36" Corner Build in Minnesota

Great tip! After mortaring the joints, I’ll put some sealant on the face.

Thanks!!

I use wooden peels as well. If I think the dough might sit on the peel a bit too long before placing it in the oven I'll sprinkle a little semolina flour on the peel before placing the dough on the peel and building the pizza. The semolina doesn't burn like 00 and offers a bit of added crunch.

Congrats on the first cook!

Set-up the forms to pour the top of the oven. Can’t wait to have this last big physical challenge completed.

It was a busy day today. Took off the forms for the oven roof, finished the veneer bricking on the front and side of the steps and completed the surface bonding cement on the base. Good progress but exhausting.

I read on this post from Utah about sealing the front of a Pizza Oven. Does anybody know what kind of sealant you would use?

[MnDude45]

Old Mill (the maker of the brick veneer I used) recommends this

Thank you Chris for your quick response. Do you have any idea how long it has to cure before using the oven thank you

[MnDude45]

Packaging says 12-24 hours before mortar/grouting. Full cure takes 72hrs.

Long but productive weekend. I got most of the exterior veneer on. I just need to put on the vertical bricks around the base and finish the sides. Then, mortar all the joints. I’ll probably have to save the base front until next year.

I finished the veneer on the base. Next up is to seal and mortar.

Looking very nice. With the mild winter and spring you will be able to get back at it again soon. I can't wait to see the finished product.

At long last, I can finally say it’s done. Finished up the brick and mortar on the face of the base. I never thought this day would come. Need to do some maintenance of water proofing and still need to get the oven door but what a ride.

Congrats, those last little items seem to take forever to do.

Impressive brick work. Great volume of wood storage. I was shooting for that amount of counter space but my eventual site would not accommodate it...envious. Enjoy!
