Re: Will this design work?
Well, I convinced the customer to go ahead with the White Oven Design that I posted here earlier. He wanted a bake oven without the "carcinogens" associated with the smoke from the fire. Whatever, it was fun to design and build. It is complete now and we fired it today and... it worked amazingly well!!
We hit 550 F in the bake oven easily and cooked three pizza's, two at one time in about 8-10 minutes and the third by itself.
No burnt bottoms, but we did put them on an aluminum pizza plate rather than directly on the brick. I think keeping the floor thick enough was the key. I poured my own firebox/oven divider out of castable refractory. It is about 4" overall in thickness
The entire oven is built of firebrick. The smoke and heat is directed around the bake oven in 2" wide brick lined flues then across the top of the oven and out the back.
We built the oven to look as if it was originally part of the stonework in the surrounding ruins.
