on the dome...just mud...if you want to do pizza for any length of time that floor and dome will need to be insulated

        If the oven is fairly new it may be that your gravel and sand (which by the way are not great insulating materials because they're dense) are still moist and moist insulation conducts heat easily. Your oven may improve the more you fire it.
