Re: Bend, Oregon USA 29" interior Floor

I've been looking at mobile versions for some time, and I often wonder how much of it is overkill. Knowing how much extra effort went into yours for travel, then seeing this latest one with seemingly nothing extra, makes me curious. Of course more is better in this case, I suppose, but more leads to cost usually. I can't get over how much they want for a new mobile oven on a trailer. That's a lot of pies!!! Seems like a homemade version helps you make money right there. (Not to mention I've emailed him multiple times and he's not responded.)

Total ignorance on my part but what are the threads sticking out all over the dome?

Now that you've had some time with the oven, anything you would change?

Chris,

How is the trailer holding up??

In reading the comments, the axle is uber important - I have bent a trailer Axel and it really sucks due to the excess tire wear, pulling and handling.

My thought was to make an integrated smoker and oven for events (pulled pork= bueno! Pulled pork pizza = NIRVANA!)

Do tell a bit more on your vent pipe - is it double or single wall?

Thanks

Just curious, What are the layers on the steel frame? Is that hardi backer---mortar--fb board--and finally the cooking floor?

I'm really not trying to revive an old thread. But I just finished reading the whole thing and was wondering if you could tell us how it went. I know its been a long time and your website seems to be down. But just for historic reasons, it would be cool to know what went right, what went wrong (if anything) with the oven in a trailer.

Thank you!

Sky, I believe Chris got booted from the forum some time back. He may have morphed into someone else, not sure...

Hi Les

Thanks for keeping me up to date..... Sky the oven turned out fine and worked perfect..... If I was going to do it again .... MAYBE hehe.... I would not make a 29 in floor. IT IS WAY TO SMALL TO KEEP UP WITH CUSTOMERS.....

hi letmeno

The floor was fire brick and below that was hardbacker just to hold the firebrick...... if I did it again I would use bricks on its edge..... THE FLOOR NEEDS MORE ABILITY TO HOLD HEAT..... I laid them flat...... It still worked perfect.... but with the bricks on its side it will retian heat easier and reheat the floor faster.......

The beginning of Propane Fires all Brick Oven on a Trailer for mobile catering.

If you refer to some of David S responses (our cast expert), brick ovens are prone to damage due to the vibration of a mobile unit. He suggest that a cast oven may be more suitable for mobile pizza oven due to minimal joints in the dome.

I'm not referring to some of David's information about cast experts. When I'm referring to is the oven was built in 2010 and the oven is still in use today on a trailer. The reason why it's in use on a trailers because it is built properly so it can withstand any vibrations. You have to understand how it was built. But in the meantime yes a modular oven would work better on a trailer if you don't know how to build a mobile unit using brick. This was actually the one of the first and I believe it might have been the first all brick mobile oven in the United States. Also this oven was in the era that forno bravo.... Did not like anyone to post anything about propane. But now we see it all over in the industry.

You miss understand, I was just suggesting that there have been "experienced" issues with brick oven on mobile platforms and that David has first hand experience. But it appears you have solved the issue. Gas/Propane is a suitable option but only if it is installed correctly and with UL listed equipment.
