  • 32" storage heater and brick dome build in Ireland

    Nearing the end of construction of my 32" pompeii build pizza oven made with storage heater bricks, vermiculite and old red bricks in Ireland and have referred back and forth to this forum for guidance throughout so wanted to share some pics of progress.

              Hi - a question - I'm about to start on the door ( maple backed with vermiculite board ) - what kind of gap should I be leaving at the base so the fire gets enough air ? thanks

                G'day
                The insulated doors used to retain heat in the oven so when fitted good and snug will kill the fire . Heat will remain so you can bake and cook over a number of days.
                A loose fitting door can be used to reflect the heat back into the oven but an insulated one is a bit of a waste . A " blast door" type needs only to be made of steel non insulated to do its job. And its job is with the fire in the oven

                          thanks Dave, you were right on the door , the heat went through the vermiculite and set the maple door on fire ! so I had a simple metal blast type door made which is working out much better.

                            Hi Kellerman, that’s a fantastic looking oven!

                            How’s are the storage heater bricks holding up? I’m looking to build something similar as I can often get hold of the bricks but I think that there’s to much work involved for them to not last very long.

                            id be grateful if you answer a few questions that I’ve got:

                            how many storage heater bricks did you use?
                            what mortar did you use?
                            how did the former work?

                            any other info you think might be useful would be gratefully received.

                            many thanks in advance.

                            regards,

                            David

                              Several other UK builders have used heater storage bricks in their builds. Kellerman has not posted in several years so it is uncertain he or she is still active.
