Hi everyone,
This is my very first post on here but I've lingered for longer, actually a little too long. I've been reading a lot about building ovens and what not and after convincing myself to get off my rear and do something, at least, I have decided that I want to build an oven. To get me started, though, I need to ask questions first.
I am planning on building a very small oven (tiny compared to the specified size on this website) and after searching online for a design, I stumbled upon a company that makes portable pizza ovens (not sure if I'm allowed to say the company name on here). So I looked into their design and their initial ones but was only able to find pictures.
The reason why I would like to build something similar is because of the size (I am a modern day nomad, I don't stay in one place for too long) and because I feel like building something small won't overwhelm me.
So, I will tell yous about my thoughts and would greatly appreciate any feedback/tips/suggestions.
This will be how I would like it to look:
It's really small but it's fine as I only want to cook a 12-inch pizza in it. I was thinking about two things: wood-fired and gas-fired. I know, I've read all of the things that people on here said about not messing with gas but from where I live, gas would be a very inexpensive way to fire this little oven.
If I am going with wood, it'll be easy for me to buy a little, camping wood stove, cut a hole at the rear of the oven floor and fit it at the bottom. I may have to think about building a chimney for the design, though.
If I am going with gas, I'll do the same: cut a hole at rear of the oven floor, and fit a single gas burner stove. The problem with it if it is okay to do this - I've read somewhere on here how the gas burners aren't build for low oxygen environment, etc. But since there is a big hole at the front, would that be okay? I will not be covering the front anyway.
My design and build will slightly be thicker as I will be using firebricks and rockwool instead of just cement as seen on the photo above.
Please let me know what yous think, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Cheers,
Fvsion
